Hasbro pretty much always announces new products are BotCon. What toys are you hoping we'll be learning about this year? I'm hoping that we'll see toys of Soundwave, Mirage, Wheeljack, and the remaining Dreads, as well as a deluxe Leadfoot and a Leader Megatron. New Generations figures would be awesome as well, but I wouldn't count on it.

I'd settle for an announcement that they're somehow going to actually get Windcharger and Rumble into mass retail in America.

Well since were HOPING here Instead of Guessing what we'll see.

I second a 10th anniversary Rid toy line. but I want newer molds for a few characters/toys. like new voyager sized toys for optimus & ultra magnus. a leader sized Rid 6 changer megatron,that later get repainted & remolded into sixshot.

voyager sized new molds for all the Japanese exclusive TF high ranking character toys. like deathsauras,victoryleo,starsabre. 2 voyager alt modes that combine to form a leader sized overlord. voyager sized diatulas.

I'd like some either way confirmation on the Alt-heads revealed via the Generations and RTS instruction sheets.

That and their plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Minicons next year.

Just breath some life into the rumour that Generations/Classics are NOT dead for the next two years and pretty much ANYTHING from that will be ok.....plus sell that Rumble/Frenzy outside of the far-East, I dare them.

I THIRD this request.

my guess is they won't, they'll repaint the toy into some ugly non-wanted fan color scheme.

my guess is we won't even get the mold repainted into Stepper/ricochet colors.

Personally since movie Jazz is using a corvette alt mode. it would be kinda cool to recolor the $29.99 HA Jazz toy in dark blue,give it a new head sculpt,add flames decals & call it Tracks.

Seconded,This is on my top list of reveals for botcon 2011.

I'm just hoping they weren't all cancelled. I really wanted that thunderwing repaint with new head sculpt,since i'll never be able to afford/own the japanese victory version.

According to what I've heard, Generations is supposed to continue through most of 2011, but I'd like confirmation on that too. I also hope that they release Rumble/Frenzy here. I was really looking forward to them.

Hasbro G1 Reissues. I know I'm not personally one for reissues (unless its something extra special), but they're really cool for a lot of collectors and I know that a lot of kids like them too.

G1 Reissue Sunstorm

The cartoon decos would have me all over those reissues like a rash (and nearly every other collector of G1, I'm sure). At best I think we'll get the MP Rodimus announcement.

Here's some dating advice from a pro: If you see any fine ladies walking around with red-tipped sticks, go for it. I guarantee they don't care what you look like. Trust me on this one.

DotM Leader Megatron - a really really really good one that makes up for previous Leader Megatron failures.

That is my most realistic hope.

It's not that realistic really, is it?

I know eHobby reissued them a ways back, and it's always been my theory that they would have eventually been in the TRU exclusive reissue series had it lasted longer. I know about Perceptor and the Insecticons, and Soundwave, but the initial run of TRUs' had SS, TC and SW, as well as Dirge who can't be abreviated by two letters. It always just made sense to me that either TRU or Encore would have reissued Thrust and Ramjet, even if Encore did a three pack of the Coneheads like they did the TC/SW two pack.
I'd go for Thrust and Ramjet, as my originals have seen better days.

I want more Classics or Generations or whatever we're supposed to call them. And the obligatory cry for Classics styled combiners.

I suppose I could go with this too.

I would really like to see them tackle a voyager, ultra, or leader size figure of one of the later Japanese/Non-US only releases (Overlord, Victory Saber, Dai Atlas), or a city/base former.

I would also like to put my two cents in for a Brawn scout size in the Generations line.

Generations Dinobots, and or another proper combiner.

More IDW inspired repaints, remolds, or brand new molds. Nemesis Prime (Nova) Prime is back, so we could once again have reason to see this fantastic design come to life. That and the Megatron Origins inspired Sentinel Prime would be fab.

An announcement by the club that they will be doing a monthly subscription process like Matty Collector, and the GIJOE CC are doing. Basically, would need to be redecos only, but they might also consider throwing in previous exclusive, exclusives to the club, like the customizing class figures.

But I'm not sure how that works with the other CCs because we always hear of these production cost problems, and planning issues.
