Seibertron member El Duque has informed us that Chinese toy merchant - iGear has listed an auction for an unknown BotCon 2010 figure.

This figure is a blue Dinosaur, possibly a repaint from a Deluxe class Beast Megatron figure. No identity has been given to this figure, it is assume that this figure is paying homage to G2 Grimlock.

"Possibly" a repaint of possibly a repaint from a Deluxe class Beast Megatron figure? It most certainly is that. To be exact it's the deluxe Beast Wars 10th Anniversary figure, which was repainted for Cybertron.

I must say the colors surprise me, especially the blue. Can't be Grimlock, he's already represented in the overal timeline in his Classics form. Not that I don't appreciate the possible homage there.

I kind of like it. I had the Blue Grimlock and for whatever reason I liked having a blue dinosaur. Wish i could get this guy but I'm not paying a fortune for him.

Yeah, not what I expected. But I'll take it. It matches up with the set though. Just not the original namesake of the character.

*nevermind* rather make em guess.

Speakin of Cryoteck, I'd sure love it if the club gave us him using that Energon Shockblast mold. That would definitely go well as a club toy. Works better then Hasbro's Sixshot IMO.

Thanks for the news cred, but I just lifted it from TFW05. S250 from their boards deserved the real credit for the find. :D

Agreed. With a little Chro done out of Energon Divebomb.

Again, another mold that, IMO, needs to be used. I love my regular Divebomb and the ShadowHawk one too. Great alt modes and incredibly articulated bot mode. I need moar meow!!

It's gotta be G2 Grimlock. It's the only answer that makes sense.

Here's what comes up when you search for "blue beasts" at TFU.com:

http://www.tfu.info/ID/bluebeasts.htm

The only other figures that even come close to resembling this blue T-Rex mold are:
Deathsaurus (a dragon),
Landsaur (from Magmatron),
the McDonald's Dinobot from '88,
Cryotek (a dragon), and
Hasbro Go-Bots Beast Bot

Considering the THEME of BotBon '10 is G2, isn't G2 Grimlock (a blue T-Rex) the obvious choice?

if it's G2 Grimlock, I'm psyched. If it's not, I'll pretend it is.

Or maybe it's a lost child? I'm curious why there are only two Sparkabots and Firecons in G2. I won't accept anything technorganic as Grimlock.

It's a sparkbot/con.

:KREMZEEK:

Irrelevant to this topic, but in IDW's continuity Grimlock gains his T-rex alt mode by technoorganic means. He didn't become a purely robotic dino until Shockwave blasted off all his organic flesh.

I sat through the whole "Beast Wars" series a few months ago and i just couldnt really get into it. Not that it was bad, it was just weird. I bought the classics universe Dinobot cause I liked his additude on the series. But other than him, I stay away from Beast Wars stuff. If this isnt a freebee im gonna pass it up at Botcon.
