More New Info on next Botcon Figure Set

It could be an all new continuity, like last year.

It'd be nice to see all new characters made from the Universe moulds, or an expansion of the Fun Pub Classics fiction. I got my Springer and Huffer today, and they are brilliant, it'd be nice for that universe to be expanded.


Diaclone Sunstreaker deco?

My thought from that statement was the second wave of G1 Autobots Cars, possibly reusing energon molds.

Young Autobot....

A team of Hot Shot's or Wheelie's?

My 'Wheelie and Dinobots' sense is tingling.

Wouldn't it be a cruel joke for them to recolor the seekers and call them aerialbots? Hahahaha

I would like to see just one or two good bots and the words Botcon printed on it. The megatron from last year was decent, the showcased red and white blandly colored bot was not. I looked at it and said that is the most boring bot ever. These things should at least have decent paint jobs.

Timeline is new but familiar?
Animated is new, and all its G1 references make it familiar.
I'm thinking G1 characters with Animated molds.
Could be cool, could go horribly wrong.

I'd rather see a War Dawn / War Within type timeline though, which fits that evidence almost as well.

my guess goes to the throttle bots, uno searchlight etc

Could be Universe Onslaught remolded into Classic Bulkhead.

It would be sorta neat if the Botcon set was G1 Optimus/Optronix/Orion Pax at his first command. His team was G1 Ratchet, G1 Prowl, G1 Bumblebee and a new classics varsion of Bulkhead.

"for one young autobot..." "who had no idea what destiny awaited him, his life at the packing plant was about to change... forever." I'm with scaleface it will be the adventures of Orion Pax and his plucky young cohorts. G1 characters as we have never seen them before sounds like the young adventures of Prime to me, and after all isn't animated doing that already?

I believe her name is Bombshell.

I have it on very good authority that the Elita-1 version of Thunderblast will be in the set.

Which actually would make the whole concept depicted as a Botcon set rather redundant, frankly - especially if it's supposed to be familiar and NEW at the same time, as Brian puts it.

I guess I better save up - I gotta admit it was kinda nice going a year without having to shill for a set.

Powerdashers!
