My lack of interest notwithstanding, that's a nice looking box. I much prefer Obsidian in this colouration than that hideous neon green we saw at the start.

The KB Toys price tag is a nice touch!

I like them, but I'm still not thrilled with Skywarp's mold.
Shame I can't afford this.

Looks like Obsidian's final deco has removed the numbering and "pretzels" from the Highbrow mold.
I'm amazed they managed to fit all the figures in that box, given how much space Obsidian takes up...

The comments on Facebook confirm the "sticker" IS actually a sticker. Pretty neat touch. I dig it. Can't wait to be there.

Thanks to the facebook page of the official Transformers Collectors' Club we a look at Strika from this year's BotCon exclusive Machine Wars: Termination box set. The figure is a redeco of Generations Warpath with a brand new head mold. Take a look below.

Much better head design than the first one we saw when she was first teased.
If this set had been available at regular retail, I would pick this up with out a doubt, along with Obsidian, to start building a neo-Beast Wars/Machines shelf, if we get some figures that homage Beast Wars characters in the Thrilling 30 subline.

Great head sculpt. As ugly as it is.
Seriously though......that's a face only a mother could love.
Great choice of molds as well. I'm particularly fond of that sparkly blue plastic in the shoulders and hands.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, since the Thrilling 30 toys are themed around IDW G1 characters. Waspinator's toy made sense since he appeared in "Spotlight: Thundercracker".Mindmaster wrote:if we get some figures that homage Beast Wars characters in the Thrilling 30 subline.

This figure is the only saving grace to an otherwise corny Botcon lineup.
It's still a pass but Hasbro would've been wise to sell this figure at retail.
The rest I think are crap.

True.
But I kinda wanted a bigger Waspinator though...

Good thing the Waspy that appeared in the comic was basically in his BW 10th Anniversary toy body.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I wouldn't get my hopes up, since the Thrilling 30 toys are themed around IDW G1 characters.

Which, on the life of me, I cannot find anywhere at a reasonable price.
Plus, I've got other priorities, so until those are fulfilled, Waspinator, like many past figures I'd like to get, isn't on my list.

Oh, agreed. I like her much more than before.
This set's really grown on me. I'm still disappointed overall, but I hate it slightly less each time.
Damn it, I might have to get her too. I was going to be happy with just Obsidian and the two Seekers...

The official BotCon facebook page has shared production sample images of Machine Wars Skywarp from this year's convention exclusive Machine Wars: Termination box set. As you can see the figure sports a brand new head mold and a nice teleporting translucent effect on the it's wings in jet mode.
