BotCon 2010 Wrap-up

[griffin]

The last time they weren't able to use a concept for a toy (Animated Constructicons/Devastator) was because of their usage in the upcoming TF2 movie. (or perhaps Hasbro don't want Grimlock tied to their offshoot PCC line, if they have grander plans for it later)

The drone limbs were the same spring-loaded gimmick, so don't expect too much from their limb-forms. Their dino-modes seemed more generic than homage, to be able to form limbs without too much dino-kibble getting in the way. Quite a few colours too - don't think 'gen1 grey'.

They have the trademark for another 8 years.

Well that's a relief then. Here's hoping Grimlock is reserved for a g1 repaint homage then!

Or a mould restore & reissue

Finally, three weeks later, another BotCon report of mine can be archived as being done...

All links in the first post are now active, and the main page of the report is now up.

(now I'm allowed to go play my WFC game... )

BotCon have now decided to release a proper biocard for Ravage.

It's just the same as their Magazine Bio, but now with Stat numbers.
(I'll have to swap it over in my report later, just to be sure I don't get in trouble for scanning the one in the Magazine)
