Aaron Archer talking about story elements ... (not sure if this is for a future toy line or just Hasbro building the fictional mythos). This is stuff for several years done the road. Sneak peak! Doesn't appear to be a toyline at this time. The following is a list of extremely cool drawings that they showed us.
Alpha Trion
Liege Maximo
Vector Prime (time and space)
Prima (warrior of light)
Megatronus (warrior of darkness)
The Fallen (has an interesting new plot twist)
Q&A
-----------------------------
Interesting bits from the Q&A
Everyone was disappointed about the end of TFA
Slipstream is in WFC
No current plans for different size classes in PCC
More girl toys? Stay tuned! Wink! Wink!
More WFC toys? Success breeds more success.
There are no plans at this time for a Toyline for Transformers: Prime

And Scourge also gets a proper "Classics" style release as well ... very nice.

Only one minor quibble: Repainting Straxus/Darkmount into Skullgrin is...well...worth a shot, but a more logical repaint would be into (SPOILER ALERT!) Megatron's colors, with a slight remold that allows his head to easily pop on and off.

HASBRO I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND I WANT YOU TO HAVE MY BABIES!!!!

Hasbro, I was wrong. I thought this was going to be a sucky year, and you've proven me wrong. I'm sorry. This is...incredible. Jazz? Scourge? Kup? Perceptor? I'm overwhelmed. They do listen!

Im also going to have to get Cyclonus and Kup if they do him.....please

Scourge is good to here, because my Titanium one is a bit too heavy to have hanging over my desk the way he is now...
Posted by Jacob P. Galvatron on June 27th, 2010 @ 11:00am CDT
Deluxe G1 Scourge: Well, if that new set comes out, I'll get him to complete the team.
Deluxe Jazz: Little B will be so happy.
Voyager Lugnut: On the fence. I love Lockdown, but I'll have to see him...
Grimstone / Dinobots: Wasn't planning on Powercores, but this one may just draw me in.
Slipstream is in WFC: lols... she has glowy bits on her butt.
More WFC toys? Success breeds more success: Yay.

Don't tell me you forgot Universe Cyclonus!
The Generations list is just divine! I hope I've moved out by the time they're out...

I love you.
Seriously though, Jazz, Perceptor, Kup, Scourge, Tracks, Grapple, Windcharger. Its like G1 heaven. I can't wait.

And apparently the person who said that nodded yes when people got excited.

Hasbro, thank you. A Jazz...

Now, make sure he has his Targetmaster and I'll be thrilled!

Even more? wow if this is true I can't wait to see what else they got The only thing that would make this more awsome is more WFC and Wheeljack. But they're making Percy! Oh I'm so glad they're making Percy! The others I will have to see them before I buy, but not this guy Just a quick question though, do they usually release more stuff like this a SDCC? I read on a post somewhere that they did. Wow, looks like it was a good year to start my new hobby lol!

I haven't bought a lot of Transformers recently. But I can see myself picking up the Legends.
And the new Generations toys sound great!

Not even cancellation can stop Lugnut from following the great and GLORIOUS leader Megatron to other continuities, I see. Great! There really needs to be more of these cross-series things.
There will be no toys for the Transformers: Prime series (not planned at least)
Strange.
Posted by Deludedcon on June 27th, 2010 @ 11:59am CDT
So much so I crawled out from under my rock to say it, LOL.
Way to go Hasbro, WAY to go!
...Now make Overlord Generations and Thundercracker and it will be glorious...
Hey, I can dream, hehehe.
Good going over all, in any event. Cannot wait to get a hold of them ALL.

Yes, they do show more stuff at SDCC. First, they'll show the toys that were shown today, but publicly. Botcon wants no video or picture devices in the panel discussion, but what was seen only by those attending, will be seen publicly next month at SDCC, plus they'll show a few more items of what's to come.
Botcon and SDCC are the two conventions that show us everything. By the end of those two, we'll have a very, very clear look at what's to come until June 2011 when TF3's toyline debuts.
So...they're gonna have to push these Generations toys out fast.
Now...who the heck is Percy?

Did you really need to ask that? Isn't it clear it's Percival? Nah, it's Perceptor

*facepalms* It never occurred to me who that would be. Yeesh.
I think I'm gonna buy the G1 version of Perceptor to go with my Neo-G1 set, though.

Very happy Hasbro have gone back to the original 13 mythos like they said they would. PLEASE make figures of these.
Either way, THANK YOU HASBRO!!!

Not so interesting once you consider Animated Perceptor was a truck too, with a microscope mode.

WFC Sideswipe and Ironhide need to be on my shelf. Bring on the success.
Posted by Agamemnon on June 27th, 2010 @ 1:33pm CDT
I have been playing WFC all week. It's pretty cool. It makes me want me some jets. Not the seeker drones, mind you. Give me them six main character jets. And the others like Slipstream and Ramjet.
And Trypticon. NEED Trypticon!!

As is IDW's version. LSOTW #5
I'd love to see a classics version of Blaster too. Not just the cybertron SW repaint we have already.

By the way, did I read right? Dinobot toys that actually combine?

Yes. We are receiving a Dinobot PCC set.
And I'd love to see G1 combiners redone in PCC. But with actual hands and feet, ya know. Since the drones do absolutely nothing, and the only moving parts are used for the "Automorph" transformation, isn't it possible that Hasbro could fashion a hand and arm mounted weapons to pop out and retain the G1 ish look?
I'm sure they could do it, but will they? I don't think so.
