More Botcon Collectors Add-On Molds Rumors (SPOILER ALERT!)!?!
More Botcon Collectors Add-On Molds Rumors (SPOILER ALERT!)!?!
Posted by Tigertrack Fri Mar 07, 2008 12:39 pm
Please ignore this if you do not want to possibly be spoiled...continue on at your own risk.
'Darthconvoy', a source that posts on another site --A source who also just happens to have had CORRECTLY predicted all the molds, and color styles for the 5 piece boxed set for Botcon 2008-- reports that the two molds that will be in the other add-on set are Armada Blurr with a remolded head, and Armada Wheeljack in green and grey deco.
Are these the actual toys? What characters could they be? Check out the galleries of these toys in their original below:
Armada Wheeljack Gallery
Armada Blurr Gallery
And in case you forgot, the other rumored add-on set is none other than CLASSICs Hot Rod with black paint job, and 'evil' mirrorverse goatee, and Energon Megatron, in heroic shades of blue, black and grey, possibly including a kinder, more compassionate remolded head.
Of course, it's a rumor until we see or hear more!

Well, it will almost interesting to see what they look like, but how can you do better than last years set?
After last year, this year was bound to be a little more ho-hum.
But I would have to say it's at least on par with other sets past.

Bot those molds have good detailing on them and with the extra paint aps BotCon stuff gets, they'll look awesome.

I have to agree; this year's offerings, in my humble opinion, have been rather lackluster. Again, it could just be "mold fatigue" on my part.

Unfortunately yes. It is a mould that deserves much more respect. It should have been repainted and mass produced in place of others that were not as worthy IMHO!
Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Unfortunately yes.
Kind of...
See, the difference between the American and Japanese releases is kind of significant.
American release has large yellow stripes and markings on the figure. The base plastic color is a deep charcoal greay.
The Japanese release has smaller blue stripes and markings along with jet black base plastic.
They don't seem too different, but in person, the differences are striking.

I guess I should open my Micron Legend Rampage with Energon Saber set then, cause they looked very similar to me.

Shame this toy will be in a color scheme and at a price range I probably won't bother with. :[
As for the differences between the Micron Legend and Armada versions of Wheeljack, I did take a shoddy picture a few months ago of both figures for those that are curious... Wish the URLs and IMG tags would work in news comments though. XD;

You can buy them after you pick-up your package at 6PM on Thursday. If you're in any of the classes or tours, you get to pick up your registration early and can just go staight to the Club Store line to buy the add-ons at 6PM. There is a limited number of them, but I don't think they are so limited that they'll sell out the first night. And I believe that only Primus package holders can buy them.

Here's my estimation as to how the exclusive set will look this year.
Autobots:
1 Optimus Prime
2 Grimlock
3 Jazz
4 Ricochet
5 Goldbug
6 Rodimus
7 Blurr Remold (Most likely Tracks)
Decepticons:
1 Megatron
2 Starscream
3 Razorclaw Minicon
4 Armada Wheeljack Repaint
5 Minicon Windsheer Repaint
6 Unknown Minicon from Rodimus/Meg's 2 Pack (Divebomb or Laserbeak)
7 Unknown Minicon Repaint (Probably Ravage)

Armada Wheeljack I guess could be a Good Sideswipe. (maybe he decided to switch sides for some reason)
Good choices for molds, but I would have loved a Energon Downshift as a mad scientist version of G1 Wheeljack.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Blurr is back! Blurr is back! Blurr is back! Blurr is back! Blurr is back! Blurr is back! Blurr is back!
Anyways, um yeah. This technically is Armada Wheeljack's first official repaint, but he was actually supposed to be repainted in the Universe lineup under the name of Drench. It was one of the best repaints I've seen in my lifetime, but unfortunately, life throws a fastball and the idea got scratched. You can find the pics of the unreleased figure here:

Armada Wheeljack is the best Armada Deluxe IMO, and the fact that there's another Blurr repaint just makes me incredibly happy. Who is Tracks? And what colour is he? Isn't he that Metrosexual one?
