1) What single toy are you most looking forward to (that's already been confirmed eg. TFP Voyager Starscream)?
I suppose that the Voyager starscream would be what i'm most looking forward to, if the deluxe engineering is as awesome as they say, how good is the Voyager mould going to be!!?
Also looking forward to the Deluxe Soundwave, the concept of a Predator as a well designed transformers toy is very exciting.

2) What single toy are you praying comes out in 2012?
DOTM leader Megatron I think, This character needs an earth mode leader toy to match the ROTF Prime.
I really like the idea of a re-issue Overlord too.


3) Are you excited about the Transformers Prime toys hitting Australia?
Hell Yes. I love the show, and I'm enjoying the aesthetic. I really hope we get the First edition released here as I want to support these guys being released in australia. If they don't turn up here, I'll be putting in a bbts order post haste.


4) Are you interested in any of this years Botcon toys?
Sort of, I was initially a bit nonplussed but the box set is growing on me and so are the other rumoured exclusives. the thought of the Soundwave having the issues of ironhide and ratchet fixed is very interesting and the seperate headband sounds really interesting too. Overall while I'm not familiar with many of the characters especially the pretender homages, I like most of the moulds they are using a lot.
I also think this bodes well for future Botcon sets in that we finally have no Unicron Trilogy toys in this years set at all, all classics/ish which makes me think the next few years worth of Botcon toys are going to at least be fantastic moulds.

5) Do you think 2012 will be a good year for Transformers toys in general?

I think so, especially with the Prime toys coming out, it's a line with great potential, in all size classes, I just hope it lives up to that potential.
As for the Follow up movie trilogy toys, hoepfully we see some more standouts that we may not have heard of yet, especially in the larger Human alliance scale.


6) Do you have any Transformer toy goals in 2012? [/B]

several:
As I've mentioned I have a huge backlog of unopened toys:

1) Gradually open up all of my remaining animated Transformers and put them on display. Part of this will be to start a review blog. something I've never done but I think I'm in a fairly unique position to do this with the animated line since more than 80 % of my figures are still MISB.

2) Get hold of some transformers Prime toys

3) set up a bit of a photo studio/lightbox in the garage and do some transformers photography. this ties in with my review plans. I also plan to use this space as s workshop, hopefully finally doing a couple Transformers customs.

4)re-populate my display cabinet since moving.

5) finish my distance learning course and finally get hold of my set aside till I finish it Transformers.

6) Spend some time with transformers I have already opened up, appreciate what I already have.
