Possibly leaked BotCon toys?

[griffin]

A couple of bagged redecos have shown up on ebay, and they are bagged for FunPub (most of their toys end up saying "BotCon" on the bag, not just BotCon toys).

One is a black redeco of the Beast Hunters version of Arcee, called Flamewar. (a character originally created by FunPub for their first BotCon, so could be a tribute to that, like G2 Breakdown is a tribute character to the first BotCon)

The other bagged figure is Transmutate, but apparently uses the TFPrime Arcee mould that *wasn't* use for this year's store exclusive.
(I can't seem to tell them apart in photos... but apparently the 2011 First Edition Arcee is the one that got released, but for some reason, some of the Transmutates have been showing up on the 2012 "RID" Arcee mould.
It's possible that both moulds were used for a test run to see which worked best, but I think the ebay seller has put the discarded 2012 toy in an old bag, as it says BotCon 2013 on it.

It seems a bit late that BotCon toys would be leaking now from the Factory, as they were sent 1-2 months ago... but we might see some more odd redecos showing up in the next week or two.

(this was also the seller who was selling the brown FOC Rumble/Frenzy figure a few months back as well, which could still be a BotCon toy)

Really liking Flamewar, might have to pick her up.

Yeah, not convinced, we've seen pictures of other toys in Botcon bags this year that appeared to be legit but turned out to be a custom in a old bag.

There is no reason for the club to produce a second transmutate, it would cut into the sales of the first one.

The flamewar looks cool, but again, unlikely that they'd have two such similar molds, if the flamewar was made using the FE Arcee I'd be a lot more convinced.

I guess I'll just have to go to Botcon and find out for myself.

Flamewar looks kinda 'customised'. Guess we will have to wait and see. But looks great.

I'd be very excited to see a Flamewar release. She's just been featured in the TF Legends game, along with other previous OTFCC figures like Shadowstriker.

Hmm, unsure about Alpha Tri'hard'. They all scream pure laziness as usual.
