botcon 07 exclusives

There is more to Transformers than movies, cartoons, comics and toys. Discuss anything else Transformers here.

I doubt it'll have a new head mold. And unless the set was released in the us under Hasbro, it's a new character to the USA. I for one had never heard of the character till they anounced the botcon set. I also didn't know about the recolor set till everyone started pointing it out on the diffrent forums.

As Lord Loki said, Bugbite is a new Character in the USA. the original repaint was a Japanese exclusive, as wer all the other GoBots repaints of the G1 minibots.

What would be really interesting is if one of the "loose" bagged one would be Glyph.

Doing both wouldn't necessarily work because each was a repaint of Bumblebee and Cliffjumper respectively, and, since Classics Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are the same exact molds, Glyph and Tap-out would be too unless the retooled the head foir Glyph to make it more feminine.

Don't see why they wouldn't work if they're doing three more Seeker redecos. Still, I had considered that, hence the 'and/or'. I s'pose if it were an either/or thing, Glyph would probably be the more popular...

The reason why doing both probably wouldn't work is because one is male and the other is female.

Seen that. Pete over at the club has stated that not all the characters on that cover will be at Botcon.


Magnus is already out there, as is the minicon swoop in the background. Thats Snarl in Actionmaster form so I don't see him either.

Speculation at the club has us probably getting that Huffer and then one of the other two with the third probably as club exclusive end of the year or next year. Of course its still all guessing right now. We haven't gotten any difinitive answers and probably won't till Botcon.

I can tell you for sure, as Alex is a friend of mine, that one out of those remaining 2 characters are made up. Huffer and one of the others will be made.

I'm gonna say Springer from the CD Hotshot mold has a better chance of being made, but who knows, they might jump out with the Elita-1 and surprise us all.

Yeah, Elita-1's a pretty basic Thunderblast mod, Springer appears to be a repainted CD HotShot with a new head. What's the flying one at the back - is that supposed to be Swoop? I'm not sure who the character is, or what mould it's based on offhand...

Ah, so it is a white Bumblebee. Nice tribals, though.

In the off chance that anyone here will have an extra set (loose or boxed) that they are looking into selling, I'd be interested in picking it up at a reasonable price.

PM me and we can work something out.

Thanks!
