"The Iacon Package ($340 ppd for club members or $415 ppd for nonmembers)..."
from the brochure.

Don't forget about the extra money-grab "processing fee" that they will spring on you right at the end of the registration process... They should at least be honest about the total cost in the brochure, rather than putting the "deception" in Decepticon.

To make guessing a bit easier, let's tally up the figures eligible from Classics to RtS:

Classics
Astrotrain
Optimus Prime (Deluxe)
Megatron (Deluxe)
Megatron (Voyager)
All Mini-Cons except Predator Attack Team

Universe
Cyclonus
Galvatron
Ironhide/Ratchet (used for SG Soundwave)
Tankor
Cheetor
Dinobot
Hot Shot with Jolt
Powerglide
Silverbolt

Generations
All WFC Molds
Drift (used for SG Drift)
Darkmount/Skullgrin
Blurr
Thunderwing (currently in use for Sky Shadow)
Scourge
Wheeljack (currently in use for Runabout/Runamuck)
Warpath

Reveal the Shield
Windcharger
Turbo Tracks
Special Ops Jazz
Perceptor
Wreck-Gar (currently in use for Junkheap)
Optimus Prime (used for SG Ultra Magnus)

Let the real guessing begin

I'm gonna guess Metalhawk to be either a seeker with a new head or Cyclonus.

All of the ideas for Overlord are sorta 'not really'...

I can only hope, maybe after this year, they will stop with the SG stuff. Shattered Glass appeals mostly to the people who went to that Botcon. I did not go. I do not care. I passed on SG Cyclonus, I will pass on SG Drift. I am going, I will buy their stuff, but I truly believe, they could have come up with something more... creative. There are endless amount of canon in which to draw from, and they keep pushing this...? I am not trying to offend SG fans, just my opinion. But I'm a little disappointed.

Don't forget all the PCCs, some of the TF 2010 figures, and the non-licensed "movie" toys like Mindwipe, Bludgeon, Lockdown, etc. (for these, see the Tweets I quoted before).

Hot Shot and Jolt are a no go, they have been used for last year's TFCC exclusive.

I honestly can't think of anything that would work as Overload.

*ahem* TFCC does not count. We have:

- TFCC Sideburn and BotCon SG Rodimus
- TFCC Punch/Counterpunch and BotCon 2010 Breakdown
- TFCC G2 Ramjet and BotCon 2007 Dirge

So that criteria holds no water, my friend.

An silly me, forgot to add Solar Storm Grappel

If those derps misspelled 'Overload', I'm gonna write one angry, angry e-mail.

No worries for that, the toy will be named Gigatron, with "Overlord" as his function.

You got that right sister! So far, him and and MetalHawk (would be a serious missed opportunity if they don't use RTS/Universe Cyclonus) that I'm excited about.

They
re calling him Gigatron.

SO LOVELY OF YOU TO REMIND ME.

Sabrblade wrote:^ Well, it's no different from when they used "Spark", "Streetstar" and "Fisitron" for Pyro, Streetwise, and TFA Ironfist.

Characters I do not care for one bit. It's an emotional thing, my entire TF-fanboyism is.

Punch and Breakdown where released the same year.
Sideburn and Ramjet where released the same year, together with BotCon AC/SG Thundercracker, as in the "exception to the rule year".

Punch and Breakdown I can agree with you. The others, not so much. I can see where you're coming from, but it still shows that molds used for TFCC can still be used for BotCon, and vice-versa if need be.

Still, I don't see Hot Shot being used for anything in this year's set.

No, the rule isn't that what's used for Botcon can't be used for TFCC, it's that FunPub doesn't use the same mold for more than one year. As in, the molds they use for next year's club and con exclusives won't be used for future exclusives.

I'm a little late to the speculation, but I'm hoping that Tracks will be his diaclone colours, then I'll have to find two of them. One for SG and one for my classics shelf.

I'm hoping that Gigatron would be a Warpath remold, but that mold came out a little late, so it'll most likely be the Straxus mold.

More SG? EFFFF YESSSSSS! I like Classics, I like SG, I like this concept and I can't wait to waste a ton of money at the end of April. I'll be able to do the custom class maybe as well? Suhweeet! Can't wait to see all my TF buds in Texas.

Indeed..I was psyched for the fact the con is only a few hours from me but when I found out that Sg was the theme,coupled with the awesome Seibs crew, I went into happiness overload! This con is gonna be epicz!!!

All of the others I get except for Overlord. But seeing how they just did a color change and head-remold when they made Deathsaurus I won't be surprised at how they will just remold the head on a voyager and call him Overlord.

I will rely on 3rd Party to try to make a classics version of Overlord.

The only figure that comes to mind is Cybertron/Galaxy Force Leader Megatron. I would pay for that if they did a color swap and head remold.
