Fellow Seibertronians, via the Cybercast podcast, we get our first look at the actual Botcon Terrorsaur. During episode 142 Pete Sinclair of Botcon was showing off several of the boxset and TFCC figures, and teased the Terrorsaur figure, which was first revealed on the Predacus boxart, and seems to be - at this point - a straight recolor of Combiner Wars Airraid.

-Ramjet can be seen at around the 22 minute mark

-Skywarp can be seen just after at the 23 minute mark

-The torso mode for Predacus at around the 24 minute mark

-Seaclamp can be seen at about the 26 minute mark

-TFCC 5.0 Prime's head can be seen at the 39 minute mark

-Terrorsaur can be seen at the 1 hour 14 minute mark.

So what do you think of these? Are you excited for this new figure? Let us know in the comments below.

Does anyone know if the free figure and this one will come with hfg's? I would assume they do but you never know.

I'd assume they would - I feel pretty safe with this assumption - I believe they're tied to the mold to some extent

It's an abbreviation meaning hand foot gun so the stock pieces that come with the cw deluxe figures.

Oddly enough, this leads in to the question of why ramhorn uses breakdowns hfg and not brawl's... since the nosecone mold is being used for computron, it doens't have the brawl hfg in the mold obviously, and predacus couldn't use computrons hands and feet for obvious reasons, so they were stuck making a bunch of extra hfg's from breakdown. Quite interesting if you ask me :-?

Pete seems to be hedging - it's as if he expects a huge amount of negativity from people as far as the comic goes.

That said, the toys look great - especially Skywarp and Predacus combined mode.

Odd...on the box he looks like a Classics mold Seeker, but now he's an Aerialbot retool?

Fellow Seibertronians, fellow Seibertronian Optibotimus has released a video review of near-final production samples of the Botcon 2016 box set figures Seaclamp, Ramhorn, and Cicadacon, otherwise known as the Tri-Predacus Council from Beast Wars. They, along with Ravage and Tarantulas will combine to form Tripredacus, but for now, Optibotimus only has the members of the Tri-Predacus Council. Seaclamp is a recolor of Combiner Wars Scattershot, and sports a new head, based on his appearance in the show, as well as the new Tripredacus head, which Optibotimus kindly shows off in the video. Ramhorn is a recolor of the Combiner Wars Technobot Nosecone, complete with the new drill weapon and new, show accurate, head; while Cicadacon is just a recolor of Combiner Wars Skydive, he still looks accurate to his show appearance. Are you excited for this Boxset? Check out the video and leave your comments below.

The combiner's name is Predacus since he is no longer made of just three members.

I would normally say wait it out because Club stock will likely go on clearance towards the end of the year, but from what I hear, due to last year's Botcon's low sales, figures this year will be much more limited.

All the fansites misunderstood what Pete said in the podcast in which he listed the souvenirs. He meant that there were four individual souvenirs and a troop builder 3-pack, but all of us (myself included) misinterpreted his words as meaning four souvenirs total, with all of them except the troop builder 3-pack being individual figures.

Posted by Railbomb on April 5th, 2016 @ 11:45pm CDT

So I have a theory on who has the non-US head sculpt assuming it isn't the CW deluxe (who I think is likely Tigatron from Ravage homaging the Botcon 2001 toy). I think it may be either A) Some random figure from Go! or B) Slipstream as Maximal Blackarachnia in her TM2 colors. As for the other unknown exclusive I think it may be BWII Galvatron so last years Lio Convoy will have his rival.

Thoughts?

Most believe it to be the Legends Blackarachnia figure redecoed as Arcee as a homage to BotCon 2001 Arcee, as the Legends Blackarachnia headsculpt was a Takara-original head.

While I have come to not mind that suggestion, I'd still kinda prefer something else instead.

You can blame fan input for that. Originally it was Waspinator that was to get axed, but he was so popular (or everyone felt sorry for him, I don't know), that Terrorsaur took the plunge instead.

And guys, didn't it say that the head "has not seen retail"? Meaning it could be a pretooled head, unused by either TakaraTomy or Hasbro? *checks list*

Hmmm... If the non-CW mold and non-retail head are separate, not counting the added "3rd heads plus new parts", these CW Deluxes have yet to use the 2nd built-in head, if any:

- Rook (if we are to believe Out of One, Many... it looks similar to Brawl)
- Brawl (I consider CW Nosecone a "3rd head plus new parts" for now)
- Wheeljack (idem dito for UW Lightspeed)
- First Aid (Ratchet anyone?)

Most guesses I saw people make (that weren't CW Bluestreak, cuz seriously guys?) were Ratchet, so he was pretty much the most expected candidate for the "G1 character w/ an alternative headsculpt".

Though, the head that has not seen Hasbro retail is one of the souvenirs.
