Botcon 2011 Toys and then Rumours/News

[Hursticon]

And if you can't get a Classics AM 'cracker then don't despair...Just grab any old seeker, down a double-shot of brown vinegar, aim your mouth towards the toy and let the forthcoming technicoloured yawn beautifully coat your seeker in an equally spectacular fashion!

LOL!
That's gold!

there are just people who dont like nice solid complementary colours - they want garish eccentric mishmash!

i just want fisitron and autotroopers

If only I made more than a teachers salary...

Then all of those figures would be mine, even the retina damaging Thundercracker. Never been a massive fan of AMTC, but that toy is just so painful to the rods behind the eyes I want it!

Cnat wait to get my hands on Animated Cheetor either, that whole display case is almost pure untarnished awesomesauce.

Autotroopers will be easy to get we think. It's three exact same toys, not even different tech specs.

Unfortunately we could only buy one set of exclusives tonight per badge, rather than multiples like last year. With the dealers getting first crack tomorrow, there's a goo chance that at show prices will equal on eBay prices for the other exclusives.

As someone who bought Action Master Thundercracker as a 13 year old, I love the robot mode of this new toy.

Prices:

89 for the auto trooper set
89 for SS/Toxitron set,
92 for SG Galvatron/TC set

Plus tax

The two lithos this year are g1 tech specs for the Animated Bots and Cons (one side each) featured in the cartoon, almanac and club comics (but that don't have toys [yet... the Lugnut repaint with Sky-Byte's head might appeal to some] or are the exclusives this year).

There's also trading cards instead of autograph sheets featuring the characters we have voice actors for present.

The... WHAT NOW?! That sounds like the most awesomest thing everer!

It's just a Derrick Wyatt design for now, but of all the new ones it looks the easiest to make a reality if the club does more Animated exclusives.

I'd post a pic but my comic is already flying back to Australia and my litho is in Griffin's hotel room two blocks away.

Thanks anyway, Paulbot - I assume it's just this* on Lugnut's body (it's the Lugnut's-body bit that I'm most interested in.)

It's a much more RID style head, with the large fin. Pretty much the head on the Sharkticon toy last year.
