    Ebay:
    Mr. Savage hinted at Botcon that the second exclusive will be Airazor as a redecoed Energon Slugslinger, like in the Botcon comic. Besides him referring to the second exclusive as a "she" and then saying "oops, did I say a 'she' there?", there is the fact that:
    - Given the much longer ears she had in the comic, pre-BW Airazor wouldn't even need a head remold, if done with the right paint apps.
    - When I asked at the Club Newsletter panel if we would be seeing future exclusives of either Slugslinger as Airazor or Leobreaker as Razorclaw, the people up at the panel kind of looked at each other, and Brian said that they couldn't comment on "unproduced exclusives". Given that Razorclaw was said later to just be a custom on display later in the dealer room, and that it would only be produced if there was enough demand for it, there was no such admission about Airazor.
    - Razorclaw was later in the display case in the dealer room as the aforementioned custom, but Airazorslinger was noticeably absent, even though some of the 'bots that were only in the comic for a panel or two, like the "Unit 1" Clocker repaint, and the post-BM Predacons, were there.

    EDIT: Oh, and I was talking to Ben Yee at the Con and he showed me some of the inked pictures for the Astrotrain illustrated story-- just wait'll you guys see Cannonball's ship, it's frigging AWESOME. (And yes, it has the graffiti designs on it.)
