I just hope he will be available easy enough, I never saw Motormaster and Rodimus in stores.

Snarl's initial release is Wave 2, the end of the year listing for him is him getting repacked alongside Primal's first release.DeathReviews wrote:It's nice to see more of Leader Snarl. But he's not due out until the end of this year, right? It's crazy that a reviewer is somehow getting hold of finished product almost ten MONTHS before they're supposed to be available to the public.

I do hope to see a new TLK Bumblebee in the future that uses the engineering upgrades from this figure, especially with the chest. Not sure if a reshell would work or not since none of the alt mode parts could be reused because of how different the shaping and detail is on that version of the Camaro.
We're not 100% sure if the rerelease of TLK Bee as SS-25 counts as definitive or not, but since the rerelease of High Octane Bee as SS-79 is not considered definitive by Hasbro and a new version is still on the table, it's possible we could get a new TLK Bee too.

How do you know that?

From what I've seen its a continuation in name only. The exclusives and programming are inferior to FunPub's version, but I also didn't actually attend just read a lot about it and saw media.

For real?
I strangely never heard of it.
Did they had Transformers exclusives that was only available there?
I was there.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:BotCon came back just last year.-Kanrabat- wrote:-- Botcon and FunPub are no longer a thing, being replaced by way more accessible store exclusives and the Select line.

Exclusives, yes. Transformers, no.-Kanrabat- wrote:Did they had Transformers exclusives that was only available there?

For the record, BotCon was un-licensed for the first eight years of its existence. It wasn't until 2002 that Hasbro finally gave it the official Transformers license. This current situation is basically like how it was before, only without the convention-exclusive official Hasbro/Takara-made Transformers toys, which was not everyone's main draw for attending. For many, the experience itself, and the friendships people made with each other, was the main reason for attending.Rodimus Prime wrote:From what I've seen its a continuation in name only.
Speaking as one who did attend, those BeastBox toys are high quality and very intricate. And the events were no different than in the Fun Pub years: Voice actor panels, TF toy panels, TF lore panels, autograph sessions, a script reading, a cosplay contest, customization classes, raffle drawings, and more. Same as any past BotCon.Rodimus Prime wrote:The exclusives and programming are inferior to FunPub's version, but I also didn't actually attend just read a lot about it and saw media.

I was really thinking mainly of the corporate aspect of it I guess. I understand there are a lot of different facets to a convention. Good to know it's kept up its community-oriented spirit.Sabrblade wrote:For the record, BotCon was un-licensed for the first eight years of its existence.

Not exactly the same, though. It doesn't involve official Hasbro representation, it's back to being strictly a fan convention. Which does have a lot of positives over being corporate-sponsored.Speaking as one who did attend, those BeastBox toys are high quality and very intricate.

I enjoy that mold a lot. I hope we get the 2 AOE Bees and TLK Bee with new molds, all 3 of those guys need it.
