What you will hear at Botcon 2011

[Hursticon]

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

They will then have Overrun stickers placed on their foreheads.
Go Hasbro!

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?

Hall of Fame: Megan Fox?

All those remoulds/figs sound so sweet... man they better be true or it will be too cruel...

Blue bluestreak will be
If they are doing this, better give us Artfire too.

RtS/Generations/United "car mold" Arcee figure will be cancelled for generations et al line, so as not to be "confusing" buyers (yeah coz were stupid Hasbro) the character with Transformers Prime "bike" Arcee. After all it's Hasbro's time honored tradition and it would sacrilege to do a proper Arcee.

More figure will be squeezed into the generations/RtS or whatevatheywannacall fillerline which will take names from Actionmaster characters.

Hasbro seem to think making a proper Arcee homage is like dividing by zero

Yes, please! I still want them to make Treadshot from Warpath.

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
