If there are Transtech prototypes, shouldn't Botcon be allowed to produce them if Hasbro isn't going to?

I knew at some point there would be something that would make me want to join the TFCC, & this is it. I had always been curious as to what Transtech really could've been, & this might be the thing where I find out. We'll see....

The transtechs were ugly, like the Beast Machines Maximals. :/

I hate Transtech designs.

But if the whole concept is going to get people all kinds of pissy over the Club membership...I'll be 100% for it.



(I can not for the life of me, understand why Transtech is popular. Especially considering that most people HATE Beast Machines designs and HATE futuristic alt modes. Whatever.)

Because, as far as I understand, they never produced the actual full scale production molds for the Transtech line.

On the other hand Beast Machines had a terrible conclusion, so maybe these comics(I'll just buy on Ebay or Amazon) will better the story even through it isn't a direct connection.

Comics are OK but I'd rather have the Transtech figures. They look awesome.

Yeah, that's a real prototype.

but if your talking about the first optimus in that picture, then that toy was released. You can see the gallery here on cybertron.

As for the bottom one on that page. That isn't Optimus Primal. It's meant to actually be Optimus Prime.

I honestly don't get what fans see in those stupid looking Transtech designs. They were just dumb looking sketches that would make Pat Lee's lame ass art look Da Vinchi.

Oh my, well at least we know they were seriously thinking about toys back then.

Haha yeah I know that's primal, i own him. I was just saying I thought it was interesting how they modeled Optimue Prime compared to Optimus Primal (BM), they are similar in the arms, etc, even the weapon capabilities.
