Weapon: Diffraction Sword

Rumor I heard was that Octopunch would be the free attendee figure, but I personally find that hard to believe since he is a Voyager mold. Usually the freebie is deluxe sized. Also, the freebie is sometimes (but not always) a repaint of something else in the set (08 Ricochet, 09 Leozack). By that logic, Kickoff would be a good candidate to be the freebie. But we really won't know for sure til we get there.

Weapon: No Weapon
I'd be good with either of the above...not interested in Octopunch, and at worst, can live without Swindle even if he's Classics accurate colors since FansProject's fills the need. If it's funky SG colors, don't need either way.

Unlikely, since that would break the trend stated above, namely it being a repaint of another toy in the total lineup:

2005 Flamewar: repaint of E-Arcee, used for Chromia and Flareup
2006 Unit 2 (Tigatron): repaint of Cheetor
2007 Mirage
2008 Richochet: repaint of Jazz
2009 Leozack: repaint of E-Starscream, used for Skyquake
2010 Decepticon Slice
2011 Fisitron aka Ironfist: repaint of Autotrooper

So far we've only had two exceptions.
Top 5 Priorities: 1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha 2) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor 3) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow) 4) BW Neo D-35 Magmatron 5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also in the market for an Arms Micron Firebolt and Pinpointer.

I really thought SG Ironhide had a shot, but what I've heard instead is:

Macabre as Black Shadow repaint
Pretender Starscream as Black Shadow repaint
And
G2 SG Prime as G2 prime repaint

I really wanted an SG Ironhide...
