    I really think we can rule out of the notion of Blurr as Drag Strip - we're ALREADY getting a club-exclusive yellow Blurr repaint this year!

    Holy hell!! Well dam, I think this will be the first Botcon set that I will really really want and will hopefully be able to get. They are a bit pricey but it's the Stunticons! And Animated! Two of my favorite TF themes in one. Hot dam and holy hell!

    Hmm.. after seeing IDW's Motormaster, I really like your idea of Wreck-Gar being used for MM. A new head or even just a slight retool of WG's head would work great!

    Blurr, I think, should be used for Dragstrip.

    Rodimus has a bit of history as Wild Rider so that works for me

    Breakdown? I guess Lockdown could work but I'm not sure, maybe Arcee or BB?

    Jazz as Dead End looks good already.


    Question for those that have been before: If you're not attending, is it only the box-set that you're able to order or are the other figures also available for non-attendees?

    I think Rodimus would make the best Dragstrip seeing has how he has an actual spoiler.

    Punch/Counterpunch and G2 Breakdown would argue differently.

    Interesting.

    If they're doing the whole gang, I'm thinking:

    Voyager Prime as Motormaster
    Blurr = Drag strip
    Rodimus = Wildrider
    And Breakdown...Out of Jazz again, maybe?

    Alright, when do the tickets go on sale? Doubt I'll be able to make it, but I might as well plan to try. How fast do they sell out usually?

    Kewl, I like the Stunticons, I like Animated...even though there's no way in hell I can get to Botcon, I am very much looking forward to how this set turns out! I have a feeling that the explanation for how the Stunticons share body-types with Autobots will involve cloning.
