TFcon 2013 - 3rd Party Panel Slides And Showroom Floor Pics - Transformers News - TFW2005

 

Popcorn in hand, this is like my most anticipated event today, more than Apes that I am going to watch tonight.

 

Hoping for clarification on the G2 Stunticons from FP and if MakeToys will announce at least the intention for more IDW-inspired minibot two-packs.

 

Several of the newsies will be updating posts and the front page. Keep an eye so we all stay updated  

 

Me too. I'm hoping for a MT Tailgate, Cyclonus, or Rodimus

 

Yeah can't wait  

 

Hoping to hear a retail release of G2 Menasor / Intimidator and that Breakdown is in fact just a packaging exclusive as a 1 off...

Also hoping to hear announcements of

Liokaiser and Abominus

 

Bludgeon and Yoketron eh? Color me interested

Keep the updates coming!

 

Can't wait to see some new Mech Ideas stuff... wink!

 

Also, I gotta say that the MMC Femmes look simply beautiful in person. They really knocked it out of the park.

 

Want Vos. WANT PICTURES!

 

I declare 2014 the year of bankruptcy.

 

 

FP Optimus better be compatible with the G3 trailer

ZOMG

 

Aw man I'm gonna get Strika.

Finally, MMC wins 3rd Parties.
