Most likely yeah. 3p hasn’t been wowing me much as of late.

 

Dont want to argue on language but "production sample" is a specific type of prototype typically ftom a pilot run on a line. We have no idea what state the colored sample is from. Could be a painted early test shots. "Early production" is anything made on production intent tooling before actual full scale production but after tooling is already proved out (so not early test shots). These are standard terms not specific to toys anyone involved in a manufacturing field wiuld use.. So what im asking to see is essentially almost production ready stuff molded on production intent tooling, assembled on the line destined to assemble the product once its in actual full scale production.

 

Oh, I like this idea(s). You sir, are an outside the box thinker. I bet you're handsome too.

 

What kinds of hints were there?

 

LONGTOOTH!

When is this,anyway?

I just want to see Magic Square show up. It's time for some news on their OP 2.0.

 

i shouldn't get excited but i am , i do it to myself evey time only to end up meh!  

 

Likely:
MMC's Infinite Finity renders

Fanshobby Energon Prime in color
-Armada designs

Unlikely:
GCreation - physical prototype for their Bomber Megatron

Generation Toy - TBeast Rodimus

Doubt:
-FansToys Marauder/Ethereon updates

 

MP Scorponok, but comic scaled. I'm thinking MP-22 size.

Failing that, could we at least see some of the bloody figures which were supposed to out by now?

 

I would love

-MMC's Infinite Finity Topkick truck G1 Ironhide.
-MMC's Infinite Finity Eris reissue.

 

Ooh, a topkick G1 Ironhide would be a nice idea (this idea needs to be spread along the other MMC boards)

 

Hopes:

XTB showing some Diaclone Hiluxes, color adjustments to at least Groove (arms) and hinting at a true toonish grey Streetwise (okay probably naive, but I can dream), while already hinting at toy, G2, and Guard City versions for the Protectobots down the road

FT giving some dates for finally finishing their fucking Aerialbots, and even hinting at G2 versions of them and their Stunticons

MMC doing a Super Megatron and Sky Garry as part of the Unlimited line, and a Pharma for Reformatted (I can't remember if that line's supposed to be dead after Rung's finally out, but I don't care I want a Pharma), along with more updates on their Deathsaurus

Newage showing off their own Stunticons (my hopes for G2 and toy versions ride with them), plus Combaticons, more minibots, Blitzwing, and Diaclone/G2 Constructicons

Magic Square taking a crack at the Technobots and Terrorcons

PlX doing their version of a IDW-style Victory Leo anyways to go with their Star Saber

 

New Age carbots.
More than anything I just want to see some Newage carbots and diaclone repaints thereof.

And an XTB Tracks reveal.
And Fanstoys Scourge and Blitzwing.

 

Honestly I expect to get none of these, but I guess I will at least express them.

Fans Toys: Menasor and/or Superion in physical form, preferably in color. I would take that as a sign they have solved whatever issue they are having and will be coming out. Barring that I would like them to show Dead End in color and figures for Slingshot and Fireflight deciding to release them on their own if they haven't figured out combined mode.

If they do show the physical figures for Menasor and Superion I would want them to reveal their next combiners, I don't really care who they are since I'm getting all of them. Computron/Abominus would be nice though.

US Rebirth version of Hannibal. Also the full Fort Max body with a tease for the next City Bot.

MMC: Honestly all I want to see from them are their Autobot Cassettes and any further ReMix Cassettes (Ratbat, Overkill, Slugfest, etc). Since literally none of the figures we were told are a higher priority for MMC last time one of their people said something have even been shown in color yet I'm not holding my breath.

Magic Square: An upsize of their Megatron to MP scale to go with their Optimus.

For Legends scale I think my preference would be for them to finish the 1984 Autobots to have complete sets for both factions before continuing on systematically. I feel like have a solid plan rather than jumping around randomly like every other company does.

Planet X: More from their WFC/FOC line. I know they have branched out, but I'm still all in on that line. I expect they will go more on the IDW side instead, but this is the one I have the highest hope of actually happening.

Civil Warrior: Anything really continuing on their line after General Grant.

 

I will mention for those who aren't aware Iron Factory new announcements have historically been at a Chinese show at the beginning of December so I would be surprised if we got anything from them. Maybe some updates of already announced figures, but even that isn't guaranteed.

 

I hope we see a finished D-Zef from MMC. I swear to god if Hasbro announces a Deathsaurus as a Haslab project to go with Star Saber before D-Zef is out MMC will shelf the toy indefinitely.

 

When is the 3p panel? This Sunday?

 

i have been calling for an mp detahshead for years but i'm an ugly fucker

 

If it's really a wishlist....

MAKETOYS:
Release dates of "Coneheads"

...I don't believe in miracles, though

 

It's a weird thing to put on a wishlist, but I'm just hoping for a small but believable number of reveals. We've all been there when there are 50 reveals and you know half of it is 2-4+ years off, and a quarter won't happen at all.

For the lines I'm into:
- More physical samples of Moon Studios Raiden
- Physical samples of all the renders for XTB stuff that they've put up renders for over the last few months (Inferno molds, Minibot redecos, Omnibots, Battlechargers, PCP)
- MMC to do (more) Diaclone redecos of Hoist/Trailbreaker and maybe show off a whole new mold
- Someone to do a pre-TF version of Reflector at MP scale
- Someone, anyone, to make G2 guys (Rotorstorm, Skyquake, etc) that are new molds and not just the G1 redecos we usually get
- A physical sample of FT's full Fort Max would just be cool to see even if I'm not getting it.

 

Reveals?

Zeta/Moon - Computron and/or Abominus as accurate as Raiden.
TE - Coneheads.

Prototypes?

MMC - Autobot Cassettes
TE/FT - Blaster (I'm not fussed who, they're both capable of smashing it out of the park.
XTB - Galvatron/Defensor.
