Botcon 2012 mockups done - Set hints.

[*]Targetmaster Classics (Scourge, Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus)[/LIST]

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

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

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.

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

For some reason distant past makes me think of Orion Pax. They could reuse the Kup mold like they did with the Ehobby G1 reissue. He'd fit in great with Botcon Alpha Trion and TFCC Dion.

3 are getting their first updates ever. I'm thinking
Skids
Hoist (If they're not doing a Trailbreaker they must have access to the mold)


These guys instantly come to mind but there are others of course...

That Orion Pax idea is plausible.

Skids got an upddate (although not a good one) in the movie TF2, and Hoist was made from a repaint of a tow truck from the TF1, whose name currently escapes me.

not good updates though

The Orion Pax idea is very plausible as the cartoon has massive influence with Funpub and most US fans. However at the same time, they have been known to go beyong geewun and giving us some good stuff from the Marvel G1 universe.
