BotCon has just revealed the first exclusive toy figure for BotCon 2012 - Gigatron.
BotCon managed to invite the Decepticons Air Commander Starcsream and Dinobots Leader Grimlock for the reveal.
Gigatron is a repaint of the Transformers NEST Bludgeon.
Check out the video clip below:

Just realised Gigatron is actually the American name for Overlord.
So this IS our classics Overlord.

I guess this brings light to the non licensed movie figure debate. I dig, just hope the swords aren't bendy plastic.

I'm not digging this at all. The head just doesn't fit the body. Aside from Soundwave, this was the only figure I was interested in. Guess I'll save some money this year.

No, well kinda. He was a plane and a tank that combined into one large bot that could also turn into a base.
I'm liking this, I hope HR will make a set for this, with Powermasters and replacements for the bendy swords.

Just noticed the new head. Also, Gigatron/Overlord has a plane and tank mode, but there is nothing with that so they had to choose one fig.
they got the toy colors spot on in my opinion.

OK, I love it, I need it, I don't want to go to Botcon. Anybody planning on selling theirs? I'll pay for it before you go.

I think a black Mini-Con drone would have topped this off. Not bad though.

So..... what the hell kinda laptop do you think Starscream uses? Looks like an Apple with a custom backing. Seems like the kind of laptop he'd use. Though why he'd use an Apple product and not something Cybertronian... or Dell, is beyond me.

IMLTHO the samari theme of bludgeon dosn't fit overlord well.
besides, didn't they say "NO" to movie-verse figures?

Talk about unexpected, never would have thought of Bludgeon as Overlord, kinda weird I mean, that Bludgeon doesn't really work as anyone else in my eyes, especially not someone with a design so unique like Overlord, At least you'd get a cool rendition of the Giga Tank.
I agree.

So... This year's BotCon is Classics vs. Shattered Glass... Correct? Over lord is not a Shattered Class figure, right? So, does this mean that the Bludgeon/Banzaitron mold can be considered Classics mold, right? (FYI, I put Lockdown and Axor in my Classics collection after the appearance in the Drift comic.)
