Diggin' it.
Also, RIP to the UT era Transformers logo, looks like even on Botcon sets we're movin' on to the new one.

Is it not all to align with official Hasbro products..? For convenience, I mean.

Looks really cool. I'd like a peek inside to see how the figures are arranged. I'm guessing the 4 smaller 1s in vehicle mode while Scorponok is in 'bot mode. (And Fox, better be on your game! 
)

I like it.
I'd like it even more if they would have just marketed this set as a classics set. Get rid of the silly theme and made up faction symbols. I'm very thankful Scorponok & Devcon were made that way.

They can't do that. They destroyed the Classicsverse. These are Wings Universe toys.Doctor McGrath wrote:I'd like it even more if they would have just marketed this set as a classics set.

You do know that the Star Seeker symbol is already on the Thundertron RID Prime figure, right?
Only the Knights emblem is new.

I'm cool with Cannonball's symbol. I can get over Ginrai's, it's whatever, but yeah I'd have rather it just have been an Autobot symbol.

I'm not interested in their fiction either. I've tried, just can't get into it.
Yes, I do.
Yeah, i see your point. Cannonball works for sure. I'd be more ok with Ginrai if the symbol on the wind-vane wasn't so big. I get they were going for the shield look but man is it huge. I'd been more accepting of the knight symbols on his shoulder & a regular bot logo on the "shield." Then it could be more of like a cop's badge or a Rodimus star instead of him screaming, "hey!!! I'm a knight, see!" Haha.

Now that is a great looking box! I'm still not a fan of Ferak and Ginrai and I'm on the fence about Cannonball, but my buddy Robby's artwork here looks absolutely amazing. He is truly one of the all-time great Transformers artists. This box is a HUGE improvement over the 2009, 2011 and 2013 sets.

More BotCon 2014 news comes in, and we're still on the artistic streak. After the exclusive set box art reveal earlier, the Botcon Twitter account has shown a picture of the official 2014 convention t-shirt, featuring Scorponok! Check it out below.

I've been F5'ing as hard as my fingers and keyboard will allow and I have tabs open for Botcon's Facebook and twitter to check any updates.
Today has been less than productive.

Fire Guts Ginrai
What a great name. I mean, forget Optimus Prime. Why would you want a subpar name like that when you could have Fire Guts. I wonder if its a nickname, like Tommy "Fingers" Magee or Johnny "Shades" Waters?
