#Botcon 2016 New Video: David Kaye Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech "20 Years Predacons"

The final fully new gallery, before Seibertron starts bringing out new toy galleries, is all about the biggest part of a BotCon experience: the people who attend. By clicking on any of the images below, you can take a look at a gallery of what happens at BotCon, who shows up, how time is killed, how much hard work and hard partying goes on behind the scenes, and what you might have missed from the other side of a screen. Browse through!

Featuring Venus Terzo, Seibertron, Stan Bush, embarrassing/shameless megatronus, joevill, Gregg Berger, Starscream, carytheone, Cobotron, Conterpunch, ScottyP, razorclaw0000, Va'al, xRotorstormx, Unicron, and many more.


Prints of BotCons Past


Two guys, one Kup


An Actual Berger!


A Twincast Shot


Some Other Suckers


Dealin'


Superior Cosplay


The Seveneers


Bush & Seibertron

Hey, I know some of those folks. All shady as hell.

Where do I get that Kup cup? Some darn cat recently broke my monkey mug and I've been inconsolable but that thing would probably lift me out of my funk!

This year's lithographs were SO nice looking, but I forwent picking up any of them since I had other priority purchases to make and don't have the wall space for them anyway.

But still, these are simply gorgeous. And fantastically commemorate the past Fun Pub fiction of Animated, Beast Wars: Uprising, Classics/Shattered Glass, and TransTech.

Alright, can someone tell me who all these guys are? I know 2 but I want to know the rest

I'll give you a clue.
I have a beard.

Here's Clue #2:

I'm not in any of these pics.

Counterpunch establishes his rule over ScottyP. xRotorstormx cannot afford knees on her trousers because of toys. Razorclaw000 is just really happy to be there. Starscream's forehead is protected from sunlight. Megatronus looks happy, but is planning how to kill us all. You probably know the other two.

No duh Sherlock.

well....your the one that stated ALL

& not all men in that photo have beards!

so your statement wasn't 100% accurate!

I was implying that Va'al was in fact female.

At least he got the joke.

well.....it was aimed at him!(your joke) so i would've thought so

Hey, my backside made it to the background of Ryan's Stan Bush pic. I was 45 degrees counter-positioned to Stan. Conversed with him Sunday; did my best to contain my blithering, and procured an autographed CD. Nice guy.

No, you're making this very hard! Even Va'als nice little caption naming everyone didn't work that well since Rotorstorm is the only one I really got

Ok Sir, smirk all you want! I'll just hope Seibs visits this thread and tells meeeeeeee

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Ok Sir, smirk all you want! I'll just hope Seibs visits this thread and tells meeeeeeee

But you've got everything you need; process of elimination really. Va'al's clues are really good and you should be able to piece them together.

Besides its fun to watch you sweat

Two guys, one Kup

Alright, so this gives me no ideas whatsoever. I know the one on the left is Seibs, but I don't know the right.


An Actual Berger!

Gregg Berger?


A Twincast Shot

Ok, So Va'al in front, Siebs and ScottyP in the middle row, back row left to right: Razorclaw, Megatronus, Starscream, Counterpunch, Rotorstorm


Some Other Suckers

So, Seibs, Cary, Va'al, ??, Cobo.

Did I do it????

Yup. And you can re-read the story write-up for more clues on Megatronus. The selfieless barstand.

Jon 3.0 was called but he had left early, should have taken this about an hour earlier so we could have included all the podcast staff and regular podcast guests that were there!

The jig is up!

Any of you guys seen a review up/or know somebody that is planning on making one for the Reflector 3-pack yet? And if so could you please be so kind to let me know?

Been checking u-tube and whatnot myself, couldn't find anything so far.

Managed to buy the set online and of course I looked up some images online first before I bought it, watching an actual review is part of the HYPE that comes with waiting for my package to arrive!

ty for reading

I know it's only been a few days since Botcon ended, but the lack of reviews on the toys is a little strange.

Normally with new toys like these, people are rushing to be the first person to post a review.

Indeed, in the years before this one there were reviews made and posted up from hotel rooms during the event. I did find one featuring Terrorsaur and Tarantulas, so that's a plus at least.

A mighty fine group of good looking people and sexy beards there.

Random but related question:

What brand or what type of clear nail polish do people use to protect chromed parts? I haven't opened TM3 Megatron yet, but touching up, polishing, and sealing the chrome is the first thing I want to do when I remove him from his bag.

I thought floor polish would be better for that, almost creating a wax like layer on a car. Couldn't it be polished as well in the long run with a microfiber cloth?

For me sealing his the most important part - I don't want any chips or flakes on such an expensive/sought after/objectively awesome piece.

Normally I just polish with a standard eyeglasses microfiber cloth. Don't need a special material for that.

Would a hobby clear work better? Tamiya is a brand often tossed about. I feel like clear nail polish would be too thick. Just me though, I have no experience protecting the chrome.

A couple people have mentioned acrylic floor polish. Tamiya is also a name thrown out there a bunch - I've used their product before, but never clear coat. We shall see...

Thanks Crams!

Beware all those who room with Seibertron! For he may take pictures while you sleep!




But opportunities for revenge will avail themselves...



Nothing a little Photoshop can't fix.

Howdy fellow Seibertronians, have you have enough of BotCon 2016 yet? YouTuber peaugh has shared a video review of one of this year's souvenir figure sets; Reflector. Peaugh compares Reflector to his mold mate Shockwave and even shows how to form the hotly debated "camera" mode.



Now that you've watched the video; what do you think of the set? How's the head sculpt? What do you think of the camera mode? If you missed this figure set, are you going to pay aftermarket prices to get one? Sound off in the discussion below.

Remember to keep your browsers pointed to Seibertron.com for the latest in Transformer news, the largest Transformers galleries found on the web and the liveliest Transformers discussion this side of a space bridge.

So, how much did the Reflector trio actually cost at BotCon?

Like $60. Scalpers are having a field day with them; cheapest I've seen is just under $100.
