Voyager Class Battletrap revealed as BotCon 2015 Transformers Exclusive

Just as we all called it!

Now bring on a Flywheels from Blitzwing/Doubledealer!

Honestly, even though this is the superior figure, mold wise, I would've proffered Fly wheels from blitzing being the foremost duocon . Also the head looks a little small compared to the long neck. Though I think the reason it looks off is because the goggles are more of aviators on this figure, rather than the well large temple, to temple goggles on the original.

From the sound of his bio, he might be originally from (a version of) the Dreamwave G1 continuity.

I normally end up trying to get a single Botcon figure (Sir Soundwave, Land Shark and such.)

I always liked Battletrap and as I had both Duocons, I preferred him so this news is solid.

DOH! Thanks for pointing this out. Feeding my 4 month old and trying to write news stories at the same time don't work that well together.

Of course this means flywheels will be the blitzwing mold and he will be a convention exclusive to make you spend more money. Im kind of feeling them. But they will need some 3rd party accessories to differentiate them from springer and blitzwing. New heads arent enough.

I've often wondered why they don't provide new accessories on some occasions. It would go a long ways toward selling some of these figures.

Of note is that he said

"there's very little blue on the next three, if any."

Another clue to the next reveals... and it would exclude that little blue guy we saw earlier. Back to the drawing board

I did some looking into BotCon 1996 for the Bounty Hunter, and... I can tell it wasn't a very good convention to say the least (thank you, Men in Black). Anyway, Pulp Fiction theme, Onyx Primal, G2 Greasepit, Double Pretenders, what else do we have that's unique to that convention?

What about a Dawn of Future's Past Onyx Primal? I was initially thinking we'd need a bat related mold (such as Generations Ratbat) with a new Onyx Primal/Optimus head, but then realized he could be any vehicle. Heck, they could do the Lio Convoy / IDW Orion Pax mold done in black and golds for an Onyx Primal (or whatever colors Onyx Primal was).

Well of course, they want to save Pretender Oilmaster with Pretender Shell for the last reveal.
