And a few of those listed weren't made into toys.

But I'm hoping some of the unreleased ones do get released at some point, like the gorgeous Transmetal Fractyl. =P~

I just wanna snag those five figures shown so far, and even then the two I'm mainly interested in are Scorponok and Devcon.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

As a heads up, Generations Springer was unavailable for the Club to use this year, so no knight use for him.

shame, he'd make a great Knight of some kind.

Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I think he could still be used in the comic, though. As himself in his Generations body, like how Octane was in last year's comic in his Universe Tankor body. That way we could put the retail figure with this year's BotCon toys. :D

Yeah, but I'm talking about making Springer be a knight for this year in a way that they could use the mold in the story without having to use it in the set of exclusives.

Besides, I'm already a proud owner of that Dynobot, anyway.

Taking unreleased BotCon toys into account, Alpha Trion as a repaint of Thundertron is another perfect contender, calling back to that proposed BM Snarl and even BWII Lioconvoy repaints. Problem is, FunPub generally removes all electronics, and whole weapons in the case of Megaplex last year. :-?

Admittedly, I've never really been fond of electronics in my Transformers. I barely use them and having to deal with the batteries afterwards is a bit of a pain.

I've been reading more of Tornado's Facebook posts, and there's one entry that has me thinking about a potential souvenir figure. At first, I figured it'd seem an unlikely choice given how old the mold I'm think of is, but this year has been full of surprising returns of old molds, so I'll give this a whirl.

Beast Wars Neo Break as the Star Seeker called Rockhopper (who may or may not be hinted at being a Predacon, a Beast Era Predacon).

THERE ARE ALWAYS FIGURES FROM THE BOX SET WHO are repainted, I don't think it will be Devcon because his and scourges heads are to "classic", Scorps will be used later as black Zarak (I think), The Ratchet mold may use the unreleased head, and prime is always a popular choice, and a hope they use cyclonus but with a new head.

Yeah, I do predict Black Zarak being released at some point. Since FP have already done the retooling and since G1 BZ is both a grail and a Gold Plastic sufferer that's a swing. I don't know if we would see it at BotCon though or if they would save that ace-in-the-hole for BotCon 2015/TFSS 3.0.

As for the Custom Class figure I would say Cybertron Red Alert from PRID Ratchet but that seems a little too on those nose. SG Cannonball as Sir Francis Drake? Cyclonus with a new headsculpt as BM Jetstorm? Scourge as Mindwipe? Who can say?

BlackZarak wasn't a Headmaster in the fiction (which the Club often leans more towards over toy portrayals). And the original Energon Scorponok headsculpt was already BlackZarak's head plus a visor.

Normally I would agree but since the club already made that tooling change (at likely no light expense) I doubt they will twiddle their thumbs and never do anything with it again.
