Yeah I was just about to ask "Wasn't there supposed to be another Hasbro panel on Sunday? Can anyone report news from that?"

Must have been from the Sunday panel, which only Ender attended. He had a hard time getting a connection up and had a red-eye flight, so hopefully he can share notes today

Your right I missed that one. I want to see how he looks first, if they do release his leader class.

EDIT: Found it! Through all of the insanity, this was accidentally moved to the Animated discussion (WTF!?)

I love how the staff reposted this, but didn't bother to change the fact that Lockdown is for the MOVIE line, not animated, and that Deluxe Ratchet's EMP will fit on his arm.
