TFWorld2005 have a nice round up from the Transformers Collectors Club Panel, which included the comment that they may look at releasing other unreleased toys, such as the Generation Two Stunticons.
-
Transtech comic is not building up to a big payoff, but not a Crisis on Infinite Cybertrons.
- The theme of the story is a political conflict rather than a military
one - Optimus and Megatron on that world are like leaders of political
parties.
- Prose stories - Two more are planned for the Transtech Universe -
Withered Hope, featuring the E Hobby Gobots, who are Bugbite's crew,
and I Lowtech, a story with Nick Roche providing the illustrations.
- They will then be moving on to Shattered Glass Prose, and where
possible, we are getting some elements of the AFD jokes. The first is
Dungeons and Dinobots, a sample picture was shown with Grimlock saying
"Quite the precarious predicament, wot?". There will be two more strips
in addition to this one and a Club Exclusive Shatteredverse toy.
- Speaking of Shattered Glass, you too can own a Shattered Glass
Nemesis Prime! Brian joked that the Classics Ultra Magnus would fit the
bill, and also be the happiest buy you know.
- The Nightbeat comic is currently in limbo, it is planned as a pack in
with the club toy. A Nightbeat profile like the Cyrotek one is also
coming soon.
- There is also some sort of fiction planned for the Seacons, but they are currently uncertain on what.
- It is highly unlikely that the staff will combine the cons, simply
because A) we're Transformers fans not Joe fans, and there are Joe fans
who are not Transformers fans, so it would be counterproductive because
then for most people it would not feel like "their" con. B) It would be
twice the work for the staff.
- The possibility of adding souvenir figures to the pre-reg forms to
cut down on the time queueing was raised - Fun Publications will
consider it, contact them to voice your support if you like this idea.
- Once again the question of online registration was raised, the staff
explained that hand-written faxed forms means a person looks at it and
can interpret, unlike on an electronic form where there is no such
leeway. Also, the costs of setup were raised, especially since the
structure changes for every convention that they do.
- Energon packages (entry to all events like a Primus package but
without toys) may be kept. Again, contact Fun Publications to voice
your opinion on if they should stay or not.
- About this year's figures - it was a gamble, they did not expect it
to sell like it did. They tried to get the number of sets raised, but
it was too late. In future they are working to take registration before
they have to give final numbers, to better gauge the numbers. However,
it is a good thing when the sets sell out, because it means they have
done their job and will be able to make more sets in future. In
particular, if demand reached the 4-5000 range, it would help with
Takara Tomy, who are reluctant to do the runs. They will also not limit
sales of sets to individuals because it hurts their ability to sell
out, they don't want sets over. However at the same time, they want
everyone to be able to buy the sets at the original price not Ebay
prices.
- The reason that non-attendee sets got cut first is that the majority
of sales were for attending sets - hence catering to the demand.
- On the subject of Takara Tomy, they apparently hiked the price on the production of the exclusives.
- Next year's set may be another new idea for Transformers - the idea of Zombie Transformers was batted around by the staff.
- Blurr got a remolded head, because Brian Savage did not like the
original head. In retrospect he noted that if he was redoing the head,
he should really have looked for a different toy for the body.
- Nightbeat was chosen for the club exclusive over Elita-1 because it
was thought that he would sell better, and also because Airazor did not
sell as well as they had hoped.
- Talking about Piranacon, the team suggested that if people were in
favour of it they might go back and redo other older unreleased toys,
for example, the Generation 2 Stuntacons.
