    Dear god, are those christmas star wars figures extremely niche or what? The only way I'd ever pick on up is to do a star wars elf on the shelf thing for my son around christmas time.

    I love those christmas Star Wars a ton. If I can Decorate X-mas and Cool Geek at the same time I'm in.

    -ZacWilliam, a Black Series Taun Tuan with antlers and a red nose would have been a nice capper.

    I ended up getting two of the Drizzt sets and the Mandalorian Armorer for my girlfriend.
    If I'd have missed the Drizzt set, I would have honestly paid aftermarket for it. I have been fan since the very beginning (every book, omnibus, graphic novel), met RA Salvatore and even named my daughter a variation on Gwenhwyvar's name (if she were born a boy she'd have been named Raistlen).
    So yeah, this figure is going to hold a place of high honor in my household.

    With possible TF pre-orders going up tomorrow, this weekend is shaping up to be seriously expensive. In a good way.

    If Studio Series 86 is to be announced tomorrow, could we expect to see Blurr? I haven't heard if he's supposed to be in the upcoming wave or one later in the year.

    That Panther is perfect to fit ML Black Panther.

    Pardon me if someone's mentioned this before, but what if the Ark has all 3 modes, one of which being The Last Autobot, and the third being Autobot City from the movie?

    Is there anywhere where I can watch the Pulsecon segments? I've been working all day and had hoped to catch some panels at home because usually YouTube streams go to VOD. This worries me about tomorrow because I'll miss the Transformers panels as well, and obviously those are the ones I really would like to see.

    Of course, but I would like to watch them myself after work, especially the voice actor panel. Hopefully they'll get reuploaded or something

    That's it exactly.

    It's not feasible to make a scale Unicron or Primus, so that's a red herring argument. But can you make a to scale city former? Sure. Can you make a to scale Ark? Sure. But they would need to be Haslab projects and in the vein of the old GIJoe FLAGG. We give city formers a pass because they've been around and out of scale since the beginning...but the Ark is different. Conceptually, it's a carrier for your action figures. And judging from prior Titans, there's no way the likes of ER Optimus or Siege Ultra Magnus would have any way of interacting with it in that way.

    The Last Autobot robot mode isn't even really anything to me. It shows up in a few panels in the comic. It won't even have an accurate alt mode, since it was never the Ark.

    So, a too small Ark with a potentially useless robot mode. Nope, Hasbro would need to do better than that for me. Might as well just buy the Ultimate Armor Cyberverse Optimus Prime and use that Ark for all the good a titan player for micromasters would do us.

    That's why I hope it's not true. I'd want a redo of Metroplex, Metrotitan, Brave Maximus or Black Zarak a million times over an Ark.

    Again, I'd rather just have Autobot City transform into an orange Metroplex.

    Well that's you, and a few others



    The rest of us will totally enjoy getting a rendition of the Ark (for the first time) at Titan scale and probably pick up Core figures to interact with it. It will be my first Titan, can't wait!

    None of the Titans are to scale with anything anyway....Maybe each other (show me Metroplex with a Voyager inside one of his Skyscrapers).. in that way the Ark would be the same scale.

    This is the standard you want them to reach, that's not realistic. That's still not to Scale because it would need enough room for UltraMagnus to move about freely.

    Not even a Haslab project would allow that.

    If they reveal as much stuff for Transformers as they did for Marvel and Star Wars, tomorrow is going to be a good day.

    Looks like they removed day 1 video. Drats, I wanted to watch the Star Wars panel again.

    A large chunk of it supposedly detaches to form Teletraan-1 and I believe there's a base mode.

    My guess is (and some pointed this out earlier) is that maybe Teletran-1 Transforms into that shuttle, there are some similar pieces you can see in the renders.

    From Marvel #26? You know, it does bear a very passing resemblance.
