Future Botcon boxsets?

Nice. Good find, Jay!
I like the sound of "A mission set in which the characters are from a few different era's in a stand-alone adventure."
Prices:
89 for the auto trooper set
89 for SS/Toxitron set,
92 for SG Galvatron/TC set
*falls off chair*
In a Clive Barker kind of way Toxitron and Sideswipe manage to look both disgusting and beautiful at the same time.
I'm happy. Gonna be a cheap one for me. Just gonna grab the Autotroopers.
Thanks for the pics Jay, Now I really want Thundercracker & Galvatron! Not to fussed with Toxitron & Sideswipe though
Not a fan of Sideswipe but I have to agree with you about Toxitron. At first I thought "Ewww gross" but I can't stop looking at him.Quote:

Plus I love that t-shirt.
Haha! Yeah, looks almost edible. Mmm. :p The Autotroopers look better than I expected too.Quote:

As horrible as it is, what's more insane is the amount of people who will/do want that figure - I foresee some ridiculous secondary market prices being thrown at that piece of plastic. :rolleyes::pQuote:

Feel free to substitute Action Master Thundercracker with:
1. G2
2. Shattered Glass
Yes, Nexus Maximus was what I was thinking, though for some reason the correct name for it had slipped my mind, and I'd deliberately erased it from my google web history!
I know galvatron is generally purple but I was hoping that they make him black like they did in the cybertron line, imo more black and less purple would of suited that mold better. That been said I still want it and thundercracker. I don't have a any great love for the original action master but that is a hideous repaint and I love hideous repaints.
I'm not really feeling the love for fisitron like a lot of people are, the head is a nice sculpt and I don't mind the mold but the colour scheme just isn't doing it for me. The autotroopers look good and I look forward to getting them over fisitron.
Whats the history behind toxicon I know they wanted to repaint laser rod optimus as him and use it for a botcon exclusive a few years back but is there any back story to the character or was he just made up for botcon
Since this is Shattered Glass Thundercracker and AM TC came out in the hypercolour-nineties, that's not surprising then. :)Quote:

and also one of the first to pay him out: https://groups.google.com/group/alt....e5e2626a?hl=en
it's mainly nostalgia for me. I love that guy, and I'd much rather see them continue to recolour seekers like that than in any other shade.
They first used Shattered Glass Galvatron in the comic over a year ago, so it was inevitable that he would be released in those colours: http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/e/e6/Ne...mingStorm1.jpg Swoop, you can (legally!) read a comic that he cameo-appears in here: http://www.transformersclub.com/_ima...1Feb_Mar10.pdfQuote:

(For those who want one, I really hope that you're able to get one for a 'reasonable' price - My fingers are crossed for you ;):))
That Classicsverse AM Thundercracker is such a Troll! :D:cool:
And if you can't get a Classics AM 'cracker then don't despair...Just grab any old seeker, down a double-shot of brown vinegar, aim your mouth towards the toy and let the forthcoming technicoloured yawn beautifully coat your seeker in an equally spectacular fashion!
LOL! :p:DQuote:

If only I made more than a teachers salary...
Then all of those figures would be mine, even the retina damaging Thundercracker. Never been a massive fan of AMTC, but that toy is just so painful to the rods behind the eyes I want it! :D
Cnat wait to get my hands on Animated Cheetor either, that whole display case is almost pure untarnished awesomesauce.
Autotroopers will be easy to get we think. It's three exact same toys, not even different tech specs.
Unfortunately we could only buy one set of exclusives tonight per badge, rather than multiples like last year. With the dealers getting first crack tomorrow, there's a goo chance that at show prices will equal on eBay prices for the other exclusives.
As someone who bought Action Master Thundercracker as a 13 year old, I love the robot mode of this new toy.
Plus taxQuote:

There's also trading cards instead of autograph sheets featuring the characters we have voice actors for present.
The... WHAT NOW?! That sounds like the most awesomest thing everer! :eek:Quote:

I'd post a pic but my comic is already flying back to Australia and my litho is in Griffin's hotel room two blocks away.
Thanks anyway, Paulbot - I assume it's just this* on Lugnut's body (it's the Lugnut's-body bit that I'm most interested in.)Quote:

It's a much more RID style head, with the large fin. Pretty much the head on the Sharkticon toy last year.
Ooh - even better, more like this head then:Quote:

Yep.
Oh I do want the Autotroopers as well as SG Thundercracker
Not a fan of Animated molds, but the Cybertron Ratchet one does appeal just a tad.
But $200US per set on eBay at the moment (if your lucky)
It looks like you understand exactly why people love Action Master Thundercracker.Quote:

Yeah I would love to get the SG Thundercracker in glorious technicolour goodness :D:D
AM Classics Thundercracker?
Oh Baby that's BEAUTIFUL!!
It's in my mega duper most ****ing wanted list evah!!
Now to find a way to acquire it...:eek:
That's the thing, we think is freaking horrible and the most garish thing ever but that is why we love it so much. :DQuote:

So that's what they'll be called. First Toxitron and now him as well? Could this be a reunion of the Toxic Crusaders? :D

That it be. Seemed rather humourous for characters such as Toxitron and Master Disaster (who may/may not have intentional name links to Toxie and Major Disaster respectively) to appear at the same convention.Quote:
