Alright, everybody!
Get ready: SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2017 – Collector Preview Breakfast
Go easy on the refreshing (front page, threads) please. It's a kind request to keep the site up and running due to unbelievably heavy traffic.
We hope you all will enjoy as much as we enjoy covering it.
Wheeljackie
My hopes now
POTP
– All 5 Dinobots
– Leader Class Tarn
– BW Optimus Primal and Megatron
– Voyager Seekers
TLK/Movie
– Legends Mohawk
– Deluxe Dreadbot
– Voyager Onslaught
Starscream 91
Nice! Thanks!
Fort Max
11am San Diego time.
Starscream 91
Wait is there a panel today? What time!?
Lazerwave
I hope for the Dinobots, but I feel it's going to be a disappointment.
Bob Schoonover
It's worth noting that the 2019 Titan will likely be, like FM was, the first release of the new subline. It's also possible it's the last release of PotP, though.
I'm inclined to think Scorponok, too, for 2018. Having Tryp in hands, I can see how his torso/abdomen/tail hinge were all designed for (possible) dual use. And if (as is rumored) Hasbro continues w/the Titanmaster size class (either as Target- or Powermasters), Scorponok makes a lot of sense.
And yes, Omega should be the same height as Devastator.
TyrantLizardKing
Might as well stick my desires for POTP here:
-Leader Nova Prime, Star Saber, Deathsaurus
-Voyager Apeface, Snapdragon, Dreadwind, Darkwing
-Deluxe Repugnus, Grotusque, Impactor
-All of the Dinobots
-Predacons, Terrorcons, Seacons
Smitty.1981
Agreed. CNY Omega is a good fit in my collection but I have TFC Hercules. I can see the need for an Omega that "scales" with CW/ UW Devastator.
Thundershot
I hope it's Scorponok.
I hope Omega is the size of Devastator or it'll just be weird…
Slingshot
I pray that a voyager Rodimus Prime is revealed, along with a leader class Star Saber (with a titan-master to represent his brainmaster) and Deathsauras. Those are the only figures I want from PoTP.
Hadlen_Weltall
Question though… The 2018 Titan? Power of the Primes means one character at this point and if the Third-Party market is a barometer. Omega.
Smitty.1981
At the Q&A can someone ask why distribution is so wonky?
Cosmoglide
I'm not buying a new Grimlock unless we get all the dinobots. I do hope POTP is beast heavy. Would love to see updated terrorcons and predacons. I would die if they roll out a Seacon set in this line.
snoopcow
i see what u did there, future transtechtors for cogman
Trevman20
I am also hoping for Onslaught and Mohawk figures and even Dreadbot and Daytrader
Seth Sunthay
Star Saber and a Deathsaurus
IronMagnus
Remember when they had people vote on Facebook for who would be the next Prime? They wouldn't put up option for a vote that they didn't already have designs for…
I'm guessing every single option there will have a toy in PotP… just that the one voted on to be prime will have a bio that reflects that. Maybe come with a little Matrix accessory.
Purple Heart
So reading the official description, it sounds like the entirety(or most) of Power of The Prime's wave 1 will be revealed during the panel tomorrow.
I absolutly cannot fucking wait. If Star Saber is revealed I will legit cry. But I'm still so excited for it regardless. Primes are my favorite aspect in Transformers, and Titans Return has been my favorite line Ever. I want POTP to blow it out of the park!
weevil
I can\'t wait for Power of the Prime. what does it look like pretender. the pretender system will be marvel legends and SW the black series.
