That is all from me, good night.


[shockblast2: I didn't really react, actually. Should I?]

Well, yes. I thought you were AB's biggest fan?? I figured you would have said SOMETHING. Not malicious, but the proverbial middle finger of some sort at least.

My question was what was your first reaction when you saw it? Did you laugh? Get pissed? What?

Shrugged. Laters gonna late.

I hope not, please keep all of this out of the comics!

Yeah because the last fan built character wasn't in the comics.

Delta Magnus wrote:This is all very well and good but WHERE ARE THE SEACONS

HasTak said the Combiners Wars toy line is a Two maybe Three years toy line. Guessing the CW Seacons are coming last.

Thinking if HasTak does CW Abonimus, Predaking and Seacons. That some of these toys CW Beast bots will be reurposed back and forth.

Edit and forget it.

So you don't have an actual serious matter to address?

Don't blame the fans, it's not like the votes actually count.

Yeah don't blame the fans



Blame the kids and other people who are voting.






So sick of people saying that the voting is rigged what does Hasbro get out of that?




Not to mention it would be wasting the time and money that people would have put towards the promotions and the app and the voting thing itself.

What does Hasbro get out of it? It generates interest in their product. It lets people feel like they have a say. It lets people feel good about themselves.

It's win-win for Hasbro.

Though that would give the designers more work to do then just letting the public do their work for them which probably would be the most cost effective option. I mean If it were revealed that hasbro had ignored votes then surely they would be liable.

What makes you so sure the voting is rigged?

That's a load bull Hasbro might have done questionable things in the past but I'm pretty sure that Hasbro is not stupid enough to pull a move like that.




Where's your proof it's rigged anyways?



We get a choice to vote for the choices/options that Hasbro gave us to make a new figure.

Limited outcomes isn't the same as outright rigging it.

Going to have to agree with Burn here.

Think this is all just a fun activity. For fans to have fun and make them feel they are special and contributing to the brand.

It is not hard to rig votes or pretend to count them. especially when no government or state agency is assigned to count them or monitor it.

Don't think Hasbro will ever put the voting in fans hands. When they know their are some fans out their that abuse the voting system. By over voting hundreds or Thousands of times. In desperate attempts to get what they want and override other fans votes.

Think the reason why this latest voting polls was limited to just downloadable apps. Think it was due to Hasbro knowing about certain fans abusing the voting system by over voting hundreds or thousands of times.

Yes that's true but they leave themselves open for people to call them out on it. All it would take is one designer to say "oh the fan built thing? Yeah we designed that years ago" then they land themselves in extremely hot water.

On the whole, I'm just going to call it a duck and be done with it, the simplest solution is often the right one. That being fans voted.

I like how I post an opinion and suddenly I have to justify it and provide evidence ... yet those decrying it don't have to do the same.

Yup Hasbro does decide what goes in the end but their giving us fans and other people who use the app say children the choice to vote for some options.





It's not like their giving us free reign on the combiner just the ability to vote on which selection of their own pre-decided choices regarding the limb types, name, ability, colors and gender.





(Please forgive me for my horrible English grammar is not my best subject)

And of course to be on topic Firestorm is the soon to be replacement for Afterburner on Computron based on the DragStrip mold.

If you think Groove looks bad now, wait until they put Afterburners stockier tires on that bad boy.......
