Botcon 2009: Hasbro panels/ New Animated Figures

[JackSkellington991]

*sqee* RODIMUS!!!! I MUST FIND YOU!!!!

[WEBKINZ434343]

howcome on the tag it says "animated Voyager Hydrodive BumbleBee???

[Aerros1]

@WEBKINZ434343 because that's how it willbe packaged if we ever see it

[GunSlimger]

so exactly when will HotRod aka Rodimus Minor be released in the U.S.? and will it be a exclusive like ratchet and arcee?

[Aerros1]

@GunSlimger They will be toysr us exclusives and we will see them later in the year!

[GunSlimger]

@Aerros1 ah SICK i can hardly wait thanks for the info

[SOUNDbiluan13]

do u have to be a club member to buy the botcon figures

[Aerros1]

No, you can buy a non attending botcon set before botcon but after that you got to get them on ebay usaully for jacked up prices

[SOUNDbiluan13]

what do you mean by before botcon cant i buy them at botcon

[SalesKital]

it's Hotrod not rodimus minor unless this takes place after the 1st series where Hotrod became Rodimus Prime, and from there became just plain Rodimus in a later series.(Hotrod/Rodimus = my favorite transformer)

[Aerros1]

The tag says Rodimus Minor as per Hasbro. He's one of my favs too

[SalesKital]

i don't care what the tag says, it's wrong, that is Hotrod.

[Aerros1]

You know that, and I know that. but hasbro lost the rights to the name so now they get around it with Rodimus

[MarvelBoy82]

my favorite transformers as well!!!! I really want to get him in Animated, he looks great

[datsjustprime]

I believe back in the 80's HotRod Magazine had a feud with hasbro for the name Hot Rod. Hot Rod magazine won the rights of the name so They had to change the name to Rodimus minor.. I know it sux but yeah...

[Xone9]

There will be one more figure for the Animated line. They're also gonna release Wingblade Optimus Prime from the final episode. It's basically Voyager class Optimus with a new trailer that converts into the jetpack and twin cannons he used (and yes, he also comes with the Magnus Hammer)

[Xone9]

Correction: Wingblade Optimus will be the deluxe class figure. However, Hasbro confirmed that the armor will also fit Voyager class Prime

[siksky1]

i would have loved to have animated cyclonus or rodimus minor

[siksky1]

how many of these animated r now cancelled?

[SOUNDbiluan13]

hydrodive bumblebee looks alot like g1 cybertron mode bumblebee

[Transformdude97]

if i buy goldfire grimlock i'll make him my original grimlock twin

[crcproductions16]

is the ironhide toy going to be a repaint of the cybertronian ratchet

[Aerros1]

Yes but at least they planned ahead for a different head!

[fealmor]

BLESPHEMY

[DayLateReviewer]

YES! Classics are coming back baby! For the record, I really hope that the newest show doesn't do that. I hate animated. Blurr, Jazz, and Blitzwing were the olny figures I got. Though Ultra Magnus and the dinobots did look appealing.

[BuddyPlatinum]

lol

[TheOtherEthan]

i hate animated all around i have a few activators but i hate the series

[GamaScythe]

Voyager Jetfire, how hard is that? What is Hasbro thinking? Leader Starscream but no Voyager Jetfire? These people have no clue!

[ironbatgambit]

ablas demaciado

[Aerros1]

Well you don't have to watch. Just trying to get the info out there.

[KaraLVRogueLZ]

[Aerros1]

Ya you'll probably see Me talk about it in my Vlogs.

[KaraLVRogueLZ]

[Aerros1]

I'm hoping we will see them by Xmas but we will probably see them in 2010 when universe comes back. But you never know with Hasbro. I am so getting them too :)

[goodfello426]

[goodfello426]

[SuperMyl3z]

[dancecoolest]

[Aerros1]

They did not give us any dates but i suspect they will include them into the the new universe line due out sometime next year

[taua986]

I can't wait tell t r u prececpter and the insecticons come. I am so going to get them!

[Aerros1]

Perceptor is a greay G1. one of the most articulated. and the insecticons just =fun.

[NeiliusPrime]

is animated ironhide a cybertronian vehicle or similar to ratchet's earth-vehicle mode?

[Aerros1]

Cybertron mode ratchet with new paints and new head!

[TheBlackShinigami]

NO WINGBLADE OPTIMUS PRIME

i was looking forward to it after seeign the last episodes D:

but the rest of the toyline soundss aweosme

[Aerros1]

Aww I left it out of this one. I talked about it in another vid But we are getting a deluxe prime with the wingblade accessories that will also be usable by the Voyager Prime

[TheBlackShinigami]

OMG that made my day :D

[Aerros1]

[TheBlackShinigami]

OMG I ALOMST JIZZED IN MY PANTS lol

but i will be lookign forward to it

as well as LEADER STARSCREAM and BLUDGEON

[romxxii]

cool. Personally prefer the deluxe Prime over Voyager; I like how much it showcases Megatron's size over Prime.

[Aerros1]

Great point!

[MacGyver904]

nice update, did they say anything about a premium series or something like that for ROTF?

[Aerros1]

Great question....I couldn't stay for the whole panel on sat so it might have been asked. but i didn't hear about it

[chief888888]

Great update my friend. Really wish i could have gone. The figures look great too. The rodimus is a must have I think!

[Aerros1]

Thanks. There is always next year! A agree I need Rodimus

[knowlsy00]

its a shame theres gonna be no more animated series.

[wesneedshelp]

more universe!!!!! im a happy camper. thanks for the great news.

wes

[zizzlerizzle8707]

awesome update man. cant wait for the ROTF figures in 2010, the retunr of universe. Very happy about Rodimus, love the look of Rodimus, cant wait for him. THe one thing i'm annoyed about is that the target exclusives sound better than the 1 wallmart one in my opinion

[Janayla94]

Damn! No Omega Supreme! Shit! I hope he end's up in the next Transformers series and I hope Hasbro includes him in

wave #1!

[Aerros1]

I'm sure they didn't show us everything. We can only hope for Omega Supreme.

[Rage723]

I can't wait for Rodimus...........Great video

[arlocon]

That just made my day. Thanks.

[JazzTheMeister]
