BotCon boxed set exclusives:

This year, the concept is being taken to a whole new level! At BotCon 2012, two universes will collide as the war criminal, Ultra Magnus, and his crew of Evil Autobots crosses over from the Shattered Glass universe into the Classicverse, fighting Heroic Autobots, Evil Decepticons and anyone else who dares to stand in their way! Autobot versus Autobot, Decepticon versus Decepticon... Get ready for the ultimate multiverse battle. Transformers: Invasion!

This amazing six-figure Transformers: Invasion box set features: the Evil Ultra Magnus, Evil Tracks, Heroic Treadshot and Heroic Soundwave from
the Shattered Glass Universe. From the Classics Universe, two updates fans have been wanting for years! The “Overlord” Classics Gigatron, and the Pretender Commander Classics Metalhawk!

Bit "meh" to more Shattered Glass, but if Tracks is the RTS toy in Red (eg 85 Box Art) I'd be quite happy. Let the figure speculation begin.

Good to see some more Shattered Glass, but have a slight feeling it's the club's way to cheat out on coming up with new ideas.

Lessee, Generations G2 Prime as Magnus, WFC Soundwave as SW and thunderwing as Metalhawk.

Hmm, Wonder which figure has the nuts to become Overlord?

I agree with the Tracks comment there PB. Red would be sweet.

Treadshot hey? Tricky... Another Actionmaster character, Hope he comes with his buddy!

the article below has some promo artwork and it looks as though Soundwave will be using the Universe Ironhide/Ratchet mould.

but overall this set doesnt excite me so far

take another look at SG Soundwave mate, that's the CHUG Ironhide body, not the WFC Soundwave body.

now, i gotta find some one to get them for me.

I would like to get this set... Anyone able to pick one up for me? ... Overlord and Metalhawk are the ones that sold me!!!

This is very interesting indeed. I am looking forward to photos of their Overlord and Metalhawk.

Well damn, I am going to have to try and offload a heap more toys in order to afford this set.

Shattered Glass is such an easy pass.

Money saved.

But then the last truly great Botcon set was the Dawn of Future's Past. The creativity and originality since then seems to have taken a nose dive off a cliff (that said last years was a decent concept, my distaste for anything Animated aside).

Im gonna guess that Metalhawk is just going to be a seeker repaint *sigh*

Wow, these announcements have done extremely little to rouse my interest in BOTCON (Apart from Metalhawk and Overlord), not that I could afford attending or picking up these sets; but still I remain completely "meh" to these convention 'Exclusive Figures' - '06 and '07's figure sets remain the only sets to of ever earned my admiration and consideration. :cool:

Shattered Glass = Pathetic. :rolleyes:
