I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing that out. I actually feel really dumb right now.

I'm trying to see if I can go to Botcon this year and I'm not sure if I'll have the funds to do it. It's going to depend on what happens to my financial situation soon.

If anything I might try for Iacon, but I'd like to get the entire set and enjoy some time in the dealer room.

It would be insane to make a set of combiners that don't combine, but if they don't let's hope fans project or another 3rd party hooks up with a appendage kit.

No need to feel dumb. There's too much stuff to remember these days. You could just as easily say that Mirage being the attendee toy means that the 2007 set had an Autobot in it.

So, I may not go at all this year.

Weighing the balance:

Pro going:
+Friends and good times +10pts
+Could offput the cost by selling the set +1pts

Con going:
-California again -3pts
-EXPENSIVE flights this year -3pts
-Set of toys I have no interest in -5pts
-Nothing to hunt for in the dealer room -1pts (not a real problem I suppose, but still...)

So, my completely arbitrary point system sees going to the convention down by a point. I've been going the past four years and one thing that's nagging at me is the thought of what I might do with all that freed up income. I suppose we will see.

Anyone that really wants me to come out to the convention, please make your feelings known with a photoshopped picture displaying such feelings. Thank you.

They will not combine.

The set idea is that the Stunticons are infiltrating the Autobot base/society/planet by taking on their forms. This is probably pre any combiner tech.

They will not combine.

I know they won't, but I hope someone makes a set to do so.

Wow. I like the look of that repaint.

I am not going to Botcon. If someone goes and wants to sell me their set, I will buy it.

Well I for one am surprised with this set. Anyone that knows me, knows I don't collect Animated toys. Not because I don't like them, only because I didn't want to get into a new toyline cause I wanted to focus mainly on Classics/Generations. I was really hoping for the set to NOT be animated, but since the reveal last nite, I'm starting to come around. Alwasy been a Stunticon fan since the G1 days and I still am. IDK if we will ever get full Stunticons for Clssc/Gen but even the Animated versions of these guys are really appealing to me. I also am NOT a collector for value, but if I am going to Botcon this year, I'm liking the potential value of this set. So I may be doing a 180 on my opinion on the set. The jury is still out though, the complete set I hope will "Wow" me. I'm hoping for a full on Stunticon set as the convention set.

This clinches it ... I am SO going to Botcon this year!!!

Wow, that really came out of left field I'm quite shocked. I'll have to give it some serious thought, despite the fact they don't combine (Combiners are a toy designer's nightmare, people!), and the fact I can't go

Don't worry about heads, I'm fairly certain we'll get at least 4 new ones among the boxset and Souvenirs

btw The Blurr mold is currently in use for the Animated Transtech Cheetor exclusive, wouldn't that exclude him from the list of possible molds?

Since when does Counterpuch NOT have stuff to buy in the dealer room? There's got to be some minicons or something that you'd want.

The big reason why I want to go to Botcon is for the Sunday sales. I missed them in 2009 and I really want a chance to fill out my AEC stuff.

I'm still waiting to see the other figures in this set, but for now, I want it. I'm a fan of unique pieces and this is unique enough for me to want it.


Then again... I'm prone to buying just about anything with a TF logo on it. That's why my collection literally has something from every line in it.

Probably...

My wish list:

Motormaster = Ultra Magnus, new head
Drag Strip = Lockdown, new head
Breakdown = ?? (I could see Sentinel Prime with a new head, Blurr, but Cheetor may kill that, or Arcee, but not sure)
Wildrider = Rodimus

Souvenirs:
Chromia and Paradron Medic from Arcee
BotCon '01 Arcee Black Arachnia

Overcharge from Blitzwing

Darkwing and Dreadwind from Jetfire/Jetstorm

Cykill from Oil Slick

Punch/Counterpunch and Breakdown would beg to differ.

O, all-knowing Counterpunch, divine collector of Mini-Cons, please enlighten us

Oh. My. God. I love Animated and I love the Stunticons. It's like Fun Pub are dangling the universe in front of me.
I hate that I can't get to BotCon yet - the earliest will be 2012. All of the toys that come out (especially Shattered Glass, G2 Redux, and this) are awesome, and the entire event sounds like a festival dedicated to awesomeness. Why can't BotCon migrate over to England every now and then?

I'll wait until the full line-up of convention figs is available before I decide what to purchase (if anything), but I am quite interested with this main set. I just started collecting Animated this past year (I know, way to be late) but I'm quite pleased with the figs I've found. They don't mesh as well with Classics figs as I'd hope (although Wreck-Gar and Grimlock are probably staying in my Classics collection), but I've come to appreciate their uniqueness. This year will (hopefully) be my first Botcon ever, so here's hoping to a great line-up with which I can spend gross amounts of money on

I don't think he mean me but rather that the exclusive for the club last year was Punch/Counterpunch and G2 Breakdown was in the set with the same mold.

Right. Again, my need for specifics does me in.

i agree with the cykill, darkwing/dreadwind and overcharge souvenier sets
but here is my line up of the main set
drag strip = blurr ( new head)
dead end = jazz
wild rider = lock down (new head)
breakdown = rodimus (new head)
motor master = either ultra magnus or bulkhead both would need a new head
souvenier sets
1: cykill = oil slick and overcharge = blitzwing
2: darkwing and dreadwind = jetfire and jetstorm (new heads on both)and hound = swindle (new head)
3: an army builder set or maybe a set of g2 dinobots to tie in with both last and this years sets
please tell me what you all think of my ideas for the sets

gotta agree with the oil slick to cy-kill. the mold seems to be made for the renegade.
im a little amazed that breakdown will be in 2 botcons in a row. this one i hope to get

DavidT wrote:I like the idea of G2 Dinobots... They could do a blue or turqouise Grimlock, a red or green Slag, ahem, I mean Snarl... and wait! There wasn't a color variation on swoop was there?

Sludge and Swoop never made it to G2.

G2 Dinobots were Grimlock, Slag, and Snarl.

Grimlock came in silver, blue, and green variants.
Snarl came in red and silver, I believe.
Slag came in silver and green, I believe.

I really wasnt big into Animated. Okay, I didnt like it in the least. But my son loved it, and thanks to Animated, we got those awesome Activator toys that I love. I think this is really cool for fans of Animated to flesh out their collections with some really cool repaints. The Jazz figure is pretty sweet as is.

Missing last years Con really sucked. Hell, 2010 sucked for me overall, and I really don't wanna miss out this year. I hope the rest of the set can make a trip to Cali (Wow, Cali, Disney World, then back to Cali, FunPub must think all TF Collectors are billionaires) to see my most awesome Seibertronian friends.

And a BIIIGGGGG Welcome Back to my man Robofreak, great to see you on here again man.

ok im new to the whole transformers collecting thing like less than ayear...i really like this set though. how do non attendees pick one up or is that impossible? illbe stuck taking summer classes so i can get out of college early and wont be able to go but an animated stunticons sounds like something i might like.

i cant wait to add these guys to my collection! god this is gonna be awesome my animated decepticons are out numbered by the bots :/

I'm glad to be back. Hopefully I'll see you at Botcon. Eveyrhting is going to depend on me getting some funds soon.

I do hope that things have gotten better for you First Gen. Things were rough last time we talked.

Does anyone need a 2011 Giant Reign 1? If I can seel my bike, I can make it to Botcon. Since I can't physically ride it anymore, I might as well sell it.
