I hope this becomes a "thing" in fiction or something. Like a recurring gag with Nacelle and unknown substances.

Hah, yeah, maybe Nacelle will have something in common with Skalor after contracting this "space fungus"...

Agreed, if he designed the wings for the Coneheads, he could've also invented Pretender Shells to heal his own infection, then given one to Finback to fight his metal-wasting disease.

Has the actual fungus proven "curable" with warm water, like space-barnacles in Animated?

SpaceEagle wrote:Ah, good to know there are indeed reports of acquiring Nacelles, guess it really is just no more stock.

From Amazon, not Pulse. Pulse was the one in discussion relating to them cancelling their orders for Nacelle.

Anyways, Nemesis looks good in her ship mode

I searched around to see if anyone had any more interesting combinations, and I found nothing.
So I tinkered a bit, and came up with this, completely unofficial, but improved (In my opinion) Junkasaurus.

I used a Trashmaster, an Axlegrease, and a Scraphook, along with all of their components.

If anyone has any other cool Junkions combos, I'd love to see them! (I still have yet to find any really good 'Evo-Fusion' ideas for Trashmaster's parts, other than just swapping out the trucks front end)

I found this design on Reddit, which uses all components from Trashmaster, Scraphook, and Crashbar. I think it works well.

Watching the livestream now. I love how excited these guys get about what they're showing off. My collection is very G1-based but I might need the entire first wave of United.

Pulsecon is live! Legacy United poster features both Magmatron and Tidal Wave! Not revealed, but the poster show TW connected to Armada Megatron maybe we're getting two Commanders?

Core Energon Megatron looks great, in cartoon colors, has his tank sword and wing guns.

Tasmania Kid is amazing! Done in a sort of cartoon style.

Apparently the Rocks aren't Rocklords so much as rock vehicles, apparently inspired from rock beings from Transformers Headmasters. They're modular and transform, except for the Core Bouldercrash which turns into a weapon instead of armor.

Deluxe Magneous is neat, looks like a rocky Junkion. Just a really cool looking figure!

Deluxe Animated Bumblebee we've seen.

Deluxe Rescuebots Chase is a surprising figure. Teased a second use something amazing.

Deluxe Cyberverse Windblade is OK, but the proportions are weird, especially the jet.

Voyager Thundertron is nice, more articulated than the original. Mention Zoid Liger inspiration.

Voyager Animated Optimus Prime we've seen. Lightbar is removable.

Leader Tiger Hawk looks cool in bot mode, beast mode has really scrawny back legs. Cartoon colors!

Leaders now have open boxes like the rest of the figures!

Talking about Robosen Grimlock now.

Talking PulseCon exclusive Hot Shot.

Hall of fame is up:
Human - Takio Ejima
Evolution figure - Armada Optimus Prime
RID Character - Sky-Byte

Q&A
Can we get Prime video game characters in Gamer Edition - absolutely

Best Dinobot - All three gushed over a figure that hasn't been revealed (SS86 Swoop most likely).

Deathsaurus update - Figure is in production, have their sample at the RI offices (they're in MA), video coming.

Transformers HasLab in 2023 - No, maybe next year.

Which is odd. Considering the alteration to the design aesthetic made with the Beast Era figures so far ala Kingdom and Legacy. Featuring more "realistic" Beast Modes.

Legacy United

• Poster that shows Magmatron and Tidal Wave among many other new faces. They're probably the Commander and Titan, respectively.

Core class

• Energon Megatron - cartoon-based colors, tank-sword, "if you like Energon or Superlink, let us know and we might make more"
• Beast Wars Tasmania Kid - Evan corrected himself that it is "Beast Wars Second" not "Beast Wars Two", and noted that this figure also works as Snarl, realistic Tasmanian devil sculpt
• Infernac Universe Armorizer Bouldercrash - rock-based motorcycle bot, based on rock creatures from The Headmasters episode "My Friend Sixshot", and slightly from Rock Lords, can convert into a rock weapon, Armorizers are the new gimmick toys like the other "-izer" figures, based on red quartz rock

Deluxe class

• Infernac Universe Armorizer Magneous - solid black rock truck bot, similar to Scraphook's altmode
• Animated Universe Bumblebee - the figure we've seen already, originally had a different head design that wasn't Animated enough, final head hues closer to Derrick J. Wyatt's style
• Rescue Bots Universe Chase - looks like a retool of Earthrise Runabout/Runamuck, they hint at something else big planned for this figure to be revealed six months from now
• Cyberverse Universe Windblade - looks like just the traditional Windblade design rather than anything particularly Cyberverse-based, but really good, fan-blades spin around to let people choose between the silver or black sides of the fan-blades

Voyager class

• Prime Universe Thundertron -looks pretty close to his original design, and actually looks like a better figure than the original, really big shoulder pads but no vertical claws on them, they compare him to a Liger from Zoids
• Animated Universe Optimus Prime - they acknowledged the choice to go without the mouthplate for this one, was "essential" for them get the blue and red tints on his lightbar, wanted to conceal the front wheels as much as possible

Leader class

• Tigerhawk - show-accurate purple instead of blue, called a Fuzor repeatedly, Kingdom sculping, very show-accurate robot mode, they acknowledge the lack of shiny paint ("We'll get there!")
• Laser Optimus Prime rerelease - open-window box so you can see the figure this time

PulseCon exclusive

• Powerlinx Hot Shot & Jolt - Jolt was colored orange because he was orange in the cartoon, Hot Shot has a new connection point on his back that the first release didn't have

Q&A

• There is a game for TF: Prime. Could we get Prime characters in SS: Gamer Edition? - Absolutely. Studio Series at this point, it could be anything.
• Who is the best Dinobot? - Evan likes Sludge, but everyone always says Grimlock.
• Any news on HasLab Deathsaurus? - He is in production, an unboxing video is coming soon.
• Any HasLab for Transformers this year? - Nope! Next year, however, is the 40th anniversary, and an "omega-type reveal" is coming.

