The New York Comic Con is an annual New York City fan convention. Hasbro occasionally debuts new product at the event, and sometimes various exclusive Transformers merchandise is made for it.
2008
- Thundercracker (Diamond Select, 2008)
- Released by Diamond Select Toys in 2008, Thundercracker was first exclusive to the New York Comic Con and later on offered by online retailer Big Bad Toy Store. He was sculpted by Mark Wong of Art Asylum and limited to 400 pieces.
2010
- IDW Transformers #12
- A variant cover version of IDW Publishing's Transformers ongoing #12 by Casey Coller was available at New York Comic Con 2010.
2011
- Bumblebee and Arcee, Includes Raf Esquivel and Jack Darby
- Arcee is a redeco of Deluxe Class Arcee in pink and white Generation 1 Arcee colors and comes with a New York taxicab Bumblebee and NY-themed Jack Darby and Raf Esquivel figurines. This set was first exclusive to New York Comic Con 2011, then offered through Hasbro Toy Shop.
- Transformers Cuponk
- A Transformers-themed version of Hasbro's Cuponk game was also available at the convention, with leftovers finding their way to Hasbro Toy Shop afterward.
- Bumblebee Nerf Barricade RV-10
- A redeco of the Nerf Barricade RV-10, the Bumblebee Nerf Barricade RV-10 is (surprise!) predominantly yellow and black, and covered in decals depicting panel scans from IDW's Bumblebee comic. The weapon is fully automatic and has a revolving barrel that can hold ten whistler darts.
2012
Pre-NYCC Hasbro Event
MediaWiki was invited to Hasbro's 2012 NYCC Preview Night Party at Studio 450 on Wednesday, October 10, and wiki contributors Thylacine 2000 and Tonyfitz attended.
Coverage
- According to the Hasbro representative at the NYCC Preview Night Party, the black and orange dragon Transformer is Predaking, leader of the Predacons.
- There will be many more Predacon toys than Star Seekers. The latter group was invented in the books and there is "no strong driving force" to really explore them in the toyline. The Predacon faction will be a big deal, with big merch push.
- Predaking himself pretty much confirmed at multiple sizes / pricepoints.
Exclusive
- Clear Energon Bumblebee Kreon
- An exclusive New York Comic Con 2012 handout, this redeco of the Bumblebee Kreon is done entirely in translucent blue plastic, and comes in its own special little window box with an outer sleeve.
2014
Transformers: Robots in Disguise panel
On Thursday of 2014's New York Comic Con, there was a panel on the upcoming Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon. It featured Jeff Kline, Will Friedle, Khary Payton, Mitchell Whitfield and Constance Zimmer.
