In your cyber-dreams people...
We all saw the Christmas miracle that was bestowed upon us from Botcon – the brochure and listing of exclusive toys that would be gracing the boxset this year. In a strange turn of events the boxset will have six figures instead of the usual five. Could this mean we are getting extra plastic crack or that it will be comprises solely of deluxes and smaller?
Here’s the roster:
Shattered Glass:
- Evil Ultra Magnus
- Evil Tracks
- Heroic Soundwave
- Heroic Treadshot
Classics:
- Overlord/Gigatron
- Metalhawk
Twitter has told us that no Armada / Energon / Cybertron molds have been used for this year, thank the Heavens. So it’s lookin’ like classics molds again, which is all anyone really wants. Some speculation on the molds to be used are as follows:
Metalhawk as Universe Cyclonus.
Seems feasible...
Treadshot as Universe Warpath
No one really knows jack about this guy - Digibash by Air Hammer
Soundwave as Ironhide / Ratchet mold
Duh. Forget your stupid music label whitewave
Magnus is clearly going to be the G2 Laser Prime mold with a Bludgeon styled head.
Magnus Barmitzvah - Spookeee-scarreeee
Evil Track isn’t too hard to decipher – probably a black or red repaint of the current Tracks toy.
Shattered glass on this guy will make him very gay-sad. 🙁
The one big question is is what will Overlord be? Will they focus on the jet? The Tank? BOTH? NEITHER?!!?!? Some possibilities include Deluxe Thunderwing, Ultra Silverbolt, or maybe even Warpath again if Treadshot doesn’t claim the mold. I’m also sniffing around the Cybertronian Megatron mold… Maybe we’ll get a super treat and have some sort of combiner made of two figures?!? Yeah right, but it’s fun to be a nerd sometimes. Whatever they choose for Overlord, that’s what I am anticipating the most.
Overlord, you fiend!
So what else? What else is bound to come our way? Let’s leave that for another day… or the next post!
