    FunPub has no rights. That's like you filing a copyright strike on Hasbro because they infringed on your fanfiction. FP was endorsed by Hasbro, yes, but everything they created was ultimately at the pleasure of, and belonged to, Hasbro. And you are arguing for the IP rights of a bankrupt company.

    With every Generations Selects release, Hasbro proves they can release superior exclusives to a wider range of people for much cheaper than Botcon ever did. There is nothing left at this point that low-volume conventions like Botcon can do, that the Internet can't handle in spades. This is not 2008 any more.

    Yeah, SELECTS is miles ahead of having to go to conventions or pay insane amount of cash on Ebay.

    Oh geez! I completely forgot about the evil rodimus they released, apologies. I suppose he wasnt memorable to me. Now that you did mention it, MP 10 also had a SG release, right?

    Despite my inaccuracy, this is awesome; and I want more SG.

    They did go for a nice broad sampling of in and around the franchise:

    Late G1
    Gobots
    G2
    JG1
    Diaclone
    Shattered Glass

    I only preordered 2 out of 6, but that’s more than good enough for me. ^_^

    Meh, I would have been interested if they used a different colour scheme for Ratchet, or just used another SG character.  Ratchet\'s mold is not that great and I\'ve already put up with it enough by ordering regular Ironhide and Ratchet.

    Easy pass.

    It is 99% of the way there and it's one or maybe two reprolabels away. Hell, maybe the SG bots rebranded as cons when they came to the main universe.

    Man, is this new Ratchet repaint announcement a real awesome high for you or what?! :lol 
    Personally, Id take the SG Optimus Prime and leave that SG Ratchet. Not my thing, tbh.

    This depends if SG Optimus and Ratchet are a success. I'd say give it some time

    I'm expecting at least Kingdom Galvatron into SG Megatron and then a SG Starscream (that Seekers mold is going to used until it break after all) at some point.

    Full conversation. He also leaked Sandstorm, which I actually mentioned at the time and nobody paid any attention to it.

    Nope. I usually just buy figures from him, this is the first time he's ever had any kind of mew information.

    Yeah, I was planning on buying it from him, which is why he sent the picture.

    What are your trying to prove? That you are a superior human being, because you, and you alone, hold secret knowledge about the future of the franchise, and we must supplicate ourselves to your anointed countenance?

    Congratulations. You're a Transformers Gnostic. Here's your cookie.

    No, I and one other questioned the legitimacy of his claim and he backed it up.
