No it's not a BotCon story (like the FanPub comic books). What Griffin means is that at BotCon presentations Hasbro has been revealing information/art from their new story bible - such as the identity of some of the first 13 transformers. This is the sort of stuff that has been the basis for the Exodus/Exiles novel as their new collective origin.

Verno, I think I know where your speculation is heading, but do you want someone else to say it?

Okay I will speculate.... Maybe it's time to get a little... wild.

Beast Wars 20th Anniversary!

A whole new Generations-style line featuring deluxe toys of the whole first season show cast, with voyager size figures for Optimus, Megatron and Rhinox. (Rattrap and Airazor and Terrorsaur come with some accessories - Vok artifacts, CR chamber, Auto-guns? - that allow them to be smaller but sold as deluxes... fans will complain, the Japanese will release them in twopacks)

Beast Wars Cyberverse toys too. Legion and Commander size figures of all the show cast as appropriate. Maybe some of the first Japanese beasts too. New versions of Orcanoch and Arachnid cyberverse playsets. New Axalon and Nemesis cyberverse playsets.

Masterpiece BW Megatron, yes. It even comes with a rubber duck accessory.

What about a new cartoon? Or the original cartoon given a makeover, completely re-rendered with modern cgi? And now through the magic of the Cybernet Space Cube: the computer-enhanced stories of the Maximals, Beast Wars Generation Two. Now with added shadows.

A direct-to-DVD sequel/prequel/sidequel (either CGI or Cel) could even be a possibility.
