Yes Alpha 6 was around during Turbo till the end of Lost Galaxy.

Re: Drunken Bot Shots - Wish I was gonna be there.

Re: SDCC Shocky - I think the original case of money was US Dollars and Euro's. I love this thing and can't wait to get it.

Re: TF: Prime FE - I don't think they were rushed so much as just planned for generations so they would be at market before the movie line left and the mainline for Prime could take over. I know they were supposed to be released way earlier than they came out, and RiD was supposed to run alongside Movie Trilogy, with Generations eventually replacing MT. But yeah, something got JANKED. Production, retailers, team changes, internal change of direction, etc, who knows.

RE: Target exclusive movie Leadfoot cancellation. I can't imagine Hasbro backing out of something they agreed upon with Target. I imagine Target HAD to be the one to cancel this.

 

Vangelus would die happy if he was given a giant robot version of himself.  

 

is anyone else having a problem with itunes?
The episode doesn't seem to show up there.

 

I need some DeceptiDollars now, and maybe some AutoBucks as well.

 

As someone who is a bit of an Optimus fan boy, listening to Gog gush over the FE Voyager made me, to put it mildly; green with envy.

I also think Vangelus' reaction to the Marvel "Jumpstarters" was similar to my own. They are literally the exact same engineering as the originals.

Cap and Hulk may not have drills, but the Ironman makes a pretty good Topspin:

 

He's SO GOOD.

The longer the BETTER!

I welcome Off Topic toy questions to.



Anything that kills time at work and involves toys is all Good!

 

Holy crap you finally got around to it. XD

Also, I always aim to please. Hefty landline click, activate! *flies away*

Also, I am also glad they didn't pump out a WFC sequel using the "Same Old S***" engine. Star Wars the Force Unleashed II, which I played very recently, suffers from being too similar to the last game, and seems like more of a money grab than anything.

 

I think any answers we get from Hasbro regarding the FE toys are going to line-up with what cooler heads are already positing. There was a decision to move the line in a more kid-friendly direction, and with the losses Hasbro's reporting in other toy lines, I can see why they'd be in a place where more impulsive board-generated decisions are being made. And to be fair, the kids of friends who visit me, really dig the PRID versions. Anything spring-loaded and light-up is an eternal source of entertainment for the 6-12 crowd.

Also, you guys are mispronouncing "Autorooper." What the heck is an Autotrooper? That's such a nonsensical conglomeration of words. They are clearly robotic versions of Jemima Rooper.

 

I did realize that Fall of Cybertron Shockwave's alt mode looks like either the Gotengo from Godzilla Final Wars or Atragon.

 

  the thought of a drunken Bot Shot game is just too good. This better go down at BotCon.

 

What I suspect from the hover board (pardon if its been said, I am on mobile and can't check) is that the board and base will have counter magnets so they repel vs attract. This will allow the board to "hover" a distance above a display base it will come with. And thus will allow the board to glide over a limited distance which is the display base. Similar to those "floating pens."

 

The box says it "glides over most surfaces."

 

Ahh I was just speculating maybe it's a magnetic mat that is counter to magnets on the board, therefore so long as the mat can fit on "most surfaces" so will the board. Or so long as you can place the stand on the surface it'll be gliding over it..  

But more seriously, I'll be interested to see what they are actually planning though. I guess it depends how much air they can make it produce as there are toy hovercrafts that "float" on a little pocket of air.. So I guess that's possible.
