BotCon '12 Brochure Now Live - Six Figure Set Revealed

It has Shattered Glass characters? Damn, guess I'm buying this years set. Here I was hoping to save some cash.

Overlord and Metalhawk??? Yes please, shame I can't go though.

Judging by Metalhawk's appearence in Death Of Optimus Prime, I'm guessing he will be a repaint of Cyclonus.

Well that just saved me several hundred dollars.

More Shattered Glass? Is it that big of a deal? I'm seriously asking, not being funny. Am I missing something?

Even if it was G1 colors instead of SG, I dont think people would have gone nuts over Ultra Magnus from the Laser Prime mold. Even with a repainted G1 Maketoy Tanker set, it couldnt compete with City Commander which most of us have.

My guess about Soundwave is it will be the Ratchet mold with the WFC generations head to cut costs. If this figure looks good as Soundwave, I might be a little pissed that it is SG instead of G1.

Wow, I was more excited when I thought this was a GoBots set. I have 0 SG figs and desire 0 SG figs. I'm not sure why they thought any of these would be a 'must have' (maybe the total lack of any official 'Classics' Soundwave?).

As stated above, City Commander > repaint G2 Prime as Magnus (by far). As for Soundwave, I have my Device Label Soundwave with the Reprolabels set, that's plenty good enough for my Classics shelf.

This is certainly great news for SG collectors though, since in previous years they only got 1-2 figs each year for the most part, so this will expand their collections nicely.

It was just weird to read "the war criminal Ultra Magnus."

Overly I am not impressed. I'm thinking about canceling my hotel reservation and just ordering the Iacon package. I guess the Hall of Fame might decide for me...

Any idea when registration for the packages start? February probably?

here's my guesses on what molds the 6 announced botcon 2012 figures in this thread will use:

(1) SG Evil utra magnus. this will use the RTS G-2 Laser prime deluxe toy.

(2)SG heroic Soundwave,this will use the classics 2.0 deluxe ratchet/ironhide mold

(3)SG Evil tracks,this will use the generations or rts tracks deluxe mold

(4)SG Heroic treadshot,this will use the WFC Megatron deluxe toy or the HFTD bludgeon voyager size mold or the classics 1.0 deluxe sized megatron toy mold.

(5)classics metalhawk,this will use the Generations skyshadow/thunderhawk deluxe toy mold.

(6)classics overlord,this will obviously use a voyager sized toy mold from either,Animated,HFTD or from RTS. It won't be 2 toys merging to form a bigger robot mode. my guesses are as follows: I THINK THE ANIMATED VOYAGER SIZED BLITZWING TOY STANDS THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING TURNED INTO OVERLORD. Because animated blitzwing is a tripple changer,it has a jet & tank mode.

Personally,IMHO, if hasbro cared or was smart enough they would have created their own masterforce styled toy years ago. using 2 voyagers from the energon autobots voyager size class. energon voyager sized jetfire colored black with a new head would have made a decent black jet half for overlord. the energon voyager sized cliffjumper toy modified with as a tank by replacing parts & adding a tank turrent part,with a new head. then combine the tank & jet to form overlord.
