ROSWELL
ALLEGIANCE: Heroic Gobits
FUNCTION: Warrior / Communications
“I am not trying to prove I am better then you, I am trying to prove I am just as good!”
Profile: Originally a beautiful humanoid, when the Terrorist Gobits nearly destroyed their planet, she was forced to take on the form of a robotic space craft to aid in the war against BIKEMURDER. As the battles raged on, she became a seasoned warrior and trusted solider, so much so that in the absence of CAPTAIN-1 and TURBOLAG, she is left to command the whole Good Gobit army. In a recent mission; ROSWELL and a skeleton crew of bots, tried to find a solution to their home world and universe being wiped out by an unknown cosmic factor; it resulted in ROSWELL having to change her robotic form to match that of the local esthetic in a strange new dimension where everything was “More Than Meets the Eye”. Thanks to the Modifier, a machine from her home universe, she has finally achieved a design, color and body that she is somewhat pleased with, but even ROSWELL feels it could be better.
Abilities: Like all other Gobits, she has the standards of robot mode flight and high powered laser based pulse blasts from her fists. Unique to her design is that in UFO mode she is capable of light speed travel. Armed with her Path Cannon she can fire a short range blast that emits small sized black holes. ROSWELL is always looking to upgrade her weaponry to keep up with the ongoing conflict.
Weaknesses: She always drives to be better and thus some of her teammates feel she pushes herself to the point of exhaustion. She also can be a little vain sometimes, as she used to be a very curvaceous and beautiful humanoid and is not pleased with her more current blocky robot body.

Picked up the roswell and van guardian toys yesterday, these are sweet!
MrBlud
Very interested in knowing this too as I'm trying to budget and that's a fairly big hole in the figures

Also, when you just start calling yourself one long enough that everyone acknowledges it.

When you host 300+ podcasts, be a guest on other people's podcasts, created 500+ YouTube videos, and manage to get yourself acknowledged as a fan created character created by a TF series creator.
Plus having a quirky personality on the internet that's really a reflection of one's real life self ought to help along with creating that title.

How does one become an "Internet Personality"?

how much are the Mech Ideas figures going to be at the show?
hardreturn
the third. retail box – open – paint/customize
Scaleface
I'm hoping that there are more exclusives or semi-exclusives. Perhaps something from KFC or Headrobots. If we could get some version of Iguana as Toxin's cousin it would make my day.

Well, there's still the custom class figure to be revealed.
TFCon veterans, how is the custom class there run? Figure off of sprues like BotCon's official class (Minerva, Cobybot/Inferno), new head and detailing on a stock figure like Auto Assembly (Marlboor, etc), or assembled variant figure that you then kitbash (Encline/MechIdeas 3rd party custom class)?
Protoman
Oh stay tuned.
Torque
With the reveal of Pathfinder and Van Guard I'm already hyped-why, is there more?
Protoman
Get hyped.

Is anyone going who would be willing to pick up a set for me, please? (Even just Van Guardian?)
Please PM me. Thanks!
