Lets all speculate/guess what the 7 Botcon 2012 Souvenir/add-on figures will be.

It could be 7 figures,maybe more,most likely 6. either way let the speculating & guessing begin below.

here's my speculations/guesses: I won't bother to list what these characters/toys go into SG or Classics. because that would get too confusing.

(1) Ratbat,using the HFTD Windwipe voyager sized toy.

(2)Generation 2 Ransak using the 2010 HFTD Highbrow toy mold.

(3)Seeker trio set. using either the HFTD Deluxe Terradive toy mold or the ROTF Thrust toy mold.

(4)Springer or 1988 mega pretender Cross-Blades or vortex using the 2010 HFTD Tomahawk Voyager sized toy.

(5)Jhiaxus,using the RTS Lugnuts 2010 toy mold.

(6)Liokaiser,mixing & matching the PCC toys to create the combiner

(7)Swindle,using the HFTD Brawn deluxe toy.

(8)My guess is the 2012 botcon box set figure called "Treadshot will use the HFTD deluxe mindset toy mold.

(9)I don't think the botcon 2012 convention nor club will bother to use the RTS Perceptor deluxe toy mold. because it's a weird looking toy. I don't think TFCC will attempt to turn RTS Perceptor into Reflector.

(10)I don't think TFCC will bother to use the RTS Deluxe wreckgar toy mold. because the toy is over used already. the mold already has wreckgar & two junkion characters attached to it. the only other cool option is for TFCC to call it gobots Cykill,recolor it in ckykill colors & give it a new cykill robot head.

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
The Terradive mold is off-limits, and I actually proposed that for Metalhawk. Tomahawk and the rest of his wave should be as well, due to them being completed too late to consider. Also, we'll have 4 figures, plus a possible Troop Builder pack, not to mention the Freebee and Customization figures. And one could to be "off-theme", meaning Wings figures are possible as well. So a minimum of 5 molds total.

Besides, we already have a Classics Springer (BotCon 2007 and Universe) and Ratbat (Universe) ;)

Here are my wishes out of the possibilities:

1) SG Perceptor out of RtS Perceptor
2) SG Grapple or Classics Hauler out of RtS Grappel
3) Classics Road Rage should SG Tracks not be red

That's all I can think of.
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.

Botcon 2012 is using the RTS Laser prime deluxe toy for SG Ultra magnus. RTS Deluxe laser prime came out months after terradive & tomahawk.

That's what puzzling me. I suspect those molds were completed for the Generations line, but held back. I don't know, ask Sabrblade.

the G2 Prime toy was completed, and ready to ship, and then someone realised they'd made them in all-black plastic with teal and magenta accents and the whole lot had to be pulped and remade.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Ratchet, Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, Wheelie or 3rd Party Arcee, Springer, City Commander (and Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

HFTD tomahawk & terrdive were both released before August 2010. this is plenty of time for terradive & tomahawk to qualify & get used as botcon 2012 convention toys. I suspect we will see terradive or tomahawk as botcon 2012 convention toys because their decent molds,their available to use & the selection is slim to pick thru for TFCC owners/staff due to the movie verse toys that appeared in the movie being off limits. also Transformers with liscensed alt modes are off limits for botcon/club toys.

Well, it's supposed to be Shattered Glass VS Classics and most of the boxset is SG so the other figures should be predominately Classics. The two that are included are Japanese (and European in Overlords case) so I think that will be the focus. So who does that mean? Deathsaurus, Megazarak, Leozack/Lyzack, Black Shadow and some others have already been done so maybe Chromedome, Star Saber, Victory Leo, Dinoking (from BW Neo Magnatron), Apeface (from BW 10th Anniversary line Primal), Minerva, Dai Atlas and the like are all still possibilities. And that's just from Japan.

Chromedome was released in the US, and no AEC molds. That includes BW 10th Anniversary Primal. ;)

With the theme being Classics vs Shattered Glass, there's basically no limit to what FunPub can come up with.
