Hasbro's Botcon Toy Display Sneak Peek

Awsome! I see some unpainted RHs, maybe I'll finally get a movie screamer. I'm also now considering to get arcee and 08 bumbles.

Sunday morning they show us the stuff we've not seen before.

Oh my geebus... so much awesome contained in those glass cases!

A lot of those non-movie figures are looking great. Arcee, Longarm, and Dropkick are on my "must-have" list for sure.

Things are looking good so far!

Lets just hope that they make a Voyager Class Bonecrusher and Leader Class Blackout and Starscream.

I like that recon barricade, and I see a "lazerbeak" repaint in there

Objection - Contradictive !

Is it me, or does the tag of the Masterpiece Starscream repaint say $59.99?

It did indeed, though I heard it was supose to be $50. Then again the Blackout and Scorponok 2 pack has a price for $10.99 so I think there might be some mess ups.

I think I can see Starscream in the back

I do see Ironhide, Brawl and Bonecrusher for sure (YES! finally, some Bonecrusher stuff)

Oddly enough, the Bonecrusher robot hero is in exactly the same pose I imagined him in, it's like Hasbro is stealing my thoughts...

so much that i want...

anybody want to buy a kidney?

Cool stuff! I like all the deluxe-sized figures, and we finally get some pretty decent pics of Payload. Not bad for a lense-headed drone! :p His truck mode seems a little bland, but he looks pretty good in bot mode. And Longarm's truck mode looks better in these pics, so that's cool. Dropkick looks kinda goofy & top heavy with all the "stuff" hanging off of his upper body, but I wouldn't put that big goofy-looking claw weapon thing in his hands or on his arms anyway, so I'm sure he will look better when he's posed better.

However, I'm really not digging Leader Brawl as much as I thought I would. What's up with the seemingly translucent white plastic guns on top back of his tank mode?? Maybe he's unfinished. Ah well, don't want to complain too much. Better pics will be appreciated, but for me, I'd still just need to see it in person.

hey, hey, hey, is that a repaint of Booster/Real Gear Lazerbeak I see there? Blue and white it looks to be...

Is it wrong to say I just want those glass shelves? :p


Yep, some nice stuff there. Especially that MP Starscream.

I still call bullshit on the Masterpiece Starscream being a Wal-Mart exclusive. =)

Yes there is

Seriously! If I had those cases I would be able to display my 500+ Transformers......one day......

I love these figures. I also agree with Air Commander Starscream that I would love to get some of those glass cases for my display.

Nice pile of stuff but what's the deal with them sneaking in the Littlest Pet Shop stuff? Perhaps a Littlest Beast Wars spin-off in the future?

OMG...this is pure win! Okay, apart from Deluxe Scorponok . Dropkick is MINE. Payload is MINE. '08 BB is MINE. Leader Brawl is MINE (albeit in the desert camo repaint). All Real Gears are MINE. Longarm is MINE. Voyager Megatron MIGHT be MINE. Leader Prime is MINE. Thank God for TF Animated being released in March...more time to get all of this!

but wouldnt you want to space out your collection?

come on hasbro, why does 08 bb come out in augest, what is supposed to come out in july anyways?
still cant wait for full gallery;p

Ahhhhhhh.............. OOOPs... (runs to the Bathroom..)

Hey why does that leader class Prime in box have minifigures with it can someone explain?

I have that hat I wear it all the time. Still cant find the Barricade hat. But i shouldnt have looked. Theres to much that i want. And seeing as how i dont have a job yet im fraked. Damn you hasbro damn you for makeing to much good crap that i cant get!

That leader Class Brawl looks like a complete waste of money 40 bucks for a big deluxe with bad paint...I'll pass..Barricade looks like he is wearing stretch paints the kind that those steroid body builders wear...I'll pass he sux as a figure anyways.. 08 Bumblebee is what I want I am gonna paint his black arm and leg parts silver so it matches the movie better... debating about the Jazz repaint I was gonna buy the silver but so many of you hated him so I didnt bother....drop kick is still a buy though for me

Damn it, they get the cheap movie chess set right and screw up the expensive G1 set.

