Who the **** caresWho is Olin?
Seriously though, if there's a reason everyone should be interested in this character, I don't see it yet. I'm sure he's central to the plot somehow, but I think most of us are more interested in seeing the rest of the bot reveals at this point (or at any point, really).

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.
And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

We know that the box set consists of three pirates and two knights. Two of those pirate toys and one of those knight toys have all already been revealed to be Cannonball, Ferak w/ Tornado, and Devcon, leaving only two empty spots remaining.
And of the in-story organics that have been revealed thus far are Squirm, Cannonball's navigator, and now this Olin guy. That's three organics right there, which is one too many to be in the remaining boxed set slots.
And we know that the Club doesn't make a habit of revealing anything to be included in the convention souvenir sets prior to the con, so these probably aren't going to be souvenir toys either.
What's more is that all three of these guys are completely original designs based on no existing toys, meaning that they are likely planned without having any toys in mind for them, since Fun Pub can't produce all new molds on their own.
So quit worrying or start hating every single non-toy organic character we've gotten for the past 30 years, since it's only fair that they receive the same unjust disdain that these guys are getting.

Is he with the pirates or the knights? Or neither?

I'd be careful with newsing anything FunPub-related today (March 32nd). Remember 2010 Clench? I could so see them pulling something similar.

We are not joking...
We are not fooling...
We promise you Olin will be the most talked about character for Transformers fans VERY soon...
We should have been more clear about the third flesh creature...
We will be revealing our 4th figure from the Box set soon. But for now, we really did not give you enough info about... The Nebulan
For his name is Olin, son of Zarak, and rightful heir to the Hive creation known as… Scorponok!
For anyone who was wondering if the 2014 BotCon Box set would be celebrating the 30th anniversary, rest assured, it will... in a BIG way.
I think we can all now guess what the Energon mold is, and what it is that the Club has never done before.
HEAD ON!

It's not a good one.

Wait I just Figured it out, It's Zone Black Zarak, with the pirate-vibe going on, a hook for a hand and an eye-patch.

Good one funpub

I don't see how Scorponok as is differs from the original's deco, other than a lack of purple. And I don't imagine them retooling the head to a point that this could become a Headmaster. Unless that's the big thing they're teasing us with.

thats my assumption...
and energon scorpys colors differ a lot from G1. two different greens, neither matching G1. blue and yellow not seen on G1. total lack of purple, and overpowering orange.
id welcome an energon scorpy all G1'd up, headmaster or not.
