I actually think those are quite awesome. Not sure what I think of Drag Strip looking like [being?] a femme of sorts?

I knew they would make an Optimus Repaint.
Kinda knew Lockdown's but I couldn't see Arcee's coming. I was expecting Blurr's

So that's:

Motormaster - Optimus Prime
Dead End - Jazz
Breakdown - Rodimus Minor
Drag Strip - Arcee
WildRider - Lockdown

Not in the boxset, but most likely it's the Attendee Exclusive. I call Breakdown in G2 deco.

If you're right, then someone over at Botcon has a serious hard on for G2 Breakdown! :lol:

I would not be surprised if we get an Animted G2 Breakdown. He seems to have become a bit of a Botcon Icon for some reason. Probably because he was the first Botcon figure.

Yeah, I'd say that it would be an Attendee Exclusive. I also agree it is most likely Breakdown in is G2 colors.

I hope for Primus sake Hasbro will include ugly extra lego-like bricks (which a lot of TF fans will hate if they did) to make them combine. PLEASE, I'll have to ebay it since I'm a poor student in the netherlands (middle east like country).
Me wantz, I'm going to have to sell my car :s

You know I was just looking at the homepage of the site and saw the banner with all 5 together and the more I looked at the set, the more I liked it.

Individually the Stunticons are not very impressive, but altogether, they look like they will actually end up being a pretty cool set. I'm thinking about getting a loose set so when I make the combiner add-on, I can display them altogether.

I think I will enjoy owning these.

Exactly. I have already started testing out some bits for combination. HOPEFULLY, a 3rd party company will do this for me.

Bugger, it doesn'look like they'll combine but someone out there will make it happen *cough*freny_rumble*cough*

Probably, but given TFA's extensive use of deception and espionage in story, I would not be shocked if you get an Animated Breakdown repainted as G2 Sideswipe, with the engine/sigil panel replaced by a piece that's flat on both sides, with a Stunticon symbol on one side and an elite guard symbol on the other.

This is exactly what we take in to consideration when we worked out the box set. When displayed together, in both robot and vehicle mode, the 5 of these guys (and gal) are all perfect for each other.

We wouldn't have wanted it any other way...

I hope you enjoy!

Pete@BotCon: Are we on the right track here with the idea of G2 Breakdown ending up in this set?

To me it seems only logical that he would be either the add-on or the souvenir seeing how it would help offset the cost and having to make a new addition to the mold and that since this is G1 Breakdown's first appearance at Botcon, I think that the appearance of his "twin" would only make sense.

Im sorry but those are not my stunticons.......I've tried to like this set but Im just not feelin it..It's funny though the only figures I like Dragstrip and Brakedown....Sigh ah well, looks like it's just more fansproject goodness for me this year..

Sat Feb 26, 2011 11:28 pm

Sipping on a Colt 45 reading all these comments about Motormaster and laughing my ass off !!! I cant believe some fans are dissing each other on twitter. I hate twitter. And why must people continue to use the stupid term "fan boy" ??? It just sounds f**king corny.

As far as motormaster, I said it from the begining it should have been Wreck Gar. Remove the forklifts and you have a short fat animated style semi truck complete with a trailer like the G1 toy. Black Prime sucks.

Except that Wildrider must be taller than everyone else!

We are really excited to see the other figures. Especially if four of them happen to be Ironfist and Autoroopers and they have a new headsculpt!

Now, that's a good idea.

I agree with Rated X, Wreck gar would have made a better Motormaster

News Credits: 1 · Sun Feb 27, 2011 12:33 am

Even if you remove the forklifts, the end part still looks liek a garbage truck to me. I kinda think they did right by making him a Prime mold. Even if it's overdone.

Sun Feb 27, 2011 2:06 am

I still think animated ultra magnus would've worked pretty well as motormaster

You know I was in total agreement until I started knocking around the Animated molds for the Menasor mode. As I pulled down figures from my Animated shelf, I took a good look at UM. Other than his size, he really does not look much like Motormaster. Plus he has a pesky Elite Guard insignia molded into his chest. And in defense of Prime, he is a little taller than Wreckgar, which is nice for a team leader.

-- It would be so cool to see them if they could merge into Menasor?!!
-- Maybe if there was an add-on kit to do just that?!! ; Anyone else wanna see that?!

In a series of Tweets, @DerrickJWyatt posted an avant garde, brooding poem "written" by BotCon Dead End:

@DerrickJWyatt wrote:AND NOW: A poem, by Dead End.

Dead End wrote:I collapse to the oil stained floor of the garage, cracked and crumbled from the attack’s barrage
the throbbing tormenting boredom of this existence, spans unrelenting into infinite distance
painful longing to return to dust, we are all just food for rust.

The end.

Does this get you more excited for BotCon 2011? Will we see more characterization of the other four members of the Stunticons?
