What an exciting 24 hours that was… Transformers Fans worldwide tried to solve the mysterious theme behind this year’s BotCon. Using hints given by Twitter BotCon, everyone had so much fun trying to findout the answer.
Is the Answer Transformers: Animated?
BotCon updated his Twitter page with… “Veloxiraptor at TFW2005 nailed it. Cats out of the bag. Set ≠ expected”
It seems as though 2005 Boards member Veloxiraptor who said ““the figures will be very Animated”, with a capital A. Pretty darn blatant”, got the answer after a fun filled search throughout last day or so.
The tweet was quickly followed by… “BotCon 2011 will feature Transformers Animated…” and… “DerrickJWyatt was instrumental in BotCon 2011 Convention set. Every Animated fan will want this set! More details to come at http://www.botcon.com”
Congratulations Veloxiraptor!

Animated Stunticons CONFIRMED!!
@Botcon: "Note, Derrick only guessed ONE "right", Dead End. The others were all wrong… So, there you have it. Dead End and the other 4 Stunticons."
@DerrickJWyatt : "Just wait until you see MotorMaster… Ohhhhhhh myyyy goddddd…"
HAPPY!

Its not like they haven't reassigned altmodes in animated (prowl is a motorcycle)
Bogatan
I don't know what to make of that. Not what I was expecting and doesn't really help me with what the rest of the set will be.
Is it a full stunticon set? What would Dragstrip and Breakdown be? If its not stunticons then I'm not sure what to expect.
Edit: so it is stunticons. Dragstrip stumps me there aren't that many animated cars.
What about the add ons? Protectorbots?
Valkysas
Nope. From Botcon's twitter.

Interesting. What can be modded into Dragstrip, though…?

Ooooh! Me likey!

Pre registered admission was $15 about 3 times the cost of a g2 figure instore.
Last years boxset was 3.9 times higer than retail versions, that 3.9 drops if you include the add ons. And for that you get a much bigger convention and some of the toys get new heads.
Sure you have to pay a lot more, but its a big event.
And as others have mentioned a lot of us are excited about the convention, the toys are only a portion of the cost.
