The Energon Pub

Less than a day after BotCon 2011 registration goes online and we already have one of the exclusives up for auction on eBay! eBay seller paranooid has listed an auction for the leader of the Animated Stunticons Motormaster. The images from the auction are mirrored below.

ZOMG !! It looks incredible !! Its a shame this piece is probably going to sell for the price of the whole Primus Package !! :/ .. Its good i already have the PRIMUS package booked !!

Well, he would make a nice stand in for an evil Prime. Get a regular voyager Animated Prime head and some paint...wait a minute, that would be stupid....

Whilst I can only imagine how difficult it would be to stop, I wish some of our reveals didn't come from Ebay....

Slap a TFA RatBat in his hands and you've got TFA Motorhead!!

This turned out a lot better than I was expecting. I would be all over that if the TFA line were still going and this was thrown in as a regular release.

I'm passing on the set and convention this year, but I must say that is one nice looking figure! These photos of the actual figure look better than in the promotional images.

While I'm a huge Animated fan, I'm not really digging this year's exclusives. Just not really a Stunticon fan I guess. Which is good, because I can never seem to get my hands on them anyway, judging by last-year's ill-fated Sharkticon purchase attempt.

I hope the other exclusives will be skippable as well.

damn this guy is awesome. and dont get me wrong, i so want him in my collection but he looks like if the undertaker and og motermaster had a kid. :u} I just hope in the future that some side company like fans project or something like that makes a kit so that thay can form into menasor. now that would be worth spending my cash on.

Awesome figure!

Looks awesome! Couldnt attend so I got the iacon package

I hate the idea behind this year's con set, yet still this figure looks good to me. There's not any real reason behind that, I just think it looks kind of cool. I think looking good's all a toy needs to do to be appealing.

I got a Primus package, so this guy will be mine. MINE!!!

And it still looks better than if the Wreck-Gar mold had been used.

Another member of the 2011 BotCon Stunticon Race Team has made their way to into the wild. This time we get in hand images of Drag Strip courtesy of an auction on TaoBao. If you planned on ordering a non-attendee Iacon set, hope you acted fast. They along with the loose sets sold out in record time. Her images from the auction are mirrored below.

Update: iGear is also getting in on the action.

Are you kidding with this crap? It's a hideous figure. Poor Drag Strip.

Her?! Woot! Sex changes for everyone! And time for Battlestar Galactica.

That's better than the animated optimus in alot of ways.

Very sexy!

Too cool. Sucks I ain't going to botcon this year

can't wait for all the scalpers that snatched these up to tire of holding inventory and then I can grab a set on the cheap...thats the plan anyway

Looks pretty good, for a fembot Dragstrip. Still think this is the weakest figure in the set. Oh well, Ill have it in hand by June.

Just the fact that they intentionally made "Drag Strip" a female to have some harmless fun makes the figure a must have in my book !!! As silly as Animated are, this cross dresser word-play made me laugh my ass off !!! Now I must also get Spastic and remove the sticker they placed over it.

Man, these things sold out QUICK! I wish they could have lasted a few more days! If anyone wants to sell their additional loose set, PM me, I am in the market!

Did you get the chance to order this years box set from Botcon? We get a few new looks at more of the Botcon 2011 Stunticon Race Team. Igeartoys has updated their facebook page with new in-hand images of Botcon 2011 Wildrider. The images are mirrored below for easy viewing.

Love to go to Botcon, like the figure, but hate the animated line! maybe next year for Botcon.