Wow. Was that leader class Brawl? Nice one.

Great photo's, it's lovely to see 'em all together.

It's really too bad than none of this is surprising thanks to all of these toys already showing up on eBay. No 'wow' factor for me, anyway.

Also a little disappointed that there are no displays of WW Prowl, WW Grimlock or WW Skywarp.

...err...it was confirmed (I believe during the Hasbro tour) that is indeed a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Listening to TFW again, are we?

Is that a titanium Soundblaster I see? (next to the black Rodimus Prime repaint)

Leader Brawl looks good, I'm wondering why the missle launchers on the back and the cannon's muzzle brake are clear though... I've two theories;

1) that's an early prototype and those clear bits are rubber(as a safety thing on the end of a long points cannon barrel) and will be replaced by coloured rubber in the final production version

2) they are there for the toy's light & sound FX, they light up and a gun sound is made(like how leader prime has the headlights and horn)

Why isn't Deluxe Dreadwing in there? he's the only lense head drone I want... surprized to see Payload is a drone too - he looks rubbish as does Dropkick(worst TF name in years).

bobpiecheese wrote:'08 BB is MINE. Leader Brawl is MINE (albeit in the desert camo repaint)...

Yeah, I want '08 BB & leader Brawl too but how do you know he'll have a desert camo repaint?

(snifs) what about deluxe prime

Awesome new figs. I really dig Payload. is he a Destron?

Nothing new than? The only thing non-movie/deformed is the Masterpiece Starscream and some already released Titaniums - except TITANIUM PRIMAL PRIME! Okay, that's cool. So out of that cabinet, 2 thing to buy. Sad. I hope this movie crap dies quickly and they can move on.

Tough decision now about Barricade - the original has an awesome looking car mode but the repaint is much more interesting in bot mode, and such a similar colour scheme to dropkick that I think I might get that one and consider them brothers.

Awesome reconnaissance guys

Primal Prime is coming out? Yes..yes..YESSS!!!!!

Hmm thta leader class brawl is looking mighty tasty... i want him so bad (not that way you sickos)

Wasn't that Scout Arcee figure BLUE on Hasbro's website?

Well, after seeing the repainted Jazz again, I now have to revise my list of "Movie figures I'll buy":

-Mean Time.

Really, no joke. These movie figures are choking the life out of my interest for Transformers, they really are.
But hey, I need a watch...and one that transforms brings me back to the days of Kronoform.

awesome~

when are most of them coming out??



can't wait to buy them all

Oddly the movie Arcee repaint of the Energon Arcee is blue. The movie Elita One repaint of Energon Arcee is pink! Yes, they made Elita One out of Energon Arcee! When will the madness end?

When a fire happens at the production plants in China, forever destroying all these AWFUL figure molds, leaving them with the need to sculpt them anew?

Recon Barricade looks all kinds of awesome, looks like I'm breaking my only movie appearance characters rule again. And 6in. Titanium Primal Prime, HELLS YEAH!

How many Target repaints should we be expecting?

And is that an Energon StarScream with updated rockets?

Also, is that a picture of an Ultimate Prime, next to Ultimate BumbleBee?

Eitherway, best display case in some time!

lovin the robot heroes, I seriously need to buy... all of them... or something... 08 BB needs to be out now... like right this second now, and at that same second I need to be at a store with them in stock and have enough money in my hand! but I think I'll settle for sleep instead right now since I just finished a night shift...

It's leader Prime who comes with Legends Bumblebee and Jazz.

I'm going to Botcon tommorrow, must find new screamer releases!

all that ugly ass movie crap makes me sick. more robot heroes please and when does the mp screamer repaint come out?

I want a Leader Trailer for Prime.

C'mon, where are all the pics?

Botcon is over in a few hours and I've barely seen any of the stuff on display, isn't Hasbro supposed to update the cases on sunday?

is payload an autobot or decepticon?
