Cool art. But Metalhawk–still weird.

Do they ever make 3-rd party heads for botcon figures?
Soundwave would be cool if it didnt have that ugly long head

What's the price on this piece?

The artwork of the box look awesome
Prowl 2009
That's some NICE box art!

Awesome Pete. Hopefully it looks as good as I'm hoping. On a side note, what's the chance of getting previous Botcon box covers as prints?

Metalhawk's head crest must be red!
It's unfortunate that both Overlord's and Metalhawk's feet look off even in the art.

As for the Heroic bot's fighting the Heroic Cons…wouldn't a heroic Autobot see any decepticon symbol as an enemy, and vice versa…they will figure it out when they stop to finally talk.
Pete Sync
You know. That WOULD look good as a print… And you have to wonder if there are not a whole bunch of other robots "off screen"…

That art really makes it look like there's all out war going on. I dig it. I'm not really into keeping the boxes anymore (gonna sell 07,09 & 10 probably) but I do like the art. I'd possibly buy a print of it.
And Evil Tracks is there with Heroic Tracks flying in the background! That totally makes me hope they run into each other in the comic.
Edit: one thing I wish FP would do is release the box art as it's own print. I know we usually get two new prints with brand new art, but the boxes always have great art and I feel prints would be a great idea.

I really like the artwork for the set. The set itself is still not for me, but great job on the packaging!

I would think the Decepticons would be against everyone that's not an evil Decepticon, it's just their way.

I think the idea of the set is not so bad and can be a culmination of the SG universe that they have been developing for the last few years, but the execution of some of the character designs is what pushing these to a lower tier set. Having all those other characters in the back and revisiting the classics universe with SG wasn't such a bad idea but the molds selection and color design is a little lacking. I wonder why that was the case this year as in year's past the design do have some high points.

I see SG Galvatron's arm/winch all the way on the right/top.
YoungPrime
Not a single one of interest!
Your little brother Funpub may have swayed me with their evil powers but this pile of Z-listers does nothing.
Thank you Botcon.

I feel the layout of the image could've better, but it's not that bad. Does it look like there are any of the attendee figs there n the backgrund?
SwineTrekkie
It looks to be one big mixed battle. It isn't one side of the box versus the other. Each pair is good versus bad.

Maybe I just don't really care about shattered glass, but shouldn't the decepticon's be fighting on the same side as the evil autobots?
The image kinda confuses me.
