News From San Diego ComicCon.....

Post by Shanti418 » Sat Jul 16, 2005 12:21 am

- 4 Alternator redecos scheduled, 5 new molds scheduled/planned
- No World's Smallest Transformers Coming
- No plans for a G.I. Joe/Transformers toyline crossover
- No plans for War Within figures
- Hasbro is looking at the possibility of putting older, harder to find Alternators (Tracks, Meister, Shockblast) online at the Hasbro Toy Shop
- Hasbro is planning an Alternators Mirage
- Soundwave is going to be a helicopter in the movie
- Universe is finished, save for store exclusive releases
- Seacons, "Green" Landfill, Jetfire Decepticon repaints may become Hasbro Toy Shop exclusives
- Mini-Con Battle Packs will be repaints for the first wave, and all new molds from that point on
- Hasbro will begin introducing larger Alternators at a higher price point
5 new molds? Alternator Mirage? Larger Alternators??? *exhales* Yay!

Soundwave the helicopter. Because even though Cyclonus makes sense and has worked in the past, it's just not a big enough bone to throw the fans.

The toy of that Soundwave chopper (if they make one) should play the Ride of the Valkyries.

Alt Mirage :up:

Cheers for the info :)

If by "no-one" you mean just about every geek/dork/nerd/ on earth. SDCC is, by far, the biggest nerd-event on the planet.

Double topic! And SDCC rules, now donn' it?

I think it's good to hear that we've got 5 new molds confirmed for Alternators. But bigger size-class? Would this imply that some new molds are Decepticon-jets, and now we are getting the phenomenon of giant cons towering up above the lil' Autobots?

Hopefully it will be used for fitting characters. :)

Bah. SDCC is already all over this site in a most unorganized manner anyway. There are the IDW/Movie SDCC topics in G1, so I just thought I'd stick this here.

Alrighty then, with the exception of Screamer. ;-) Not quite the same as a War Within series of figures.
