    First, do you live in a humid climate? :lol 
    Stickers don't last too long down here, even when kept in a year-round climate controlled facility. Humidity is EVERYWHERE in Louisiana, unfortunately.

    The same could have been said for Pirates, as well. It's not so much "they didn't put the symbol I want on it" that irks me. It is again, the double standard of "well this technically is the first Devcon, so we'll ignore the theme," when the theme is put there for a reason in the first place.. If they had figures that they wanted to place in the theme, that would interfere with that theme due to possible fan out-cry, then change the theme. Or wait until you can produce the figure accordingly (as Pete so commonly puts it, "when it makes sense.") Devcon makes since as a knight. A knight with questionable ethics, but a knight nonetheless, but It's starting to feel like he was forced. And when they have to start forcing characters/figures in the set, I become somewhat worried. If it's explained in fiction, I may start to retract from being so pushy on the subject; but until then...

    This may or may not be a bit irrelevant, but does anyone else think that with a different head and the right paint job, this mold would make a pretty good Alpha Trion?

    I'm with you, not having the knight symbol decreases the interest in the figure for me. I understand a lot of people have been looking forward to this character, but for me he's part of the Botcon set and if he doesn't fit the theme then why include him.

    After watching the g1 ep, I feel this verson of devcon has way too much red. Wish they would have kept the red to what it was in the show
