It's already been edited, don't worry.

While many have gotten their hands on the two by now, they will be sold online as of September 20th. Click here for Arcee ($24.99), click here for Power Bank Optimus Prime ($49.99), and click the image below to go to the entire Hascon Exclusives shop before telling us what you think in the forums!
Hopefully they won't be all gone in 5 seconds like Primitive Prime was.

Good luck with that. These may go faster given its a smaller price point of a figure fans have been craving.

Arcee might be a retailer exclusive (like BBTS exclusive or Amazon exclusive or something like that) but that power bank wont be available anywhere else.

I'm glad Barricade won. Love him as a movie guy!

Looking at this image, it appears that Starscream is set to follow a Silverbolt/Cyclonus styled transformation and combining Shtick. After all, Galvatronus' chest always did look like a seekers and his head crest could pass for a starscream crown!

That Blaster actually looks really cool. I like it! And the Scraplet is adorable!

We (me and the family) just got through the worst of it last night. Turns out it barely did anything to us. No loss of electricity. No real damage. No flooding. Nothing really. We're good here.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:I'm hoping all your Florida guys are riding it out ok. Frikkin hurricanes. Stay safe!

Great to hear.

As the story says, they will be available from 20 September.

-The Dinobots look really good, and I'm glad to get versions of them instead of having to use the AOE repaints or any 3rd party versions. While I'd prefer the FOC designs so they can go with FOC Grimlock, these are still great to get; after all, what better way to make a Dinobot group after we got the AOE versions (which I regret selling bar Grimlock). Volcanicus is something I could care less for. Unless I am really bored or if there is a heavy retool of the Dinobots, I won't be combining the Dinobots anytime soon.
-Jazz and Starscream are figures I would really use, since I don't have a Special Ops Jazz and Classics Starscream is too small next to my Voyager Megatron (from the same line), so I'll happily make do with these figures. Onto eBay for Classics Starscream (unless someone here wants to buy mine). Plus, I like the IDW design of Starscream more than the G1 cartoon version; makes him look more like a threat (oh, and I'm a sucker for F-22 Raptors thanks to Movie Starscream).
-Not into Dreadwind and Blackwing; planning on finding G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen instead.
-I actually want Beachcomber over Slash. Compared to most of the Minibots, I like Comby a lot since his pacifist charm makes me like him more than a lot of Season 2 Autobots. Golden Lagoon is my #1 favorite G1 episode of all time, and I'm dying to buy another one and paint his hand gold. Slash is neat, but I'll wait until I get 'Comber, Bee, Brawn, Windcharger, Powerglide, and Wheelie.
-Leader Optimus and Rodimus aren't too bad; I'm more into getting Hot Rod from TR as a normal Hot Rod and use the POTP version as a Rodimus if he scales well with Voyagers. Optimus will have to wait until I get MPM-04 Optimus AND a Voyager scaled Prime for the altmode (POTP Prime is gonna be small, I feel). Shame there's no Combat Deck.
-Not into getting the bots shown in gray prototype form EXCEPT for Optimus Primal. I'm bummed that Hasbro opted to not release the BW Masterpieces here (which would be great instead of rereleasing MP-10 for the 100th time), so I guess this Leader will make do (hope Hasbro releases BW Megs or I'm customizing TLK Scorn). Sorry, Terrorcons and etc.
-Could care less for Prime Masters lol.
-Predaking from what's seen is looking good. Hope HasTak learn from their mistakes with Devastator.
-Disappointed that we didn't get any info on Onslaught, Mohawk, and Dreadbot. Also bummed out that there was no info on the 2018 Movie toys since The Bumblebee Movie won't have much to offer, toywise. And what about MPM-5 Barricade? I'm hoping that HasTak gets onto makimg him now that he won "Best Movie Character".
-Speaking of, yay for all Decepticons winning the poll! Still funny how Trypticon won best toy of the year despite having crappy hip ratchets. I'd more likely vote for TR Nautica, Leader Blaster, or the MPM figures if they were available.
So that concludes my thoughts on Hascon. Hopefully, we'd get more stuff shown at NYCC 2017.

Not that I was particularly fussed about getting a pink retool of TR Blurr anyway, but I weary of HTS.com's constant shortages and their strange desire to put up huge lists of figures that they DON'T have in stock....
