I was looking up some stuff about the dinobots when I came across this:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-fan-art/240499-botcon-2010-ideas-digibashes.html
This guy has made a bunch of botcon set ideas. These are very clever and I think some could come to light! :)
Which are your faves?
I personally like Animated Bulkhead as Gnaw and Animated Swindle as Hound.
Note that this is not my own work.'
Here are some:

Very sorry about the large pics. Please note that I do not own these pictures and this is not my work or property. Just thought I'd share it with y'all.:D

We've discussed before (3 years ago (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=6826&highlight=Botcon). 3 years?! Where'd the time go) but well worth revisiting. There's great ideas there, many better than what's come the last few years.

Yes please.... although first aid looks more than likely to crush and kill his patients than cure/fix them with big brutish looking hands like that :p

I really like Gnaw. He rocks. Fort Max is pretty creative as well. :D
Paradron set doesn't look to bad either.

All they can think of now is Shattered Glass whatever. I haven't seen these before. Snaptrap is quite inspired! The only problem I see is that while the colours look good in robot mode, they might be a mismatch in vehicle mode. Needlenose for example would look strange I think.

Another great idea for botcon would be for funpub to get their crap togther.

Oh yeah, I always gotta stick the knife!!

Looks like Hasbro/TFCC/KO-er's have taken this poor guy's ideas on Artfire, Clench, Breakdown, Skybyte, Diaclone OP, Black Sideswipe, Blue Bumblebee, Doublepunch, and Autotroopers.

Would really like a Classicsverse Skram, Quake, Landfill and Omega Spreem -- those last 3 are excellent uses for moulds I easily passed on at first.

I would like that Gnaw or Fort Max and this guy's getting nothing for these ideas. Hasblo.
I considered the TFCC today, but a $40 increase for international!?!?!?!?
Really?!?
Who cares, I don't even like Depthcharge that much.

Yep, TFCC only goes by USPS Priority Mail International, as opposed to using USPS First Class International which is around $16-20. Priority has better sender assurance because its tracked and confirmed, and gets here 6-10 business days, however I have never had an issue with First Class, which has always arrived within 10 business days as well.

The Terradive mould makes for great Cyberjets, but not Depthcharge. Depthcharge really needs more beef, and that upper body frame just does not work out. Can you imagine that little guy going up against BW Rampage! ;)

I love both sets of animated digibashes. These are great ideas, would offset the stunticons really well, the only difficulty with this sort of design is it's very dependent on the spru layouts and part layouts on the sprues as to what colours differnt parts of the figures can be molded in. one of the reasons why they never used animated wreck-Gar for motormaster.
