And honestly I can see 6 years back when FunPub took over the club and convention thinking about what they could do, and making the choice then and there to commit to the 5 year Nexus plan, but that means they have had 5 years to research what has Hasbro missed that the fans what, or notice how much people got behind the Shattered idea, and in the end what do they offer? Dion, freaking Dion on a mold that has more bad press than good, and bearing that it's the weaker of the two molds that fans know about.
I knew that I would get my hopes up if I had wasted time wondering what was coming, and I'm not surprised that a classics mold was used as I did expect that, but this is just fail, and again leads me to wonder is FunPub letting the TF side of things be run with fans in mind, or just pocketing the money, doing the bare minimum, and concentrating on the Joe side of things. I thought it was a bit silly when I found out their exclusive was a ARAH Big Lob, but that move sounds golden compared to this.
And to think they could of had a winner if they had done Shattered Soundwave in the Ironhide mold.

Okay, having read all the boards I see that there are those who REALLY dig Hot Shot as Dion, kind of dig him and don't dig him. fair enough... However, anyone who thinks we just pick things willy nilly are, well, WAY off the mark. We put a TON of thought into the whole process. There are several reasons we picked this mold and this character. First and foremost, this character is someone whom we can really explore. We have said all along that the Wings Universe is a "G1esque" cartoon continuity. Lots of similarities between this one and the toon Universe. However, we did not want to be constrained by all the back story that we have with the toon so now we can have a little more fun exploring his character as well as some others. But the Dion you saw on the cartoon IS the base for our Dion. They are both Dion for sure. Long story short, the 2010 story is going to be a wild ride and we look forward to bringing it to you.
It cracks me up that the Joe fans, when unhappy, accuse us of focusing on Tf's more than Joe. The fact is there are two teams at Fun Pub, one that works on the TF side and one that works on the Joe side and they both get all kinds of attention.
Finally, I left your last line in there, because, well, because trust me, we take in to consideration EVERY toy and the character possibilities...

Hi Pete!
Thanks for responding to thread, and I think it shows alot (positive) that you did. I, and I think everyone else here, really want to know at this point:
Will you be using the Hasbro mold, without the guns and shoulder changes, or the TakaraTomy version used in Henkei?
Also, can you throw us a tiny bone with a hint about the second purchasble figure?
