Astrotrain

All of those Megatron's that transform into tanks

MMC Carnifex Overlord

That MP 1986 Scourge that promises to be MP Seeker scale.

That Triple changer Megatron. That has a robot, tank and gun modes.

The status of BTS and their Nova Lord, Overlord.

Toy World Stealth bomber Megatron

Perfect Effect Leonidas, Lio Convoy

Well, hopefully some more focus on characters from Japanese G1 trilogy, like Liokaier/RoadCaesar/Landcross.

by **Rated X** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 1:18 am

I want to see:

Color test shots for Tatanian Saint (alpha trion)

Final test shots for mechaform sky guardian (classics skyfire)

A tank megatron painted in proper G2 colors instead of trying to emulate G1 megatron (no chrome tanks)

MMC or maketoys Abominus that scales with other classics combiners.

And somebody please make a damn overlord so this guy will stop reminding us on every other MMC thread...

Wasn't there news of a 3rd party Skylynx a ways back? I'd like to hear more on that.

That Alpha Trion was pretty cool and I'd like to know if that's going anywhere.

I'd be great if Toyworld revealed their fully combined Dinobots ... or at least some concept are of more of them.

The thread is more about news on products that you'd like to see as opposed to products we'd just like to see happen. Unless there's a new Classics style Magnus I'm not aware of.

Ohh in that case I would like to see the Seacons too. definitely heard something about Seacons somewhere.

Seacons.

That is all.

News Credits: 4 · by **Tsutsukakushi** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:28 pm

Don't want to see MMC do any more combiners. Feral Rex took them over 18 months to create and release.

Rather see other faster 3rd party combiners focus on combiners like TFC, MT and UT.

Would prefer MMC, Focus more on making non teams Singular bigger figures.

The MMC Scale for Feral Rex was acceptable as the original 1986 toys were Mega-Voyager scale. Don't need the MMC Seacons or MMC Terrorcons to be all Voyagers-Ultra toy scale.

My preferred HasTak or 3rd party toy scale for all USA 1980's combiners are the limbs-bots to be basics or deluxes. While the team leader core bots are deluxes or voyagers.

Hoping for the following:
-more of those Dark Azaleas are for sale at TFCon and as PSX exclusives (I don't want to pay scalper prices)
-painted protos of FansToy dinobot after Swoop
-the glorious return of HeadRobots (I'm still waiting for that ROTF Mindwipe upgrade kit, and yes I know their latest product is that piecemeal kit for Scorponok)
-MakeToys showing off more from their MechaManga series of characters; ie - affordable mini-bots as opposed to $400 combiner sets and citybots
-FansProject showing concepts/protos of their membership club exclusives
-Perfect Effect's version of Soundwave (been waiting years for this one)
-TFC's full set of Protectobots, inevitable "X of Ares" upgrade kit for their Predacons (not that I own any of these guys)
-ToyWorld's Ultra Magnus, SB Megatron, colored images of the remaining 3 Throttlebots, and maybe a Cliffjumper retool of Bii
-Warbotron showing full, final product of their Combaticons and accessories
-prices of "3rd Party" offerings being slashed :BANG_HEAD:

I'd like to hear more from Giga. I prefer their large scale Dinobots, but I'm getting worried they won't come to light, at least not beyond Snarl.

TFC's complete Protectobots
TFC's next combiner (even if just a concept pic)

I'd LOVE to know what MMC's next combiner will be.

More about the Maketoys citybots line. (Like I have room for that!)

I'll second that a Cliffjumper version of Bii would be excellent! I really like that little guy.

And for my long-shot, an announcement that the Warbotron line will get downsized versions that match TFC height.

You just reminded me... TFC's mini-Herc we saw earlier this year. I wonder if we'll get some updates.

I'm moderately interested in that.
I have acquired a lot of legends scale stuff and it would fit right in.

by **wilcosu35** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:23 am

i hope to see MMC's new stuff for after the arcee figures
Maketoys' Defensor
fansprojects' next headmasters and hopefully more stuff after that
more of the UT Ordin figures
Oh, and FT's Snarl and Sludge

Nothing. Too much stuff being put out and I worry that the market will not be able to sustain it all.

News Credits: 4 · by **Tsutsukakushi** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 9:38 pm

Hoping that Toy World reveals Eight inch toys for Apeface and Snapdragon.

News Credits: 33 · by **Genocide G2.0** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 4:20 am

FP Monstructor

Does anyone at TFcon have pics of reveals? I don't see too much point in speculating over something we'll know in a day or two.

Hear, hear. The market is saturated.

by **Rated X** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:24 am

I dont think the market is "saturated". I think people have options. Different takes on characters. Different price levels for different incomes. Some people might feel like everything shouldnt come out at once because they cant afford it all. But nobody is putting a gun to their head and forcing them to buy it all. The 3rd parties are businesses so you should expect them to compete for your money. Dont expect them to work in tandem to accommodate your financial limits. Its p2p (pay to play) I personally chose to trim my list of preorders for stuff that I decided I really didnt need or will catch on the inevitable clearance prices. Im sick of seeing stuff I paid top dollar for end up half price in 6 months. I also notice that 2nd runs with more accurate decos seem to be the norm. Gone are the days of sold out pre orders. Remember when you had to actually pre order or risk paying ebay prices on the products release date ? (FP Code, Steelcore) Those days are gone because 3rd parties got smarter and richer. We made them what they are today. Im happy you no longer have to be among the super elite fandom to purchase a figure due to limited stock from smaller companies. I support the walmartazation of this hobby.
