Omegus Prime:
Uh, gotta cry foul on this one without sources, picture, or proof of any kind... not to mention the complete randomness of the colors and molds that make no sense.

Really? Because I heard the set was going to include voyager animated cybertron optimus prime painted hot pink, cal-trans orange, with brown highlights. My friend told me that.
dlatkow:
I may be crazy but I have a hunch it may be legit. Who knows, only time will tell. I'm usually wrong about these things anyways....lol
cbff:
Could be legit. I find it interesting that this person only recently joined (on the surface, for the sole purpose of posting this). Also that his grammar is somewhat terrible and that he has Convoy as his favorite on his profile.

So it is POSSIBLE that he is from Asia and has a connection at the factory, but very unlikely.
Depthcharge:
Well..... no sources / pictures means nobody has to believe it, though it doesn't mean he's lying either so play nice until we know for sure.

I would like to point out that a classics prime in black and purple smells of a Menasor or Motormaster repaint which is totally Hasbros M.O.

Nah...not a chance in hell it's legit. Just look at Brawl and all the "inside info" regarding who is/isn't in the game. And also notice how on forums dedicated to such discussion...the vast vast majority of the people making such claims are new accounts.

Not that you'd believe someone like me if I came up and said the Botcon Classics Prime was going to be painted like Turbomaster Thunderclash because a friend told me.
Lumpy:
well, the mold choices all seem like they are too big also....most exclusives dont have that many molds of that size....
Ktulu:
We'll see. "My friend said...." stories from new members are almost always false though

One voyager and four deluxes doesn't seem too odd to me.

I know I shouldn't be expecting repaints of the movie or animated toys, but thinking of seeing classics and Cybertron exclusives at Botcon isn't all that appealing...

Last year's had 4 deluxes and 1 voyager. According to this guys CLAIM, there would be 3 deluxes and 2 voyagers.

So it's not that much of a stretch. Plus, to be fair, Classics Prime is a small voyager.

So I wouldn't say rule it out based on what he said, but I'm also not saying that you should accept what he said as truth either.

I'm ordering 2 sets! I'm so glad "your friend"confided this secret info to you. I just can not wait to see them in person!

Something is afoot at the Circle K.

Not the most unlikely guesses...but this being the Internet, I'm inclined to disbelieve. Oh, and Goldbug, not Bumblebee? That strikes me as strange, considering the other choices.
Ravenxl7:
They do sound interesting, but, seem a bit odd. I'm going to wait for some official news (wether it be pictures or not) to see what the exclusives will be.
Counterpunch?:
Hilarity will ensue if this is correct.

Yeah, three of them we know so far, but if the Grimlock is true, what's the story with a black Grimlock?

Baby Trypticon?
T16skyhopp:
i want a proper classics jazz at retail. crap crosswise retool would make me sad.
Super_Megatron:
Knock off the flaming and insulting people. Just because you don't agree with something someone posts it doesn't give you right to disrespect them.
Vector Sigma:
Well if thats the set, no sir, i don't like it...
Soundwave84:
eh i dont know if i believe that one!

G1Prowl:
I'd have a feeling that the Black OP is gonna be Nemesis Prime, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the black Grimlock wound up being Doomlok or whatever that thing was called from Cybertron. What I'm wondering is why don't they do a head remold for Classics Bumblebee to make him look MORE like Cliffjumper? Honestly, I think people would jump at this...
Fosterlager:
I'm not going to fetch NEARLY as much for this as I did the Seeker set.
Liege Prime:
Somehow this seems true. I have no idea why. I will say that if it IS true that it is yet another botcon set I can pass on. I really don't like the idea of paying premium prices for an exclusive collector's set, but I won't rule out the possibility of something being amazing enough for me to break down and get it.

EDIT: Oh, actually I think the only reason I think this is true is that it's really the first time I have heard about it. I think last years, the first thing I heard was someone saying it will be the Seekers, way before confirmation, and that was true. So, it just seems like the first thing you hear is what happens.
Optimus747:
Nah, it's a set of seven Wheelies, each in a color of the rainbow.
Source: my grandma.
SCPrime:
Well, according to that Botcon pic with Classics Prime in front, the OP got a few of the molds right if that pic is any indication of what the Botcon molds would be. Also, FunPub was saying how the TF world would be turned upside down this year which leads me to believe that either it’s a reversed world where Bots are bad and Cons are good (which explains some of the dark coloring of the Bots the OP described) or that some of the Bots are now bad for some reason (like Nemesis style which again also explains the darker coloring described). I have a feeling the OP is on to something.
SarahMobius:
While I would be incredibly happy with this
GW_Freak:
Wait, wasn't Cybertron Starscream a 50$ Supreme class toy?
Kickback:
Matches up almost 100% with what I've heard!
Cloudraker:
Its not totally out of the realm of possibilities.

He could have some very inside info like say from the production end of things.
He did get the characters right.

Right now as it stands I am only looking forward to the Grimlock, Optimus and Starscream molds.

Its only a short while until they are unveiled officially.

He must be referring to the Galaxy Force/TRU Exclusive Voyager mold.

It was also a Voyager, released in a 2-pack with Vector Prime (TRU exclusive)

Since Kickback's sources are almost always right, this is probably correct. It also means I don't have to buy the set. hooray!
MegaMoonMan:
Sounds like a boring set, happy to pass.

Agreed, I'd be somewhat interested in the Prime and possibly SS toy, but lack of Sunstorm for the second year in a row or Runamuck and Runabout makes me one sad fanboy.
TheSpacebridge:
As I know some of the details of this are correct shouldn't we delete this post out of respect for MC?

Just a thought

In that case, the only one that sounds interesting is Jazz with the Crosswise mold. However, I'll have to actually see pics before judging this set.
