s250 often makes valuable contruibutions to our board, and now he has unveiled photos of the robot modes of BotCon exclusives Double Punch and Slicer, as well as high quality photos of forthcoming Hunt For The Decepticons Scout Oil Pan.

Notably Slicer has both Decepticon and Shattered Glass Autobot faction symbols leading to speculation over whether the figure is Slicer, Shattered Glass Wheeljack or one masquerading as the other.

So SG Wheeljack is masquerading as Slicer? Or maybe they're both retconned into the same character?

The Brakedown repaint doesn't look bad, and neither does the Downshift one. The Scorponok repaint on the other hand... the black and orange look ok, but the teal and pink clash way too much, making it look ugly. Especially his ugly pink face. I wish they made a new mold for Energon Scorponok...

I like the double symbols, personally. Maybe they're having a storyline that crosses dimensions, and these guys end up joining the 'Cons in the standard universe?

Innnnteresting... I'm beyond stoked.

The Wheeljack(E. Downshift) mold has that Autobot symbol molded on. his chest. Is it possible that they just couldn't remove it and really really wanted him to be slicer?

It's already painted purple, designating him a SG Autobot, at the very least. It's interesting to see how this will unfold. I'm rather glad they didn't remove the symbol.

That was my immediate thought too.
Slicer, through the power of the mighty retcon, has always been SG Wheeljack... works for me.

Double Punch looks boss. I really regret never getting the E-Scorpy mold, and those colours look amazing... amazingly cheesy, but that's just how I like 'em.

Oilpan, meh. The figure rocked as Break/Brakedown but this is nothing special to me.

Oh man does he ever! Out of all the Botcon toys this year, this one is the most exciting. Too bad I'll never own him, but since my collection has nothing to do with G2, it's all good.

Oilpan's actually kind of cool, I like the mold in those colors. Same deal with him though, no reason to collect him.

Love the double punch, the rest of them dont do much for me, more then the slicer/sg wheeljack give me a good paintscheme on how to paint up a KO g1 wheeljack.
