I've been lurking around these forums for a while now, made an account a couple of weeks ago. I've been reading and watching and it seems like you guys are so much more level headed then another transformers forum I could mention but won't, that seems clouded with a lot of negative attitudes and frequent whining. In short, it's a joy being here in comparison.


Glad to have you aboard man! Yeah, we're largely a pretty mellow bunch, and even the few firecrackers in the candle box don't mean any real harm. Look forward to seeing you at Botcon!


Thank you. Yeah I can't wait for botcon. Especially this year, 30th anniversary!

Well, if my math is accurate (or close enough to accurate), then the current design team is responsible not only for the AOE stuff, but also for the Generations toys that come after the first 2014 waves of Deluxes and Voyagers. Meaning that every new mold after Waspinator, Skids, Goldfire, Dreadwing, Rhinox, and Doubledealer comes from the current team.

Though, I'm hesitant to say this for certain about all of the second wave 2014 Deluxes due to the timing of when they were revealed. I know for almost certainty that Whirl is product of the current design team (since he was made by the same designer who's doing the upcoming Roadbuster figure, who is part of the current team), but his reveal came about first at BotCon 2013, along with the Wave 2 2014 Deluxe (minus Centuritron).

I guess I could just ask someone more in the know about which toys were the last to be designed by the old team, but I don't know if I'd get an answer. :oops:

Actually that would make an alarming amount of sense. Whirl, Scoop and Armada Starscream (and by the looks of him, Tankor) are all decent but flawed figures that have transformations that don't vary hugely from the originals. Rhinox, Centuritron and Rattrap seem to be substantially more complex. There's a visible divide in style and complexity within the line.

After taking the time to digest all this, I think it's too early to call ruined forever, but I have major concerns. Archer has been the steward of the Transformers brand for many great years. We got Classics, we got good video games, good television and good comics (no thank you dream wave). The guy was honestly one of us - a passionate fan.

With him and others, what have we lost? We can speculate, but we'll never truly know. We can suspect that years of Transformers experience went out the door with them... which could translate to toy design taking a hit. Surely, some old faces are still there, and others can step up to the plate.

We may lose brilliant opportunities for story-telling and cross-promotional branding stuff. FOC definitely would be a much different game without them initially turning down the idea of space dinosaurs. What will the next high moon transformers title be like?

Whirl's legs are turds, I know that. And now that I have Leader Grimlock in had, I'm underwhelmed. Leader Prime though, pretty good so far. There's going to be a mixed bag, just as there always is. We can't just say this one is from the old team, this one is from the new team, because the old have their share of turds too (PCC Rallybots). We cannot truly know.

Smart companies regularly bring in new talent. Hasbro still likely has talented people there on the transformers team. As long as they continue to be fun, I'll continue to buy them. But damn, Archer and crew will be missed, and now every time I pick up a transformer, I'll wonder what could have been.

Non-Attendee registration is now open for those can't make it to BotCon this year. Click here to visit the BotCon 2014 page and get started.

Hello Everyone!

Non-Attending registration is now open. There is a limited number of non-attending sets available. When we run out, at a later date we will load the leftover attending sets (if available) into non-attending as we must keep those in stock for fans that want to travel to the event.

So, if you don't get a non-attending set now, we will let you know in the future when (if any) additional sets become available.

These sets will ship 3-4 weeks after the staff returns from BotCon. Also, note that the Priority Mail number of days listed in the shipping section is the service the Post Office offers and not a guarantee that the items will come in that number of days. All Priority Mail is a 2-5 day service and can actually take longer than that.

Please go to BotCon.com and click the registration button.

See you in Pasadena!

Good luck on the custom class figure. I was tempted to add that on, but decided to wait and see instead, in the event it's something unrelated to "Classics", such as a Shattered Glass character.

Probably not, the attendee window to get them was registration. They have have saved like, 5 for walk ups? :lol:

They always do save a decent amount of sets as unsold so they can do QC swaps. I've only had to swap something out once at the show but I was sure glad it wasn't an issue. That's one thing they do very well lately.
