Hasbro Transformers Brand Team panel ... lots of new product reveals!!!

At this point, I am underwhelmed...

Voyager Soundwave... with his casette-bots as data disks...

Voyager Soundwave sounds seriously nice, looking forward to see how he turns out, also looking forward to MP 2.0 Prime's American price, hopefully not too much.
Never heard of this Thundetron dude, but that's one funky name, Thundertron.

I might just get that Ultra Magnus repaint if its done right.
Sideswipe, Insecticon, Starscream, all bought I'm sure.
They need to make as many insecticons moulds as possible.

As nice as this Soundwave sounds on paper, making his kids turn into any sort of "data disks" means Transformers has finally blurred into COMPUTER WARRIORS. Oh well, I'd seen it as inevitable for years, so we were lucky it was forestalled so long that it comes after a working Device-Label Ravage USB drive.

Err, does anyone here remember what I'm talking about? I'm not even 100% sure that's the right name, their franchise has been dead a good 25 years.

Not thrilled about these reveals overall, but I don't feel like Hasbro's dropped the ball either.

Any idea how much that Bruticus set will cost? I mean at the convention, not on the secondary market.

I am actually going to SDCC for my second year in a row. Would be cool to pick that up..as long as I'd be able to get it in the plane home and everything.

Photos were not allowed during the panel, but Hasbro might show some of them in the display cases later. Fingers crossed for MP Prime!

Thrilled about a local release of MP-10, just saved me from picking up Takara version. Seems all the accessories will be included as well.

Why was Hasbro coy when asked about Dinobots being released to promote/expand FoC? At least with a Grimlock figure, thought that was already confirmed back in Feb? Now, the other 4 might be difficult to get the green light for... = (

Finally, that voyager Soundwave is is an upscaled WFC, but some tweaks (mainly the chest opening to fit up to 3 data discs). New Blaster, anyone?

2013? Hmm. Sounds like the line's being given some time to run, which is a good sign, at least. Doesn't mean we'll see everything we want, but could.
Just want the vehicles, really.

O_o Is Hasbro going out of their way to get lynched? Exclusives on the best colors and a FE mold?! Are they insane? ...or just cruel? Now, I'm convinced, just cruel.
