Yeah, it looks like this Facebook page is going to get updated rather frequently with more log entries and Facebook posts. So this should be something that we'll want to keep a close eye on for a while.

I hope just an appearance. An Axor update already happened, I don't need another one - would much rather have a different character.

...Nah, not seeing it.
Yeah, that's why him being mentioned kinda threw me off.

For the ones who guessed Devcon and to the ones who made a kitbash of him from Generations Scourge:
You were all on the mark!

The official BotCon 2014 website has revealed the first Knight in this year's Pirates vs. Knight exclusive set, and it's a character many of us have been waiting on for years! Devcon is receiving his first ever figure in the form of a Generations Deluxe Scourge retool/repaint! Devcon made his initial appearance in the original G1 Transformers cartoon episode The Gambler, as an Autobot bounty hunter. Check out the images mirrored below:

Excellent choice of mold, fantastic colors, and cool head sculpt so far. Can't complain about this one, even if it isn't all that surprising.

this looks pretty darn good, so that's 2 out of 3 for the set so far.

He prefers the term "tramp stamp".

This is more like what I expect to get from the Club and BotCon. Not Ferak and not a Cannonball update to a toy from 9 years ago that was a filler character. Devcon was long overdue and this looks better than Devcon from the Energon Slugslinger mold. Hopefully this leads to a proper closer-to-show-accuracy Devcon from Hasbro at some point but in the meantime, I can't wait to put this guy next to Smokescreen at long last.

Wow, I was joking and poking fun at his fans, but it turns out I was right? 
He looks pretty good.

This is the first time I've seen a Botcon toy and thought "hook me up. I need some of that plastic crack".
Anyone need a Kidney or a Lung?

Question to all of you who squeed like fangirls over getting Devcon. Will he be staying in the BotCon set, or will he be displayed with G1 figures or at least Generations figures, since he's a very accurate representation of the character?

He'd go with my G1 toys, like Darkmount\Straxus did.
