As an update to our previous Hascon story about the exclusive Magic The Gathering Hasbro cards, we have some clean art for the Transformers one featuring Grimlock - in both robot and dinosaur mode - courtesy of artist Tyler Jacobson and his Facebook page! Check out the king below, and let us know if you'll be trying to grab this set of special cards in the discussion.

Well, this was recently revealed. I got the incredible opportunity to paint Grimlock for the upcoming Magic exclusive at Hascon. I had way too much fun on this one.

This new Arcee.... at first I was all "neat!" but now that I've had time to let it digest... does anyone else feel it's kind of uninspired, unoriginal, kind of boring, and something that could have easily been a main line figure?

Convention exclusives I feel should really speak to the heart of the fandom, giving us stuff that you would never see otherwise. It might be super negative, but it almost feels like the death of niche TF's.

This was most likely meant to be part of one the two cancelled box sets that were to come after the Siege on Cybertron set that's part of why Ultra Magnus here is in die cast (You can tell in the stock images by looking at his titanmaster torso.

This Arcee has more original molded parts here then most Botcon figures or most repaints have in general.

Fair enough, but it doesn't address the fact that the character choice is so obvious and uninspired. JMO though.

Considering that the fandom has been clamoring for a Headmaster Arcee for decades now, I'd say this toy speaks very well to the heart of the fandom, as it's finally giving the fandom something it's wanted for so long now.

Whereas BotCon tended to give the fandom a lot of things that, while nice on there own, no one asked for and were usually desirable only after their existence was made known. By contrast, a Headmaster Arcee toy has been desired long before this toy existed.

Fair point. I just hope imagination isn't thrown by the wayside.

There had to have been a ton of imagination put into all the retooling to make this figure as different from Blurr as it is.

And, once again, it's important to note -- this is not an exclusive. It will be available in stores or online retailers or something at some point, we're just getting it as Hascon first.

You're not getting me. Simply releasing an Arcee is not imaginative. She's an established, non-niche character. It appeals to the masses, not the niche in the fandom. Retooling is now the norm as well, and there's been more extreme examples of retooling than this.

Really? Forgive my ignorance, I haven't been keeping up with the Hascon details. Will she be coming to regular in store retail?

We don't really know how she'll be coming to mass retail, only that she will. It's possible she'll be an exclusive to BBTS or Walgreens or what have you; maybe she'll be released everywhere. All we know is that she's getting sold at Hascon, and then later down the line she'll be sold... somewhere. This is basically like if CW Liokaiser or TR Chaos on Velocitron was sold at a Botcon a few months before coming to where they were normally sold.

Magnus sort of looks like Fangry.

Leinad is a retool of Hyperfire with a new Titan Master head based on Daniel's exosuit helmet, and with a new Arcee face on his back.

Ultra Magnus uses Fangry as a base, but uses the same diecast metal torso as Rodimus Prime and Thunderwing, while keeping Fangry's Titan Master head, and has a new Ultra Magnus face on his back.

I suggested that Arcee was a redecoed Loudmouth before I even heard of the rumors... Nah, couldn't be.

But Leinad and Ultra Magnus are indeed based on Stylor and Fangry respectively, though the card art has Magnus be a composite of the two. Plus, it's suspected they were part of a themed box set, but got split up.

I wouldn't really think so. It's usually at the cons that prices are jacked up, for the sake of "getting it first".

I highly doubt that the retail release would come with the Magnus.

The head sculpt on Arcee is great. The vehicle mode is a little lackluster as far as resemblance to the G1 cartoon.

I'm guessing the Ultra Magnus head will just be an Optimus head in White and Blue.

I love the packaging. I wonder if the wide release version will be in the same packaging or just in the standard packaging?

Earlier images have shown Magnus to be a retool of Fangry, actually. To be precise, he's Siege on Cybertron Thunderwing with a new face plate, thus has the die cast chest as well.

But what face is it? White Prime (probably a recolor of Ginrai) or the proper Magnus head and they've neutered the horns?

In this picture, we can see a silver chin and a blue helmet on the back of Titan Master Ultra Magnus, just as we can see Arcee's pink chin and white helmet on the back Leinad.

Thanks but my point still stands. I have a preorder on a stock image of Targetmaster Hot Rod at BBTS right now that I still don't think has been officially confirmed yet but I can't order Arcee yet.

I'm fairly Takara Legends Targetmaster Hot Rod has been fully confirmed, for all the things they are good at BBTS is pretty bad at updating their photos.

The Arcee we have seen is a Convention Exclusive Set, so no pre-orders for a regular retail release seems logical to me..we don't know what wave it will be a part of and they may not have those waves available for order yet.

I'm not the one to ask though..WJ? Va'al? JelZe? Sabrblade? Anybody?!

What I mean is that it's going to be exclusive to BBTS or something like that because it's not coming through the normal retail channels, as far as we know.

He was the most trendy artist they could book without spending a bunch of money, I guess.

According to Hasbro's Twitter page, Mark Wahlberg will be attending this year's HASCON. The tweet also lets us know his appearance will be on 9/9 specifically so be sure to make a note if you will be attending. If you would like to see who the other special guests are, check this article for details.

Can we get Stan Bush and Marky Mark to sing a duet of The Touch?

I imagine he will probably be there for Autographs only. Cant see him doing a panel, and if he does, it will probably have no Q&A...and if there is, I'm sure the questions will be scrutinized thoroughly before they let any fan near him on a open mic.

Still...what are the odds we could get a crowd-funded *suicide bomber* (metaphorically speaking of course) to act as courteous and professional as possible, then just have an opportunity long enough to shout out loud "The LAST KNIGHT SUCKS!"...the reason for the crowd funding being of course that said person would get kicked out as soon as this happened.

Just to be clear, I have no grievances against Mark Wahlberg himself. I think he is a decent actor. I actually liked AoE to some degree, but TLK was just inexcusable, which I hardly blame Wahlberg for, it just needs to be said, that's all.

I feel the same way.

But then again, maybe he knows already. Ben Affleck knew BvS sucked without any fan telling it to his face :lol:

Considering Mark Wahlberg is done with Transformers I don't think he'd care. Still I wouldn't want to crap on the movie for the new fans that like it or discovered Transformers through it. The prankster in me thinks it would be pretty funny but I'd rather not see people get upset. After all the actors and other staff did put a lot of effort into the movie even if it wasn't directed well.

I'm fairly confident he would not be contractually allowed to disparage the very movie he's there to promote at Hascon.

Also, he probably gets this sort of stuff on his twitter feed or whatever every day. I'm not a fan of him as an actor, but leave him alone; he doesn't need that sort of stuff in his life.
