Transformers Botcon 2015 "Cybertrons Most Wanted" 3 Page Comic Preview

Not going to BotCon, so I won't be reading the full issue or picking up the figures, but I did like the strongarm appearance in the end, cool to see that character being integrated into other fiction.

Speaking of Funpub related stuff, did anybody mention that 3.0 subscribers are starting to receive Carzap in the mail ? Hoping mine comes tomorrow. I love me some G2.

Grimlock's in the crowd on page 1, well, two of them, actually. RID and a made-up one?

I'm willing to bet the censored character is General Optimus Prime from Generations Roadbuster.

Eh, I dunno about that one. Remember: Axiom Nexus has no legal Primes or Megatrons, so he probs shouldn't be a police officer. I'm thinking that black redeco of Skids

Well my logic behind it is that a rolling thunder or General OP fits within the military police more than skids. Also it's possible it's not really an Optimus Prime, there isn't to much connection to him being a prime in character outside of name considering that it looks nothing like OP, even in the original figure, and has no known fiction behind it.

At the same time, I feel like it's possible that the Skids guy unlocked all his weapons and that's what gave Battletrap pause there, but you may very well be right

Both do have a metric shit ton, which is different from and imperial shit ton mind you, of weapons of their person.

That gun barrel is most definitely the M16ish gun that the Roadbuster mold has.

Is that Godzilla-esque Grimlock based on the new Cyber series Grimlock? I remember that design from somewhere, but can't quite point it.
Also, Hailstorm!

Hmmm, as a crossover Transformers/Power Rangers fan, I can't help but see that Godzilla-esque "Grimlock" as the original Dragonzord. I mean, its changed enough to not infringe, but to me that is what it clearly looks like.

The "C-81" from the I.D. bolt is rather odd, as that's the ID number for G1 Wreck-Gar, meanwhile the regular "81" ID number has been retroactively assigned to the Gobot Road Ranger.

And can we say "General Optimus Prime" confirmed? The shape of the gun aimed at Megatron and the gang is similar to Gen. Roadbuster's.

It's Dalung Master, a KO mix of Grimlock and Godzilla.

SOOOOOO many Seekers!



I need every single one of them and even more after that.



My hunger for Seeker repaints will never diminish and my most desired repaint at this point is Redwing.

The last few years I have really gotten into the TFCC, Timelines comics and stories. Really liked the TFSS 2.0 comic but it was way too short, even though we get a bit of Thrustinator in the new one. I appreciate what they do put out but since the TFCC magazine is only 6 times a year, it would be great if they could expand the comics parts of it. Just want more story with the TFCC figure characters whether its in the magazine or online I would be happy. Add more/finish the Chromedome and Barricade parts please.
