Unless they do something different with Cyclonus, why do a Botcon exculsive Targetmaster? The regular release came with the targetmaster partner.

Really? would never have guessed.
I'd prefer two of Snarl, Sludge and Slag/whatever they could call him now.
Just thought that the continuing popularity of Grimlock and Swoop would see their use, plus that would give the set "named characters" so then lesser known or region exclusive or comic exclusive characters could be used for the other set members.
"distant past" huh? has anyone checked the g1 episodes for any possible characters from there? seems like they have a bit of room to play with here. a g1 sentinal prime perhaps? ironhide/ratchet body maybe? just putting this one out there fellas.
I feel the Urge for a Pretender set:D
For some reason distant past makes me think of Orion Pax. They could reuse the Kup mold like they did with the Ehobby G1 reissue. He'd fit in great with Botcon Alpha Trion and TFCC Dion.
3 are getting their first updates ever. I'm thinking
Skids
Hoist (If they're not doing a Trailbreaker they must have access to the mold)
These guys instantly come to mind but there are others of course...
The Orion Pax idea is very plausible as the cartoon has massive influence with Funpub and most US fans. However at the same time, they have been known to go beyong geewun and giving us some good stuff from the Marvel G1 universe.
