That looks awful and is a terrible character choice for a set celebrating the anniversary of the American Beast Wars cartoon, which Big Convoy has nothing to do with.

Woopsthey are fake please delete the posts so taht I don't get people confused

Nah, let's leave it there.

Courtesy of the Transformers Collectors' Club envoy TF_JW, we have an update on the guestlist for the 2016 edition of BotCon. One spider leaves, another one crawls in, as Alec Willows cancels his appearance, but Venus Terzo confirms hers - check out more info below!

An update for the BotCon 2016 guest list:

Alec Willows has unfortunately cancelled his BotCon 2016 appearance. Well, I should say that it is unfortunate for those attending the show. For Mr. Willows, his cancellation is due to his earning a part in a theatrical play which will still be running by the time BotCon rolls around. So congratulations to him!

In his place will be the other Beast Wars spider. Venus Terzo, the voice of the original Blackarachnia, will be in attendance during the weekend and ready to sign all of those brand-new Takara Tomy Legends Blackarachnia figures!

Head over to the guest page on BotCon.com for the updated guest list.

BLACKARACHNIA!!

Pete Sinclair from the Transformers Collectors' Club was recently on the Cybercast Podcast and answered a few questions about BotCon 2016 and dropped hints about the souvenir figures and some future TFCC offerings. The following includes a few of the most interesting points Pete talked about.

Here are a few of the hints dropped about BotCon 2016 toys.

• 9 of the figures uses Combiner Wars molds including the custom class figure
• The souvenir centerpiece figure does not use a CW mold
• One of the toys "Uses a not yet released in U.S. headsculpt
• Souvenir figures will be sold individually outside the troop builder set

Pete also answered a few TFCC questions. When asked if there is still plans for more human characters from G.I. Joe figures, Pete answered that they plan to make "Only Human" Rodimus and Arcee. These figures be carded. More to be revealed at a later date. The next issue of the Club Magazine features the packaging reveal of the 2016 Club exclusive Skywarp. The issue will also feature the 2016 membership incentive figure Ramjet and will have Transformers Subscription Service 5.0 reveals.

What do you think about the BotCon figure hints? Do they give you an idea of what the souvenir figures will be? Discuss your ideas in the Energon Pub.

ooooh, that means that I could nab the one that I want on bbts and not have to buy a multi-pack; course, that means they'll bump up the prices on all of them

So, the main set has 5 CW molds, and the custom class is another CW mold.

That leaves 3 more CW molds. Maybe Shattered Glass Checkpoint (CW Offroad with a new head), X-Brawn (CW Rook with a new head), and Autotrooper (Also CW Offroad with a new head, as well as potential troop builder figure)?

All 3 were kind of teased during the sequence where SG Unicron fixes and reformats SG Optimus Prime, Prowl, Inferno, Ratchet, and Brawn in one of the Club's comics.

In fact, maybe Battle Core Optimus will get repurposed as an upgraded SG Nova Prime in the Club's fiction, in which you could make a new "Shattered Glass Ultra Prime" using him, SG X-Brawn, SG Checkpoint, and Two SG Autotroopers. It works especially great if you prefer to use CW Ironhide, Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Mirage with the regular Red CW Optimus.

I cannot wait for the subscription service reveals, each set seems to get better.
