Please god no more Shattered Glass toys and definitely no Evac repainted as Galvatron. Worst repaint idea ever. I'd rather have another Megatron repainted into Galvatron than Evac as Galvatron.

I get that SG isn't your thing but you're saying it's a terrible idea for them to repaint the toy they used for the idea of SG Galvatron into that character. Huh? We're talking about this guy: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... /evac/691/ I'd be down for that all day.

I hardly see how that's the worst repaint idea ever. Obviously you've never seen this: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/413/ ... 15xyc0.jpg :grin:

That makes one of us then. I thought it was a bad idea when they used it for Galvatron in the comics and still think it's a bad idea. If SG isn't my thing, seeing Galvatron transform into a helicopter from the Evac mold is definitely not on my list of things that I want to see get made. In my book, Galvatron does NOT transform into a helicopter.

You're taking me too literally.

Not intentionally, hence the smilie. I... heh, anything seems to go in SG and it's one of the things I like about it. Sure the mirror universe constant is the hard sell but things like Galvatron being a helicopter in it don't even phase me or make me second guess. It's just different. I'm curious what mold you think would work for that concept. Then again, that's asking you to elaborate on creative and positive things for something you dislike.

Personally, I really want a grab bag this year as far as the figure sets go. Revisit several different past themes and just go crazy. I can get behind a solid one off box set of figures we weren't gonna get otherwise. How they can stretch that out into 5 other characters and a troopbuilder isn't impossible. I'd just rather pay Botcon money for stuff that isn't Animated molds. Don't misunderstand me, I loved Animated. The toys, the show, the comic, I have nearly all of it. I just feel we should get more(read:better) for our money.

Crayola Convoy is definitely one-of-a-kind, but since it was made for a Lucky Draw for a kids coloring contest, I wouldn't put that on a list of "worst repaint ideas ever" since it's such an extremely limited release of a toy that had already received multiple variants.

Man I love this site. I have learned So much about Transformers here, but this Robot Masters Convoy....wow. That is horrid! Kids did this? I'm assuming the kid was... well...special? I know, I'm sorry, but eesh...On your mark, get set, TERRIBLE!

Last week, the organizers of BotCon posted a Twitter feed announcing a Transformers fansite poll to choose the next figure reveal from the upcoming BotCon 2011 Animated Stunticons set. Seibertron.com and its member participated in this poll and, along with fans from other sites, picked Drag Strip as their choice for the next reveal by a wide margin. The BotCon team has posted a new tweet this morning confirming that Drag Strip was the unanimous choice and will be revealed later today!

Previously revealed from this set are Stunticons Deadend and Breakdown. Wildrider and Motormaster will be revealed in the coming weeks.

my prediction is that he will be a straight rerelease of TFA Bumblebee. with a sticker to make his face turquoise but not one to make his helmet purple.

Well, thank goodness for that

Okay, I have a theory. What if they are waiting to reveal Motormaster because he is going to come with some sort of attachments to allow the other four combine to form Menasor? Just a wish really.

And it will remain a wish, as FP never does such extensive retools.
