Is that a freshly new head mold, or an existing one? Cuz it very much reminds me of some version of Soundwave.

Too much maroon and the wrong head for Machine Wars Hoist. It's a pass. If they are going to give him a new head, why not get the right look for the continuity?

I'd take that head if they were doing a G1 version, maybe that is one of the souvenirs this year.

I don't have a space in my collection for Machine Wars stuff so I'm not interested this year. Saves cash for all those Masterpieces and things that look like Stunticons.

I saw this and was all like, "Ha, I'm smarter than everyone. Hoist is green, not black." Then I saw Machine Wars, and now I'm all like "aw, I'm dumber than everyone else." :lol:

Looking at this picture in both modes, does anyone else think the Botcon 2007 Huffer mold would have been a better choice ?

Agreed, but they're probably trying to use molds they've never used before and use molds from more current lines. This is a perfect example of why the club needs the ability/permission to do more than just new heads for figures. The one they chose could somewhat work if they were able to add a peg hole to the truckbed and create a tow arm for it on the back that pegs into it. It wouldn't be that hard to kitbash (assuming you had a tow arm laying around).

You'd think that for what these things cost, they'd be willing to do more than they do (I'm sure the club is, but Hasbro probably has some pretty strict limitations on what they are willing to do for these limited exclusive releases).

Weapon: Twin Shock-Concussion Missiles
Not sure what I was expecting but this might possibly be the least exciting "first reveal" BotCon figure I've ever seen. Here's hoping the next reveal has a little "wow" or "that's really awesome" or "that's very clever" to it.
