    I really hope we do get some of those BH/BW toys as souvenirs, or hell just give us Dynobot from Springer and Jawbreaker from BH Ratchet and I'll be happy.

    Oh yes, Dynobot from Springer has to be a sure seller. It already looks great as a straight up repaint, but imagine if it even got an accurate head! Win!

    True, but I'm curious the case ratios on some of those figures. I know Waspinator was packed in a few different waves, same with Rhinox, so there's really no surprise there, honestly. I didn't keep up with the Hasbro BW releases, because I only bought the Takara counterparts.

    And I very much hope Hasbro does something for the 20th anniversary that isn't a SDCC or something. I'd like to see something at retail, even if it's just reboxed toys from 20 years ago (even though that may be a bit out of the "budget" range for them).

    Isn't Takara doing Diaclone? And don't they combine? Hmm, weird.
    And evidently Diaclone doesn't sell as well as you'd think it does if ALL of the souvenir sets are left-over in the club store still. I recall Pete saying something about the G2 set being the better seller. While the Diaclone set(s) are still somewhat plentiful.

    That's...um...

    Where's my Masquerade homage set?

    Look, I want a BW homage too, but not like this! The pre-Earth modes for the Axalon crew, that was a stroke of genius!

    This? This is stupid and makes no sense since these are BEAST characters. They aren't supposed to have standard vehicle alt modes. Argh. Skipping this.

    I hope they reuse some of those BW Uprising ideas for the souvenir sets. It NEEDS to happen. I CAN'T WAIT!!

    My sentiments exactly. For both BW in general, and this far-fetched idea for CW retools.

    Just dawned on me that they could throw us a curve ball and use some of the Transformers GO! toys for BW theme souvenirs. I could see the main samurai trio being repainted/retooled into Magnaboss.

    ...And suddenly I need that.

    I'd laugh if the Voyager was Primal, using the CW Prime mold.

    Then we'd re-open the "TRUKK NOT MUNKY" debate again. :popcorn

    The head looks just like Ravage's in Beast Wars to me.

    As Con exclusives, I'm not too impressed behind the idea. Now if they were general retail, I'd get them just to have some "Non-Autobot" repaints to let Galvatronus use.

    What bugs me is we are getting Autobot repaint limbs for Op-Max and another wave of Autobot repaint limbs for Sky Reign. But Galvatronus is not getting a dedicated wave of repaint Decepticon limbs. The only "Non-Autobot" repaint options are next year's Sub set or the Con set. :)

    I was thinking of going but I think I'll just get what I like off ebay (like Ravage), I'm running out of room & only have space for the rest of CW's, the freebie, & the Subscription Service anyway.

    It kinda fits with the Galvatronus bio in that he hypnotizes and forcibly combines with other limb bots, so I'm okay with that.

    The TFCC set is looking like the much better option than the Botcon set, glad I subbed.

    I hope the souvenir figures are something other than beast wars.
