That looks horrible. I had so hoped that my source was wrong. Hopefully it looks better in person. Really wish they had used Wreck-Gar.

TeenTianswhat?

I can see a head swap coming for this one.

That is soooooooo wrong looking....

But the body color is cool and all.

^This x 1000

Wreck-Gar was the more appropriate mold to use. I know people whined about his neck, but if FP can do 2007's Thrust Wings, they could have changed that too.

Just like if we're getting that supposed Toxitron, I'd rather have the Wreck-Gar mold for that figure as well. It fits the name so much better with a garbage truck rather than a fire truck.

Maybe, the head on Motormaster would look a bit better if they would have sculpted the square outside portion as a helmet, rather than an actual part of the head. I dunno.

I appreaciate what botcon does (sometimes) without being a member but....

think the deluxe prime would've looked better. still say its to early for an animated botcon set you can still find all of these molds in stores & since theres very little remolding, they're not really all that special.

Yup, just like myself and several others figured. So we've got, essentially, a Shattered Glass TFA Voyager Prime with a swapped head that just barely surpasses 2 dimensional face detailing, that makes the team leader for a combiner team that actually doesn't combine, and this is the exclusive set for the biggest annual convention devoted to Transformers held on the face of God's green earth? I'm just a touch underwhelmed. Granted, I still like it more than most of the DotM toys I've seen but I still think that, after some of our past Convention sets, that the bar would be just a little bit higher. Just my opinion, everyone has their own tastes and for those of you that like this years offering, I'm genuinely happy for you but this one just isn't quite my cup of tea.

When I look at the other figures in this set, their repaints/remolds make them look like entirely different characters. Motormaster looks like a Prime repaint that someone broke the head off of, and then stuck a lego block in there to look like a head.

he's a dick in a box.

Ya, but then he'd be a garbage truck, not a semi...

He still isn't a Semi, he is a fire truck.
