    The paint job is cool, but it's a little to heavy on the kibble, not to mention with the exception of a few molds, I've never been a huge fan of the A/E/C molds. Still though since it's an exclusive I'll probably get it.

    Pretty nice paintscheme, really. The Mirage mold is neat and all, but wasn't there any other plausible and good options for molds to use for Banzai-Tron?

    Pretty cool looking figure. Do want, and will shell out for it. Better do it quick, though, or it'll shoot way up in price I'm sure. Sigh...I'm so poor.

    From what I've gathered on my own: every year Fun Pub offers, in addition to the big boxset, extra attendee-only exclusives for purchase only at the Con. Around 4-5 figs, give or take. They never advertise these figs themselves beforehand in any way, shape, or form. Not on their website or anywhere(no idea why). The only reason we see them ahead of time is because testshots/whatever show up on ebay or get shown off by private buyers.

    As for what the extra figs cost, having never gone to a Con I have no idea. I've heard they're somewhat pricey though, so brings lots of spare cash if you want them all. I don't know how you go about buying them, you'll have to ask someone that's been to one before.

    Ok how come a decepticon has Ancient Autobot script on him ?? Anyone else notice this? I tried to translate it in decepticon at first but nothing matched so i checked the autobot font and it translates to " To The Victor Go The Profits" i thought it was also a pretty funny saying to put on the side of an botcon figure since they all cost too much :lol  .
    If ya want to check it for yourself here is the Key

    Good looking and it will be my first of the mold. I think I will have fun after all at Botcon.

    This might honestly be one of my favorite Transformers ever. I love the mold, and I love the character+his wacky colors. It's just... so beautiful :q
