I can't wait till my boxed set arrives. That looks like the coolest set yet, and the tech spec art is awesome. What's the comic like?
Only good one is goldbug as it's using the best mould, hotshot.
Also another reason it's the best is because they just didn't call it *sigh* bumblebee. I'm glad they used that name of goldbug.

Hydrogen 7
awesome bios.
Still haven't had a chance to read it yet, but as a quick flick through, it definitly unusual, but what you would expect if the roles were reversed - an evil selfish Optimus vs a heroic selfless Megatron. It feels more like an intro to an ongoing series, rather than a 'drop in and drop out' by the alternate universe character (Cliffjumper) as a one-off story. It sets up a storyline that I'm guessing will be used for the Collector club and Convention for the foreseable future.Quote:

After reading the bio cards you posted griff, I gotta say - I agree on your ongoing series thing here.
It feels like the alternative universe story is just what would have happened under different circumstances, since Optimus was still Optronix, and Starscream was still a prominant scientist.
I love the integration of the "Beast Wars" though, with the G1 Predacons being small as micromasters (well, minicons) in comparison to their Autobot/Decepticon counterparts.
I'll have to visit and read this comic griff, just because it intrigues me so.
Well if you like it, or others want to get a copy, the BotCon comic will again be available through Diamond Distribution (that is, it will be in comic shops).
I'm just about to upset everyone but really, at the end of the day you are just looking at a bunch of recolours done in limited numbers:rolleyes:. Nice pics anyway Griffin.
So Comics, etc. in Brisbane City should have it? Sweet.
I'm still going to raid your house to see the Botcon figures, seeings as I don't think I'm going to be able to afford them for quite some time.
Yeah, but you could say that about Thundercracker too.Quote:
