SDCC speculation: What do you want?

Jazz342 · 03-17-2012, 08:44 AM

With the botcon coming up, Hasbro will be showing us the SDCC exclusives for 2012. What do you think we're getting? What do you want to get?
What I'd like to see is:
FE primes voyager and deluxes (particularly Bulkhead and Arcee)
HA Soundwave
deluxe trilogy figs
And since they've been offering reissues the last few years, I'd like to see Shockwave. I expect Devastator to fill in this position this year though.

Lets aim higher:

An SDCC Masterforce box set. Not the DVDs. The toys. All of them.
Because Hasbro really like us and want to say sorry for flooding the world with Bumblebees.

What if allll this years exclusives were bumblebees? LOL.
Forgot to add Nemesis prime/scourge from rts optimus

Nemesis Bumblebee

If BotCon is anything to go by, the SDCC exclusive will probably be the RTS G2 Laser Optimus Prime mold repainted into Toxitron.

Looking last years my guess is an exclusive current-line repaint with a custom package and some G1 reissue. So, this is my idea:

Repaint:
Scourge/Nemesis Prime from RTS G2 Laser Optimus Prime
Reissue:
Some Scramble City Combiner Gift Set

I would like to have Protectobots or Aerialbots (need Hotspot and Silverbolt base modes to complete my Metroplex) but to re-release Bruticus would make a nice *real* RID homage.

I hope it's something lame that I can live without so I won't have to spend a fortune to hunt it down!

It's going to be Nemesis Prime, there is no doubt in my mind Hasbro will do this.

It's a quick and easy repaint of a current figure that happens to be a fan favorite. Plus, they've done Nemesis Prime at SDCC before so it would just be part of a theme.

If I had to guess, it would be:

Nemesis Prime from RtS Prime
FE Bulkhead / Prime
HISS Shockwave Tank

I could see Hasbro making FE Bulkhead / Prime in limited quantities for SDCC and the post SDCC HTS sale and then going "Well fans, we promised we'd look into it, here's your FE stuff, limited time only!"

Fans win, Hasbro keeps its word, everyone is happy. They could even give them SDCC packaging too and call it limited edition. This way, they are also promoting Transformers Prime at SDCC with their two strongest figures made to date.

I could see G1 Devastator since he was recently reissued by Takara and is one of the most iconic G1 Transformers.

Nemesis Prime/Scourge from the G2 Prime mold.