A few thoughts from the panel:

- First, and this is very important to point out, MAGMATRON!!!!!!!
- Tasmania Kid has turned out great, it looks different enough that I can't tell if it's an original mould or a very heavy retool of Kingdom Rattrap. Either way I might get him.
- The Rocks are definitely not what I imagined, the designs are nice and creative, and it's neat that they took inspiration from Japanese G1 for them. I probably won't buy any of them, but they do look very cool.
- I'm pleasantly surprised by Thundertron, I did think he was going to be a heavy retool of Lio Convoy, so not only am I happy that he's an original mould, but he looks pretty damn good too. I'm definitely buying one, and I can't wait for the other Star Seekers.
- I'm also definitely buying both Animated Optimus and Bumblebee, I'm not 100% decided on Windblade because I'm not a huge fan of the character but the toy does look decent, and while I'm not a big enough Rescue Bots fan to buy Chase, I do think that mould would make a good Evergreen style Barricade.
- The United artwork confirms that we are definitely getting Tidal Wave (in show colours to boot!) and he is able to combine with Megatron, that's one I'm very excited about!
- Tigerhawk does look a bit odd, I don't like the chicken legs or that weird looking tiger head. I feel as if I should buy him because I have Transmetal 2 Megatron, but I'm undecided as of yet.
- Finally, and this is extremely important to point out,

MAAAAAAAGMAAAAAAAATROOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!

The alt mode is still fairly realistic, but the bot mode proportions feel a little more cartoon like to me. I wish he was done in black instead of gray like the toy, but I'm sure Takara will give us the right colors since only his bot shoulders are visible in alt mode, they can still make him two toned brown. I really like the way he turned out.

Wouldn't that make Tidal Wave an awfully small Titan since the poster shows him connected to Armada Megatron?

Emerje

My own thoughts, catching up with the reveals:

Tasmania Kid: I adore it, he looks good, glad to see more smaller beasts being used for Core class.

Energon Megatron: He looks neat! I like the design, and I have the OG legends Cybertron megatron, so he will go good paired up with that Megatron.

Bouldercrash: I didn't know what to expect, but he looks really interesting, they got me with the armorizers.

Magneous: same as bouldercrash, but I like him more, I love the wheelpecks

Bumblebee: already shared thoughts, but I dig him

Chase: he feels a bit off to me, like he needed the flared boots like Bee did. I wonder what could be so huge from his mold to mention that 6 months early.

Windblade: nothing really screams "cyberverse" to me, but she looks good, and I will gladly let her go with Bee and Shadowstriker on the Cyberverse shelf.

Prime: already said how much I love him, well done.

Thundertron: looks really solid, I like it a lot. He still feels super random in terms of getting another toy, but they nailed him.

Tigerhawk: I am so unbelievably happy he is happening, my favorite Beast finally gets another chance!

The poster: Titan Tidal Wave, about what I expected and I am glad for it. Commander Magmatron is out of left field, but super awesome! Love that we will get that!

2024 Haslab prediction: Animated Omega Supreme or RiD2001 Omega Prime.

Well, if he's the Commander instead, then what's Magmatron? A measly Leader class?

I hadn't considered Omega Prime. I suppose he could work for the 40th anniversary. But it was said at some point that the next HasLab wouldn't be an Optimus, and Omega is made of an Optimus.

Conversely, Animated Omega checks the "not an Optimus" box, but doesn't really seem representative of the 40th anniversary, which the HasLab will be celebrating.

JTPrime just confirmed titan Tidal Wave and Commander Magmatron

Wheelpecks, n., pectoral muscles formed by the combination of fenders and wheels on the chest of a Transformer. Like with all of the robotic muscles on characters from the Infernac universe, Magneous's are rock-hard.
Love it.

3rd Guess while doing some thinking: Omega = Omega Lock, which wakes up Primus AKA Cybertron, thus the Haslab will be a Titan G1-ified Cybertron Primus.

Maybe Titan tidal wave comes with additional tidal wave chunks to attach to megatron.

Magmatron is a must for me if it is a decent toy. one of the few beast figures I never had the original or rerelease of back when all the 'dinobots' and other beastmachine figures were dirt cheap.

Tigerhawk might get some loving form has..third party companies to give it the old toy bird hood. Looks liek a buy even though I passed on TM2 megatron.

Piratecat looks pretty zoid like but I think I'll wait for an energon Ravage repaint.

Windblade is an easy pass, when you have one windblade you have all the windblades needed.

Chase might get reused for a collab? Dunno, he looks cool enough to pick up anyways. *I cant unsee him as t.j hooker. just needs a shatner head.

I'm liking the rock guys but thinking transparent plastic would help them look more crystally and shiny rather than them just going lava/obsidian. Shame we neever got to see what the eenergon monsters would have been like.
