BotCon 2011 theme is...

Well, that'd be the free attendee figure to go with the 5-figure set. And we've had a translucent figure before if 'Crystal' is a hint as to its appearance and not to its name.

The wannabee/debatable element would kinda make sense too, if the attendee figure is essentially part of the box set (can only be given out with one), but just didn't quite make it into the box itself.

Where's the Oil Slick mold?!

I assume that one of the other toys available at BotCon or as Attendee figure will be a car, probably the twin repaint (like Scourge/Sweeps, Rapido/Streetwise, Skybyte/Sharkticons, Jazz/Ricochet, etc) of one of the figures already announced.

Was it said they are going to use that one? BotCon said that the Stunticons wouldn't include a bike, but that's as much as I recall.

(A Cy-Kill repaint would be nice though)

That I would want!

My basis

@botcon: "Trukk is to car as Munkey is to bike!"

@botcon: "Previous Tweet plus "Trukk not Munky" should answer if one of the Stunticons will be a bike..."

Their next two tweets were both "car NOT bike".

I think they were trying to say they agreed with the G1 purists who'd insist all the Stunticons be cars, rather than intentionally making fans unhappy with a bike toy in the set. (It could have been Prowl too?)

Instead now the G1 purists can chant "blokes not girls" instead so they still have something to complain about. I see many more on other boards complaining that there's Animated toys at Botcon at all instead of more classics.

That's all I see on the other boards. Whinging. Not just about Botcon, but everything. That's why I stick here. It's a nice, friendly place.

I was hoping to see a bike. Maybe this 6th pseudo-Stunticon will be the bike and in one of the attendee sets, and possibly a G1 character that's (obviously) never been a Stunticon but has similar motives/ideals/characteristics. Or one that 'idolises' them, ala IDW's Terrorcons looking up to Sixshot.

Prowl repainted in red as Ransack (an Animated version of the Cybertron character) would work, and that character would work as a sidekick to the Stunticons.

I could also imagine one of the attendee sets including a Runamuck and/or Runabout, who would fit in well with the Stunticons. But if they only made one of them people would be unhappy it wasn't the pair, and if they made both it'd be 7 Decepticon cars which would be too many wouldn't it?

Interesting theory -

(My personal guess is it's the little black car that makes up Generation 1 Menasor's chest rendered in Transformers Animated style)

We've had so many Classics-verse toys used for BotCon in the last few years, it'd be good to see what a different style (Animated) looks like. And their window of opportunity on using most of the Animated moulds is probably already running out, so it's good to see them using them while they can.
