    Default How would you like to see HasTak commemorate the 30th anniversary of Transformers?

    Your suggestions/wishes for what you'd like to see.

    I just voted on that fan bot thingie, but I'd really like to see HasTak have a competition where fans can submit character/toy designs, then build a toy based off the winning entries! Takara did this back in 1999 with Beast Wars Neo -- the winning designs became Mach Kick, Archadis and Bazooka. In 1998 Takara held a character design contest where the winning design was used as a character in the Beast Wars II manga (the winner was Star Upper who also made a brief appearance in the Beast Wars Neo cartoon). They could run a similar competition for a character to appear in the IDW comics or other canonical material (like say an unlockable character in a game).

    HasTak could also offer up some fully chromed prize TF toys, similar to the ones we see as Lucky Draw Prizes. But in this case the prize would be awarded on merit, and not random luck!

    About 8 months ago I would have said an Encore release of Fortress Maximus. Now that they've done that, I got nothing. I'm a happy little camper

    2 non-toy ideas: (perish the thought!)

    *A huge long documentary chronicalling the thirty year history of the Transformers through all it's iterations, interviews with toy designers, voice actors, writers, fans etc etc.

    *A GIANT book covering the 30 years of the Transformers that makes the likes of TF the Ultimate Guide and The TF Vault look like phamplets (frankly always wanted to do one myself)

    Some reissues or some history stuff would be nice, IMO.

    I have a poor appreciation of pre-Animated molds so reissues are wasted on me.

    BTTrev's idea of a commemorative book is nice but I'd prefer something coffe table book sized. Perhaps a series of these books divided up into eras.

    I think these are both brilliant ideas, I would be all over both of these

    Transformers Generations is still a brilliant book that covers all the toy aspects from G1 and G2. Maybe they could make a series of books like that - it's not too big. Each volume could cover something else; e.g. vol.1 toys, vol.2 cartoon, vol.3 comics etc.

    BTT, Gok, CBratron, if you 3 were here i'd shake all of your hands. Frankly, i want something that goes beyond Anniversary toys. Some detailed reading material is the kind of thing i'd be very interested in.

    A thirty-toy commemoration toyline with one reissue from every single year since 1984 plus one new toy.

    I just hope it's not like the MOTU 30th anniversary.
