    You would think they'd have put this in the main set somehow or made it a club exclusive, given the excitement about the potential of this figure. To see it as an attendee only toy is a bit of a disappointment.

    its about time. weird so see so many negaitive remarks about this. whatever this figure has made botcon worth it. he's better than any of the boxset pieces. ive voiced in teh past about how stupid it is that hasbro didnt make him already.

    I would have been happier with Hun-Grrr from Cybertron Scourge. The Legends version works better than Razorclaw's.

    Cool idea, bad execution.

    ...Sides, most customizers have already repainted leobreaker dozens of times and no matter what you do you still can't save this figure's bot mode.

    Considering a Razorclaw repaint was called almost to the second the Leo Prime remold was revealed, I'm a little annoyed it will now be convention exclusive. Oh well, it's the only Botcon toy I want enough to actually try getting after-con. (since I can't go this year)

    It seems to fit this mold just fine. But why did they even bother last year with the minicon version.

    Another shining example of repainting a figure that has already been repainted this year. Good job guys. Maybe the next figure will use the Universe/Classics 2.0 Prowl mold, cause we just ain't got enough of that guy this year.

    Technically we've only had one repaint of Universe Prowl this year. Prowl and Silverstreak both came out last summer and fall.

    This will go well with my 2006 Botcon set. I must have for me.

    I'll second that. I'm a sucker for cat molds. Plus Razorclaws paint scheme will do a lot to make up for shortcomings of the mold for me. I'm digging it.
