If they're classics figures - then hell - I'd love to get one of all - but I... don't have a credit card :(
aaandd.... are we starting to speculate on the moulds they would use?
Have a few ideas... but unsure if this is the right section :D

damm, now im going to have to get them if theyre not animated :S
and i was going to stop buying for a while.......
since this is my first botcon as a collector, do we get to see some of the figs before ordering, or do we order knowing the characters and just hope we like them?
My two cents:
Elite Guard is an Animated term
Autobots and Decepticons never lived alongside each other in G1 without the war.
Animated Ultra Magnus would make a good Thunderclash
Animated Deluxe Cybertron-mode Optimus Prime would make a good Kup
Animated Lockdown has a vehicle mode that could be a Landshark
Animated Deluxe or Voyager Megatron turns into wedge like flying vehicle that could be made into a Scourge
For me, Flak's the only one a clear Animated toy doesn't spring to mind.
I (very disappointingly) don't think it's Animated. From what I've heard from a few sources, Botcon can't use CURRENT lines/figures.
Also, Brian's post Jan 6th:
So I think it's definitely G1/Classics/Universe Elite Guard, thus.... not Animated :(Quote:
OK, while we are working on finalizing the convention details, brochure and registration forms, we wanted to start the speculation game:
"For one young Autobot..." is all we have revealed so far. While we tend to guard the convention sets and souvenirs closely, I want to let you know that we are very excited about what we have waiting in the wings!
The set we have planned features a team of select Autobots never before featured in G1 in this way. The timeline we are spotlighting is new, yet very familiar...
Let the games begin!
I think we're going to get YET ANOTHER Cybertron Defence Scattorshot in Flak, Energon Mirage/Dreadwing would make a cool Scourge, and I got nuthin' for the rest.
Blitzwing in tank mode. (Shockwave in tank mode would also work, as would Leader Bulkhead, but he'd be too big and expensive for the set.)Quote:

Kup is win-win either way as Animated or Universe!
As a Transfan I agree but I wouldn't blame HasTak for not doing it. When I first saw Scourge in 1986 I thought his alt mode was meant to be a boat. It was only later that I found out that it's meant to be - a flying boat. ;) :p :DQuote:

They look great together!Quote:
