Our plans for 2020 were as amazing as Optimus Prime. But then 2020 came like Hot Rod.

Hey you, get moving, it's not too far, you're looking good so come as you are. Hey you, you never know what you'll see, when it's through that door with the 73.

Hey you, get ready, get on your feet. Get into gear and hit the street.
@  Maximus Ambus : (11 July 2020 - 12:46 PM)

I recall number 73 (old british show) discussing the Transformers movie and had the presenters trying to transform a few figures, one argued his deflated beach ball was a Transformer too.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (11 July 2020 - 08:03 AM)

And he's a big ball, but he's not the biggest ball of them all. (That'll be Pulse Unicron.)

Okay?
@  Otaku : (09 July 2020 - 07:47 AM)

@TheMightyMollusk Ah, but the series itself has pronounced "Bass" both ways. ;)  Oh, 90s English Capcom video game voice acting...
@  Maximus Ambus : (09 July 2020 - 03:14 AM)

Looking at my Titan Returns collection I can see they realised they didn't have to paint the Titan Masters after wave one, lazy bums.
@  Maruten : (08 July 2020 - 09:13 PM)

No, I'm going with "fish".
@  TheMightyMol... : (08 July 2020 - 04:19 PM)

He stated that it's in reference to the Mega Man character, so it follows the series' tradition of music names.
@  Cybersnark : (08 July 2020 - 03:59 PM)

The real question is if it's "bass" as in music or "bass" as in the fish.
@  Otaku : (08 July 2020 - 01:27 PM)

Well, at least now I know how to pronounce @Bass X0 's screen name. ^^'  Rather, I think I'd just forgotten.  In my defense, it really does look like an emoticon or maybe just "decoration", which is what a lot of folks add to their screen names online.  Usually because someone has the name they really want. XD
@  ▲ndrusi : (08 July 2020 - 01:27 PM)

Extremely unimpressed with your idea that someone making a negative observation you don't like means they "got triggered."
@  NotVeryKnightly : (08 July 2020 - 11:16 AM)

You know somebody asked "And this would be in relation to... what exactly?"
@  Bass X0 : (08 July 2020 - 11:15 AM)

Its because someone got triggered over my random musings instead of just ignoring them. If I read one of your comments that is of no relevance or interest to me, I don't feel the need to say so.

@  Tm_Silverclaw : (08 July 2020 - 06:34 AM)

@  Nevermore : (08 July 2020 - 06:11 AM)

How do you pronounce yourself? "Bass Ex-O" or "Bass Ex-Zero"?
@  Bass X0 : (08 July 2020 - 03:23 AM)

I did almost go with Vile Bass X0, because Vile is cool too.

And its not Bass XO, its Bass X0, as in Bass, X and Zero from the Mega Man series.

@  Trpodeca : (07 July 2020 - 02:12 PM)

Man I just learnt about what seemed like a really cool show, only to realize it was a dream and it dosen't really exist.
@  Bass X0 : (07 July 2020 - 01:02 PM)

Just something I read that I wanted to share. I heard "gray rock" mentioned in a video, so I looked it up and that was the definition.
@  TheMightyMol... : (07 July 2020 - 12:20 PM)

It's a fancy way of saying "Ignore annoying people".
@  NotVeryKnightly : (07 July 2020 - 12:15 PM)

Bass XO has a habit of pasting random drivel here as if doing so were profound.
@  wonko the sane? : (07 July 2020 - 11:30 AM)

And this would be in relation to... what exactly?
@  Bass X0 : (07 July 2020 - 11:25 AM)

"One strategy for dealing with a narcissist or sociopath is to act like a "gray rock," meaning that you become uninteresting and unresponsive. You don't feed their needs for drama or attention. You don't show emotion, say anything interesting, or disclose any personal information"
@  Nevermore : (06 July 2020 - 07:23 PM)

Oh wow. Studio Series Offroad Bumblebee is awesome. His articulation is amazing.

Oof-
@  Maximus Ambus : (05 July 2020 - 01:10 AM)

I got Studio Series 39 Cogman yesterday and woke up to find he'd decapitated my titans returns figures.

@  Maximus Ambus : (04 July 2020 - 01:47 PM)

So the Emperor in episodes 1 through 6 was a clone?
@  ▲ndrusi : (04 July 2020 - 10:47 AM)

All right folks. Let's keep it on topic.


Ah, that's my fault. Posted while tired and pissy, plus lost a way more elaborate and open-minded post before that.

I shouldn't have re-derailed this thread after it was finally back on topic. Apologies for that. My two kids and wife of 15 years also apologize. (They don't.)

Anyway, what is that Starscream supposed to be? A take on Cybertron Starscream?

No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.

If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.

Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.

If it helps, Trent Troop did it, you can paint it and attach it to a Titan Master to make your own!  Here's his two-pack, and he has other variations too.

What are the rules for which molds Botcon can use, anyway? Are they required to only use molds that have had a recent retail release?

i dont think so?

2016 Megatron was made from Car robots Gigatron. a toy made in 1999.

although, i suspect that mold might have been easier to dig out of the archives since Takara was already in that section of warehouse looking for the Fire Convoy and God Magnus molds for the encore release.

assuming toolings of similar eras would be archived together of course.

IIRC, rules were changing all the time as the years went on.

 

One rule I do recall being basically set in stone from 2007-onward was the "No molds based on designs owned directly by Paramount" rule, meaning none of the onscreen movie characters (or any offscreen movie characters that Paramount designed) could have their molds used by Fun Pub.

Yeah if a tool was scheduled in a production run during the window a BotCon exclusive needed to be made, the retail production won out.

As far as I remember this only affected the Seeker mold during the time the Generations Coneheads were being made.

Other than that, the brand team always had different rules. Since the members of the brand team were constantly changing.

So, uh......I know this is a bit of "thread necromancy", but the other thread is locked, and I think I need to post about this here.

I know this is a bit polarizing....but I feel this is for the best. Tonight, I'll be having Pete on my channel. I have no desire to softball him, nor do I want to pull punches. I know people are concerned with his involvement with the new BotCon; and they have their reasons. I haven't had the best "relationship" with him either. We didn't get along when we talked either. But I want to try give you guys a voice in this too. I want to put you guy's hardest hitting questions in front of him and see what he does. 

 
He's claimed that he's not like he used to be, and if that's true, I think the community as a whole needs to see it. 
 
If he's lying, and has not changed, we need to see THAT too.
