Just got my issue in the mail today and I truly can not wrap my mine around what Brian's letter said. I mean really come on man we know where and when it is ,just about everyone knows its on the Pasadena web site along with the dates. But they want to use this sad excuse that they need to rewrite there web site.....what the hell is wrong with it if EVERY year you have to do this come on man get a upgrade from the 90's. Also stop making ppl wait to make plans for your guys "BLOW-OUT" as Brian said.

 

So that SG Predacon lineup is 4 existing toys, and 2 possible recolors. Anyone else betting the next Botcon or Subscription service will have SG Waspinator from the Generations Waspinator and SG Megatron from the 10th Anniversary Megatron toys as exclusives?

What would the SG Predacon personalities be anyways?

My guess:

SG Megatron - Honorable captain in the Predacon exploration fleet. Says "No." a lot.
SG Scorponok - Science officer, a gentle soul.
SG Terrorsaur - Incredibly loyal, has a soft voice.
SG Waspinator - Proud of the fact the he always comed out on top in battle without a scratch!
SG Dinobot - Strongly believes the ends justifies the means. Thinks Megatron is too distracted with honor and doing what's right.

 

whats up with that sg predacon thing? any images or something?

 

The SG Beast Wars Predacons appeared on the last page of the comic, but the rules on this board prohibit us from posting those images.

 

oh right, but are they toy repaints or just the design?

 

They appeared in art form in one frame of the comic, but as mentioned, four of them are based on existing toys, the other two are existing toy molds recolored into colors those toys have not been released in (yet).

Existing toys:
SG Scorponok is the old Botcon '99 Sandstorm toy.


SG Terrorsaur is the Beast Wars Lazorbeak toy.


SG Tarantulas is the Fox Kids recolor Transmetal Tarantulas toy.


SG Dinobot is the Universe Deluxe Dinobot toy.


Recolors that don't exist:
SG Megatron is the 10th Anniversary Beast Wars Deluxe Megatron toy in black, white and red.
SG Waspinator is the Waspinator toy in the colors of Cheetor (sorta close to Fox Kids Waspinator or Beast Wars Buzzsaw, but not identical).

 

I'm surprised you're still a member since you've got a picture of Swindle with a hand of credit cards.

 

Remember that FOC Grimlock with BW Megatron head? We always assumed thay was a Generations toy - what if it was a Botcon 2014 testshot?

Could be a Shattered Glass Dawn of Futures Past kind of thing...

 

Oh I hope so, that would a very cool set that I wouldn't feel bad about skipping.

 

But that's not the toy that appeared in the comic, it's the Deluxe Megatron 10th anniversary Beast Wars toy.

It was this toy:



In these colors:



Given that 4 of the toys from this scene already exist (3 are even common and cheap to own!), they could produce the two other deluxes for a Botcon 2 pack. They could even use the Generations Waspinator for the SG Waspinator.

 

Has anyone in the United Kingdom recieved their copy of issue 54 yet? I only thought about it this morning as I had expected it about now.
