Excellent news. I will be interested to see them but won't have to feel aggrieved like last year, while the hardcore types can get their exclusive fix.

All I can say is:
THANK PRIMUS!
There is nothing here that I care for so no more spending crazy amounts of money for toys!
Its Bizzare but I am very relieved at this set of underwhelming Botcon figures, specially after buying full sets for two consequtive Botcon years and the giant effort involved.

Meh.
An interesting idea, and I'm glad they've gone for a distinct theme, as in the last two years.
But meh.

You may change your mind when you see them kup, most people do.
The toys and theme sounds too much like Star Trek's Mirror Universe. It might work, but suggests that there was little they could otherwise do with the limited moulds at their disposal this year.
The convention details can be found here:

or from the main botcon website:

I was a bit worried that the registration forms were put up as well, as it could be until Tuesday until I could fax it off. Still wouldn't be happy if they are released before Tuesday though. The pre-con tours sound quite good this year. I might consider signing up for them. This is why I had to wait to book airfares, which is gonna cost me more now.

WTF that’s not too interesting to me but would be quite nice to get my hands on them and have a look at pictures, but what the hell, Autobots Evil and Decepticons good??? I’m confused!

It is a clever idea and I am looking forward to the comic but that is where my interest ends. I have seen the evil Grimlock repaint and it doesn't look that good.
It is nice that they are doing this but its not interesting enough to justify aftre market Botcon prices.
A theme such as the one they are employing here is what they should have done to begin with in the Universe line. Provide an interesting theme so that they can focus the repaints on.

I am not going to Botcon so the only way to obtain this figures is 'after market' such as on Ebay and the like.Originally Posted by jaydisc

Incorrect. Read the brochure or a few posts back about the non-attendance package.

True, but I am not a Club member so it doesn't change anything for me and most other people.
