Will there be ANYTHING other than Animated? I mean, I've warmed up to it over the last couple years, but c'mon. Throw us a Classics-esque bone!

I have $10 that says this is going to be the one that's repainted into Autotroopers.

If Sg Galvatron is true, I will stop at nothing to get it.

BotCon Attendee Free Figure: Animated Fisitron

Derrick J. Wyatt has tweeted an image of this year's BotCon attendee free figure, Animated Fisitron! You may be asking yourself, "Who the heck is Fisitron?" You may know him better as Ironfist from IDW's "Last Stand of the Wreckers". You'll also note that FISITRON is an anagram for IRONFIST. Stay tuned, Seibertron will have more images of this guy soon.

We are also getting reports that the list of potential attendee exclusive sets we previously posted is proving to be very accurate.

  • Sideswipe and Toxitron (1500 sets)
  • Shattered Glass Set: Galvatron and Thundercracker (1800 sets)
  • Autotroopers (1500 sets)

I'm dying to know what molds those other attendee exclusives will use.

Actually, it's not quite an anagram. Fistitron has one too many T's to be an anagram of Ironfist.

Fistitron? Is he related to Fister Roboto? Danger Zone!

EDIT- too slow on the anagram call, stupid browser.

No I'm an idiot and spelled his name wrong. It should be "Fisitron".

Technically, in LSOTW He was AKA "Fisitron" (note the lack of the extra T) which is an anagram of Ironfist... I wonder if the extra T in this toy's name is intentional... Still, though... pretty cool looking, and looks to be using the head sculpt that I assume will be shared by the Autotroopers...
Edit: Ignore my nonsense about the misspelling, as it seems to have been addressed :D

it's not fistitron, it's Fisitron. Fisitron is an anagram for Ironfist.

This is all moot, of course, depending on the awesomeness of Toxitron.

No worries! I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware. I've only had one cup of coffee this morning.

The crown does. Besides, the mold was established 2 years prior in fiction and is based on a custom, like BotCon Razorclaw was.

Now that came out of left field. :P

With that said, all I want is that Thundercracker but then, I may want all of SG...

This is worse then the year they did Dawn of Futures Past. I want these for my collection so bad!!!!

I think the main question about that Thundercracker will be: Will he have red Con logos to fit in with their SG stuff, or purple ones to fit in with their tail-end G1/G2 stuff?
Either way I want one...
