Consider it another Armada Thundercracker, where the toy is Thundercracker, complete with new bio, but on the show he's just Starscream upgraded. Obviously you're free to consider the toy whatever you want if/when you buy it.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Megatronus is the Fallen and is NOT Megatron at all.

The Pokedex style thing! where he searches for Transformers as it flickers through hundreds of silouetted figures until he finds the one the team have came across. Well pity this feature isn't an app for Android or iPhone, as it would be pretty neat, & it would come with all the sound fx & music(used during those computer search scenes). I know the Android videogame has something like it....when you scan those symbols on the toys, but I would still like to see a sort of Transformersdex(like the pokemon one) app on Google Market

Emerje wrote:Madeus Prime wrote:Okay, other then that new Megatronus and some more of the tiny titan things, have we actually seen anything new for RID at botcon? I am really, really surprised Hasbro "revealed" about 90% of what we already have seen (G1 deco Grimlock? Didn't we first see that last month?). The minicons? Already debuted at toyfair I believe. This year's botcon reveals outside of the CW line has been way below par.
You can thank BotCon being so close to SDCC these days for that. When they hold Botcon in early spring (April) or later summer (September) we seem to get more out of it. The last three BotCon's have been just a couple weeks before SDCC (July 8-12) which means Hasbro has to spread stuff out more between the two cons. April is really the best time for BotCon since it's far enough from Toy Fair in February and SDCC to show some good stuff, though September is also nice since it fills the long void from SDCC to Toy Fair (since they don't show very much at NYCC).
I'm guessing that at SDCC we'll be seeing the Titan Wars stuff they teased us with at BotCon. Who knows, maybe they'll even have something to say about MP Optimus Primal since that's such an American Transformers character.

Shockwave7 wrote:The Transformers Prime show started out with solid story telling. But it ended disjointed and confused. A confusion that was only amplified by that 'beast hunters' DVD movie, and now prolonged by the RiD show.
In the BH movie, Megatron(us) was rebuilt by Unicron, and at the end of the show, he pretty much just gave up, saying he'd 'experienced being dominated and wanted nothing to do with it anymore'. Then he just flew off into space, effectively abandoning the Decepticons.
So what has he been doing all that time?
Did he just fly around the galaxy, 'thinking about what he'd done', like a child being told by his parents to sit in the corner? And now that he's had a good long think - what? He's come back to start dominating again? Thinking about how bad dominating people is made him realize that he just wasn't doing it right or something?
They never really said what happened to Starscream,
or Predaking, or the Predacons.
And now suddenly Megatron(us) has flip-flopped yet again on his feelings about whether or not it's good to be 'dominating' others?
Save us, not from Decepticons, but from sloppy writing.
Well at the least, I hope they throw in some scenes where the other Decepticons tell Megatron(us) to take a hike. After all, he abandoned them and ditched them in a time of great need and left them to be 'dominated' by the Autobots. Steeljaw should be given a bang-up speech where he lets Megatron(us) have it for abandoning them in their hour of greatest need. Some 'leader' he turned out to be in this mythos. That is, if he even IS the same Megatron(us) from those Prime episodes. The text blurb seemed to indicate that it is, but who knows....

Nor have the predacons been mentioned since the TV movie
Same with Shockwave: we have no idea what happened.

william-james88 wrote:And Emerje, is there a precedent for Hasbro covering a Takara release at a show before? Because I dont think there has ever been a year where both Hasbro and Taara released the same MP simultaneously though I may be wrong. Also, Optimus Primal is just as important in Japan as he is in the US. The Optimus Prime character himself was first introduced in the US and they are both as much American Transformer Characters, so I dont know why Primal is any different.
