Voyager Lugnut, you say? Well, it was only a matter of time before they started making more Bayformers versions of Animated characters after Lockdown. Hopefully it'll be a new mold and not a repaint of Voyager Stratosphere as some here have already suggested. Now all we need is Bulkhead, Oil Slick, and Sentinel Prime.

Banzai-Tron also sounds quite interesting. Though there's the possibility, as some have already suggested, that it's a repaint of Voyager Bludgeon.

 

I think Skullgrin would've been a more appropriate repaint for the Voyager Bludgeon mold.

 

Lugnut-as-repaint is far and away the most believable theory. After how poorly he sold throughout Animated, I REALLY don't think they're going to try a new mold.

 

Lots of intriguing names fo sho, hope the likes of Banzaitron will be something I actually want. Or not, at least the ol' bank account would be better off.

 

My reaction as well. I'm curious to see how he turns out, and how they'd repaint the Bludgeon mold if that turns out to be the case, but Botcon Banzai-tron is going to be hard to top for me. A new mold might do it, but a Bludgeon repaint? Nope.

Add me to those excited for a movieverse Lugnut. I, too, hope for a new mold on that one.

 

Well like we knew about figures like ROTF Lockdown from the Walmart system for months before they were revealed at last years Botcon, but there were no pics until Botcon. So maybe all the surprises aren't spoiled yet.

 

Just to add to speculation, what if this Banzaitron is actually a repaint of last year's Botcon version?

 

Uh.........no.

 

Totally psyched for Rescue Ratchet. The rest can go to hell.

 

Voyagers Banzitron, Strafe, Lugnut and Grapple interest me the most. Hopefully, Botcon will shed some light on these guys.

 

I would actually LIKE to think that Grapple is a remold/repaint of Universe Inferno, but since it doesn't fit in at all with the movie aesthetic I'm having trouble believing that this will be the case.

Other than that, a LOT of potential repaints in the list. Lugnut is probably a repaint of Stratosphere, Strafe = Mindwipe, Banzaitron = Bludgeon, etc. etc.

 

cant wait 4 those scouts.

 

You guys better hope that Movie Lugnut doesn't actually mention the P.O.K.E. on his packaging, because if it does I will just die.

And I could see Banzaitron working as a repaint of Bludgeon-- provided they give him a new head. The skull-samurai-head is way too "Bludgeon" to pass as anyone else.

 

I doubt it. These all seem like Movie-verse figures to me... :/

I wish the first of the Generations figs could get a move-on... *wishful thinking*

 

Some interesting stuff here.

If Lugnut is in fact a new "movie" take on the TFA character, then that could turn out pretty cool. Though that would still make him a short Voyager. lol Poor Lug.
I wouldn't actually be too surprised if Banzi ends up being a Bludgeon redeco. I can actually see how that'd work fairly well.

Grapple has me intrigued. If it's a retool of the Uni/classics mold, then that's cool. If it's a new mold, then that's awesome.

New scouts are always nice to hear.

SCOUT OIL PAN - A tanker truck, maybe?
SCOUT FIRETRAP - Firetruck?
SCOUT SUNSPOT - A space shuttle, perhaps?

Deluxes:

TRA DLX TOMAHAWK - For some reason this name made me picture an Apache helicopter.
TRA DLX TERRADIVE - Submarine?

 

I like the thought of Sunspot as a space shuttle.

Random guesses:
Oil Pan = Brimstone repaint
Terradive = GI Joe Mole Pod (crossovers 4 teh winz)

 

Oh you know what, that actually does make a lot more sense then my guess, given the name "Terra"-dive.

Maybe Oil pan is a Decepticon redeco of Hubcap?

 

Lugnut has my interest.... I hope they make him bigger than his current Animated toy

 

names i saw that interested me were banzi-tron, lugnut, strafe *awesome name* and tomahawk. *wicked name* this should be interesting.
