Odd that there wasn't any preorders for these little guys, but if you want them here they are for 39.99

Price jacked up $5 more than what I paid at TFSource a few months ago. These guys are pretty damn cool, though.

There was a time I would have picked these up without a thought. But there's too much I want and it's time to be picky. I already have the official versions of Powerglide and Seaspray .... those are good enough when these aren't my favorite characters.

But these look pretty nice all in all.

I like these, even the iGear ones, but I think I may collect these if they are repainted. I'm content with Hasbro's Powerglide and Seaspray. I also already have Botcon Huffer that I like.

So come on and bring me Badboy and Rager!! :twisted:

I'll pick em up at Botcon. I like that Seaspray better than the iGear version and I really dig that Powerglide. He stand to be more cartoon oriented but he still looks great to me.

These two guys are great. I highly recommend them.

There's some rumblings going around that BotCon isn't going to allow certain things to be sold this year in the dealer room and that they have the right to confiscate such stuff. It's not yet clear what that includes, but it's probably safe to assume KOs and quite possibly 3rd Party product.

Sounds like the same rumblings we hear every year. The exact duplicate KOs they can do something about. I believe they did this past year. I can't say that as fact though. I can practically guarantee these will be available through a few vendors at least.

Well, apparently the dealers are being informed of such this time and have to sign something which hasn't been done in the past by the sounds of it, so it seems to be more than just talk this time around...I dunno, there's a big hubbub about it on TFW between the dealers and talk of getting a meeting together with FunPub and Hasbro to get the details because the dealers want to know ahead of time what they can and can't sell rather than bringing a van half full of product they're unable to sell.

Yep, excellent quality just like with Battle Tanker. Hover is solid but nothing special. Powerglide on the other hand is great in my opinion. I actually love his look and the transformation is fun. He rides around with me a lot.
