Just like almost every year in the past, the BotCon exclusive figures are starting to slip out of factories and onto auction sites prior to the event. Thanks to this TaoBao auction we get our first in-hand image of Gigatron (Overlord). This "Invasion" boxset figure makes use of the HFTD Voyager Bludgeon mold with a new head, which unfortunately cannot be seen in the is auction since the figure is only shown in tank mode. Take a look at the non photoshopped figure in vehicle mode below.

Oh I doubt that, from the extensive amount of Chinese I can read it looks like they want $500 bux for it. Somebody out there wants it that bad. (ok, I read no Chinese)

You do know how BotCon exclusives have been packaged for the last seven years, right? That's a loose bagged version. The formal boxed version comes in a giant box with the rest of the set figures. Again, its' no different than how they've done it for the past seven years.

It's actually 500 RMB ... which means about 80 US bux :lol:
That's still pretty expensive in comparison to the other stuff on the site, where a deluxe averages $5 :lol:

I think that could have made a fairly decent Overlord.


Perhaps a fairly decent Overlord but not sure if the cybertronian look would work for the character. Besides, FunPub can't use DOTM Shockwave since he is an onscreen character in the movie.
