No, seriously, I love all of Jim Sorenson's work, and I hope Hasbro won't use this opportunity to undo any of it. Just making one teeny exception for a story written without their permission over a decade ago to provide yet another official link between Marvel continuity and Beast Wars won't lead to a slippery slope. Not even if it leads to an official reprint. Pleeeeeease?
(Is there still a PDF of Alignment floating around out there somewhere? I only know of the one that was stored on the late, great, Megaupload)
Oh, maybe VP will give us an in-continuity (cuz we know what happened in the real world) explanation of what destroyed the Dreamwave universes! Or does that already exist?

Was there some announcement that Recordicons would be ending soon?
Also, this isn't back cover stuff. This is like the Tornado Facebook from last year that contained text stories leading up to that year's BotCon comic. These three will likely do the same for this year's comic.

Re: Sneak Peek - BotCon 2015 Packrat Comic Strip 'Collections'
Posted by Sabrblade Thu May 14, 2015 10:50 am
Okay, that can't be the Beast Wars cartoon proper since Sentinel was taken by the Predacons and never installed in the Maximals' seasons 3 base. He would have then been destroyed by Tigerhawk when Tigerhawk blew up the Predacon base. So this has to be another alternate version of it.Va'al wrote:Via the official BotCon Twitter account, we get another preview at some of their comics fiction for this year's Cybertron Most Wanted cast of characters - specifically, the page shows a little insight into the role and past of the Thief, Packrat (with art, writing and everything else by Jesse Wittenrich). Check out the mirrored image from Collections below, and browse our very own Seibertron.com gallery of the toy right here!
Wow, first we get more entries of this in the Complete AllSpark Almanac book, and now a full fledged Facebook page.

There is nothing that says anything about an SG Unicron.

The third and final page will be up on Monday - https://twitter.com/BotCon/status/599293210238656512
Pete Sinclair has chimed in on the nature of this mini-comic:
The 'Collections' one shot takes place at some point after the Beast Wars. We haven't even defined what Universe this is from. One thing that seems to be the case, as you all know, is Beast Wars exists in many different timelines. This may be another timeline that has similar traits to the G1 toon continuity, Wings continuity or whatever other ones that are floating out there and contains Beast Wars but also contains one of these little stories that are specific to THAT timeline.
And Jesse Wittenrich followed up with:
Yup. And a significant amount of time after the Beast Wars as well. The fighting took place across the entire planet, spreading parts and pieces everywhere. Including the bottom of an ocean *looks at Depth Charge's fin and Rampage's claw*. Packrat has spent a LONG time on his collection; he's picked up everything, not just the pile we see in one panel.

I could actually see that considering they will have the Combaticon/Aerialbot molds to work with. I hope they do, that way I can mash my 2 FP Bruticus sets together into Energon Bruticus Maximus. Right now I'm using the old one as Nexus Prime.

You just posted in something you probably didn't want to.

And what ever happened to the infamous thread merging? I would think everything Botcon 2015 would and should be on one thread. Its not like theres that much of it. And thats the problem. Their marketing strategy is dumb. And im loving all these leaked figures from China. They should take the wake up call seriously and just show off the goods.

This is in the Cartoon and Comics Forum. And this isn't strictly a BotCon 2015 thread either. I'm the one who created this thread, and did so to let it be a general nexus of discussion for all BotCon and TCC related fiction, past and present, as stated on Page 1 of this thread.Rated X wrote:And what ever happened to the infamous thread merging? I would think everything Botcon 2015 would and should be on one thread.
And even regardless of that, your post about toys was off topic for the news story you commented on anyway, as the news was about a comic page that had nothing to do with the toys you mentioned.
So please, if you wish to discuss those toys, take it back to the BotCon 2015 Transformers Exclusives Toy Reveals thread and leave it there.
