Not a lot of new reveals this year, and these were the more interesting ones (there are some other new items further down this posting, of the actual toys in the display case.

The best costume I found today (and so far this BotCon)... and it wasn't even in the costume contest being held at the Cosplay panel.

Aaron Archer is back at Hasbro? After his Play with this too bizzo? He must know how to market himself, or be very, VERY good at his job!
That scrounge looks very well done too. No name for the little shuttle gun? Just a shame he's limited to the computron pack, I'd like one to hang with TW Blaster.
And wow! That Soundwave cosplayer is AWESOME! Even has a nice shine to it!
Bring on Overlord, my lips are ready!
Thanks for the photos. Great to see what is going on.
That Soundwave cosplay looks amazing.
They're really pushing a lot of these moulds to maximum utilisation aren't they?
Windblade and Arcee in particular seem to be getting a hammering.
Someone on the HK groups mentioned how much Alpha Trion looks like the HSBC lion's and seeing this pic I can see many photos in front of said lions with this figure taking place. ;)
It is exciting to see all these new releases, but also a relief as there isn't a lot there I am after. My daughter might have different plans though if she catches wind of some of these figures since there are a few fembots in the mix. If anyone gets a Paradron medic they don't want I'd be interested in a chat. ;)
Well, Alpha Trion is now a unicorn/dog/lion so all bets about just what Hasbro are doing are off :p
That pic of TM2 Dinobot is... intriguing. I've read a summary of his panel and he said TransTech was a little too 'out there'. Transformers were 'out there' from TM2s and right through Beast Machines. TransTech may well have brought it back into something resembling normality. But alas, it got cancelled :(
When your convention product would fill at least half a Detolf you are selling far to much stuff for people to afford (especially if you do not advertise it beforehand).
