2017 SDCC Transformer Sets

[UltraMarginal]

These are the toy animals you see on dedicated stands in toy shops.

I wouldn't know where else to look

I want that GI Joe Roadblock... maybe the Visionaries figure as well.
Everything else, especially Jetfire, I couldn't care less about.
I just feel that Jetfire's a poor choice for this set... kinda dampens the hype for me...

Thanks UltraMarginal there are quite a few dogs to choose from but I think the dog from "Feeding on the farm" set will be perfect. Gotta track down a store that has them now.

I'd like to see how it looks when you get one. I'm short a Thundercracker as well so I'll probably not have either in the long run.

So they wanted a large transformer mold. I think Jetfire is more iconic than Thundercracker to non-transformers fans. So why pick him over Soundwave? Well Jetfire just looks 80s, he even looks a bit Robotech for people even more out of the loop. Plus SDCC has had JF previously as if that means anything.

I think JF was a good SDCC choice, just not for the TF collectors (but his ears are different) who have him already.

Because "diversity" - I'm honestly glad to see that Dwayne McDuffie isn't alive to see what his brilliant legacy of Milestone Comics has turned into with the blatant diversity bending of characters of the sake of it in the comics industry. It disrespects franchises and it sends a patronising message that the only way <x minority> can have meaningful and profound characters inspiring and representing them is by hijacking existing characters. It honestly cheapens everyone.

Anyway, back on topic, the only figures that possibly interest me there are Leoric, ROM and Dire Wraith.

I was thinking about doing that also. But given how quick many of the SDCC items from previous years go down in price on ebay I'm going to wait and see what happens. Got the TR Brainstorm, SP and Windblade set for under $100AUD last year.
