I didn’t get to BotCon 2011 until Sunday, so I wasn’t present during the Hasbro Panel. Nevertheless, I did gather a lot of pics from that one day that I did attend.
Let’s start with some Hasbro Masterpieces!

Hey folks, BotCon is on at the Pasadena Convention Center this weekend. With Transformers: Dark of the Moon (you can check out one of the trailers on Hasbro’s Transformers site – wow!) less then a month away, you can expect that it will be action-packed. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that Sandman will have a chance to stop by.
In celebration, we’re holding a special Free Stuff giveaway – a Transformers Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime preview action figure – kindly provided by the Hasbro PR team. To keep it simple, leave a reply on this post. Just tell us what you’re looking forward to in the movie or what you want to see in the Transformers toy line. A week from today, we’ll select a lucky commenter at random from those of you in the continental United States, and contact you via email for your address. That’s it!

Canonball is back with another guest review. This time around he’s got his hands on a Transformers Windcharger – one that may not see a broad release in the US. He was last here with a review of Titanium Man from Iron Man Legends. Check out his blog at Canonball’s Run.
With the “Reveal the Shield” line winding down, there is a lot of speculation regarding the possibility of a few key figures not seeing a US brick and mortar retail release. Chief among them is the scout-class Windcharger – I was able to get my hands on one thanks to some help from a UK-based Fwoosher. Windcharger is a member of the original Ark crew, making him an essential G1 character, the likes of which many fans go nuts for. Despite being one of the original Transformers characters released in 1984, Windcharger hasn’t seen many releases since his debut in 1984, so this update is welcome and arguably long overdue.

We’re just under four months to go before Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters (on July 1), and that’s just enough time to kick off sixteen weeks of promotion for the movie and its accompanying toys. Optimus Prime, naturally, is the first figure from Dark of the Moon to hit shelves, and it will come with some glasses that will let you check out your favorite Transformers in 3D on Hasbro’s Transformers website.
That’s a nice tie-in for the movie, which should be a 3D extravaganza, but those glasses (of the red and blue variety) won’t be the same kind that will work in the theater. But Hasbro also plans on releasing Transformers role play gear in partnership with Real3D that will work in the movies (but not on the Hasbro website). I already have 3D equipment built into my head – I can’t wait for the technology that will display 3D images without the need for glasses of any kind. 🙂
