What you will hear at Botcon 2011

[UltraMagnus]

This is my thread about what people can expect to hear from Botcon 2011.

Lets add things to this thread and see what comes true.



1. It will be 80% about the movie toys and Hasbro will sell them as much as they can
2. Hall of fame awards go to Frank Welker and Megan Fox
3. Transformers Generations will continue with 5 seperate repaints of characters you already have.
- Hardhead (in warpath mould)
- Arcee (in Blurr mould)
- Brainstorm (in cyclonus mould)
- Gears (in Kup Mould)
- Tailgate (in Windcharger mould)
- Skids (in Ironhide/Ratchet mould)
- Sunstorm (to get an official release)
- Takara will do an EXCLUSIVE bluestreak release (which is actually blue)
4. There will be thousands of "ROTF bumblebees" still on sale
5. There will be hundreds of arguments about why Takara Tomy United is better than Generations (vice versa)
6. Generations will give us 2 new moulds
- 1 for Hoist/Trailbreaker
- 1 for Brawn/Outback
7. There will be at least 100 people who can each word from the new Transformers Prime cartoon.
8. Transformers Prime toys will be shown - with again a continious focus on 3 human characters who need a good hit over the head.

They are my predictions... yours?

What you will hear at Botcon 2011

"Is that RiD Railspike in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

[loophole]

alot of fanboy ranting over insignificant pointless stuff :P

[Golden Phoenix]

"Is that RiD Railspike in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

Makes me think of that Botcon pick up line thread we had ages ago

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

"Is that RiD Railspike in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

Being Botcon, there is a very good chance of it just being a RID Railspike...

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

"I can't believe my stupid boyfriend made me come to this stupid thing."

"What's that funky smell?"

"X has ruined Transformers FOREVER!"

[GoktimusPrime]

Being Botcon, there is a very good chance of it just being a RID Railspike...

It'd be like in one of the Naked Gun movies -- "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?" <pulls.out.gun.from.pocket>

A Seeker mould of some sort will be officially recoloured into Action Master Thundercracker. And everyone will rejoice.

I expect
* an announcement of a Classics version 4 (with Trailbreaker/Blitzwing/Nightbeat)
* praise for the upcoming DOTM film from Hasbro, telling us how much we'll like it
* people unhappy that Animated/G2/Shattered Glass figures are the exclusives instead of Classics
* dislike for the new kids based Transformers cartoon ("These toys are not for kids")
* at least one incredibly picky comment in the comics panel
* questions about the IDW character models in the comics panel
* a guest apperance from a DOTM cast member

Oh yes, this will be heard many times!
