Leaked BotCon at-show toys

[Quickstrike]

I may want that toy a lot. He would obviously borrow Terradive/Space Cases trident.

Here is the robot mode:

This to me fails. If any of the figures needed a new head to make the character, it was this one. Just repainting the head does not make the character, I don't see Octopunch in this at all.

When the list leaked, it sounded exciting but as more is revealed, disappointment ensues at the lackluster executions.

I guess he can work as Shattered Glass which is the intention (looks to have Quickswitch colors) but to me, it's 'meh'.

Easy pass!

Bugger, that was the only one I was even vaguely interested in.
Good news for my budget I guess.

[Paulbot]

And it's SG as well...? If they were going to do it as SG why not just make it SG Seaspray? For some reason I think of Octopunch as yellow (misremembering Primal Scream I guess) so this doesn't match my (misguided?) expectations.

[Doubledealer]

The fact that they've made him SG is the main deal breaker for me. I'd go on to say the head mold is far too friendly for a Decepticon but that doesn't apply anymore does it, he's a "Heroic Decepticon".

Edit: Just noticed the two rubber duckies having a stare-off on Octopunch's chest, LOL! "One shall paddle, one shall quack"

It could be one of those dual images - ducks & tentacles.

I just know that he is going to be packed in a pair with an in-show exclusive that everyone will want ..

Wow, I had to lean far away from the screen to see those at all, it took me a solid minute not to see tentacles.

That's a really nice touch.

the lack of a diving bell head is a bit disappointing but at the same time it still looks like a helmet and breathing apparatus (can't see the actual face) so it's a pretty good hoage. it's probably better that the spend the remold budget on something else for the difference it would have made. and a diving bell head would have probably looked disproportianately small.

Wow, after seeing the list ages ago, I was excited. With every reveal, I become less and less inclined to even bother trying to get a set. Sad really.
