Who/what is "Broadcast"? A quick search didn't turn up anything...

Is this another case of a Japanese name for a character that differs from the English name? (Like Convoy vs Prime)

That's kinda what I figured...Broadcast sounds like a good name for Blaster.

That'd be cool if he is to be reissued. He's one of the characters I always liked but was never able to get the toy.

I remember see a kitbash (for lack of a better term) that turned the Blaster toy into a working radio.

Which means that a Twincast reissue (the blue-colored incarnation of Blaster/Broadcast from the Japanese Headmasters) won't be too far behind.

I wonder which cassette(s) they'll package with Broadcast.

Ooh! I could go for Twincast! Hope they make Artfire, and a non-tfc Overlord. Then, I'll have the japanese exclusives I want.

Uhm, the Transformers' god? Arch-enemy of Unicron? Transforms into the planet Cybertron? As seen on the Galaxy Force cartoon? Hasbro version already leaked as a test shot and displayed at BotCon?

So they're resissuing a character that is less then a year old or have you got a completely misleading subject line in your post?

And please, don't condescend. It makes you out to be an ass (which you may well be), but it doesn't create for a friendly forum atmosphere. Unfortunately, we can't all be as all-knowing as you and that's just something we'll have to live with.

He didn't. He made the legitimate observation that a certain kind of behaviour can create the impression that somebody is.

World of difference.

There is nothing misleading in my post. HobbyLink Japan have confirmed

1) a ressue of the G1 Blaster toy

2) the Takara version of Primus, who, in toy form, has so far only been confirmed as part of Hasbro's Cybertron line-up.

Wow! What'd you do? I'd imagine it was something quite terrible to get you banned. Yet I can't help but laugh. This is the first time I've seen someone, whom I didn't think would ever get banned be banned. :lol:

Wow! Blaster! He's a ****ing awesome figure!

It is the Action Master, right? And not the stupidly oversized box that stands on four boxes, has two boxes on either side and a comical pinhead on top? Because it'd suck if they put that version out.

Right, that does it. Every single ****ing post I do here will now come with tone-tagging for the simple.
