BotCon 2016 news and reveals

[Krayt]

Custom class Ratchet (Or Medix) confirmed here!

I wonder what head they will send for those non-attending who bought a made version...

[Krayt]

Apparantly Terrorsaur is missing his HFG in pack... so the piece is handed out seperate...

ANd the GT exclusive is CW Shockwave as Reflector

(Source FB...)

Edit... instructions for GT Figure say Reflector, Bio Card calls him "Slash Sentry"....

An all translucent Blue(ish) shockwave, new head.... imagine it like an old flash to go on top of a camera

There's art of a Tigatron, using the same Ravage head. And Airazor (which toy?). and someone(?) Yellow (Off Road mold I think)

And here. Yellow guy looks like Hot Shot more than anyone else right?

Ravages HFG is not in the box... that's the extra handed out....

So Terrorsaur has no HFG...

Airrazor looks like Wingblade to me....

[Krayt]

More FB users saying (no proof) that there is a 3 pack of shockwaves in addition to:

CR/RID Megatron repaint,
Yellow CW Limb
Airrazor (Wingblade?)
Tigatron (CW Ravage repaint)

GT exclusive Transparent Flash Sentry (CW Shockwave)
Attendee Exc Terrorsaur

The Terrorsaur does indeed have no foot/fist accessory, which is stupid, because we have four Deluxe combiners this year for BotCon, which could go with one of the spare Retail Voyagers.
The suggestion from one of the staff is to have him as an arm and stick a blade weapon out the end.

Ravage is indeed missing its foot/fist accessory in BOTH the boxsets and loose sets, so were handed out separately.

The Golden Ticket toy is called Flash Sentry, a redeco of Legends Shockwave (wiith a new head), which should also be a Reflector 3-pack for sale tomorrow (probably in proper cartoon purple and green). The GT figure is done in all purple, with half being translucent purple (no green on the chest).

The at-show toys & merchandise this year are...
Megatron (RID-2001 Megatron) - $89 (sold separately) 850 units.
Airazor (GEN-14 DLX Windblade) - $49 (sold separately) 750 units.
Tigatron (CW Ravage) - $49 (sold separately) 1200 units.
Unit 3 (CW Streetwise - looks like the same head) - $49 (sold separately) 1200 units
Reflector 3-pack (Legends Shockwave) - $59 - 1300 units.

Tigatron (CW Ravage) - $49 (sold separately) 1200 units.
Unit 3 (CW Streetwise - looks like the same head) - $49 (sold separately) 1200 units
Reflector 3-pack (Legends Shockwave) - $59 - 1300 units.

These sound a bit tempting, hmmm, hopefully eBay sellers wont jack up their prices too much.

See now if I had have known these in advance I definitely would have taken you up on your offer Griffin. Such a pain that they don't release these details in advance. I guess they want you to come and find out which is unrealistic for most international fans. Now to source these 4 through other means (hopes they won't be ridiculous in price).
