Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, The Gobots! Dun-dun-dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuuuuuuun... Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!

 

[Donocropolis]

I absolutely love the Guardian flag. A+. No notes.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

I like that Smallfoot, but probably not enough to pick up the other two, sadly.

Shelves be getting full, and I already skipped Bugbite.

EDIT: If Pathfinder was in her classic colors instead of her funpub colors, I'd be all over this.

I'll be interested to see what price these are, but I really want at least one set!

Also, yeah, need a new Turbo to compete with Crasher!

Spin-Out is probably a decent stand in....

I like this little set. I think because I've been doing this so long, these new character concepts are ticklin' my pickle a bit more than another retread of Gears or Warpath or even Cosmos.

You'll get your Turbo, but as a straight redeco of Legacy Breakdown like this:

You'll get your Turbo, but as a straight redeco of Legacy Breakdown like this:

I mean...a combiner made of Gobots decos would be okay in my book. For that matter, the next Devastator in colors inspired by Turbo and Destro would also be an acceptable answer, so ?

Oh, but, I meant you'll only get Turbo by himself and no other components.

Turbo and Destro

GoBots meets Cobra?

I assume it will be available on Pulse, yes?

It's a Hasbro product, so I don't see why not.

Watch this be the one thing Hasbro doesn't put on Pulse at all, to say nothing about the 12 they usually put up.

*Knock knock* "Konnichiwa. I am a representative of Bandai. I would like to interest you in this little cease and desist I have for you..."

We know the basic idea has always been:

Hasbro owns the GoBots Names and Fiction. Bandai owns the original looks and toy designs. (And WB through Hanna Barbera probably has some cartoon-specific rights)

That all makes logical sense.

What doesn't is the IDW GoBots comic series licensed by Hasbro a few years back now. I remember it throwing everyone for a loop when it used all the original character looks and designs that we thought Hasbro had no rights to and their Legal Dept. would never let them use for anything for fear of Bandai lawsuits (and ironically used none of the original story/backstory that we know they do own).

That series should never have been able to happen in the format it did given what everyone has thought we knew about the rights. And maybe I missed it but I've never seen an explanation for how it happened.


-ZacWilliam, I'm not saying it changes anything with the prevailing 'we'll never get "on original model" Gobots from Hasbro' wisdom but it does seem to suggest things aren't as set in stone as you'd expect.
