TFCC Botcon 2016 theme - Dawn of the Predacus

[MayzaPrime]

erm that someone is ME hahahaha. Ive posted it as my reply on a facebook post. unless there's somewhere you read it otherwise then it it's not just me thinking it (of course other's will heheheh)

After all if you think about it...
TakaraTomy can likely issue out a combiner that is known to their local market - Liokaiser - from Victory.

For mainbody
They can use (again) the Cyclonus mold with some retool - Leozack
The third figure from the Predacus group is a drill tank - easy recolour to Drillhorn
and with a slight retool of the brwan tank mould again - Killbison
They can retool one of the cars to be Jaruga, just use the MIssle type handplate to simulate the rocket launcher on his buggyback...
As for the remaining members Guyhawk and Hellbat - of course staright up repaint and new head from Skydive mould

and as bonus seventh member - We have the helicopter - Deathcobra (it's aliiiiive!!!)


SO, there you go, a straight up Liokaizer

I thought that TFCC might have done it for there subscription service next year... it would be cool if Hasbro do it

Completely underwhelmed.. bummed out.. but expected I guess.

Cicada torn artwork has revealed he will be a brown Air Raid with no head remold.

I was hoping for Cicada torn to use the Cyclonus mild and have toy colouring.


Because..
- I believe the 3 were just saturated by red light in the show.
- Now we'll have 3 rusty brown combiner parts when we could have got a more vibrant deco.
- Sea lamp will most likely be the Hotspot mold.. again.
- Cicada torn was the original torso.
- No new head like Ram horn has me wondering why they bothered with his and we'll see in the end if it was a waste.

Now I am off to destroy autocorrect on the damn tablet.

Totally agree... What a letdown...

The artwork is here on Facebook, while the toy will be revealed tomorrow.

Pics are up, but can't get to post on work comp to share....

Anyway, Red and silver Skydive mould....

I'm disappointed.... Cicadacon was head and chest.... wanted it to be the torso...

Money on Hotspot mould for the final

Cicadacon on BotCon website.

so they made a comment in the last month or so about having 5 new heads, I guess that means the combiner head is also new. given this reveal.

I think we can expect this to be another set that doesn't get sold out.

I commend them on the theme idea but they should have backed away from it when the avaliable molds did not fit the characters at all. A new 'G2' theme would have been better or even Euro G1. At the very least, they could have continued the 'Dawn of Future's Past' 2006 theme and given us Terrorsaur and other more suitable BW characters that never made it to the show in 'Cybertronian' modes.
