Seibertron.com member Sunstar has stumbled across a link for what may be an exclusive for this year's Botcon. It is a repaint of Vector Prime as what appears to be Alpha Trion! It also appears to have a remolded head. This would also be the first non-PVC figure of Alpha Trion. Thanks to e-bay member ETOYSHUNTER for the great pictures!

The all gold Vector Prime planet key looks ridiculous. They should have remolded to look like the key to Vector Sigma or they should have used C-Optimus's Matrix-shaped key and vacuum-metalized the minicon to look like the key to Vector Sigma.

Ditto

Not a bad looking representation. Not a must-buy for me, as I never have been a big fan of the Alpha Trion character (just have no interest, I guess...), but this looks like a great figure for those attending. The head sculpt is pretty dead-on!

Dude that looks so badass! Would he be considered a classic 'cause I think he would fit right in.

Great head sculpt & concept. I love that the Botcon people are filling the gaps and adding a richness and history to the franchise. I haven't been this excited about a lavender figure since the Japanese Beast Wars Galvatron dragon.

So, we finally know the alt mode for this guy.

Not a bad looking figure.

This to me is a must have. It's nice to see BotCon providing figures that we never got.

Now that's cool! I hope hasbro works this fig into the classics line or some other line after the movie figures.

That is the single badest figure i have seen yet from the Botcon exclusives category, assuming its legit.. Damn, thats pretty sweet, and he looks alot like the G-1 counterpart that appeared in a few episodes of the Rodimus Prime years..

Nice, a must have.. the go-t is well done..

Transtopia repaint of Vector prime/Alpha trion is WAYY better than this one. The paint use on that look cool. They have a metallic finish. I do like the head sculpt in this one,but I hate the colors. He looks like he should of came in a easter basket. Next to all the pastel eggs!

Wow! At first I was going to pass over this for being just another repaint, but I really do think I like the head remold. I'll be sure to get this.
