Hasbro had one of their largest display areas ever at BotCon 2007. Everything was on display from Robot Heroes to Real Gear to Masterpiece Starscream to Cyber Slammers and so much more! Click here to view Seibertron.com's gallery of Hasbro's displays.

I'm digging the movie robot heroes

News Credits: 665 · Mon Jul 02, 2007 11:02 am

Love those movie Robot Heroes, though Bonecrusher's face is a little weird. Brawl rocks though, the sculpting job on him is awesome!

Was that all there was? They didn't add anything on Sunday? They usually do...

Hot Rodimus was on display on Sunday.

Who's this guy?

Judging from the head (which is like Swindle's) I'll bet he's a Decpitcon. Remold the head and, imo, they can get buy with calling this guy Rodimus Prime.

Thats Payload. It looks like I'm gonna get me a little SS RH. Just look at Scorponok RH, it's adorable!

Was that a Leader Class Blackout in one of the pics? He was next to I think Robovision Prime.

That chick does NOT look like the Baroness. Not nearly hot enough.

I don't want much of this movie crap. It'll clog the shelves until the good stuff comes back.

That Soundwave Do the Robot shirt is priceless.

so they didn't display any of the last titaniums (wwi prowl?), and none of the other newest movie figures: nightwatch prime, recond barricade, and the sort?

That would be my question.

News Credits: 5 · Mon Jul 02, 2007 12:02 pm

if he is, he isn't next to robovision prime. i didn't see any pics that looked like a leader class blackout

News Credits: 665 · Mon Jul 02, 2007 12:14 pm

Boy, even when he's horribly mis-transformed Dropkick still kicks ass.

I think he's gonna be one of the un-sung heroes of the movie line.

There was no Leader Blackout when I saw the display yesterday at BotCon. You might have seen the Fast battlers Blackout.

The picture in question is DSC06560. On page 51-75 it would be picture 51. Blackout is on the bottom right hand corner he just looks huge or thats just a small prime.

News Credits: 3 · Mon Jul 02, 2007 1:34 pm

This is the picture in question, bottom right corner

Looking at it now, I think it's the Voyager Blackout most of us are familiar with. I've heard rumors of a Leader Blackout, which would be nice, though I'm not sure how true it is.

Theres a few movie toys in there I like the looks of, I may get all of the scout class repaints they look good.

Recon barricade is in there, He's painted as a state trooper now. I'm wondering if that and g1 jazz are potential ways to have them for future involvement.

Part Spoilerwe know jazz dies and barricade runs off in the movie, but if you look at the bio for g1 movie jazz it says that when they repair him he wanted a better paint job because the silver didnt suit him, so he chose the g1 style paint. Also baricade goes awol so maybe he paints himself like another cop car to remain incogneto for a little while until help comes.Highlight to see my theory

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jul 02, 2007 6:32 pm

I guess now i can go ahead and get ironhide. id been waiting to see if he was going to have a g1 repaint like the others but guess not.

Thats impossible, Spoiler
Jazz loses his spark and Ironhide and Rachet try to repair him but they can't.

Lol one of the toys Transforms into a game console.

Nothing is "impossible" thats why I said it was a way to have him for future involvement.

I don't know but he has been in past posts.

On a side note Hasbro is realy giving the lens head look a work out. I'm gonna have Megs not want his soldiers to have a sense of identity outside of serve him. Thus he removes his warriors face plates :idea:

untill they have the right to claim some sense of identity other than Megatron's rule.

Thats not to say he is not without other strangle holds though, this is just phsycological.

Rodimus is a good call for this guy, but don't say it to much or some lazy guy at Hasbro will get a promotion.

And the towtruck guy looks like Spawn :evil:

That figure is Payload.

I passionately hate the whole movie line, but I do like the supersize Barricade, Optimus Prime, and the repaints of Jazz, but the rest are pure doggy crap. I can't wait to get my hands on the new MP repaint of Starscream, that's gorgeous! Man, what a little color can do.

News Credits: 409 · Tue Jul 03, 2007 2:50 am

It looks like Starscream won't be getting his crown and cape anytime soon.

Interesting to see that Alternator Hotrod was for sale. I knew that mold wouldn't remain a SDCC exclusive for long.
