As time goes on, more and more of the old Botcon and Club toys feel more and more obsolete. We were talking on the Twincast recently and had a thought that we should make bingo cards for folks to have fun while anticipating upcoming toy announcements and reflecting on fun stuff released in the past.
I've gone through and made some, with the items present reflecting those Botcon and TFCC toys that, as of this writing, have not had an updated remake or direct homage released as a toy since approximately the start of the Titans Return toy line. It's done roughly by character, so if there were multiple versions of something over the years (like G2 Breakdown) it's still only on there once. Arbitrary criteria? Absolutely, but it can't be stressed enough that this is just for fun!
To play, click the following link to generate a card: https://bingobaker.com/#63fb70b254c8f16e
Once you've done that and have it generated, post a reply here with the link to your unique card, and be sure to let the thread know when you've got a bingo! I'll put a list of the call items in this main post as time goes on - if leaks and rumors are to be believed, some folks are going to get to check off some squares really quickly.
If I've made a mistake and included something that did have an update in Titans Return or a later line, then no big deal, enjoy the extra free space! If you want to debate the methodology, save it. There are no prizes and we're just having fun here.
Good luck, have fun and let's see how long it takes for someone to hit bingo!
List of "Called" Items - Last Updated 6/18/2025
I think I'd have to pay the bingo site to make these non-random on that platform so this is the super-mega-serious official list
- Toxitron
- Transmutate (correction for a mistake as it should not have been on the list. If your card has them, enjoy the extra free space!)
- Dion
- Antagony
- Autotrooper
- Shadow Striker
- Nova Prime
- Nacelle
- SG Sideswipe and Whisper
- SG Rodimus
- Cannonball
- Ferak
- Bludgeon
- Windsweeper
- Animated Motormaster
- Burn Out
- Sandstorm (Beast Wars)
- Lift-Ticket
- Skywasp (or whatever I labeled the black/purple Waruder as on the cards)
- Needlenose
- Devcon
- Deathsaurus (Iffy on this one but why not, let's count it)
- Leozack
- Medix
- Slipstream
- Ruckus
- Fisitron / Ironfist
- SG Grimlock
- Sideburn
- Buzzsaw
Special Note 1 - Banzai-Tron: some folks are counting this because of the Super7 Ultimates figure. You can do what you want, but Banzai-Tron is not going on the "official" list unless an updated transforming figure by Hasbro is announced.
Special Note 2 - Clench: No one asked, but I'm not adding something for a Swapticon. This applies to anything else they do in this gimmick subline.
Special Note 3 - Apelinq: C'mon now. RotB Apelinq doesn't count. If there was a repaint of it that is an obvious homage to the Botcon/TFCC one? Sure. The plain RotB one? It's a nameslap and y'all know it
