    [edit]

    Actually... I got the link to work. Third try was a charm. But still... what is it?

    I don't recall them squirting water but I do know they were the talk of the show for the first day or so. One of the biggest KOs I think a lot of people have ever seen too.

    Wasn't that cheap, like $10.00 or so?

    Yep they were $10 and came in both "Thundercracker" and "Skywarp" versions (I got both!) Supply dried up pretty fast at the show and even faster after the show for the ones that hit Ebay. Still $300 is a bit pricey for a KO!

    I seem to remember reading a few threads about them. Interesting little oversized HoC critters.

    I almost got a few to repaint, but considering I was staying in LA for another week after Botcon I decided against it.
