    It happened last year, too. The Arcee molds were available and Megatron was on e-bay as well.

    This is either a Botcon or club exclusive, definitely. This meshes PERFECTLY with what Ben Yee hinted to me at least years' Botcon.

    I wasn't going to say anything until this was revealed, but I was talking with Ben about the Classics Legends figures and mentioned that I was surprised they hadn't redecoed Legends Vector Prime into Alpha Trion. Ben Yee said "Well, there's a reason for that..." and kind of trailed off.

    BINGO.

    That's pretty awesome, though I think we were all expecting this to happen one day.

    Yeah. It's not that hard apparently. Look at my sig. That Botcon Megs from last year was purchased on eBay at least four months before the convention.

    ...looks like I'll have to pay attention to some upcoming auctions...

    I figured someone would grab it soon (I had posted spotting it in the TF on Ebay section). That's a very nice looking piece.

    Yep, that would be me. :p  I was just looking for new stuff on e-bay and saw it. If they credit the story, you should get if you posted first. Thanks for the heads up!

    Can't say it surprises me, and it looks very good. Looking forward to getting him at Botcon.

    This better be a Botcon or club exclusive. Between this Alpha Trion and Thrust, I'm not sure which figure I'm looking forward to most.
