BotCon 2014 Theme Update: Pirates vs. ?

Pirates

VS

Beast Hunters

Seriously, I want my S3 Deluxe Bee & Smokey!!!

I will reiterate, who they're against might be some kind of Autobot Navy. Think Elite Guard. After all real pirates used to fight imperial navies and stuff

Ninjas.

They are the natural enemy of the Pirate.

Ninja's.

It is destiny.

Aww, but I wanted nothing but pirates.

I really am legitimately interested in the exclusives.

Between the two, my vote goes to ninjas!

VS... Space Gangsters...? nah, now they have to do Ninjas, you can´t top Ninjas.

Pirates vs BEAST MACHINES!!!!

Pirates vs Cowboys

or

Pirates vs Sea Monsters

Pirates vs. Ponies

vs. Werewolves, on the moon.

Or maybe plants.

Of course. Why wouldn't they be?

By the way, not that it really matters, but I did mention ninjas first.

Oh wow, did you invented Ninjas?... just kidding. I just remembered the epic battle between Juan Cena and the Invisible Ninja Werewolfs on The Moon.

Spanish anyone?

Pirates vs...

Geishas!

How nice. Finally a more original theme for a Botcon that I can't attend. However, as long as the exclusives continue to be as available as they've been for the past few years, I'm not stressed about not being able to attend again. Hopefully this is another theme that I continue to like and others begin to hate.

Pirates vs. ninja dinosaurs and ninja dragons and a very angry ninja dragon/werewolf and it's army of ninja beast to ninja beast Transformers...ninja.

Ninja, ninja rap. Go ninja, go ninja, GO!

Pirates vs. Accountants

Pirates vs. Lawyers

Alright, so we've all agreed that it should be Pirates vs. Ninja-Werewolf-Ponies. Best Botcon ever

Ninja Werewolves, yes. Ponies? No!

Also: Pirates versus Pilates, anyone?

Pirates vs sea monsters actually really solid awesome idea. Zombies would also play out pretty well in deep space. Hmmm

PIRATES!

VS,

ZOMBIE NINJA COWBOYS!!!!

Pirates vs a giant floating omnipotent ham and cheese sandwiches with olives on toothpicks for eyes possible drinking a glass of orange juice with a little sword in it.

I've got it!

Dan vs Pirates!

You know you want the Mach Kick mold.

Or Battle Unicorn/Magna Stampede.

Pirates vs. the flying spaghetti monster...

Pirates VS. ROBOTS!

Oh wait...

We're werewolves on the Moon, we carry a harpoon!

I've seen some astounding TF/Pony mash-ups. I'm am totally on-board with this. Magna Stampede leading a whole contingent of meched-out Pony warriors against evil robot pirates... it doesn't get much better than that!

Screw ninja-werewolves! I was running one of those characters 20+ years ago in a D&D campaign. That's old news to me.

pirates vs the elite guard!

pirates vs the Orion Syndicate
or vs Plumbers

It actually happens that there has been a post-Beast Machines story that featured an army of Battle Unicorns being led by BM Longhorn as the Maximals' answer to the Vehicons, only with slightly more autonomy and were used to battle a Sharkticon swarm. They served as the best of the best, both as polish intimidating soldiers and as the mighty steeds that were rode into the battle by themselves (think like how Junkions can ride each other).

it's ninjas. the whole pirate vs ninja thing is a tale as old as time, plus there's a LOT of good ninja bots.

It's clearly Pirates vs Global Warming.

Pirates vs a chest filled with cursed gold coins!

Hmm...at 1st I scoffed at the Ninjas being the other group, but now that you said that, it doesn't sound ridiculous. There ARE some good ninjabots, including Sixshot and Drift. But then it means it can't be a clear-cut good vs. evil theme.

I'm gonna be really disappointed if Hasbro passes up the opportunity to get a redeco of the new Generations Rattrap as a new pirated theme rodent-former named PiRAT

This thread is very entertaining. I like the Pirates Vs. Zombies theme using the Terrorcon Cliffjumper mold. Even though Silas Breakdown and BH Ratchet technically have monocles, that doesn't mean they can't be painted to be eyepatches.

I really hope it isn't zombies. TF: Prime and Infestation have worn me out on those.

This ain't going to happen but imagine,

PIRATES
VS

Autobots AND Decepticons!

Basically make this a three faction war with the pirates being a murky in-between group.

Kinda like what's already going on with the Star Seekers in the Aligned Continuity.

I don't think the TFP Terrorcons were zombies, more like revenants.

...Despite the show actually and canonically calling them "zombies"?

I Can call a ham a potato, but that doesn't make it so.

If you wrote a story or starred in a story that had a ham being referred to as a potato, that would be true for said story because you'd be presenting it as a fact for that story's reality.

TF: Prime also refers to its zombies as "Terrorcons" despite other TF works defining the term "Terrorcon" quite differently, yet what TF: Prime defines as a "Terrorcon" is true for that show even if other TF works say otherwise.

I'm thinking more of what zombies actually are, I'm just going with the most well known zombie types here.

1. Corpses reanimated by a bokor that are completely subservient to the baker's will because they lack their own. The Terrorcons might be mindless, but they have their own will to well rip apart anything.

2. The Haitian kind created by a witch doctor through pharmaceutical enslavement. That doesn't really fit them either.

3. And the best kind, the Romero type zombies. Consumed with the need to feed on flesh which in turn causes their infection to spread. Now the original Terrorcons don't fit this definition at all. The Silas type of Terrorcons are more like vampires than zombies, though they do spread the infection.

What's a "bokor"?
