And with scant days remaining before Botcon, we have now seen all of the figures that will be there.

lol China...

Good shit.

Heh, who'd have thought we'd get Double Punch? Probably means that the mold is in use and a "Generations" Scorponok in G1 colors is finally coming.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Double Punch came out as expected. Say, didn't some souvenir sets have new heads of their own? I know Rapido has a new one, I wonder if any of the rest did... Let me count:

2005
3: Ironhide/Ratchet, Chromia/Flareup, Deathsaurus

2006
3: Optimus Primal, Cheetor/Tigatron, Megatron

2007
3: Thrust (wings), Dreadwing, Alpha Trion

2008
4: Goldbug, Blurr, Jazz, Megatron

2009
4: Kup, Flak, Scourge/Sweeps, Razorclaw

2010
4 (so far): Clench, Sky-Byte, Breakdown, Rapido

Maybe we'll get a fifth new retool?

Double Punch looks ridiculously awesome and G2 colors normally aren't my thing. This years figures have won me over. Looks like my Classics display will have a very loud section. Oh, and Clench? Lookin' real good baby.

i'm suprised to see how good doublepunch looks!

can anyone tell if he has the normal crane scorpion tail or the dark scorponok tail with the cyberkey gimmick ?

[Angelus]

I don't get it...
Everybody is talking about Double Punch and Slicer...
GREAT! I agree!
But...
The theme is G2 and both of them are G1.

So... my question is: will there be classics as well as G2 and S(hattered)G(lass) or, pray tell, are these two not Double Punch and Slicer but simple SG Wheeljack and SG Scorponok?
Think about it...

You know who else isn't G2 for this years figures? Nearly all of them. I don't care what generation or universe they fit into. I'm getting two of each if they fit two universes. That's me though.

[Mindmaster]

The last two I've never seen or heard of before. Have they been reported? If so, I may have missed it. If we did report it, can someone give me a link to them?

The regular tail, the long orange cockpit is a giveaway.

For the sake of simplicity, some European-exclusive G1 figures get thrown into G2 by some fans, especially when they have the bright neon coloring G2 is known/notorious for. And they *are* Slicer and Double Punch. As SG Fortress Maximus had G1 Scorponok's colors in fiction, it's safe to assume the reverse is true for SG Scorponok.

If you want to be nitpicky:

Breakdown: G2 deco
Clench: EU exclusive G1 into G2, G1 name
Streetstar (Streetwise): G2 deco
Spark: EU exclusive G1 into G2, G2 name
Sky-Byte: Robots in Disguise

Slicer: G1 EU exclusive
Rapido: G1 into G2
Scorch: G1 EU exclusive
Double Punch: G1 EU exclusive
"BWX Megatron repaint": ???
Sharkticon: G1

Mind you, the Souvenir set do not necessarily follow the main theme. If anything, it's "anything released between when the first US line ended and Beast Wars"
