The Twincast Podcast Presents: Generations Toy TFCC / Botcon Bingo
Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2023 8:59 amThere have been several toys released in the past few years of the Generations line-up that have taken older, sometimes quite desirable Botcon and TFCC (either incarnation of either) toys of the past as inspiration, such as Legacy's Sandstorm repaint of Scorponok. Others have provided true Classics/Generations versions of characters that were previously only available as repaints through the club, like the recent release of Legacy's Needlenose.
As time goes on, more and more of the old Botcon and Club toys feel more and more obsolete. We were talking on the Twincast recently and had a thought that we should make bingo cards for folks to have fun while anticipating upcoming toy announcements and reflecting on fun stuff released in the past.
I've gone through and made some, with the items present reflecting those Botcon and TFCC toys that, as of this writing, have not had an updated remake or direct homage released as a toy since approximately the start of the Titans Return toy line. It's done roughly by character, so if there were multiple versions of something over the years (like G2 Breakdown) it's still only on there once. Arbitrary criteria? Absolutely, but it can't be stressed enough that this is just for fun!

Once you've done that and have it generated, post a reply here with the link to your unique card, and be sure to let the thread know when you've got a bingo! I'll put a list of the call items in this main post as time goes on - if leaks and rumors are to be believed, some folks are going to get to check off some squares really quickly.
If I've made a mistake and included something that did have an update in Titans Return or a later line, then no big deal, enjoy the extra free space! If you want to debate the methodology, save it. There are no prizes and we're just having fun here.
Good luck, have fun and let's see how long it takes for someone to hit bingo!

I think I'd have to pay the bingo site to make these non-random on that platform so this is the super-mega-serious official list
