Oh man how did you miss the 7-packs when they look so cool.

Joe and Cobra 7-Packs

Sort of hard for anyone to say the Joe team doesn't like it's old fans when there is so much classic goodness packed into these figures. They haven't released an exact release date for them yet but word is sometime this fall from the on-line retailers.

 

Yeah saying it doesn't look like a fembot is a bit of an understatement, lol. Yes, there is technically an Arcee car out there, but I'm 99% sure everyone knows what I am talking about when I say we want a car based Arcee. I'm not really sure what you meant by the foolish comment, however. I think most of us are aware of Binaltech Arcee's existence, its just that regardless of whatever Takara calls it, most people still don't consider it Arcee. We just recognize it for what it is, a very lazy repaint. That said, I want to pick one up at some point, cause I like the mold, and I am hoping there is some way I can switch out the decepticon chest from Decepticharge so I can have atleast one more evil Binaltech. They are way to out numbered by the Autobots.

 

Newbies are always fun, aren't they? 

 

This reminds me of the end of Beast Machines and The Hasbro Botcon tour.

I understand many, many people are upset, but we must realize that even though glorious things exist right before our eyes, we can't always have everything...

 

Says the guy with just 200 posts.

And I've been around the fandom a LONG time. I was on the TF MUSH when most of you were still in diapers.

 

That was a Double Edged post. Pointing in 2 directions hence the Smiley.

 

200 posts is still more than yours.

Please learn to lighten up. You seem to be a very angry and bitter person. Who cares how long you've been around the fandom? I was posting on Google groups long before it was even Google, and when people were still using dial up.

Btw, I have a life outside this fandom, and I participate when I feel like there is something interesting to talk about, not just so I can drive up my post count. Simple as that.

 

Lots of us have been around since the early days. But instead of an e-peen war, how about some ideas for ways Arcee (and others) could make it into production?

- ROTF packaging
- Return of Animated, post ROTF
- Universe 3.0, post ROTF
- Universe 2.0, retailer exclusive during the movie line's run (we've heard there's supposed to be some of these)
- HTS Exclusive or mail-away of some kind
- Botcon or FP exclusive (yes, it would be a first for a new mold)

Not all of these are necessarily viable, but we're just brainstorming. What else?

 

At least if the toy is never released, there's a certain fairness in the idea that no one will have it. If the toy were only released as an overpriced con exclusive, well, that would be a shitstorm on a level heretofore unseen.

True, and although I personally wouldn't care about crying fanboys, I agree it's the least likely of the ideas I presented there.

 

Hopefully Arcee will be released at some point, I have 2 daughters (as well as myself) that each want one. That makes 3 right there Hasbro, please make it so!

 

I can see all the fanbase embracing totally all Transformer movie toys from 2007 and 2009(sarcasm) and not buying 1 Animated or Classics Universe figure. Theres a fan consciousness that wants G1 inspired designs even if there only 12 years old. I expressed wanting a transforming Titanium Unicron and one moron in the audience said it would kill someone if you hit them over the head with it if it was ultra sized(thats why an age range is plainly stamped on the box) so a great idea flushed down the toilet. If you dont stand up and tell Hasbro what you want your useless and to prove the point tons of 2007 movie figures are flooding Ross and TJ Maxx(FYI Ross and TJ Maxx is bottom of the barrel to try to get rid of excess overproduced toys at prices that are usually 1/3rd of what they were at retail) were I live especially Robot Heroes.

 

Maybe an on-line retailer exclusive like they did with the GI Joe line. Since it spread the exclusive over several stores instead of just one on-line retailer the Joe fans were fairly happy with the internet exclusive and the retailers were happy for the extra traffic and fans sharing where the best place to shop on-line was.

Does seem like they have a lot of options so fingers crossed we see the figure by one of the methods listed.

 

I can kinda picture this being an Air Attack Optimus Primal or Megabolt Megatron sorta thing.

 

The attitudes of certain fans when they can't get their own way are completely embarrassing.

I wonder what Hasbro workers truly think when they read through some of the ignorant crap spouted online.

 

Here's your Titanium Unicron:


Hi, I'm Unicron. For a time I considered sparing your Matchbox cars.

Honestly, an ultra-sized titanium Unicron?? If none of the other titaniums could stand up straight, how do you figure that one will?

The rest of your post, likewise, made no sense.

 

QFT! And a very mature way to see our relationship with Hasbro.

 

Thanks for the info.

Those look amazing. *adds to wishlist*

Thanks for the info PrimulArchangel. For the time being, i think its safe to hold onto hope of Animated Arcee being released. I would how ever prefer her not to be released under the Universe line, as it MAY mean we wont see a Classics Style Arcee.

I too was hoping to get Arcee before the new movie line was released.




While I agree that this isnt entirely Hasbro's fault, it would have been nice for them to communicate to us that it is delayed (so far as we can tell), even it they tack on unforseen circumstances as their reason.


I agree that by doing nothing, nothing with change or happen, but by taking action we are not necassaryly throwing our arms out in protest, just that we need to be seen as having seen what is or isnt happening with this.

 

Leave their fetishes out of this. Your time in "The Fandom" is irrelevant, if you are being unrealistic and dickish, then you just are.
