As early BotCon goers begin to pick up their Primus packages we’ve received word from social media outlets that the freebie figure is Flamewar, which we’ve seen rumored previously.
We’re also starting to hear word of more at-show exclusives. If you also look at the comic cover in the attached image we can see what appears to be Apelinq (top left) and Flareup (bottom left).
Keep it locked here on TFW as more news and confirmations trickle in.

Last year's didn't sell out, and was mostly reviled. More so than this year's.

i did the pre-order thing on it…but i won't have the $$$ until july 14th….they have the box sets listed as getting in stock in august….
So i am hoping they (FP) take their time getting the botcon stock to BBTS …

BBTS is still selling last year's box set, so you probably have no problem getting it.

i got lucky and got cannonball, the targetmaster ferak tf and flamewar off ebay.
cost $50 for cannonball, $50 for the targetmaster ferak tf
and $103 for flamewar.
And i am hoping i can get a boxed set off BBTS next month when they arrive in stock.

Flamewar is an attendee freebie again? Great, so it'll be tougher/pricier to get second-hand than others.

Botcon 2013 Transformers Exclusive Machine Wars Starscream Attendee Exclusive, Toyarena
^^ ^^
and here is a link for the botcon 2013 freebie figure….machine wars starscream
the more popular the more it usually goes for….flamewar will be high on the want factor….since tons of folks never got the original one….

damn that sucks… we got flamewars twice now but both are botcon exclusive…
flatline72
if you attend…you get one freebie tf per boxset purchased.
Non attending orders do not get the freebie figure.
flatline72
yes, but in very limited #'s plus it will probably be well over $150 if they get any to sell.

Can anyone explain to me how the freebie works? Every Botcon attendee gets one, or just the people who ordered the Botcon giftset?

OMG flamewars, i want this.. do BBTS normally sell botcon freebie figure?

FYI it's Brimstone, not Sixshot. He's named in the comic and I spoke with Pete briefly on the way out of the pickup line. Makes sense, he's one of the Star Seekers from the novel who was in Thundertron's crew.

What makes you say that?

Looks like Flare-Up may be hard to come by

Hazarding a guess, I'm assuming it's a toy photography homage to the 1984 catalog or something.

I'm surprised the 3 pack wasn't apelinq, shockract. And flamewar together since they are all Botcon redux figures
dardmc
if this will be the sets.. hoping that the pirate 2 pack will not sold out and later be available at tfcc store..
Peaugh
Nuts. I was desperately hoping they'd have Apelinq and Shokaract together.
