Gives me hope for Waspinator, Dinobot, even Rattrap.
Now if only the souvenir sets included some figure representations thereof...

It's becoming expensive as hell tracking down MOSC BW figures for these guys to sign. Especially Scott. I hope he's doing autographs all three days!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year!
We are still finalizing the registration system move to the new server. This has taken longer than expected due to issues with the old programmer. Their non-cooperation has caused us to have to rebuild the original version of the registration software from back-ups.
We do not want to impact your Christmas funds as we are entirely too close at this point to start registration. The current plan is open registration in mid-January.
We hope this relieves any anxiety you may have concerning BotCon registration and helps with your funds planning.
Thanks for your support and have a great holiday season!
Brian

That looks awful and is a terrible character choice for a set celebrating the anniversary of the American Beast Wars cartoon, which Big Convoy has nothing to do with.Starsaber468 wrote:A bit earlier in all honesty oh yeah also might wanna see this sabrblade its an canceled 2016 botcon figure (as far as a know its canceled or they aren't currently doing it)

Alec Willows has unfortunately cancelled his BotCon 2016 appearance. Well, I should say that it is unfortunate for those attending the show. For Mr. Willows, his cancellation is due to his earning a part in a theatrical play which will still be running by the time BotCon rolls around. So congratulations to him!
In his place will be the other Beast Wars spider. Venus Terzo, the voice of the original Blackarachnia, will be in attendance during the weekend and ready to sign all of those brand-new Takara Tomy Legends Blackarachnia figures!

Here are a few of the hints dropped about BotCon 2016 toys.
- 9 of the figures uses Combiner Wars molds including the custom class figure
- The souvenir centerpiece figure does not use a CW mold
- One of the toys "Uses a not yet released in U.S. headsculpt
- Souvenir figures will be sold individually outside the troop builder set
Pete also answered a few TFCC questions. When asked if there is still plans for more human characters from G.I. Joe figures, Pete answered that they plan to make "Only Human" Rodimus and Arcee. These figures be carded. More to be revealed at a later date. The next issue of the Club Magazine features the packaging reveal of the 2016 Club exclusive Skywarp. The issue will also feature the 2016 membership incentive figure Ramjet and will have Transformers Subscription Service 5.0 reveals.
What do you think about the BotCon figure hints? Do they give you an idea of what the souvenir figures will be? Discuss your ideas in the Energon Pub.
