Shawn Tessman, the Teacher of the Botcon Customizing Class has posted a small tid-bit of information regarding the character to be used for the class on the Transformers Club.com forums.

Shawn Tessman :

Ok, a small bone. It's an existing character, not something I made up. For the money youse guys are paying, I'd at least want there to be half a chance the character you make is one you might care about. Shawn

We'll keep you posted when more information becomes available.

My appologies if this has already been covered by someone. I do know of several threads involving the 2 versions of arcee and the dreadwing figure for the movie. Did not see anything about these 3 though.

my opinion on em? These look kinda cool, and I do like those molds, so I'd probably get them.

Oh might I add for those of you who decided to keep reading my comments without clicking the links first, as always these are from spx_toys

Wow, for those who have been waiting for the re-emergence of the Smallest Transformers line, the news has been incredible today.

It was just reported early this morning that there was a WST Ramjet on Ebay.

Well, now thanks to metaphorge we have a link to pics of Ramjet with smallest Thrust...and Dirge, that's right the coneheads are together again, and I'm not talking about Dan Aykroyd!

Check it out here.

These are exciting pictures! Is the smallest Transformers line on the way back?

Edit: Headshot and metaphorge have let us know that the two new conehead molds are created by a very talented Ebay seller. It is stated that his items are high quality designs.

Sorry to get everybody's hopes up, but if you like them, check them out on Ebay!
