Hey guys, was just surfing around and found this on Transformer World 2005, it is a preview of the Botcon 2007 toy line take a look (don't forget to click on the "botcon 2007 figure preview").. http://www.botcon.com

I thought that was part of the Seekers Exclusive pack?

It is. So far we've seen Dirge and Thundercracker. I'm figuring we'll get another either end of the week or Monday of next week, probably one a week till Botcon.

I believe this would be better suited for either the regular TF forum or the con forum. I'll move it to the regular one.

I'm really liking these. I was planning on making my own based on one's by Boggs and Thundercracker of TFW2005. But I caved and Dev's hooking me up with a box set. And I couldn't be happier.

My favorite so far is Dirge. I like the black paint apps on the wings.

TC's alright but I would have prefered the darker G1 toy blue paint than the toon color.

The remolded wings on Thrust kicks butt.

Do you guys think that the Botcon set will be sold as individuals in regular retail outlets later on, or do you think that this is the only time we will see these tf's?

Historically BotCon exclusives are one-shot deals, I think? If you don't get them now there is always eBay scalper prices.

That's why I don't feel bad about paying a lot for them. They never seem to go down in value like other TF's.

I'm actually seeing if I can add a bagged set to my order to sell on Ebay later. Should help me recoup a good bit if not all of my costs for the set. Of course I'm also going to be out extra for the con extras that I've got somebody snagging for me. This is the first set i'm actually excited about from the current club though. Still annoyed that I can't make the actual con.

Where do you go to order this set from botcon and what's the retail for it?

non member boxed - 329

i know that much...

devs is getting me a bagged set - 185.15 shipped i believe.

WOW a price tag like that!!! I guess I'll still have to bash a few more Starscreamers!! lol

Yeah, that's pretty much my plan too... No way I'm shelling out even close to that for a few repaints, I'll just do them myself for a fraction.

but bugbite has nice transfers!!!!

Bug Bite I can live without, I think. And if I do decide to, I'm pretty sure I could replicate 'em by hand anyway.

I haven't seen any pics of Bug Bite yet..What does he look like, an Insecticon?

SHE is a white bumblebee with purple tribals.

she?....

Where do you get the idea that BUGBITE is a "she"? GLYPH was the female version of BUMBLEBEE, not BUGBITE. Neither TFU.info, nor Seibertron.com give any indication of BUGBITE's gender in either TF or GOBOT incarnation.

Tramp: start learning your tf history before going on a rant,every single tf website sais it's a she, (except BWTF)

I'd like to see whaere you're getting that from. The only place I've even seen anything resembling a bio was at Telatraan-1, where he's a bloke. I know Pathfinder and Smallfoot were female, because they were in the Gobots series, but I don't think Bug Bite was ever in it, and I haven't seen anything anywhere to suggest he's female.

theyt are asexual robots guys, niether maqle or female, so bugbite is an it.

Actually,they are in a way sexual,optimus and the gang even have girlfriends,adn yes,they literately referred to them as "girlfriends"
they don't really have sex,i know,but there are "genders"



Also: hey bumblebee,your "parts" are showing. (look at his crotch and you'll see)

Although to be honest, the 'girlfriends' gig was only in the cartoon, so frankly I'd take that with a bucket of salt.

And Keeb, we all know they're asexual, but there's no denying there's some form of sexual bias, even if we can't yet agree why...

Bugbite is an homage to a Gobot character who was a he. Though his one appearance in the cartoon is a none speaking part as far as I know. TFU, Wikipedia, and BWTF, all state its a male characters, as do the few Gobot sites I can find which talk about the original Gobot character. No where have I ever seen it referenced as a she except in this thread.

Mind posting a link to where your getting this information that its a she?
