Botcon Animated Wildrider Teasers

Works for me. I was hoping that was the mold being used for him.

Wow really?! I never suspected they would use Lockdown!!!



Seriously though, can't wait for the pictures! Thanks for the heads up!

worn out on the Lockdown mold. Glad it will make some happy though.
Fingers uber crossed for Wreck-Gar to be Motormaster.
Blurr, Swindle, Starscream hopefully will be used in the side sets.

I WANT TO SIGN UP NOW!!! i want them soooooo bad!!!!!!! my animated decepticons are suffering!

This is exactly what I thought!!! Lockdown as Dragstrip and her as Wildrider. This kind of lets me down a bit, but I want to see the others first. If they use Lockdown as Wildrider, then I'm passing- and I'll bet that's what's going to happen....

I jinxed myself . I still want to see what the others will look like.......

Who would of guessed they'd use the Lockdown mold! Haha, I think everybody saw that coming XD

Six Stunticons? Derrick J. Wyatt just updated his Twitter feed with another Botcon Stunticon tidbit.

@BotCon Technically there are SIX members in Motormaster's Stunt Convoy. I suppose if they are all truly Stunticons or not is debatable.

Earlier today we learned from the Botcon Twitter account that this week's reveal would be Wildrider, using the Animated Lockdown mold with a newly molded head! Who could this mysterious pseudo-Stunticon be, debate away in the Energon Pub!

Maybe...MENASOR?!

In Key to Vector Sigma, Op implied that Superion counted towards a total of six Aerialbots, making it logical that if there is a way to combine these guys, this could be a hint.

If not, then either G2 Breakdown or a Battlecharger. I dunno.

why do i have the feeling that they are going to name the 6th guy menasor

Awesome! Glad I'm going!

im all for wreck gar and all but, it new heads where ####mold and ####2 mold, meaning they might reuse a mold like if optimus is motormaster he will be menasor with a different head and colors. O r at least I hope so...

I’m sensing a combiner kibble transformer, well it was a thought of my TF story line much like headmaster’s targetmasters and powermasters I called them diacons a single robot that can turn in to the parts that keep the combiners together, but the combiners cannot combine without the diacon so they need the diacons to combine.

IF, and that's a very big IF, they actually can get them to combine, then I might be interested in the set.

But otherwise ... meh.

Or Spastic.

This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if the sixth bot could maybe be Bugbite.

Good call.



Were it up to me, I would have saved the Arcee mold for the 6th Stunticon, and painted her as Crasher/Fracture.

My theory is that the clone car, who served as the chest piece for Menasor, may very well be getting his own persona and transformation.

And boom goes the dynamite! That is exactly what I was thinking!

Have a question for those who have TFA Voyager class Prime...How tough would it be, or how plausible, to attach a 2-way plastic clip to his arms and legs for allowing faux limbs to attach. I'm thinking that he's what will be used for Menasors body and that they've found a simple way to make the other units just slip on rather than spend money re-tooling the whole set. A sixth member, likely something small, may attach to the waist or chest to help provide camouflage but I wouldn't expect anything big for a 6th member and I don't think they are counting the Gestalt mode.
I could be so far out in left-field it's not even funny. I know exactly squat about the TFA figures but I do have to admit that the thought of a TFA Menasor does raise my interest quite a bit so I thought I would add my bit to the brainstorming process.

OFFENSIVE! So if there is a sixth boxset member, you can definitely rule out anything bigger than a voyager for Motormaster. I'm thinking it's staying a 5 figure box though.

Sorry, none of you have guessed who it is. Remember, Botcon has a new story for the Animated universe, Motor Roller and Spastic were good guesses though.

####2 will be PAINFULLY obvious when it's shown.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand no more outta me!

can i be part of the News Crew? puhleeeeeeeeez. even just for 24 hours. will pay money.

Just my personal theory but i remember a while back seeing that hasbro was planning a bumblebee redeco as fugitive waspinator. Correct if im wrong but that kinda fell to the wayside so my guess would be


Fugitive Waspinator with new head mold obviously. Which is more than we would have got via the animated line. And I know "he's not a stunticon" blah blah blah. They dont have a bee mold and it could easily be a stunticon.

Yeah, I'd stop holding my breath about that.

Hmm. I wonder who will be Motormaster's Roller?

maybe blurs mode will be put to use after all

I am hoping, honestly for Motormaster to be the Wreck-gar Mold, looked at it for 30 minutes today and the details are just all there.

as for the mystery 6th...

it depends on the scale but looking at what we have mold wise that's not used and an additional remolded head

my I wish...
Menasor using Ultra Magnus the limbs could have character decos to simulate the gestalt while hidden and avoiding color clash vehicle mode
but... too big to really be in the set

Wasp using BB, simple head resculpt, cannon tie in character
but... kinda weaksauce for uber secret 6th

Cy-Kill using Oilslick, outside the box, fanboish
but... really Go-Bots

Nightracer using Blurr, yeah... going there the second botcon exclusive get's an update
but... to many ties to the old guard

also my opinion on Drag Strip...

