Is that correctly transformed? Gotta say I'm not impressed. Are you sure the chest can't get higher? Scorponok is still the best of this set.

One, the neck is over extended, its part of the neo classics scourges original tooling so the head can extend in vehicle mode like in the original movie.
Two, the eyes are to small and close together, the nose is long and narrow, and mouth is more of blob representing lips that are eschew

So according to this, Scorponok/Zarak is not the boss of the Pirates, Cannonball is. I was under the impression that while Cannonball was the Captain, and his crew included only himself and Ferak with Tornado, it was actually Zarak/Scorponok who had the final word. Looks like Zarak/Scorponok is just a common crew member of the Pirates.

Yup. Tornado actually clued us in on that through his Datalogs. He mentions that Zarak is up in arms over not knowing what Cannonball is planning before the Transwarp jump.
Edit: Man, I hope eBay prices go down after more people have their stuff in hand. I'd really like to grab more than just a set of the Clones.

Is it weird I have no interest in Scorponok? He's cool and all, but that Energon mold is son inflexible. I have a feeling we'll see some Generations incarnation of Scorponok in a year or two, just based on the before market prices of this guy alone.
Hoping that means there are people who only want Scorponok from this set. Should give me an opportunity to pick up the other 4 figures in the box set economically.

So we already have a bit of a spoiler concerning Shokaract and his BotCon toy:

Yup, that's Shokaract's original toy, and the McGuffin he's holding? The Matrix of Conquest. Not related to the Dead Matrix.

I didn't read those.
I didn't think someone as powerful as Scorponok would take shit from anyone.

Also keep in mind Wings follows the G1 cartoon timeline for the most part in which Scorponok was lifeless, but we get a small comic reference with the Headmaster figure: Olin Zarak, son of Lord Zarak and brother to Llyra.

Yeah, I think there's something wrong with me.
Back in the land of normal stuff, it looks like this comic ties the "Descent Into Evil" set in with the 3H-era Botcon comics, and possibly puts the Wings Universe in the same continuity as bot of those. I feel continuity headaches coming on.
Also, speaking of confusion, Alpha Trizer? Is he Alpha Trion with a new name, or is he a new guy who's similar to Alpha Trion but is a separate individual?

Confusing it even more: Apelinq's Journals that are being found by Tornado mention the Universe War and 3H Wreckers(Devcon was a former Wrecker, the new Wrecker's ship is named after a deceased member named Rodimus, etc.) and that THIS Devcon, Primal Prime, maybe Apelinq, and Alpha Trizer were involved in it, meaning that they may not be native to Wings in the first place.
Apelinq is even having memories of 3H's version of Omega Point, which everyone was supposed to have forgotten(except Primal Prime, who had to have his mind wiped by Vector Sigma) because Shokaract was erased from the timeline.
My theory: at the end of the Universe War, the Wreckers weren't actually returned to their home universe and instead wound up in Wings, which was similar enough at that point that they were able to be slotted in with no paradoxes or they merged with their counterparts and their memories altered to adjust to the differences.

Can someone let us know the prices at the booth? I'd heard ~$140 for the 3-pack and $50 for the Kreo pack, but not sure on the others.
Edit: Found it:
Knight 3-Pack $139
Clones $95
Pirate 2-pack $82
Kre-O 6-pack $50

Does anyone have a schedule? I'd like to know about when I can expect news on what.

Anyone know if they have Depth Charge, Rampage, and Transmutate at the Club store? I might try and find someone to middleman them for me if they're cheap enough.

If that doesn't work out for you, Depth Charge and Transmutate are available at the club's online store, so you could probably get someone to order them from there for you if you asked around.

Well, I caved. I totally bought a bunch of Botcon exclusives off of ebay just now. Oddly enough, the ones I wanted/purchased were all the figures not included in the boxed set. I didn't go for Scorponok, Ginrai or any of the others. I snagged Flamewar, the three 'Knights', the two 'Pirates' and the two Clones. I'm also gonna snag a Primal Prime once one comes up that's already been painted (and painted well at that). If a few days or so go by without any painted/customized Primal Primes showing up, then I'll just snag one of the unpainted ones and attempt it myself. I just wish it included the paints so I wouldn't have to worry about color matching.
It's funny that this year, just as with last year's set (the Rainmakers (Welcoming Committee), the show-exclusives were the only ones to interest me and the ones in the boxed set were a flop or at least not worth paying the prices. I mean I get that Scorponok and Devcon in particular have been requested like crazy and were definitely excellent choices for exclusives, especially with the custom Headmaster head for Scorponok and all, but I just wasn't convinced that I needed to have them in my collection. That said, all these 3H Beast Wars characters were absolute must haves for me. I've got all of their original versions already, but most of these are really awesome, and in the case of Alpha Trion it's the closest I'll ever come (short of a custom) to the 3H Botcon repaint that could've been but never was save for a single sample:
edit: I just realized that even Devcon was planned that final year before 3H went under:
So given that, plus Apelinq, Primal Prime and Shokoract (and any others who might have appeared in/been featured in the 3H Wreckers/Botcon fiction) it seems that in addition to being the 30th anniversary celebration for Transformers, it's also sort of a homage to the 3H days sort of giving them their dues for being the previous guys running Botcon I guess.
For the curious, there's a whole article about these never released 3H exclusives with pictures and info here on TFormers. They also have pics of the display cases from this year's Botcon showing off all of this year's exclusives, including the show-exclusives but I won't post those since I expect Seibertron has their own that they intend to post for the news feed.

A little early no? I feel like prices is at it's highest now, before everyone else gets a chance at it to flip

Actually it wasn't too bad. The price I got for getting all of them together was considerably lower than trying to buy each set individually so I don't figure the prices will drop by that much, particularly for some of these that you know people are gonna be snatching up like crazy (such as the Clones).

I'll probably shell out for the kreons, but TFSS payments are coming up, and then MP prowl... and I really want that comiccon dinobots set but I figure if I wait long enough that will be reasonably priced on ebay.

Yeah, I definitely don't regret my purchases. These are definitely the figures to have. That seems to be a recurring theme for the past couple years or so. The attendee-only figures beat out the boxed set figures. Those Vehicons in particular look amazing as the Decepticon Clones. That choice was a stroke of genius on the Club's part and it allowed them to finally give us the Jet Vehicon mold. Very cool.

With the demand for G1 figures to be re-introduced into the CHUG lines, I really hope these "pirated" (see what I did there?) Clones are released to the general public as Decepticon Clones Wingspan and Pounce, even if they're not beasts. All the botcon figures are pretty sweet, but those "Clones" would be the only two "must haves" I would want of this Botcon collection.
