So that's 2 years in a row that we weren't allowed to take photos at BotCon so that SDCC gets all the extra publicity of first public broadcasting of images. If they prevent us again next year at BotCon, I'll certainly be disputing it.

Good to at least have pics of those future toy items out for the rest of you guys to drool over.

Cheetor doesn't look as good up close as I remembered it, which is a bit of a pity for the whole point of the Anniversary line (super cool new designs).

Inferno looks a little boring and too bricky, but something still makes me like it. (shrug)
Cosmos doesn't work for me though, and Beachcomber's arms and hands bug me.

I guess at least Hasbro have been listening to the fan complaints about Cliffjumper always being just a straight Bumblebee recolour in recent years.

Longarm and Shockwave look like the same toy, or something like Gen1 Punch/Counterpunch, but it is difficult to tell from the photos if they are supposed to be the one toy in two slides, or two different toys from the one mould.

Shadowblade Megatron is another disappointingly pointless recolour for making money of the same large size mould.
