When they say 'every animated fan will want' this box set, the only way I can see that (given I already have all these molds) is if they included the unreleased figures like Blackout and Marauder Megatron.

Mmmmmm.... Marauder Megatron....

Hm, I thought for sure the Rodimus mold was gonna be Wildrider. Kinda iffy on the color scheme though, I guess I just really wanted that mold in Wildrider colors. It looks allright though, Dead End still looks the best.

This is my guess as to witch ones they will be: prime = motormaster, soundwave = wildrider, blur = dragstrip, so that is my theory.

My guess is the last stunticons will be made from Blurr, Lockdown & Rodimus.
And to add to the guessing, I'll say:
Rodimus = Wildrider (since it has been done before)
Blurr = Brakedown (because another yellow repaint of Blurr would be silly)
Lockdown = Dragstrip (OK, I don't like this, he would make a better Brakedown)

Ok, those last 2 could go either way, but I would NOT buy the cheetor repaint if they make Blurr into Dragstrip.

So guessing the next announcement will be a Lockdown repaint is a pretty safe bet.

OK, so THAT was wrong. #-o

But I'm sticking to my guess on which molds get used.

I still doubt that they'll use Blurr for Dragstrip (though I would prefer it) so I guess Blurr will be Wildrider. That would look good, but Lockdown as Dragstrip, doesn't seem to fit. :-?

They get a point for not making Wildrider the Rodimus mold just because that's what Takara did for Henkei. And also now we know one of the few remolded heads.

You could honestly get rid of the bow and no one would care.

I'm realy hoping that Motormaster is a repaint/retool of Ultra Magnus instead of another Optimus Prime black repaint

Or WreckGar maybe?

Or Ultra Magnus. Or Bulkhead (who I'm surprised no one has even considered yet). Heck, if you use Leader Bulkhead, you can even retool Headmaster to look like Menasor...

Personally, I'm hoping they go outside of the box and give us some out-of-left-field character choices... specifically, Arcee. It's a nice little mold, and I could easily see her as the team's resident braggart or semi-psychotic.

Also, while I can see the "crash test registration mark" look in the Stunticon logo, to me, it looked like a spin on the BMW logo. I guess it works both ways... sleek and stylish sports cars, who like to crash?

Marauder Megatron? Is this a new figure or a re-decoed-one?

And if, then which? 'Cause I haven't heard of it.

Marauder Megatron was the triple changer model that was shown in the Allspark Almanac II.

I find myself loving that idea actually.

I like these ideas. :] Mmm...I rather like the idea of Motormaster using Bulkhead....Agh. Now I might get disappointed!

Bring on the bulkhead mold!

Just gonna throw my guesses in there before the last 3 reveals.

Dragstrip from Lockdown with new head mold
Wildrider from Arcee
Motormaster from Voyger Bulkhead with new head mold

The BotCon website, as promised, has revealed the next figure in the 2011 BotCon box set: Stunticon Drag Strip fashioned from Animated Arcee.

We'll keep you posted with all the latest BotCon news here at Seibertron.com!

Wow.

That's pretty hideous, IMHO.

I'm offically out for Botcon this year.

News Credits: 6 · Thu Feb 10, 2011 5:06 pm

Wow... that's... well... lame.

Outside of being yellow and purple and having a spoiler there's really no similarity to G1 Dragstrip. I wouldn't even qualify it as an homage, let alone a recreation. Plus the colors just look bad on that mold.

Also, I'm wondering whether I should think it's funny or offensive that they dressed a male transformer up as a female transformer and named it "Dragstrip".
