It's funny that people forget that at the time the Botcon set was released Hasbro had no plans to continue the Classics line. It was an interim line with limited mould designed to tide people over until the movie. Cue the 2007 movie, all efforts were being placed in that, and therefore no Classics toys were on the horizon, so FunPub asked if they could pick up the slack and Hasbro actually tried to do right by the fans by saying yes to FunPub.


Now that Hasbro's plan seems to be to alternate between a Movie line and a Classic line, there is a greater desire from within Hasbro to complete certain collections of figures (eg: the seekers, the Autobot cars, etc).

With that all said, the TC images look awesome! And again following in Hasbro's behaviour of homaging the orignal toy rather than necessarily copying the show model.
