Box 2: No TM Rhinox, Waspinator or Terrorsaur. Hmmmm. Odd. Scourge and Ramulus both flaking chrome like nobody's business, others are fine. Box 3: More Neo Dinobot repaints than I was expecting. I transformed Deadend back to creature mode! Looking to acquire TM Rhinox or Waspinator? I can help there. ;-) Apologies if that's too obvious a sales plug! Jonathan

haha!
The thing is, I'm sure I own them somewhere......
This morning's trip confirms the absence of TM2 Cybershark, that Magaboss is Japanese (Songkong) and Break is also the Songkong version from a vs pack

Interesting seeing BM Blast Punch Primal stood next to Masterpiece.
Also...those prototype colours...

Apparently it was a bit quieter this year. Certainly havent seen much advertising about it before hand.

No sulky "this is what you coulda had" fake botcon sets this year, I guess.

Those are really facinating. I wish they didn't cover Proto-hide's robot mode with the elephant that largely stayed the same, though. Proto-Clamp looks like he didn't change at all, save for added detail.
Assuming the green frog is what will become Spittor, but I don't find the red clawed guy the least bit familiar. Either he changed so much that he's completely different, or it was dropped all together. -Wait... I think he may be Seaclamp? A second prototype Seaclamp?

No, they're old prototypes for when they were trying to figure out the designs and engineering.

Yeah it looks like the process used was a really rough blocky mockup to work out the engineering before they made a more detailed version with the proper designwork
There's also design mockups for rubber-coated figures and one where the limbs all sort of pull out from the torso. No prizes for why neither of those ideas worked!

If they'd have done that, the collectors market would be a very different place in terms of good condition toys! I imagine even ones in-package would be disintigrating!

There's a Tako Tank + Ikard up on one of the Facebook sales groups for £150. Seems a bit pricey.
