BotCon Metalhawk toy & comic image

[griffin]

FunPub have tweeted a couple images for this year's BotCon, featuring Metalhawk - one of the Boxset figures - as a finished toy (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/first-look-botcon-2012-metalhawk-inhand/24409/), and a panel from this year's BotCon comic (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/botcon-2012-invasion-comic-panel/24405/).

And do you think there is a reason for them using Targetmaster Scoop in both images? A hint to a future Club toy or just a red herring?

If it does end up being a future Club toy, which recent toy(s) would work as a redeco of Scoop (http://www.tfu.info/1988/Autobot/Scoop/scoop.htm)?
Classics/Energon Bonecrusher (http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/ClassicsBonecrusher/bonecrusher.htm)? With a couple PCC Minicons?

I'd not assume an appearance means a toy but rather an artist getting in a character they like. (And guess which of those characters is most likely to die in battle first...)

If they were going to do Scoop? Since they like deluxes, Landmine (http://www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/Landmine/landmine.htm)is an obvious choice.

Also from FunPub, through their facebook page, the boxset with the toys in it (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1096132&l=f3f45d5c38&id=247519665288500). (the cover of the box has been revealed before, so this isn't anything exciting)
