Very interesting indeed. And a top bloke for giving me the time of day.

Red, White, Pink or Green, a pig with lipstick is still a pig.

Thats awesome!Quote:

Man! That scene is so cool! Still stands up even though it's nearly two decades old!:

You must be thinking of another fansite that has sometimes forgotten to credit sources in the past. ;) :pQuote:

Tformers didn't even include a link to the source for readers to see the full posting and follow up comments... they just copied and pasted.
When I read it as a front page article, the news credit had someone elses name next to it. :confused:Quote:

Anyone else think that looks like Terrorsaur flying in?
That or Red Wing. ;)Quote:

Credit where credit is due. I like the combined form (that chest piece colouring and head really helps) and I dig the boxart.
This might have been asked before (if so, apologies) - what's the chance of a CW Magnaboss coming from the convention exclusives?
I suppose if chances are slim to none, you can always grab a regular Silverbolt, Prowl, and Ironhide together with two other random G1 Season 1 Autobots... (maybe two grey cars for legs...?)
That box art looks better than the figure :p
I really hope that red jet is Terrorsaur, I really want to complete my pre-Beast wars figures.
Did the colour of the chest of the toy change late in the game? Or did the artist of the box art just ignore the fact the chest piece is black and purple, not grey?
Art reminds me of dreamwave
According to a recent podcast, apparently there are only 9 CW toys for BotCon... which could allow for them to be doing the thee Magnaboss characters, but it wouldn't come with enough limbs to make a second full combiner.Quote:

You have to be a TFCC member and you can order the non-attendee Iacon set. It is what I have been doing for the last few years.Quote:

Looks like evidence that Brian Savage is gearing up for a lengthy career in politics.Quote:

Hello Members!
Some exciting updates regarding BotCon 2016 Registration!
First, a reminder about some package details. If you register as a Primus package holder, you will receive not just the 5 figure boxed set, but also a FREE additional Deluxe figure. We are excited to announce that this figure utilizes the Combiner Wars tooling and also features a NEW head sculpt that does not appear on any other souvenirs.
Also, the CLASS KIT (and Assembled Class Kit) features an alternative head sculpt that is not available at retail. You can add an Assembled Class Kit when you register.
Finally, per the BotCon brochure, this year's Golden Ticket features a surprise bonus! That item is in fact an alternate version of one of the Legends Class souvenir items.
Take one last look at the Convention Brochure so you know exactly what you are planning to purchase and we will see you very soon in Louisville, Ky for BotCon 2016,10th April 7-April 10!
Thanks for your support and see you in Louisville!
Brian
Also gotta love them making a variant that only Golden ticket holders get.:rolleyes:

Or maybe I shouldn't come up with any other examples in case they come true!
haha, yea that one.Quote:

I will be ordering the Iacon set (non-attendee), and if anyone planning on going wants to sell their Golden Ticket exclusive legends figure, I would be interested in buying it.
I'm thinking that they are going to be opening up registration in the next 2-3 days, as their wording from the emails implies it is within days now.
The email from today that Paulbot quoted said "take one last look" at the brochure, while the one they sent out yesterday was letting us know that registration wasn't starting today (Tuesday - Monday night in America).
From Yesterday...
What was really interesting though, was the wording on Saturday's email (Friday in America), thanking us for the last 12 years of supporting them... which sounds very final.Quote:
Just so you can quit checking today. Registration is not today. However, you do need to go to TransformersClub.com/shop and make sure your log in works (click on My Account and log in). If it works in the store, it will work in the registration system. If it does not work you may need to renew your membership. If you have any issues, please let us know.
In addition, if you have an issue with your credit card company, please do not call us. Only your card company can fix any approval issues.
It also noted that registration would start next week (which is this week).

It is almost time to register for BotCon 2016! We will begin registration for BotCon, North America’s largest Transformers fan convention, next week. We will send out an email when it goes live and will also send updates via our Twitter and Facebook pages. Follow us to stay in the loop on the latest BotCon announcements!
Speaking of Facebook, for your first look at PREDACUS, the combined mode of the 5 figures from this years boxed set, visit our Facebook page here.
Thank you for your support over the last 12 years as we look forward to seeing you Louisville, KY, April 7th-10, for the biggest and best BotCon yet!
A pairing up topic has been posted here... if anyone else is willing to buy one for you.Quote:
