    Default BotCon 2011 theme is...

    ...not yet revealed (sorry for the tease). BUT, apparently it is being revealed in the current issue of the Club Newsletter that Americans are expected to receive tomorrow-ish.

    So, before we get to find out what it is and it gets posted here, how about a bit of speculation or hopes on what it might/should be.

    Okay, first up we have a clue posted by the botcon people on twitter, saying that so many TFs cartoons end after 3 seasons, and that this year's theme could be referred to as 'season 3.5'... suggesting that it will continue on from a TFs cartoon that had 3 seasons.

    They also mentioned that there might be a couple Animated toys this year, but since they said last year that they wouldn't touch Animated (series), it could be like the Transtech Cheetor toy they have planned - in that an Animated mould is being used for a completely different character/series.

    So, what do you think it will/should be?

    It's the 15th anniversary of Beast Wars this year, and it had 3 seasons... Could we see another BotCon Beast Wars themed set? We've already had Club comics that try to tie up loose ends from the cartoon, can we really have another story tacked on the end that makes sense?

    Or maybe the Unicron Trilogy, if you count that as 3 seasons of the one storyline.

    Or maybe they're just ignoring Rebirth and it'll be Gen1 themed to capitalise off all the recent Classicverse toys. (Actually, next year would be a good one for that, as they'd be able to use the Kup, Scourge, Blurr and Wreckgar moulds then)

    Or maybe they were bluffing, and it will be Animated themed.

    I'm hoping it's BW or Animated themed. Why?

    So then I have no interest in any of the toys and won't want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on them.

    I am hoping for a bit of a continuation of the Euro G1/G2 stuff.

    One can always hope for a AM Thundercracker.

    I reckon they would use the current Generation/RTS toyline with maybe some ROTF toys.

    I would love some Japanese Headmasters-Masterforce-Victory characters



    BW animated ?

    ^Yes and yes.

    Good voice: No matter how cool animated and its toys are i nipped my collecting early due to poor man's syndrome. No need to complete what i never really started.

    Bad voice: Exclusives are sexy and if i come back to collect animated later it would be at least 3x cheaper to buy the botcon sets now.

    I too share your perspective, especially if they defile Beast Wars with that... *Expletive Deleted* aesthetic.
