messed up?

 

Or just neutral.

Gives a whole new meaning to "TRANSsexual, eh? :tflaugh

Override/Nitro Convoy's show model is pretty androgynous.  Yeah, it's got broad shoulders, but the angles of the face are softened and a bit more feminine compared to the toy, and the limbs look a bit more lithe, too.

 

But remember, Hasbro's the one that does the majority of the design work/character concepts, so any discrepancies between what Takara does and what Hasbro does is likely due to Takara taking liberties, not Hasbro.

so sunstreaker is the only one of the BTA's coming over? did they announce any other recolors/new molds besides mirage, rollbar, prime?

Here's a question for tomorrow.

 

Does Hasbro plan to release a Subaru Alt Red alert and Blaster (BTA Broadblast)?

 

 

Read the post 3 posts above yours.

 

 

Oh yeah, and the BT Ast girly figs, will not be showing up in the US either.

 

I'm asking about the actual TFs not the girl figures.

Did they show Alternators Prime in person and correctly transformed?

 

We only saw pictures and those only briefly, but if my memory serves me, they were the same pictures as was posted online.  It was interesting because Prime was actually a colored shot indicating he was further along than Mirage, yet they only actually displayed Mirage as of today.  Possible they could show Prime tomorrow.

 

Wheee we should have a forum called "Ask Bainreese" ;)

 

Ant actually the Optimus Prime shown was a painted hardcopy as opposed to a test shot so there is nothing specifically to indicate their procuction stage.  I was happy to see Mirage unpainted as after Hasbro paints the hardcopies the look wierd and are seemingly unposable like when they showed Prowl.

Did any one ask about Walmart and Alts?

 

Yes, the letter we all so was true.  They will begin carrying again with repacked case packs in Spring and new and old figures released.

 

So just to clarify, This is way more fun that "ask Vector Prime", Walmart will be getting cases of just 1 single Alt at a time?

 

No, Hasbro has changed the way it packs Alternators per Walmart and other customers requests.  They can now order solid case packs of characters.  That doesn't mean they will only have one character at a time.  It just means that they will be able to pick and choose which characters sell best for them.

 

 

So this means that Kickback was WRONG when he said the post from an alleged walmart employee was dead wrong?

haven't been able to find any pics of the new optimus primal or megatron from the 10th bw anaversery series. does any one have pics, or were they not shown?

Here's one for tomorrow.

 

Was any indication given about the smaller bot modes that the Giant Planet characters were rumored to have?

 

Yes, the "Brute" as the fans have named it, was mentioned by Archer during the panel.  Basically going from Leader Class down one size.  Jag gave a picture of this in his review of the proto.

Yes it does and I told all you guys that back then.  Based on my experience in the Retail/Wholsale world(15 years of Buying and inventory management for 1-250 stores) and dealing with Walmart and Vendors,....everything about that letter screamed legitimate.  There was several things about that letter that someone outside the "buying" communitee could not have articulated in that "speek".
