<a href="http://www.botcon.com/" target="_blank">Botcon.com</a> have updated their website with a new image contain darkening images of Classics Optimus Prime (or could it be Ultra Magnus?) and Cybertron Crosswise/Smokescreen with a third un-identifiable bot beside them.

Also adorning the updated page is a short Quicktime video that promises that "everything you thought you knew will be shattered."
Turn your sound up too, for at the end, a reversed version of the "More than Meets the Eye" riff is played.

Could we be getting some figures based on IDW's Dark Universe? Who knows...

Check out the <a href="http://www.botcon.com/" target="_blank">Botcon.com</a> page for full information.

A date and Location for Botcon 2008 are yet to be confirmed, stay tuned to <a href="/news/index.php">Seibertron.com</a> for all the latest news as it happens.

"Everything you thought you knew will be shattered."?
It's worse than "He is comming, are you ready?"

The unidentified bot is the Hotshot/Excellion mold. I had mine nearby and can confirm that that is what it is.

I wonder if the Autobots will have goatees. If not, we may not know who the evil versions are. :P

Well I don't have a personal pic but this should work.
Excellion
If you look at the right leg on the shadowed fig and this one you'll notice they both have the chevron looking things on the shin and the backpack section match,though the shadowed one has the wings deployed.

And, the Autobot Symbol on the shoulder is located exact, with the screw in the same area.
Man we're good.

So we've got a truck and two cars that will presumably be 'cons. I'm sticking with the Stunticon idea for the momment.
