The numbers don't match up to anything Cryotek-related. They seem to be the release date of DOTM and then something related to 1984.shajaki wrote:Forgive my noob-like speculation, but couldn't the "Boss" be Cryotech using the Springer/Sandstorm mold?
Then it must be a giant bust of Animated Shockwave or something since that isn't a zoomed in close up of the mystery figure. Check out how big it is in comparison to the others:Emerje wrote:Isn't the mystery one at the end Animated Shockwave in Longarm mode with the "ears" painted black around his chin? Maybe they're making an Astro Magnum figure? Or maybe that one really is Oilmaster since he has two bot and alt modes.
(The Longarm image is flipped so the screw holes wouldn't be on this side of his head. Also pretty sure the top of the fuzzy cropped image is from the background, not part of the head.)

I'm talking about the relative size of Animated Shockwave's head, horns down or otherwise.Emerje wrote:Not sure what you mean.

Who do you want to bet the Silas sculpted into the Cylas Breakdown mold's chest is going to be?

McDreamy is a character on the TV show Grey's Anatomy. The character in this shot is Dylan Gould from DoTM.Sabrblade wrote:Sabrblade wrote:McDreamy?
Sabrblade wrote:It can't be Animated Shockwave's head because his head is not that big. For his head to be as big the thing seen in the fuzzy pic, it would have to be as big as something like the head of Cybertron Surpreme Starscream or Cybertron Primus

As far-fetched as that idea might be, recall last year's crazy awesome Headmaster Scorponok figure, and how a while back the Club said/suggested/hinted that they're trying to make something even better than the level of greatness that Scorponok was. So, who knows what the Club will do this year.

Swerve and a Micromaster partner, making him a real Double Pretender
That's too much remolding for a Fun Pub toy. Only one piece can be remolded.Tranzilla wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Another possibility as to what that black thing behind the Springer mold's sword could be is some kind of representation of Oilmaster's gorilla Pretender Shell, possibly something large enough to accommodate the Legends Swerve mold if it were to be the real Oilmaster.

I'm hoping it's Blast Punch Primal as Oilmaster. All they need is a Spartan-ish robot head, slight remolding of the shoulder pads, and a remolding of the upper part of the gorilla head to look like the helmet.

Pete Sinclair of Fun Publications joined Transformers For Your Listening Pleasure this evening to discuss the history of Botcon, convention etiquette, and what to expect from Botcon 2015. Of course, there's also a reveal of a toy for the upcoming Botcon 2015 set of convention exclusives. Read on for the details.
Pete began his portion of the interview by discussing the Fun Publication's desire to have a specific theme for the set following positive fan reaction to the Stunticon set, rather than individual toys who just happen to share a box. Cybertron's Most Wanted began with the concept of some traditionally evil or untrustworthy characters banding together to save Cybertron, Ocean's Eleven style. The dual theme is that these toys are indeed some of the most wanted by fans. Pete promised the toys will look great together as a team on fan shelves.
In discussing the recently revealed Packrat, Pete went on to mention that Fun Publications has looked into several proposals for a Fractyl release, but the timing and pitch has never been quite right.
He went on to discuss the details of how they were able to finally sign Frank Welker up for a Botcon appearance. Apparently, these efforts go as far back as 1997, which would have featured both Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, were it not for some schedule conflicts that eventually prevented both from attending. He went on to details all of the exclusive items that fans will be given as part of the VIP package for the experience with Frank and how Fun Publications normally pays celebrity appearance fees so that fans receive photo opportunities and autographs at no additional charge beyond their Primus package, but that the contract with Frank had to be scheduled differently. This, presumably, would indicate that Frank's fee runs significantly higher than average.
It was also announced that Sue Blu will be attending. Get your Generations Arcee autographed! Pete also confirmed that while Primus package numbers will stay the same this year, the numbers for the souvenir items will be decreased. Similarly, there will be no extras for the first two figures of TFSS 3.0 for sale on the Club site.
Revealed were an unreleased Waspinator Repaint from the RotF Dirge mold (no plans for the future, though Pete did mention this one was designed and painted by the Allspark's own Jesse Wittenrich) and a repaint of the Chopshop Targetmaster for an as-yet unrevealed at-convention figure. Pete mentioned that his partner won't be the same as the original Legends figure that he came with.

Emerje wrote:Someone's going retro, those are Chopshops colors as Beet-Gugal in the original Beetras series he was sourced from.
I wonder if that's any indication of who he's coming with?

He also shows off an unreleased Prototype of Waspinator using Revenge of the Fallens Dirge
