Yes, that's the funny joke.


I mean, we weren't even sure if Hasbro was going to attend SDCC for a while, then we only had a couple exclusives that aren't overly over the top, Trypticon is most definitely a Hascon thing - so why are people expecting so much from SDCC, when Hasbro will obviously want to keep things for Hascon?

(They said so on the TF panel, too.)

I see... G2 Prime's Titan Master has an Optic Scorch ability. Heh.

EDIT: Oh, and:
Fengul: Laser Prime
Fathom: Tidal Wave
Professor Go: Metalhawk
Dynamus: Quickswitch
Parsec: Nautica
Ginrai: Magnus Prime

Leinad: ?
Refractor: ?
Rot-Gut = Terri-Bull (as seen in that one book)

Because we are an impatient bunch that wants everything all the time NOW

To be fair this is the first Hascon and some people might not be even aware it exists.

Let me try this again: the panel recap literally says - John Warden says - that more stuff will be revealed at Hascon, two months away from now.

Why are people ignoring Hascon, as a reveal hotspot?

A combination of jumping the gun and the general fanbase attitude.

If there is a titan master for Daniel, shouldn't that be Arcee's head?

Well yeah of course.

What else would Daniel be?

DID I JUST PREDICT DARKWING AND DREADWING?

I will happily oblige. Because this was the last chance for Hasbro to show the next wave of Titans Return and Robots in Disguise before they are released for the next quarter. By September, any 4th quarter toy will have been revealed in some way or another. Either released in the philippines or a NOTRAB post or whatever.

Of course this assumes there are plans for toys in the 4th quarter (fall). But if there are, they werent revealed this week-end (since this is all 2018 Q1).

So thats why I was expecting more than Power of the Primes reveals.

Exactly what I was going to say. We aren't forgetting Hascon, it's all about the weird timing. I'd rather they hadn't shown PotP at all and instead shown more from wave 6 if they could only do one since it'll all have been leaked or released come Hascon. Instead they leapfrog over TR and show something that will still be months off by the time Hascon happens.

Deep breaths.

Sucks to be right...

I'll give you a 1/2 right for now, but you might want to hold that sentiment until you are proven completely right. Although I'll admit, the lack of SDCC reveals, does make it seem closer to a reality, but I think this is Hasbro being a tease and saving the last few reveals for TM for their own Hascon, which will ironically take place after wave 6 hits stores in southeast Asia (if it is more than just Slugslinger).

The timing is what doesn't make sense to me. Wave 6 would hit the stores in the US for Q4 this year, which is back to school and Christmas. That would be the absolute worst time of year to have a ghost wave of all re-releases (minus Slugslinger). They would need to have PotP figures ready for shipment in order to fill in the void. And those reveals look nowhere close to ready.

In any case, is should be a fun 2 months of worrying and speculating until anyone knows for sure.

Found this on facebook page of tfmizer-hong kong discuss.



it seems TR arcee will use blurr/brainstorm mold. Not sure how i feel about this.

With all the reveals, minor and not, from the first two days of San Diego Comic Con, a Titan Master Daniel / Leinad was also shown on the Trypticon Crunch list of potential characters - and hey presto! not long after, regular weibo leaker 淘宝店变形金刚改造工厂 has a card for Titans Return Arcee! Check it out below, and let us know what you think of this rumoured new homage to Headmaster Arcee of old, in the Energon Pub.

That Arcee card does look neat, but there's a problem. The art is inconsistent with EVERY deluxe collector card so far. Each one before has had the character in a neutral standing pose with their heads floating slightly above their neck-sockets.

If that is at all accurate to what Arcee is going to look like, it seems she's a Blurr retool.

That is weird, even Slugslinger is the same way. Since Slugslinger was developed alongside Misfire, they may have changed the art style a little early towards what it will be for PotP, just after finishing Slugslinger, but before Arcee and whatever else is coming.
