Transformer toys - Hopes & wants for 2012

[Doubledealer]

I regret nothing!

I was simply curious, and completely get what you mean. And I'm the biggest (I cant think of the word right now, like ironically biased) when it comes to Transformers. And my love of the BW toys stems from my love of the BW characters.

Back on topic - 2012: year of the Dragon... Masterpiece TM2 Megatron!!!

Ah goodo. Out of interest, when you watched that Prime episode I recommended, did you watch any of the following episodes which show the Decepticon [spoiler]Breakdown[/spoiler]? I can imagine an awesome toy using his mold as a Botcon Rhinox, say if they did another Dawn of Future's Past type set. What do you think?

1) What single toy are you most looking forward to (that's already been confirmed eg. TFP Voyager Starscream)?
I'm with Hursti on this one, TFP Deluxe Soundwave all the way! I'm hopeful this guy will be a tall deluxe like TFA Lockdown, this will put him in scale with the others and negate the need for a Voyager class. There's really not much meat to this character so deluxe should be more than adequate, and I imagine that like TFA Soundwave, he'll come with Laserbeak (there's really no excuse for it not to, Laserbeak IS part of the character more than he's ever been).

2) What single toy are you praying comes out in 2012? Commander Class Classics Sharkticon. Later to be repainted into a battle damaged variant!

3) Are you excited about the Transformers Prime toys hitting Australia? I really enjoyed the latter half of the Transformers Prime show and am now extremely excited about the toys! I haven't seen any IRL but like Animated, they seem to do a great job of capturing their on-screen selves which is brilliant to see.

4) Are you interested in any of this years Botcon toys? Not so much the box set toys but I'm still excited to see the other exclusives. I was initially excited about [spoiler]Treadshot[/spoiler] as I thought he'd make a good stand in Nightbeat but after looking at my darker Chinese G1 Nightbeat, the blue doesn't even match up to him. I really hope Octopunch[/spoiler] turns out well as I love the G1 toy and I think the chosen mold could really work for him!

5) Do you think 2012 will be a good year for Transformers toys in general?
I'm pretty optimistic about Transformers toys in 2012. Can't wait to get my hands on the Prime toys and anything else is a bonus really!

6) Do you have any Transformer toy goals in 2012?
My sig reveals all!

A big chunky armored jeep thing? For sure!

I didn't like the construction-esk forms of the 2006 DOFP figures, especially Dinobot, and I don't think I'm alone there. When I get my own pre-BW comic published, I'll keep the mold in mind when Don Figueroa asks what I think Rhinox should look like
