Pulsecon 2023 Exclusive Powerlinx Armada Hot Shot with Mini-Con Jolt
Theme for the release was the episode of Armada where Powerlinx Hot Shot invades Galvatron’s castle in an effort to get to him to convince him to join the battle against Unicron
Went orange on Jolt vs yellow as Jolt was almost exclusively orange in the animation and wanted to also give regular release Hot Shot fans a way to complete their OG release

Yup. Down with blue text!

If people can't tell a sarcastic statement from a real one that's their fault
Zoo
Once again, didn't think I needed blue text here. Obviously I'm joking

TF Con is unofficial and covers third party releases… but you can technically claim it covers multiple years worth of upcoming releases given the delays on releases from third party.
eenawes
I don't check in here everyday but I try to stay somewhat current. With that in mind, I can't believe we're STILL talking about how a site member celebrates the franchise.
PloverNutter
Yeah I think someone hit their head really hard and got stuff mixed up lol
ScorponokIsHere
??? pulsecon always covers just one wave of one toyline, not an entire year, and TFCon is an unofficial fan convention.
firelancer120
tfcon is when they talk about the following year stuff. not pulsecon that covers 99% of inyear reveals.

"smart fan:" fixed your typo./ tansformers cost this thing called. MONEY. in order to make MONEY you need to work. another thing that costs MONEY and doesnt really care about personally entertainment is rent and bills. niether does your boss. there is difference with being a fan of something and unhealthily addicted. if your missing work to watch a stream thatl be there when your off. you need to take a break

I am fortunate that I can take off for some streams and it's good for mental health as well as long term performance to take days here and there. So I usually align them with a fanstream but I didn't for this Pulsecon and probably won't for later this month. 2024? Maybe. I take days, but also keep it in check.
Autobot N
I missed both of the last two Pulsecons before this year because of school. Wasn’t a big deal, I just watched it later

Guess it depends on the job really. If I had a job where it was easy to get time off, still get paid, and had a bunch of off time? Sure I’d take some time off for fun. But sadly most jobs don’t have that luxury so if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out.
Zoo
Truly a fake fan
Thundershot
I still can’t imagine taking off work to watch a stream that will be there when I get off work. I can see timing my lunch around when the preorders hit, but the stream will be there after work.
Lazerwave
Well then it's a good thing my manager is allowing me that day this time.

There won’t be a Haslab revealed for the 2023 1027 event. The Haslab will instead be revealed in 2024. I guess it’s to go with the 40th anniversary of transformers.
JT confirmed that the first wave of 2024 Studio Series will be revealed during the 1027 event for this year.
Lazerwave
I believe so. They may reveal the next Haslab.
Autobot N
Was 1027 the thing that Deathsaurus was revealed at, or was that something else?
Lazerwave
Since my boss won’t allow me pulsecon off, she is allowing my oct 27. Plus that’s when mcm starts, right?
PloverNutter
I believe they already announced it. The 10/27 stream has been a yearly thing for a while now
