BotCon 2015 news

[Paulbot]

The Diaclone homage that was mentioned/hinted at: Insecticon and pilot.

Nice idea but not "go out of the way and pay eBay prices" nice.

I gave someone 100US to pick it up, as thats what the deluxe attendings normally go for/level out too....

a legend/legion whatever had better save me some money!

[MayzaPrime]

Well that is a little disappointing... but it does save me money

[Krayt]

And the packs are apparantly....

4 pack of wasp
2 pk gen prime sgt hound (this is confusing me...**research.... sounds like scoop repaint = sgt hound)
2 black skids and red hoist

I'll guess we'll see what they look like shortly.

I just came back from the pick-up, and finished taking photos (which I'll post up shortly).

From the comic, we have images and artwork to pretty much confirm all the at-show toys this year.

Gen2 2-pack (General Optimus from Gen VOY Roadbuster & Sgt Hound from Gen DLX Scoop) - 1,100 units.

Diaclone 2-pack (Orange DLX Hoist & Black DLX Skids) - 1,500 units.

Waruders 4-pack (DLX Waspinators - blue/red, purple/black, yellow, white) - 2,000 units.

Kreo Earth's Most Wanted (Kreons cartoon Dr Arkeville, comic Robot Master, cartoon Autobot Spike, cartoon Nightbird, Animated Sentinel Prime, Animated Headmaster) - 900 units.

Attendee figure - Zaptrap (red Legends Shrapnel - first time the attendee figure isn't a Deluxe, which is cheapening it a bit).

Custom Class figure - Galva Convoy (purple/black DLX Optimus/Orion Pax)

Plus the usual autograph cards and litho poster... which will be in photos coming soon. (I won't be offering to buy any of them)

I like the attendee, but I'm sure some fans are going to rant because it's a legends commander figure not a deluxe

[griffin]

Images at Seibertron... saves me processing my photos tonight (I'm getting sleepy).

I wont rant

But I do prefer the deluxe, and I am happy to pay more. Flamewar is one of my favourite Botcon figures

[Krayt]

I did some thinking, and this isn't the first non deluxe freebie. When this "format" started in 2005, flamewar was a scout, and then 2006 had Tigatron, another basic/scout.

2007 was the first deluxe, and all till now
