"PLEASE-D" WTF ??? YOUR JOKING RIGHT?
There's really NOTHING HERE! A Sht LAZY CHROMIA Repaint of PotP MOON RACER. An IRONHIDE That Looks Great from a SKY-CAM VP.. Look closer-- He HAS NO PELVIS! Where's his waist? An why such A drab coloring job. Now MAGNUS Looks decent but his LAZY CW Analogue has A better aesthetic. At least IMO anyway (No waist swivel/ No Ratchets on A $50 Leader class bot aside of course).
WHERE'S THE CONS
????
Pure LAZINESS on Hasbro's part! Why not A SHOCKWAVE Voyager ?? Or even A SKY WARP Redeco of PotP STAR SCREAM. Since their being LAZY- that sounds like A No Brainer.
Or why not give us A simple "Lost Light" CON-styled repaint Voyager of HOT ROD from his inner PotP Rodimus Prime's Leader class figure ? ? ?
- Hello @Hasbro
Just one to many WTF/ "No Brainers"!
This was an embarrassing Showcase for HASBRO especially for any SDCC By comparing it to any other. No Exclusives like A Starscream F-15 GI.Joe Striker w/ Cobra Commander, No Devastator, No Titan (Fort Max-ish thing) to write home about. How stupid is HASBRO!? People go to SDCC For TITANS (Not that DC Sht), CC Exclusives. NEITHER OF WHICH YOU CAN BUY AT STORES! Not everybody likes MAIL ORDER/ DELIVERY.. And waiting to see if TAKARA's is going to be better. I Want to go buy something !!! Not wait at Home for my on-line delivery evey phucking time.
And HOW DO THESE STUPID 1980's LOOKING MICRO BOTS PRESENT "MORE PLAYABILITY" Than Head-Masters & PotP from last year ??
LIKE SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING. Anyone ??
I know TRYPTICON Lacked Playability by comparison to his former & of course FORT MAXIMUS, which was far superior. But Last Years PotP show was waaay better by comparison anyway. From Variety, to inventiveness, to Just pure Colorfulness, to "PLAYABILITY".
In conclusion, [If] this was the Year I decided to go to SDCC Man would I of been Pist! Only good thing was "End of The continuity" special IDW "UNICRON" #1 comic (that features Both the FCBD. #0 & New #1 // im assuming). Which matters Not cause
'5 Fold Understanding' YT CHANNEL Has both of the comics up anyways ((I know the UNICRON #0 Is Up & He said #1 is coming)). Anyhow with ALL THAT BEING SAID--
Im happy I didn't go. Cause HASBRO embarrassed themselves this year.
So much Vehemency...
I do agree with you to an extent that Chromia being so obviously similar to her Limb Bot counterparts and yet not having that capability is a bit of a slap. It reminds me of last week when I found out HP no longer makes a Driver for my old but still reliable scanner that definately still works. They coulda left it there, but I get why and they arent wr9ng for wanting to start from scratch, even if I dont agree with their pretending the CW system doesnt still exist.
by saying "Ironhide doesnt have a waist, do you mean because its overpowered by his huge chest or because you want the RoboDiaper of his Masterpiece? cause I don't want that. he does have a big chest, but the Vehicle mode looks great and the robot mode doesnt look bad. he's a big stocky fighter and he lools like one.
The Drab Color is a style choice. Ironhide's always been a bit of a mud-fight in acowboy type. And the whole line is about the WAR. The active, bloody, final days War. not the battles on Earth, but the constant knock down drag out fighting. Hasbro wants them to be dirty, or at least unpolished.
This is only the teaser. if you think there will not be Decepticons then I have a Space Bridge you might ne interested in. The Cons are coming. this is just a teaser. The Heroes have always traditionally sold better than the bad guys. so its only good business sense that they start with those.
your next point is basically Shame on Hasbro for not having the Exclusives I want. we actually talk about the Titans on the TwinCast Podcast (I say "We" I only guest starred in one show...) And the signals some people are getting is that the Titans are simply not getting Hasbro the Return on Investment. Including your Highly Praised Fort Max. Hasbro basically needs to focus on selling the Predakings that they have, if they sold Predakings as Con Exclusives then that potentially is Predalinfs that are not being sold on BBTS or Amazon or Target. And if those three dont sell their stock at a profit, they decide its not worth the risk to sell the next Titan, and if they dont order stock then Hasbro doesnt make it and we can't buy it. So better to let the Street versions of Predaking sell out first. Maybe we'll get a blinged out version next year.
I doubt they can sell the imner mold Hot Rod without his armor simply because of how Molds work. each plastic part of a Transformer is a poured casting. they pour liquid plastic into a giant steel casting and after it cools, they pry the pieces out carefully (like an Ice Cybe Tray but hotter and heavier) Forum is Prime may be several molds due to the number of parts bit most of the red parts get cast together, and so on, so to make Hot Rod they have to make Rodimus. they would be better off to use the Titans Return mold straight off for a LL Forum is, but that color scheme is gone from LL now. and had the books come out when they should have, that color scheme would have been gone for a while now. Its old News.
Trust me, people are not going to SDCC for Titans. This is not Botcon, where the convention centerpiece is the toys. you do not simply go to SDCC for one fandom, or you simply dont get the value for the cost of Admission. Read my post above about selling the Titans. Instead, Hasbro's exclusives are centered around the upcoming Movie, which is exactly what you are telling them to do with Lost Light (and yes, I realize this is San Diego COMIC con not MOVIE Con, but you better believe DC and Marvel are promoting their Movies too. And Doctor Who is pushing their TV stuff, and so on), and a character from both the Machinima video and the Fan Vote. All Three exclusives have caught on pretty well with a majority of the Fandom, so clearly they did it right. They just didnt scratch your particular itch.
And News Flash: Most of us have to order the SDCC Exclusives.
Let me tell you a story. it goes like this. "Once Upon a Time.." Actually, you know what? No, "At No Time Ever in playing with my Titans Return Figures have I ever played with the HeadMasters. My favorite Titan Master is Shuffler, because I literally put his HeadMaster in Godbomber's cockpit and play strictly with the Elephant Tank. I Don't care about the head dudes. its one more part I have to detach and stow in a Vehicle mode. the Prime Masters? they never leave their Armor, not even when I put them in weapon mode.
but these Micromasters? you do realize these things are Hot Wheels sized right? they wont work well with Hot Wheels tracs that require Boosters, because these dont have the weight to hold to the road, but the Hot Wheels city sets and little store fronts will work perfectly. You know how I know? because its exactly what I did with the identocally sized Mincons back in Armada in 2002. Before that, the original Micromasters even came with Base station play sets in the 80s. it'd be wonderful if Hasbro would do some of the Base Bots with wide enough Ramps...
waitaminute... They did.
I'm sorry you didnt find much about WFC:Siege to be excited about. a quick scan of the thread shows you aren't alone. But you also aren't in the majority here. By most accounts, this is a great opening Salvo for the new Trilogy. Just wait, there will be more.
Did you really like Fort Max over Metroplex? I passed on him for other priorities snd have been on the fence about circling back, now that we are getting Cog, but that Base just doesnt look enough like Maximus to me to make me want to double dip on the mold
