Might be slightly off topic, but wouldn't it be nice for Hasbro to show some love this side of the pond and send some toys to Auto Assembly once in a while? It's a nice thought, but I guess the event is a little on the small side for Hasbro to deem it a profitable venture. Best we'll get is if that dealer shows up with a box full of cheap Tap-Out's again. Which I wouldn't mind, because I forgot to pick one up last year. But looking back on the majority of BotCon exclusives, I don't really think I'd be interested in buying them anyway... |

URRRAGH! Botcon Kup looks RUBBISH! What's that about?! And poor Kup still I'll find a decent body to stick it on. Andy |

I do miss when exclusives were 'new guys' you know |

Well for the target audience (US fans) these toys are new guys, what with a 'Skyquake' or 'Leozack' not being out there before I think.

Scourge has one ugly face there!
What size is that mould? Would he fit in with Universe Cyclonus and Galvatron?

Yup it's a deluxe. And very nice. I got the Ratbat repaint for Christmas. Still not wowed by the boxset, but my only interest was in Thunderclash anywho.

When anyone else looks at the face sculpts of 'young' Kup and 'young' Scourge, does anyone else hear the theme from Muppet Babies in their head?
Or is it just me?

According to an email I (and every other TF fan club member) just got, the loose toy sets people can buy along with their giftsets and nonattendee packs have sold out as of close of business today. Six days. Cor blimey. We've only seen two of the five figures, and only one before the sell-out email was sent.

No doubt that quite a few of those loose sets will pop up on eBay a few days after the con for extortionate prices.

I have to say that I am not wildly enthused by these myself. Kup is a toy I'm not particularly fussed with, and I don't think the colour scheme on Scourge suits that mold particularly much. The Skyquake and Leozack schemes I do quite like mind you. Part of it is that they are working from a mold I am quite partial to, but I do actually quite like the colours for some strange reason.

I think it's OK, but nothing to get excited about.

I am hoping this guy is so dull and drab to not alienate people when Thunderclash is revealed and turns out to be INSANE and will give you a visual hernia He will come with SHADES because to look at him with your naked eyes would blind you! Please? That would be amazing |

Is there any significance to the Landshark character? Or is he new?

Apparently new, but looking at the preview it wouldn't surprise me if it was going to be Roadbuster, before Hasbro released the Target 2 pack of Roadbuster and Dirge.