I like it.

don't think or look at it too long though

Pink hair, tanktop, daisy dukes wearin... DRAG STRIP all I see is Poison from StreetFighter/FinalFight in all her/his glory

As cool as it would be for them to combine, I never really thought that was a possibility.... Aside from an eventual custom of course.
After hearing that there would be a 6th Stunticon. My first thought was we'll get the standard Stunticons and then I really thought we would get a Lockdown repaint (due to his size in Robot mode) and they would call him Menasaur.
Now that we know we're getting Lockdown as Wildrider I am guessing that the same thing will happen but I can see Menasaur being a repaint of Ultra Magnus.

I hate both Lockdown molds. Why must he have a huge neck ??? I hope they remove the neck and just put a normal size in between his shoulders.

And for the mystery Stunticon, I want the Blurr mold as SPASTIC !!!!!

Check the previous pages, Spastic and Motormaster's Roller are not it. Besides, the chance of Hasbro using "Spastic" just to do us a favor is next to nothing. Maybe Over-Run, the replacement name. And a Garbage Truck for Motormaster is just sacrilege.

Just a thought, the 6xth Sunticon may be the Attendee Exclusive. Breakdown number 5, in G2 colors?

Sigh, I was really wishing it was going to be Soundwave remold, but at least it was not the Arcee mold because I think that would cause quite a few offensive calls to whoever sponsors these things, I mean come on a female TF named Wildrider

Six Stunticons?! This makes no sense. Why would they do six of them rather than the traditional five? Apparently, the same reason why they did three Constructicons rather than the usual six.

Maybe they're going to include a powercore combiner and say it's Menasor. So 5 stunticons and the 6this the combined stunticon forn. Im not for this if this is the case.. =(

remember animated only

HERE ME OUT: A sixth Stunticon could be: Menasor. I know, but....what if they use Voyager prime for MotorMaster and Ultra Magnus with different colored limbs to be Menasor????? It could work! If not, its probally the little car thing that forms the chest of the G1 combined mode.

WildRider's up! Looks pretty menacing!

That looks a LOT like Lockdown. I know...same mold and all, but I expected a radically different head.

We know Motormaster is next, betcha it's Voyager Prime.

Also, betcha we get a Toxitron redeco out of that.

Have you been waiting patiently to find out what Animated Wild Rider would look like since BotCon teased the Lockdown mold?

Well, the wait is over. In a series of tweets and Facebook posts, the Club has revealed Wild Rider, including a closeup of the all new head:

Feeling luke warm again...

If it was black like its suppose to be then it would be good but its not so its crap. My prediction on the mold was right at least. This is defiantly a botcon set i dont care for. So far they've used all good molds but compared to the original figures them selves these suck.

I have to say, I don't like this at all.

Wildrider's alt mode is quite appropriate, but this head sculpt just does not do the job.

For the first thing, it looks like Lockdown or at least it isn't any different than Lockdown. For another thing, shouldn't that pinkish-purple be out and out red?

I betcha there's something cute in the comic where Wildrider takes the engine/EMP off of Ironfist or the Autotroopers or something...

Megatron Wolf wrote:If it was black like its suppose to be then it would be good but its not so its crap.

I wouldn't say it is crap with no black. But, yes, a darker shade would have looked better.

They better issue sunglasses with this set because some of these color combinations are almost offensively loud. IF there is actually a combined mode for this set, I fear that it will look like a technicolor train-wreck.

Also, I find it rather amusing that after everyone guessed at Wreck-Gar for Motormaster on the earlier pages, I go and pose a qauestion about the set involving Voyager Prime 3 pages back and now folks are guessing Voyager Prime. The worst part of it is that NOBODY bothered to answer my question. Meh, doesn't matter anyways. I won't be going to BotCon and after seeing this most recent reveal, I don't hold much hope for this set turning out well anyways.

This set is meh to me. When I saw the first two I was somewhat excited, but after "Dragqueenstrip" or whatever its suppose to be and now this, this is officially a pass for me. I'm still iffy on whether I even want to go to the Con this year, but this set sure isn't helping win me over.

I'm telling you with 100% certainty that these toys will not combine.

I like the Voyager Prime being Motormaster (still hoping for it to be Wreckgar...) and Menasor being Ultra Magnus painted limbs idea

Holy hell that looks brilliant! XD If there'd been this in Animated I might have liked the show (looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot of that)! Makes me wish I could get the Animated Stunticons set without the insanely stupid price tag.

Hmmmm... Not all that wonderful. At first glance, I actually thought it was the original Lockdown head. Meh.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Some people on other boards are going on about how brilliantly different they are and I just don't see it.
