Since Beast Wars got a 10th anniversary set in 2006, will any other series get one?
I'm trying to imagine a Beast Machines set (since that's going to be 10 years old next year or so), but it wouldn't exactly work if Hasbro wanted a deluxe-only line (as with BW), since the characters go everywhere in terms of size, and those that ARE deluxes are not accurate to the fiction (Optimus Primal, I'm looking at you), or just plain suck (according to every owner of BM Silverbolt, anyway).
In all honesty, I really don't think any other series have been memorable enough to warrant a birthday celebration of its own. It's pretty obvious G1 deserved to celebrate its 20th birthday, as well as BW blowing out its 10th birthday candles as it definitely brought new life to TFs as a whole.
I'm guessing Hasbro are gonna be lumping all their past lines into one for their 25th Birthday Party... (even though it could probably leave some lines out & no one would really miss them :D)
I hope they reissue RID Optimus Prime... with rubber tyres that are more durable... :o
..so in other words, a Super Fire Convoy reissue. :) :D
The quality on Fire Convoy is substantially better than RiD Prime. I got Fire Convoy in 2000 and RiD Prime in 2002. After a couple of months the tyres on my RiD Prime had split yet the tyres on my Fire Convoy, to this day, are in tact. The paints are also nicer too - Fire Convoy has metallic red and a darker metallic grey on the ladder whereas RID Prime is flat.
i jokingly suggested a BM's 10th anniversary ages ago
i vould luv to see a 10th anniversary Botanica toy, maybe packaged like Transmutate.
I'd like RiD too. Not too thrilled about the concept of Beast Machines. I'd probably buy a few molds like Jetstorm but other than, not very likely.
I'd like Cybertron too b/c it's one of my favourite lines but that'd be pretty damn stupid of me to entertain given that the line ended up relatively recently.
What I'd love would be all the first year Beast War figures getting re-done. We need a better Rhinox! We do, we do!
I would love them to release multi-character boxsets. :)Quote:

I just realised this year would have been the 25th Anniversary of Gobots... :p
I was looking at the 25 anniversary GI Joe toys yesterday and I would love to see new toys in replica (and shiny) 1984 style packaging.
(Which I realise is what Encore does but you know, in English... :eek: )
I agree w/ Pulse - we're unlikely to see any reissues of BM due to its lack of popularity. This year is the 15th Anniversary of G2, yet I seriously doubt we'd see any anniversary line for it. :p
25 years = 1/4 centuryQuote:

If they know what's good for them, they won't celebrate that.Quote:

That's because you're "old school"... :)Quote:

The Micros were over simplistic and repetitive and design wise inferior to Minicons but Micros had a lot of personality and that is what I feel is lacking in Minicons.
Edit: I called them micromasters instead of minicons in the first sentence. I will now go and wash my mouth with soap.
beep beep beep beep :D - Armada CartoonQuote:

The beeps are actually censor noises to protect the ears of delicate children. :P
For such small robots, the minicons know way too many bad words.
...as opposed to the Omnicons who had Tourette's Syndrome in the Energon comics. :p
was lookin at my 10th anniversary Waspinator box
and it says collect all 6 wave 1 characters.
Was there a wave 2 in the 10th anni. line? The leaders?
Well I still prefer my 20th Anniversary "Fatimus" Convoy over my 20 Anniversary Optimus Prime!
And now that I Hold a full MP-04, 20-OP just falls flat.
Are you from the future?Quote:
