I am going nutty waiting on this!

Never bothered to ask, what is a panel again? A chat where you ask stuff, right?
EDIT: Pretty much figured it out, but when I try to enter a message, it says I need to make an account and click "Profile". It says I can't create one and I have to contact the "Cbox" owner...

Oh man, I thought this was Friday. Can't say I'm upset that I don't have to wait until tomorrow though! The only thing I'm really hoping for is an official word on the price for MP Prime, hopefully I won't be disappointed.

MP Thundercracker....I need you.
You complete me.

I would just like to point out that if Hasbro doesn't show voyager Breakdown in USA it's totally revenge for every single time a fangirl said OMG THIS GIVES ME FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS on Tumblr while reblogging pictures of Knockout's ass.

Can't wait for it to start! 
Dogimus Prime
Hopefully we get some news that we don't already know about.
Nightrain
Show me SOMETHING to get excited about.

I'm gonna guess we'll see almost nothing new just what was at Botcon and maybe a few things from Japan like Prime Magnus.
I could be wrong, and there could be great surprises, and I'd be happy, but I kinda think the odds are better that there'll be a bunch of folks moaning that it was all old news.
-ZacWilliam, my self I just want to see a non FoC Generations, or failing that, Voyager Grimlock and FoC style Blaster with Recordicons.

Don't want to get anyone excited but the Transformers facebook page said they were going to talk about theme park rides. Now unless they're talking about how successful the Transformers ride is this makes me hopeful for a florida version.
Hypershock
I. can NOT. WAIT. for PRIME NEWS!!!!!!!
Swoop
MP Thundercracker news or GTFO
HeroicC300
Two important questions that need to be asked;
Will Magnus appear in the show since he's getting a CV toy and a Voyager?
And
Will the Break end in August?

I hope we find out when Prime will return
General Tekno
I'm guessing we'll get teased some figures from 2013.
Probably not much to be teased for Generations though, given they showed a lot at Botcon on purpose.

Seeong as everything we actually know about for sure is already in stores or the dispay cases...

It doesn't really matter what figures are revealed. I'm going to be holding my breath hoping they actually see a release on the toy shelves.
Dirge121
Please someone ask if Voyager Breakdown will be released in the US, as Breakdown and not whatever dumb repaint might be lined up.
Also please hurl a brick at anyone asking about a G1 Arcee.

It would be nice to get some info on the MP Thundercracker situation ...
Kaijumaster
ok, I'll phrase the question "A few months ago a person claiming to be a TRU employee took a picture on his cell camera of a small B&W box that said Masterpiece Thundercracker on a single sheet of paper, given this confirmation of it's US release will you in fact me keeping to your promise that you made via single store plan-o-gram?"
Actually I'd love to hope for a FOC Grimlock, but I'm totally content after yesterdays Kreo announcments.

Yes...someone ask if MP Thundercracker really exists and if it will use the new or old seeker mold.

Fingers crossed they show protos of Generations for next year. I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for anything though. They need to pimp the hell out if the FoC stuff since its the next big thing but personally I'm bored of the terrible designs being translated into even worse toys so I can't really get excited about it outside of a couple of them. Prove me wrong with some Dinobots Hasbro. I WANT to eat crow on that one.
ZacWilliam
It's one of the 3 in fiction cannonical names for Soundwave's minions.
And snce the other two both include the word "cassette" and these guys are not cassettes but Data Discs the Recordicon name is the only one that really fits them.

Would a voyager FOC Grimlock be a large deluxe from before they decided to shrink the figures?
Kaijumaster
They really need to listen to the fans and release Voyager FOC Grimlock....so we can pick up a new figure to complain about how they never listen to fans and release the toys we ask for.
SPLIT LIP
You know, the current voyagers aren't large deluxes, so...

I'll just stick to calling them minions. Makes Soundwave sound more of a bad ass.

Is the starting time 22:30 CET?
You mean they're still normal Voyager size?

I just want news on Breakdown and Jet Vehicon.
Oh, and some FOC Seeker redecos and maybe an Ironhide. I'd say a new mold Slipstream too but then I'd just be dreaming.

And why would Soundwave's minions be sold with Blaster? Why not their Autobot counterparts: Steeljaw, Rewind, Eject et al?

So what are they.... Last voyager I bought was RTS Grapple. Are voyagers still that size??

Just because they aren't twice the size doesn't make them slightly larger Deluxes.

Things I want to know:
-The numerous Takara-confirmed Prime figs (Breakdown, Jet Vehicon, Unicron) coming to US?
-Reason for rising prices/shrinking figures?
-Is Hasbro taking any steps now to facilitate better distribution of figures/selling to retail to prevent problems like with DOTM Wave 6 and FE?

Again, it's the only cassette team name we have that doesn't have Cassette in it. Brain-translate it to Recordibot if it makes you happy.
-ZacWilliam, this day and age we've had numerous Non-Decepticon teams with the -con suffix. It's not a hard idea to follow if you'r not being nitpicky to a silly extent.

You're right. It makes them a small Voyager in the old size standard.
