Ok then how come pre beast tigetron has a beast head?
It's pre BW but it is post many of them choosing animal forms, e.g. Skylynx, Steeljaw or animalistic pretender forms like Longtooth so it's not something from left of field. Wouldn't you love a tiger's head for a head?

Oh boy. I am infinitely sorry for being a tease, but this is for good reason. Its best those who havent seen that particular head at every angle to remain in lalaland for a few more hours. But prepare for an outcry come later when the pics of these toys are posted. Like with the camera mode, that tiger head is quite the let down.
On the other hand, I cant wait to see that Megatron! Apparently, its the best looking thing this year and lives up to the hype!

So is Reflector a botcon exclusive or is botcon just offering 3 of these translucent guys as a combiner like Reflector?
Reflector is a botcon exclusive, hasbro had planned on releasing him at retail a few years ago with shockwave being the retool. They didn't release it, nor do they intend to - it may have had something to do with the camera mode (apparently) looking like utter crap

Of course it does, this is life or death concerns we're talking about hereDr Va'al wrote:Psst: It really doesn't matter.
I would agree and my first thought was also Jhiaxus. Just based on old evil dudes that experiment on stuff. I dig that crazy bastard, gotta love a good old fashioned mad scientist!Mindmaster wrote:Wouldn't surprise me if he were a version of Jhiaxus, honestly. That'd be dope.

Here is the deal:
Botcon is offering aset of 3 non translucent reflectors which can combine to make a crappy looking camera (allegedly).
They also gave a clear plastic version of this reflector figure for golden ticket holders.
This will not be releases at retail. However, it uses the exact same mold as shockwave (shockwave is a retool of reflector) and if anyone wants that camera 4 cheap, they can do it using 3 shockwaves. It will be revleaed tonight, right here on Seibertron!

Wait, what? The Reflector that Hasbro had planned to release years ago was from the Perceptor mold, not the Shockwave mold. We've heard nothing of any plans for Hasbro to release this new Shockwave mold Reflector.Hellscream9999 wrote:YoungPrime wrote:Wait!

The one from "a few years ago" that never came out was the Perceptor mold, whose new head only got released as e-HOBBY Generations Magnificus. This Shockwave molded Reflector I can see being a scrapped planned design like you say, but not from "a few years ago".Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Wait, what?

I dunno, a bunch of people who know more than I do said that this was an intended design, part of the missing gap of targetmaster legends class figures or something, but that hasbro scrapped it, and that shockwave was the planned retool. If that's wrong, you should straighten it out with whomever conveyed it to us...

Yeah, its not from a few years ago. However it has been said by everyone who is in the know that the Shockwave we got was a planned retool of a 3 pack Reflector that would have connected as a cybertronian camera. It was supposed to be a retail release. I was told that language laws got in the way but I really dont get that since it didnt stop other releases. Anyways, it was planned for release last year with the other combiner wars stuff. Supposedly, the camera can be held by Devastator. It would also explain why the handle doesnt seem to be made with the initial purpose of being held as a gun.
That tigertron head is AWEFUL!
It looks like the dried shriveled up foreskin of a botched circumcision. And why does Tigertron have NO STRIPES?
**** you FunPub! You suck. You have made nothing put ugly figures with horible colors, and God aweful head sculpts for years now.
Even that Megatron head looks like ass.
Why did I just waste all that money I could have spent on cool figures?
DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!!
