SDCC news and toy reveals

[Trent]

Bringing back targetmasters is cool. And Starscream looks great except for his face. He looks like he's been hitting the HGH.

The minicon combiner has my interest but does it look to anyone else like the helicopter one is wearing knee high boots?

Oh My

Oooh Mmmmyyyyy

Oh my indeed.

Some of that stuff is looking pretty sharp. Nice to see the Double targetmasters making an appearance. Bring on Needlenose.
Armada Starscream? Yes please. But no Minicon representation? Looks like the blasters will protrude out from his shoulders in an ungainly way. I approve.
G1 Sharpnel. Yes. reflector with a camera mode. NICE.

Damn, most of these are good. Not so sure about Whirl though.

Shame that SDCC totally eclipses Botcon for Transformers goodies though. Botcon almost looks fairly forgetful this year, and last year was the same as well.

SDCC looks like its more about toys and pop culture than comics

If I worked for FunPub (it'd be a much better club ;p) I would have a little chat with hasbro about being stuffed like this.

^Yeah the helicoptor gives me a Airacnid vibe and the tank minicon just looks like a butthead.

For sure. nice to see the Minicon insignia actually being used again, but that combined mode is bleaurgh

Love the Geisha-themed fan-built-bot! SHe looks like can partner up with Drift. The designer team seemed to have had fun with the creative process as well.

Behold! - Fan-Built Bot: Wingblade

I'm hearing G1 Perceptor's voice when I look at that design. The fembot reminds of the G1 S3 episode where Perceptor's insignia gets torn off and is used on a doll that takes his personality as well.

Whirl, Scoop, Shrapnel, & Tailgate are must haves for me!

Always really liked Scoop. Much better looking toy than the other two Autobot double targetmasters. Wish they had kept him in the Wreckers team in IDW. And Tailgate looks a lot like his IDW appreance, just like Swerve & Skids so thats great!

I actually like the face from the cartoon more than the illustration.

They were planning on making that a toy Fan Built Bot a toy didn't they?

I suspect they'll spend all the budget on the make up.

Loving Sharpshot/Shrapnel. I think he could scale in classics well with some imagination, hopefully being close enough to scout class to fit.

Might get some multiples of him and he comes with an armybuilder Targetmaster too, which is good.

To be produced for the 30th anniversary
