Another BotCon Figure Surfaces - Repaint of Cybertron Beast Megatron

Posted by Mach Jun 10, 2010 at 11:11am CDT 42,393 views
Seibertron member El Duque has informed us that Chinese toy merchant - iGear has listed an auction for an unknown BotCon 2010 figure.

The figure is a blue dinosaur, a repaint from a Deluxe class Cybertron Beast Wars Megatron figure. No identity has been given to this figure, but it can be assumed that this figure is paying homage to G2 Grimlock.

Stay tuned to Seibertron, Ultimate Resource of Transformers!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

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.

I must say the colors surprise me, especially the blue.


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.

Close enough, though the colors are reversed.

But isn't he pink?

I dunno, not really feeling this one. I kind of hate that mold.

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:

It's not Grimlock.

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.
