Well, we're nearing that point in time pretty shortly.

Just need the FOC Wreckers to come out to end the FOC figures, and then we can move into the IDW toys.

The Wreckers aren't even released yet? Wow.

Could have sworn that the Thrilling 30 toys were to be released around the fall/winter, not late spring/early summer.

The language used at Toy Fair insinuated that it would be the typical summer to early fall release (July to September). Right after Toy Fair, BigBadToyStore.com posted pre-orders for the first waves of the 30th anniversary figures with an April release date.

Sigh. Although it seems that a lot of the signatures so far are from outside the US, for one reason or another.

wow? really? there's an "outside the US"? and people there like Transfomers?

(we kept the damned line alive whilst Merucah's buying habits migrated to...something else. I'm not even bothered what.)



I'd have no problem with a "gender" option on the poll. An "accent" one would be nice too. If only to get a Yorkshire sounding TF.

I want a THICK Scottish or a Liverpool accent. Those haven't really been done, Plus the Scottish would be perfect for all the Scotty fans from Star Trek.

Every single inhabitant of the planet Gigantion all had Scottish accents in the Cybertron cartoon, which was indeed done as a tribute to Scotty.

That's a good question. I can't recall any atm (mind's exhausted from a long day's work), but there might have been.

Highbrow's the only one coming to mind right now, but his was more English than Scottish...

IMPORTANT BULLETIN! HASBRO'S "TRANSFORMERS FAN BUILT BOT" POLL ENTERS CRUCIAL FINAL PHASE
Fans Helped Design a New Transformers Character…Now They Must Help Name It and More!

The first round of voting is complete in the Fan Built Bot poll, which for the first time in history allows fans of the Hasbro, Inc. TRANSFORMERS brand to help create a new TRANSFORMERS character that will be forever added to the TRANSFORMERS world. In anticipation of the TRANSFORMERS’ brand 30th anniversary in 2014, the “Fan Built Bot” Poll now enters its second and final voting phase, allowing fans to select the Fan Built TRANSFORMERS character's name, gender, origin and specialty!

Hasbro's designers are busy reviewing the fan choices from the first phase of the poll and designing the visual look of the new TRANSFORMERS character that will be introduced into the brand's rich lore, and will be produced as an action figure in next year's "TRANSFORMERS Thrilling 30" anniversary line. Voting on the four new questions begins today at TRANSFORMERS.COM/vote, and fans are encouraged to vote every day until this round of polling closes on May 17th.

The results of both rounds of the poll will be announced by Hasbro at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, as part of the official kick-off to Hasbro’s TRANSFORMERS “Thrilling 30” anniversary celebration. While results of the first round of voting are a tightly held secret, a careful reading of Round 2's questions may provide some hints. "We're not prepared to say which alt-mode won the polling in round one," said Jay Duke, vice president of the TRANSFORMERS brand at Hasbro. “But a close reading of the name choices may provide a hint at what we’re designing. Stay tuned to find out more!"
