That website looks fantastic now and the art for Spark & Clench is so very very good. The Tankor prank was good, Ive been entering in image addresses too because I couldn't wait to see the rest of the figures :D. So long as the website can handle the load when rego opens (and they have made enough sets), Botcon organizers might be copping less rage this year.. eh, who am I kidding.
The BotCon website has been updated to change the name of Streetwise to Streetstar.
http://www.botcon.com/BotCon10/con10stwise-preview.cfm
Not sure why they changed it a day after putting up the preview, or if it wasn't meant to say Streetwise to begin with. Also, there is no word on why they couldn't use 'Streetwise' to begin with, or just call it Autobot Streetwise. Maybe the name is related to the story, as the name Streetstar is the name of the JP Guardcity redeco.
If Clench ends up looking half as good as the artwork, I'm sold.
The more info about this set that comes out, the more I want it but just the thought of how much it will cost on the secondary market is making my wallet cry. :(
Looks like I may be living on instant noodles for a few months. :D
I guess I am glad to have missed G2 entirely during my teen angst years, because these characters and colours do nothing for me, thankfully (from a financial viewpoint). Streetstar is the only non-fluro guy, and gone the extreme opposite, achieving uBer blandness. And Hasbro thinks that blue 'window paint' matches the transparent blue plastic how? He's basically Classics Silverstreak minus the silver/grey highlights. No envy here, but I'm a sucker for nostalgia, so I'm not knocking anyone who did survive, erm, enjoy G2 =o)
There is also a Slicer!

He is a repaint of Energon Wheeljack in AM Slicer colors.
This set is becoming pretty awesome! I want!
see, now i give a toss, i WANT slicer!Quote:

If this is for BotCon, Slicer isn't G2, though, so I presume they're releasing Shattered Glass Wheeljack:

(Either as a 'delayed' character like last year's Razorclaw, unless he hops universes like Cliffjumper or Bug Bite, or as a store exclusive. Or - judging by 'Sky-Byte', maybe the OTFCC just has a strange idea of what 'G2' means.)
Apparently the GIJoe convention is on this weekend in America, so the organisors are not likely to be updating anything for the TFs convention while they are all away until May 4th. Their online store mentions that nothing will be posted out until after that day - so it is probably unlikely that their TFs registration will be up before then either.
They've sent an email out saying they want help with the online rego. Mainly wanting people to do the walkthough and give feedback i guess, but i can't be buggered today.
Wow, i must be the only one that thinks that they are all really really poor.
