PulseCon 2021 October 22nd

[griffin]

Just announced for around Spring our time, is another PulseCon by Hasbro.
Last year PulseCon was created to fill the void left by Hasbro not attending SDCC to show off their new collector figures, and it was all online.
This year it is still likely to be a virtual event, as the first announcement made no mention of it being held anywhere like a regular convention.
(we saw how their HasCon convention died after one year, so maybe at some point in the future, the PulseCon could be their new live event)

PulseCon has been announced for October 22nd & 23rd, which should have a number of live panels of their different toylines, so now we just wait for their schedule of panels to see when they are revealing Transformers toys (and probably upcoming media).

The Hasbro Pulsecon virtual event is just days away (October 22nd - which is late Friday, early Saturday morning here), and Hasbro has announced that for Transformers, it will reveal the first wave of next year's Generations line... plus the two winners of the 2021 Hall of Fame vote, as well as officially revealing the "Unicron Galvatron" pack, which is said to have a translucent Kingdom Galvatron along with several micro figurines and three more spaceships to go with the ones that came with Unicron earlier this year.

I hope they've got some nice pictures of next year's toys, because that's about all that's left to reveal - is it all of next year's line that's been leaked via retailer listings, or just the first several (four?) waves?

The Unicron Galvatron already got reviewed last night on YouTube. So I hope they do have something to share before everything gets reviewed and leaked on YouTube.

Hope they reveal that the listing for studio series 29 sideswipe is just an error for studio series 78 sideswipe instead
becuase i ordered from bulletproof villian here
https://www.bulletproofvillain.com.a...luxe-Sideswipe

When i asked they said they are expecting it to turn out to be studio series 78 as the release date timing matches ss78’s release (november 2021) window and also said they are unlikely to reissue a figure 3yrs after its original release

Heres entertainment earth waveb14 studio series deluxe for date reference
https://www.entertainmentearth.com/p...-case/hse0701r
Date its expected is next month to

So dose anyone know if they are reissuing ss29 as if it turns out that its not and can not get a refund i have to put up with 2 more ss29’s

Apparently the rock band Weezer will be making a guest appearance.

The full schedule of the 2-day event can be seen here at Hasbro Pulse.
It notes that it is only for fans in North America and the UK... so it might be geo-blocked to the rest of us, unless you have a VPN.

There are two Transformers panels, with the toy panel detailed a few posts up, and the Entertainment panel details quoted here...

Meanwhile, the American fansites have been showered with free toys again from Hasbro, with a promo box filled with 12 different Pulsecon exclusive toys... one of which is the Ravage 2-pack, so we have a lot more photos to look at if you haven't seen it reviewed yet.
