I'll buy anything they got!
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

I'd love to see the Broadside Warbot, but I'm thinking the next release news will include Heartsmaster. I also think those rumored Stunticons/Thundercons are close to a teaser reveal at TFcon (but, I may be wrong). I will stunt my anticipation of news, but I look forward to the inevitable awesomesauce that is FansProject's return to the masses. Hail the Horde!

Wow.... I'm shocked by the amount of authority Hasbro demonstrated in response to this. :shock: If I were to say "No third party products at my convention," and they show up, I would've laid down the law, right then and there. But, if it were my convention, I would have allowed all third party products; after all, it was made by fans for fans.

Anyway, back to the subject;

Cyclops looks great! But, in regards to a Classics Shockwave, the size and probable amount of money just isn't worth it. FOC Shockwave (or Energon Shockblast if I can ever get my hands on him) will just do me fine. Arcee (or Chromia?) is just a work of art that can assume two forms and has poseability. The Thumper upgrade looks really cool, but the Hubcap one just doesn't buy me. Starscream looks impressive, however I'm waiting for an American release of MP Starscream Ver. 2. The Targetmasters look... okay? Weapons for Overlord, Skyfall (I'm thinking that's his name), and Metalhawk look impressive. Iron Army is what Hasbro should have done in the first place.

LONG LIVE CYBERTRON!!!!! :BOT: :CON: :KREMZEEK:

God I don't think I can resist that thing any longer. :sad:


I am feeling the same way; but will wait until the reviews.

Arcee looks amazing. And love the smiatars for HOS Starscream.

I kind of get the sense that Hasbro is caught between a rock and a hard place. And probably the people policing it are not the same ones that came up with the policy.

Quite frankly Botcon 2012 seemed dull until I saw the 3rd party pictures.

That MMC Air Screech on Skywarp colors will be awsome. The PE Arcee will need a DR Wuu custom head

I agree.

What is going on behind Starscream's head. Is the hood mistransformed or will it be pressed up against the back of his head?
