40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

[Undead Scottsman]

So Hasbro posted the next Haslab reveal is happening on the 30th of January...

and then promptly took down the announcements.

So who knows what's going on! Figured I'd make a thread incase the message comes back.

I think they took it down because the initial promo showed an 11AM eastern time but it's actually 10AM.
Come on CYBERTRON!

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Yeah, they appear to be back up now.

Titan class Daniel Witwicky with removable jumpsuit that can be worn by an actual child.

Batteries not included for built-in boy-crying sound effects.

I don't know if I'm hoping for a giant Mt. St. Hilary / The Ark playset or not. I mean, it's what I want, but I also probably couldn't afford it, so I'm torn. I highly doubt that that is what it would be anyway, so the point is moo (like, a cow's opinion).

 

[The Predaking]

I am hoping for a playset.

Great minds! I would totally get one though, and redesign my entire display around it!

 

[Sabrblade]

We at least know three things that it won't be:

1. It won't be an Optimus Prime,
2. It won't be a gun-mode Megatron,
3. And it won't be yet another Victory character.

Spike would take titan class while his son takes commander class, Spike would come with his few lines from the 86 movie including his "Oh S***!"

Titan-class Gilthor confirmed?

 

[Platypus Prime]

They said 'kicking' so it must be a HasLab Kicker, that will come with a large Star Saber to surf on.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

If I had to pick something that I think it could be, that I would want I don't know...

Playsets seems like a huge Not-Gonna-Happen-Ever. (I'd love a Smelting Pool from the Marvel Comic but that's happening on the west side of never.)

Characters that would get me excited my first thought is Big Red but that's almost certainly too obscure.

The only thing I can think off the top of my head is a much better Metroplex.


-ZacWilliam, I mean yeah I might want Primus because I have Unicron but then doing one to scale seems fairly unlikely, as that size feels like a one time thing.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Improved Metroplex with small transforming Signal Lancer that installs at an 'intersection' just to drive people nuts. And a small parking space with nothing in it except a gaffitti'd splash saying 'Towline was here and now you aren't'.

 

[Sabrblade]

In all seriousness, I'm hoping it's something that'll be nowhere near as big and expensive as Unicron was. That was a lot of money, and I can't imagine anyone being happy to drop that much from their bank accounts a second time. Or even a first time if Unicron was deemed too expensive.

 

[Superomegaprime]

I doult it will be Primus, as Unicron was a hard sell, all I can think of, is:
1. Play sets for Ark & Nemesis scenes
2. Metroplex directly based on the G1 desgin and the normal bells and whisles these days for large figures
3. God Grini (get around the Optimus prime no go for Haslab
4. RID Omega prime, AKA RID Optimus prime & Ultra Magnus
5. Halonix Maximus (the Hologram from Heavy Metal War)

This is made presuming that this year's Haslab is going to be a Autobot as the last one was a Decepticon

Do a Kicker with a Star Wars Black Series mold and I think it could sell. People would be upset about scale though.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

It's remarkable that we have something this big coming and there have been no leaks about it.

 

[Sciflyer]

It's gonna be Overlord. Please let it be Overlord...

 

[MrBlud]

I feel like Omega Prime or Metroplex are probably pretty likely.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Omega Prime makes a lot of sense. The main argument against it is that we think Primes are off the table for HasLabs, but that's a policy that could change any time they want, if it was ever a concrete policy in the first place.
