The "Automated Security Sentries zero-9" prototype testshot that provided our first peek at the figure was recently sold on Ebay. The figure is based off the Beast Machines Battle Unicorn figure.
The previously seen "Raging Red" Dairycon figure:
While another variant has appeared, the "Bitter Black" Cybcon figure:
Notice the lack of Red mane/leg detail, as well as the changes in the plastic (most noticeable in the figure's legs).
The character bio for Ass-09 can be found by following this link. Keep an eye out for information regarding the other Dairycon exclusives (COMING SOON!!!!)
Finally, pre-registration for Dairycon 2009 is closing March 1st! While the con is free to attend, you MUST pre-register. No walk-ins. So pre-register soon if you plan to come!

Here's "Assinine"'s tech spec from http://www.geocities.com/fredsworkshop/assinine.html:
Allegiance: Dairycon
Name: Assinine (Ass-09)
Function: Donkey of the Apocolypse
Quote:"My Fellow Cybertonians..."
Profile: he's a liberal tree-hugging hippie donkey. So liberal that he gives Beachcomber the creeps. Believes that the Decepticons aren't evil, just "misunderstood". Believes that all vehicle alt-mode transformers should be forced to take on Beast modes to keep from emitting greenhouse gases.
Abilities: Like all the Automated Security Sentries, A.S.S.-09 comes equipped with a stunwhip, which renders enemies unconscious without permanently damaging them. Armored body in beastmode able to withstand most heavy artillary assaults; hooves can kick a hole thru solid steel or even knock a larger Transformer off his wheels.
Weaknesses: Philosophical differences with other Dairycons often cause Ass-09 to be left behind during missions. He has a distinct lack of offensive weaponry in either mode. His refusal to use his abilities often cost him considerably. Constant speeches about protecting the environment have actually caused some Autobots to switch sides in the conflict.
