The Club Panel tomorrow will reveal the next two Club store toys.
The club Forum software won't see any upgrades as they plan to replace it entirely eventually.
Nexus Maximus - there's a funny story (which I only found out at the convention), but will talk about it on the Club Panel report.
The five Membership figures that combine into Nexus Maximus are from different allegiences, but the combined figure is not alligned to either side. It is one of the first 13 created by Primus, and is inherantly good, but not an Autobot.
Razorclaw convention toy is from the 2006 BotCon comic.
Movie toy moulds still off limits.
Prose stories on the website with Heatwave in them, fit midway into this year's club comic.
2005 Membership toy (Skyfall) now sold out.
Wanted to do a Seacons story, but didn't/couldn't.
Mirror Universe started out as an idea for their GIJoe exclusives, but talking it through, found that it was better suited for Transformers.
Rik Alvarez came in late to talk about the Convention comic.
The extra 'seeker' jets in the Convention comic were Hooligan (orange), Hellbat (blue/yellow), Guyhawk (red I think).
The comic is set in a cartoony-esque universe, but not actually in the cartoon universe.
