Botcon 2012 mockups done - Set hints.

[UltraMagnus]

As awesome as Sludge would be, considering how they always re-use moulds, I think it unlikely.... Some other Dinobots could be cool. I am most intrigued... 'From the distant past...' Could mean Cybertron's distant past? Something related to War For Cybertron/ War Within era?

Cybertron mode Grimlock? Hmmmmm. Although he already had a Titanium update didn't he?

Anyones guess, they need to sell tickets

I believe from the grapevine LSOTW may get classics treatment as a set (springer, impactor etc).

I have also heard the following are scheduled for next year (just called to find out what it was):

• Trailbreaker
• Brawn
• Gears
• Hoist
• Sunstrorm
• Whirl
• Stepper (Hasbro Version)
• Artfire (Hasbro Version)
• Targetmaster Classics (Scourge, Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus)

My source could be lying, but considering how much in bed he is with Hasbro, I take his word on it

Where's my Deluxe sized Cosmos? Darnit, one day, if I keep thinking and wishing hard enough, it will come true.

If they make a LSOTW set, I hope the reissue Overlord!XD


Unlikely, but he's there with Cosmos!

Distant past for two figures?

Grimlock and Swoop right? Or could they mean in tf lore and be looking at earlier Primes (since Alpha Trion has been done before). If it is Dinobots, with what molds would they be made with?

Rotorstorm needs an update, and I doubt Hasbro could ignore how popular LSotW has been, but given that Springer, Perceptor, Ironfist and Guzzle have all had redecos made in the past few years (and Pyro), that would leave the Jumpstarters, Overlord and perhaps the minor Decepticon characters Snare and Stalker.... Still a set worth getting!

I guess the questions to be asked would be what molds are they limited to? The classics line seems to be the only option since the movie figures are largely no-gos.

Sludge from Darkmount.

How do you figure Swoop and Grimlock? I was throwing out Sludge because I WANT HIM SO BAD.

Really? would never have guessed.

I'd prefer two of Snarl, Sludge and Slag/whatever they could call him now.
Just thought that the continuing popularity of Grimlock and Swoop would see their use, plus that would give the set "named characters" so then lesser known or region exclusive or comic exclusive characters could be used for the other set members.

Was going down that list thinking 'yeah yeah' then the last two lines hit me

And I had to change my chair

Unless they do something different with Cyclonus, why do a Botcon exculsive Targetmaster? The regular release came with the targetmaster partner.

Not a botcon targetmaster - retail

"distant past" huh? has anyone checked the g1 episodes for any possible characters from there? seems like they have a bit of room to play with here. a g1 sentinal prime perhaps? ironhide/ratchet body maybe? just putting this one out there fellas.

I feel the Urge for a Pretender set
