It's a MINCON COMBINER!

http://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=316&size=1&image=44

Uh oh!

Minicons!

Minicons that don't require assembly!

Minicons that combine into a deluxe sized figure!

Those min-cons are pretty badass, it's almost like a miniture TF-GO set up

Please don't insult the Minicons!

Who is is supposed to be? I'm assuming it's some IDW character(s)?

"may make your head explode" why cause the prices are so high or is it because the quality is so low

I said set up not the same , the figures are arranged in a similar way as the triple combiner, one for head and shoulders, one body, and one for lower body and legs.

Who? The Mini-Con combiner? It's a new character.

Much better quality images than I could find.

Armada Starscream's reveal was a pretty nice early birthday gift. I may consider preordering a figure for the very first time.

Like I usually say, many of the Generations figures are on my "To Get" list. Some of the Construct-Bots as well, oddly enough.

Whoa, Mini-Cons?! Where'd they come from? I don't remember there being anything about Mini-Cons! And they combine?!

pzfksfioejmcsdfgv;afnjna;ffweafj.... Sorry, I was wiping blood off my keyboard.

So how will they be sold? The traditional three-pack? And how big will they and their combined mode be?

The entirety of the Generations line: Legends, Deluxes, Voyagers, and now the sudden addition of kickass Mini-Cons...

I would guess a traditional three-pack at a deluxe price-point.

Why do you doubt the power of the Seibertron news team?

With a Minicon emblem!

Minicons? really? Those things are ugly and terrible... GENERATIONS SKYWARP! There's the awesomeness. Shrapnel looks beautiful too. The rest are pretty meh, with the exception for Whirl who I like despite the awkwardly posed Robot mode.

Minicon combiner?
Shrapnel with Reflector?
Generations Skids and Whirl?

Gimme dat.

MINDVVIPE wrote:Minicons? really? Those things are ugly and terrible...

But they're tiny and therefore adorable! And they combine! And they're green!

EDIT: AND THE TANK HAS A MONOCLE! I'm in love.

Not to mention they're military vehicles. I love me some military vehicles!

It's even well articulated! GATTAIIII!

So are these the first minicons that have their own guns?

Looking at them again, they have a bit of an Insecticon vibe to them.

Shrapnel as the helicopter, Bombshell as the tank and Kickback the jet.
Does no one else see it?

And thus, I repeat myself:

"I gota pee!"

"Don't watch me pee!"

"I'm peeing"

I don't really see it, to be honest. If someone could do a mock-up, digibash, whatever, of these guys in Insecticon colors, then we'll see.

You know what I do see, though? Megatron as the tank, Starscream as the jet, and Soundwave as the helicopter.

I kinda see it with the little tank, it molding has kinda similar to bombshells mouthpiece, but it's under the "chin" and at the collar, rather than a mouthplate

While the minicon combiners don't look bad.. Why the hell can't we just get good looking updates of classic combiners? I just don't get it.. How long are we going to have to wait for a really nice combiner of devastator.. Or superion..

Maybe hasbro just can't make it happen.

I can't remember an SDCC that has been less exciting than this one.

There isn't a single thing that I'm super thrilled about.

I'm not saying that I don't like anything.. I was just expecting a little more.

It's more wishful thinking than anything, but yeah!

Those minicons are out of left field, but awesome as hell. I await having to track down 8 versions of them thanks to Takara.

Everything smaller than a Deluxe is just amazing. I think those MiniCons are my favorite reveal (Abominus has a rival!).

I want them all.

Y'know, I've given the unnamed (as far as I can know) Mini-Con combiner some thought: what if this could be the first visual interpretation of Micronus [Prime], the first Mini-Con and one of the Thirteen?

The helicopter looks like a "she" to me. I get a feminine vibe from the design.

Shrapnel makes two Insecticons down. Now, we just need Bombshell.

You know I just had a thought. I wonder if the fanbot's going to be one of Thrilling 30's exclusives rather than retail, and if the former is true; how limited will that figure be.

I see where you're coming from... But Hasbro is clearly in support of 3rd Parties. Or in denial about how many of you have bought Hercules!

I'm excited about the new Bombshell... but disappointed it's going to be the mini-size. I think this is marking the beginning of the end... for deluxes. At least for those of us who don't subscribe to the comics. And it's a matter of time before even those get scaled down.

I think the Commander series are less sturdy/quality than Deluxe class, and I'm a bit disappointed to see so much G1 goodness shoe-horned into the cheaper scale.

Plus, I hate "Reflector the GUN!" That's terrible. If you can do a mini-con combiner, HasTak, why can't you do a mini-con Reflector proper? Three camera pieces combining into one camera... no, that's too hard. Let's go with generic chopper, jet, and tank. AGAIN.

Surely they wouldn't make something that the fans created exclusive and unavailable to the general public?

I considered that too. But then I remembered that this is a Mini-Con combiner, a feature that's already been claimed by Nexus Prime. I get the feeling that Micronus is the "first Mini-Con", Nexus is the "first combiner", but neither can be both without overlapping into the other's title.

Windblade is going to be number "30 of 30", yes.

But, they didn't say anything about how limited (if at all) she would be.

Yeah, that was the conflicting problem I had when I had that thought. I'm still going to keep tabs on it, but it's an interesting theory nonetheless.

well this is all speculation, but something tells me she'll be somewhat separate from the mainline. for example if the paint or engineering overly complex compared to the rest of mainline, she''l be either sold as the special edition figure at retail, or as one of the thrilling 30's 30 convention/online exclusives. Me thinkums she'll anywhere from $29.99 to $39.99

double post ignore#-o

I don't want to sound stupid, but is that it for announcements????

Is there another panel tomorrow?

I mean there really weren't any surprises here, a lot of these toys were announced 2 weeks ago at the last convention????

Are there anymore IDW toy announcements or MP toy announcements?

Primus, that whirl looks terrible. It looks worse than the pictures before.


YES YES YES!!!!!!

Shrapnel!!!!!
Tailgate!!!!
TOO MUCH TO HANDLE!!!!!

Those minicons are really different, I don't really like their faces, minicons usually have faceplate or movie BB-type faces. The helicopter also looks like it's supposed to be female. Nevertheless, bring on the revival of minicons! And the fact that they combine is awesome. They look kind of big just from how much articulation they have, but I guess they're getting more advanced than they were in Armada lol.

(Note from Ryan: Please do not post images from our competitors for events that we are attending ... thanks!)

Images of the Mini-Con combiner (calling him Micronus Prime until we actually get a name) on display. None of the individual robot modes, sadly:

Starscream is so cool!I must have him!

Hasbro: "Refuses to combine and lose his independence."

AMTM: "Refuses to buy bad jokes posing as toys."

I'm confused.

From the reaction she got in the other thread, it may be the BEST idea for her to not be sold retail. Most of us are really turned off by her Kabuki face. I personally find the concept art kind of meh, so... (At least there won't be as much competition to buy her? )

Honestly, I quite like the way this character came out. Yeah, she could do without the makeup, but other than that, she looks pretty neat. Plus, there's only one other female jet (not counting Airrazor's "Cybertronian" mode) in the entirety of Transformers fiction, that would be Slipstream. If I could get a hold of that TFSS Slipstream, Windblade here would make a fine nemesis for her!

Yeah some people actually like the concept, but i don't like the idea of the figure being a convention exclusive

Plus this would be the only female jet transformer, designed to be a girl from the start

You know, I think they should've made Reflector Legend Megatron's partner and amde Chop Shop Legend Sharpshot's partner.

Agreed: that would've been the more genius idea. However, it appears that Reflector's weapon mode is a nod to Shrapnel's original toy's weapon.
