I could go for a Turbomaster box-set as a concept. Only other one I had was Hurricane, but Flash and Scorch both looked cool, and Rotorstorm is currently getting some recognition in the Wreckers comic.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Then tell which ones those are, keeping the following in mind:

1) Not been used before by either the club, or the convention
2) RiD or later.
3) Still intact.
4) No Movie figures (licensing by Paramount)

Good luck :P

Well obviously its Rapido because even from the top view you can see what appears to be a number "19" painted on the doors. If this exclusive costs extra at Botcon, I might pass it up. Unless its $ 25 bucks or less. If it must be G2 why cant they make at least 1 G2 seeker ???

Because:
a) For BotCon they can only use copyrights and names that Hasbro allows them to.
b) They already made a load of BotCon exclusive Seekers 2 years ago.
c) The Classics Seeker mold is showing its age (or rather, heavy usage)
d) G2 Starscream doesn't look significantly different from his more recent Universe redeco.
e) All the figures revealed so far (apart from Streetwise) are either specifically from G2 or have a strong link to G2 (ie. Breakdown is a G1 figure but his G2 figure is very famous and strongly linked to BotCon).

They actually seem to be doing a good mix of g1 crossover characters, g2 original characters and non-US g2 characters. I still wouldn't rule out a purple Ramjet or a black Sideswipe.
