So, it's that time of year again and BotCon will soon be kicking off in the States.
My question to you all is: What news would you like to hear coming from it?
Personally, I'd love to hear an announcement of a continuation of the Generations line and of more Beast Wars-inspired figures in it.
- Yes to Generations with a couple more Beast Wars figures
- WIP sketches of a titan decepticon.
- A display of that g1 leader tank megatron
- A release of the BW megatron head on FoC grimlock
- More new armada decepticons to go with the new Starscream.
- Metrotitan release
- FP to hand back their license
I'm happy for more Generations EXCEPT Beast Wars.;) hopefully another combiner?
I'd like the Kreons to continue with more homages from lines other than G1.
Generations needs to continue after the AoE lines are gone, again, lots of variety and upgrades for other toys that really need it.
More Generations, specifically Chromia to go with Windblade.
Masterpiece Sunstreaker. I don't care if it's just Wheeljack with different body panels, Sunstreaker just needs to happen ever since Sideswipe.
A bold new merger with 3rd party companies. They have some really nice ideas and know which classic characters have been neglected. It'd be nice to see what they can do with Hasbro/Takara Tomy's financial backing.
I doubt it will happen, but I'd love to hear that the Dinobot range is so popular that they are going to rerelease G1 Dinobot toys and a new Titan sized WFC Trypticon.
And no more Optimus, Bumblebee, Prowl, Starscream, Streaks, Megatron, Soundwave etc. Give me some more lesser known/done characters.
Less Bumblebee and more Beast Wars will make me a happy man :)
Masterpiece Animated Lugnut. A man can dream...
More realistically, more Generations please, and maybe some more MP Decepticons. And a better-coloured Hasbro MP Ultra Magnus.
How about...
More IDW G1 Generations
A Titan Class Fort Max, Scorponok or Trypticon
A big G1 reissue for the 30th anniversary, maybe Scorponok or Trypticon
A preview of the 2015 RID toy line and cartoon (crosses fingers for Generations style toys)
Public firing of Michael Bay.:D
Big +1 on this idea :)Quote:

I'd also like to see some Generations Dinobots, all a minimum of Voyager class, and a Western release of Masterpiece Ratbat without having to buy an MP Soundwave repaint. :cool:

More details about the new cartoon and its toyline.
MORE BEAST WARS!
G1 funko pops
Hero-mashers Jazz
Give Bumblebee a rest and make pointless Jazz repaints instead
Generations Elita-1
New writer and director team announced for TF5 & 6 - and they aren't terrible.
But then how will they fund Joecon? :pQuote:

But if we use this image as reference, which uses Mainframe's models, he need only be a Deluxe. In better news though, you can up your Scout Scorpion/Cobra Hybrid up to a Deluxe.Quote:

I agree with Hursti on the scorpions. One is bent-kneed, the other is Black Arachnia's height. That whole poster in that scale would be amazing though.
Voyager...Nope. Ultra or it's not good enough.Quote:

:p - I was trying to go for realistic expectations, like Verno, so figured the likelihood of 5 Ultras as being a little slim. :oQuote:

...again, realistic expectations :p, but my hand SHOULD be slapped for such an omittance. :(Quote:

Man what an amazing announcement that'd be... Hell I'd settle for a decent Leader class figure. :D
@Verno: No way man :cool:, I'm not moving on Scorponok *High-Fives Deonasis* but I will in Quickstrike's case :) - wouldn't that mean we'd have to bump up Airazor too though? *Rubs chin*
Pfft, realism...you'll never get Titan-class IDW Thunderwing with THAT kind of attitude.:pDon't tell HTT, but so would I, truth be told...Quote:

Let's just cross our fingers for an announcement first. We can discuss his size class after that :pQuote:

A Titan class Trypticon. That walks. :D Make my year Hasbro. Or a reissue Trypticon. That would be just as good. Trypticon all the way. Year of the Dinos, all the godzilla movie hype. Great opportunity.
