    Default Prototype pics from Hasbro tour of Botcon '07

    I've been looking through Seibertron's pics from the Hasbro tour of Botcon '07 (http://74.53.137.200/events/gallery....ze=0&start=125) & I stumbled across these prototypes, of whom I'd completely forgotten about.

    A Jazz Porsche Alt (How freaking Cool!)

    & this...





    Does anyone have any idea what it's supposed to be?
    Judging by the pilot next to him, something GI Joe-related maybe?




    & this trailer-thing (of which I've got no idea about)...

    The jazz is not Classics as it has rubber wheels. He doesn't look very alt either when it comes to his design but its closer to being an Alt than anything else.

    I believe that may be a prototype Alt Jazz that obviously wasn't given the final approval to go into production.

    Similar to that Volkswagen Beetle Bumblebee Alt that was knocked back, I can see the Porsche Merchandise people saying "Porsche zill not be azzociated with any war-themed media - No Gunz!!!" (it's a joke )

    Well it looks like he has been waiting there to be released for so long that he has begun to scratch his butt

    I think its meant to be Bruticus as the head is identical.

    When it comes to that brick Trailer, I have no idea since it doesn't look transformable.

    I think they are kitbashes. The trailer has parts from Energon Optimus Prime (stands, aerial, etc.) Note also the redeco RID Optimus Prime under the trailer.

    But wasn't the redeco RID Optimus meant to be released as Defensor... but didn't?

    Hrmmz. It's sad when things don't get to see the light of day

    Unhappy

    The top one is the prototype for BT Meister featuring Porsche Boxter. Neither Volkswagon or Porsche want to be affiliated with war machines (Porsche owns 18% of Volkswagon).

    I don't know who/what those other molds are.

    TAKARA truely baffles me sometimes... ok, most of the time. Why bring in Shioji Kawamori to "fix" up Masterpiece Starscream when his talents could have been better used to make a decent looking A-10 Transformer?! Even Jizaitoys made a better looking A-10 than Hastak.

    Yeah, like Tits Cosmos, Arcee, Shockwave and Prowl
    Which brings us to where we are today...
