Rumour: And the theme for Botcon 2010's toys is???

Those would me made of win.

Blue Grimlock?

I thought they don't reuse molds that have been used as past convention toys? Grimlock and Ramjet were in the 07 and 08 sets.

I wouldn't mind it, but I doubt we'll see anything G2. A Generation Lost probably means something taking place after the WOH set from last year.

Well, it's not written in stone that they can't use previous botcon molds, I think they just want to avoid that as much as possible, but I think that they would use an older mold if the case called for it.

If this G2 rumor is true, then I would really, really love for FP to give us a G2 Ramjet deco. Didn't Pyro and Clench qualify as part of G2? If so, I'm tossing them in as the Botcon leaders for the set. Pyro from Cybertron Op Prime, hopefully in yellow and black. And Clench from G2 Hero Op Prime. Granted, we do already have this mold as RiD Scourge, but I think with a new head, this may work.

I suppose it had to happen eventually.

Judgement on these toys could be harsh depending on what they bring forward.

I expect that this will just be the G2 Stunticon release.

There's another few possibilities of interpretation, you know...

1 ) Characters still on Cybertron during the time the Boss Bots and Boss Cons were in stasis on Earth.

2 ) The time period between G1 Season 2 and the Movie.

3 ) An alternate timeline branching from the movie, where they didn't get Unicron destroyed until after he ate Cybertron

Etcetera, etcetera...

Yes true, however my source (who predicted SDCC Blaster and others before they became known) predicts a G2 set. On his past track record I posted it as a rumour.

What I'd like from a G2 set would be as follows:

Cybertron Starscream as Jhiaxus (A MUST!!!)

Energon Starscream as Hooligan (we already saw it in the Wings of homour comic)

Robotmasters Mirage as Double Clutch

Energon Barricade as Mindset

Classics Seeker mold in G2 Ramjet colours BUT names Slipstream (Animated SS's colours are very reminiscent of G2 Ramjet to me and it would retcon a cool new Animated character into G1/G2)

Classics Starscream in G2 colours but as a brand new Seeker character (if this was done, those of us that have the G2 Seekers would instantly have new characters as many of us will not be able to buy the Botcon set anyway)

Remold the heads on the Animated Twins to give us one of those combining Cybertronain jets

Reissue G1 Sideswipe as Firecracker (never happen but I can dream)

Energon Starscream as Smokescreen

Cybertron Thundercracker as Space Case

If as some are speculating, it's not G2 but another TF era, I'd love it to be the Actionmaster era. We've already seen Banzai-tron and Overrun in the comics. Funnily, I've always seen Micromaster Energon Devestator as the Actionmaster character because of it's size. Classics Megatron needs a head remold and repaint as Treadshot.

Then again, we've also seen Japanese exclusive characters in the Con fiction with Leozack, Hellbat and the Autobot Pretender Commander whose name escapes me.

Agreed..That'd be fine by me... The one part that is got me worrying is the limited set number that will be produced..Will kind of eliminate those who would be on the fence about gettting them for the normal price versus the insane jacked up price..Gonna have to pull the trigger on this one fo sho'...

Wasn't the policy that they wouldn't use the same molds two years in a row? Ramjetwas used in 07 so could be used in 09 and 10. Grimlock was in 08 so it could be feasable to be in this box. I hope not as they have done Grimlock twice (once as Overkill).

I see it as possible.
