BotCon 2012 Coverage: Third-Party Items

Postby El Duque » Sat Apr 28, 2012 2:00 am

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
Despite the restrictions placed on unofficial products, a few still managed so sneak their way into BotCon this year. Though now pictured below site sponsor TFsource had a fully assembled MakeToys MT-03 Yellow Giant on display. One of the employees was handling it rather roughly to show it's stability in combined mode, and it seemed to take the abuse well with no parts coming lose.

Courtesy of on-line retailer Captured Prey:

First we have MasterMind Creations KM-05 Air Screech.

Having missed out on the FansProject Bruticus, the Iron Army version is looking amazing. Can't say I'm a fan of the PCC line but since my son has that model (minus an arm due to dog snacking) I'm totally on board. That's an example of making lemonade out of lemons right there. :KREMZEEK:

Jesus H Christ "Cyclops" looks like he could kill you just by looking at you.

My thoughts exactly, though it is at least true to the original artwork in that way.

Loving the Iron Army, really shows what the PCC could have done. Sadly its posability will probably still be limited thanks to the commander piece.

mmmmm...Iron Army.

(still want some evil Emergency vehicles to go with Smoulder - maybe Movie Barricade and some other Cons who'd work as twisted versions of the Protectobots? That or some cool yellow construction vehicles for Sledge)

Weapon: Electron Gun
Shockwave and the Iron Army... Yes! And HoS Starscream as well. All three Seekers, please. :)
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
