The Energon Pub

ok...is there a dinosaur in the Cybertron toyline? Or is this a Beast Machines repaint of T-Wrecks (which is actually a repaint of Beast Wars Megatron? I'm not intimately familiar with G2 but the only blue tyranosaurus was Grimlock.

This year's botcon set is going for some big sized TFs. Makes me regret not having money to get a set. Never had money to get any of the Botcon figures.

It's actually the deluxe-sized Cybertron Megatron

I'm hoping for a new headmold.

Ah! Ok then. Got confused on the amalgamated name. Good deal either way.

Based on past experience, we can expect three sets of add-ons. Below is what I'm aware of - what am I missing?

Main Set - Sparks, Clench, Breakdown, Streetstar, Sky-Bite
Add-On - G2 Grimlock (?)
Build-Set - Sharkticons
Set One - Rapido, Scorch with Shattered Glass Ravage
Set Two - Repainted Energon Scorponok (?) and ???

The Scorponok is Double Punch, and you're forgetting Slicer, the E-Downshift repaint. He's the rumored Freebie. And stop it with the Grimlock already, it's not him, trust me.

It's not Grimlock.

Until we get official word or someone offers a better answer than G2 Grimlock, it's G2 Grimlock.

I think a G2 Cindersaur figure is an awesome addition, the firecons and sparkbots never get any love.

Is it Grimlock? I don't care what it is, it looks ridiculous and I kinda need it.

Maybe.

Hehe. So why is no one talking about SG Ravage and the Classics Hound repaint? Just curious. I didn't notice a thread for them here. I'm fairly certain they'd have to be Botcon exclusives as well. Which basically means we've got a literal barrage of toys this year.

It's overshadowed by the "who is the blue dino" mystery (he's not Grimlock, what would he do with a Megatron body anyway!). The identities of the rest have already been established, or have well supported guesses. This Dino appeared out of the blue, pardon the pun, with no possible clue.

Him being a G2 Firecon which never saw release is probable, the buckethead is similar to the Firecons', and one member was a dragon/dino (albeit a horned one).

So since I'm not seeing any sort of master list for Botocn 2010 figures, I figured here of all places would be decent place to have that. What we know so far:
5 figure boxed set includes:
Spark
Clench
Breakdown
Sky-Byte
and Streetstar

There's at least 2 add on sets which could be any combination of:
Scorch w/SG Ravage
Double Punch
Rapido
and "Cindersaur"

Which raises the question, if the Sharkticon isn't the freebie and is indeed a 3 pack like we've all been told, then who is the single freebie? See we're still down one deluxe at least by my count. Is there a figure I'm forgetting? All you peeps with sources can chime in at any time.

Why is everyone forgetting the E-Downshift repaint? As Slicer? He's the rumored freebie. It's also possible he's SG Wheeljack, since they share colors (and Wheeljack uses the Energon body in fiction),

That'd be it! So we're all accounted for after all. Thanks Jelze! Oh, and you mean SG Wheeljack. Who the eff is Slicer? I kid.

Well, the symbol will make all the difference, right? Either way it'll be purple
