(*obligatory redundant Botcon seekers argument here*)
oh, wait.
Who wants to bet this guy comes screaming out of the Botcon set commanding a hefty $15-20 price tag wherever he goes? $10? Maybe?
I was really hoping for a purple helmet and remolded face. Without either, this guy bores me.
EDIT: I don't know about anybody else, but when I look at Bugbite, I hear the "One of these kids is not like the others" song from Sesame Street.

I seen this one coming, I just didn't think it would look this good!
I think this is the only one of the set I actually care for, mainly because it's not a character we've seen done to death like the seeker repaints.
Love the purple decals!

Well it turned out better than I would've figured. At least it's not a solid white figure. Still not who I would've chosen to command the Strongest of the Decepticons, though his quote suggests some sort of mind control is at play.

it's not bad, but I was hoping it wasn't this obvious. Now is Dreadwind going to be another seeker or jetfire?? I thought seeker before but now my money is on Jetfire!

Predictable, albeit, but it is a nice exclusive. I was thinking it was going to be just plain white, but the tribal symbols are a really nice touch.

I would say a Jetfire repaint is likely. There's yet to be 20 buck [retail] figure in the lot.
Now then... which classics molds have they yet to reuse for the "must be there to spend too much money on" exclusives? I suppose they'll most likely be Autobots though to maybe balance things back out.

I happen to like it. Alot of long time collectors knew that when the Botcon registration form said Bugbite as one of the characters it would be a Bumblebee repaint. This being no suprise he looks really cool in my book.
I'm on the Dreadwing/Dreadwind = Jetfire bandwagon myself. It would certainly fit appropriately with the Decepticon airforce and rumor of one of the exclusives being a voyager size figure.
If Dreadwing is the Jetfire mold then that might make it up to some people for the absolutely crappy distribution of Jetfire. Of course I have Jetfire so that would be sinply a bonus for me!
Anyways Bubite looks awesome in my book!

One reprolabel Decepticon insignia on the roof and he will be set!

Grimlock, Mirage, Hotrod, Astrotrain & Megs have not gotten the repaint treatment yet (Assuming Dreadwing is the Jetfire mold). So the question is will any of those figures be the mystery figure(s)? Or will folks lucky enough to be able to go get treated to a real suprise and end up with Classics Sunstorm?

How would sunstorm be counted as a treat?
He's not even a real charecter.

I have already made my feelings clear on the potential existence of a Botcon Sunstorm and what I will do to everyone involved in its production, so I'll not repeat it here.
Bugbite looks excellent! He's the first one of the bunch I'm tempted to keep. Fear the evil hatchback!

So many great characters out there and everyone wants Sunstorms and Nemesis Primes.
I had my own train of thought but it died when I ran outta molds. Nothing new I suspect.
Prime-Motormaster
Mirage-Dragstrip
Hotrod-Breakdown
But as I said, I ran dry at Deadend and Wildrider.
And besides, if they don't combine they really lose their charm.

It looks like his body is molded in white, but his head in another color and then white paint applied.
