If you're curious about the possible name: Scorch. The white Ravage could be SG Ravage, but that would make the pairing a bit odd...

Scorch-y

SG Ravage as the throwback figure? Ok. Kind of meh, but ok.

Looking good.

Even though Ravage is all but certain to be SG, the color scheme looks a lot like Glit from the Kiss Players G1 cassette issue.

Cute but meh. I already have a Glit, so this is superfluous.

It's SG Ravage all right, has Kiss Player's Glit's colors (Glit was repurposed as SG Ravage, guys!) and a reddish Decepticon symbol. That means we're one figure short of the Souvenir and Attendee line-up. Here are my guesses:

Attendee Figure: Slicer (or SG Wheeljack, whatever you want)
Troop Builders: Sharkticons
Souvenir Set 1: "Double Punch" with "Scorch" or Rapido
Souvenir Set 2: "Yoyager" with "Scorch" or Rapido

Who could the last large figure be...

I love the Glit colors. So this new version looks good to me. That said I have Glit, so ...

Hm. It's odd how the G2 set features so few actual G2 symbols. You'd think they'd just plaster those things on all the figures. Well, reprolabels can fix that issue.

Heh. Other than the similar transformation and the colour scheme, that figure is only a weak homage to Scorch, but still, I say this is the first figure this Botcon that I really like.

It's an odd combo, but I like it. Would have preferred SG Hound though.

I like this, a lot! Maybe I can get him after the con for not very much...

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Mon Jun 07, 2010 11:11 am

...Shattered Glass Hound and Ravage? Actually, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Other than the stil red Autobot symbol on Hound, wasn't Ravage white in the SG comics, if he appeared in them? Think about THAT! :lol:

Hound is meh, but I WANT THAT RAVAGE!

Oh my god yes!

Perhaps we'll be seeing an SG Galvatron afterall?

Yeup, that last choice is really outta the blue. I would have NEVER guessed it.

I really dig this, way too much.

Look close guys, that's definitely a Shattered Glass Autobot symbol on Hound.

As cool as it is to see some more SG stuff, this "G2" BotCon has not been very G2 at all, which is incredibly disappointing, especially when it had so much potential that FunPub has chosen to ignore.

Still looks reddish to me. It's probably the lighting. Besides, the colors of SG Hound have already been set: Shattered Glass Hound on TFWiki. He's basically a lovechild of Universe Hound and RiD Rollbar.

Really odd. I'm confused because if it's G2, shouldn't he have the G2 Autobot Symbol?

You're forgetting Scorch is a Turbomaster, which never had the G2 symbols.
