Excellent! I want to know, where is Botcon this year?

[Counterpunch]

What specific modern era (Armada onward) molds have been removed from contention for club exclusives due to mold wear or other odd reasoning?

[tigertracks 24]

Dammit, *edits post for stupidity*

Good Q CP!

[Mkall]

What other themes for exclusives, Botcon or otherwise, have been explored and rejected for one reason or another?

Further to that, what goes into deciding what an exclusive character should be?

[Ronny the Mighty]

Would a full prime set be a good botcon Idea (EX. Various transformers in optimus prime color scheme, EG, Wheeliemus prime, Kupimus Prime, Cyclonus Prime, and Megatronimus Prime)

Any updates on the release/shipping of the Seacon sets (and Nightbeat)? Last I heard was "four weeks from September 30th", but then I'm only rarely on the Club Forums so not sure if it was addressed there.

EDIT - Never mind; coincidentally, just answered here.

Have you thought about doing a Hasbro Copyright Panel at Botcon? It would be a fun chance for the fans to hear some of the reasoning, etc. behind name changes and what the process looks like.

I want to know if Nightbeat has started shipping yet. I didn't order the Seacons and even voted to have it shipped first because of that very fact but now people are starting to get confirmation on the Seacons but still no word on Nightbeat.

Honestly between City Commander and Nightbeat and having an order in for both since day 1 for each (CC thru BBTS since April), I'm staring to lose my patience.

All I need is some good news on my favorite gumshoe.

What is the most likely venue to see an expansion of the Shattered Glass Universe? BotCon? Club Exclusives? Crazy retail exclusives?
