My main question though, is don't those antennae impede her transformation? I haven't transformed my Animated Arcee in a few months, but isn't her head kind of snugly wrapped up inside her car mode?

No one is learning anything about customization here, they're learning how to put a Gunpla together.
Not to mention, there seems to be no reason that BotCon can't make the kits available as a convention add on for little to no cost if they're going to bother making them at all.
I haven't even wanted nor really been envious of the past two year's custom figures, but all this is is an assembly line class.

One of the attendee exclusives will be using it, too. Guarantee it. It wouldn't make sense to create a new head mold JUST for the CC class.
Dead Metal joked about Animated Nightbeat. Maybe that's an attendee exclusive. We already know Fun Pub loves that character, am I right?

What, Nightbeat can't be a woman?
JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:It Is Him wrote:What, Nightbeat can't be a woman? Or at least half of one?
No. Neither can the rumored Autotroopers. And no, being controlled by girls in another continuity does not count.

It Is Him wrote:Funpub already apologized to everyone for the G2 Sideswipe screw-up at Botcon. Their explanation was that they have the same guy host the class every year, he asked to do the Sideswipe mold that year and they obliged. When they saw the finished product, their reaction was (I paraphrase) "Oh Sh**, we didn't realize it would be THAT cool," and they promised to make a different G2 Sideswipe another time that would be available to more people.
