    Awesome :)  I was worried I'd have to try get a non-attendee pack from OtherCon to get the set (of course I'll likely no be able to get the other guy too due to faster other guys)

    You could just end the worrying and sign up for the convention and order it now! lol

    Cool are they Autobots or Decepticons originally ?

    Nice things to have in a Wrecker 'B-Team'.

    It's a great looking exclusive.
    Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year, but already spoken to a friend who wasn't going to get one to pick one up for me. Now to get the other one.

    Great exclusive. Doubt I will be able to get a non-attendee package since I have yet to budget for the original pair of these guys, but I always loved that recolor, and I love exclusive stuff. Way to go all those involved, great exclusive.

    I can't wait to order a non-attendee pack. I lucked out last year and got one with the custom head. The extra goodies were so nice, and a real nice touch. I definately hope I am able to order one in time, I am sure these will go quick.

    Yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would have been stupid enough to think this was an Autobot Clone repaint. Last I checked, Neither Fastlane nor Cloudraker had yellow on them.

    Really? They were? Because I am pretty sure they were created to be Apex and Geminus, and if the company that makes them says, "Hey, these are going to be third party custom-class exclusive our-version Pounce and Wingspan" they're their versions of Pounce and Wingspan too, no matter how much you may want to think otherwise, what the company that made them says, goes, not what you do.

    Oh, and I am pretty sure they're remolded as well. And they, as put in multiple reviews, already have the beast-ish molds built in. As if maybe... they had planned this already. Huh. What do you know...

    Anyone think it isn't fair to attendees that they might not get one when they attend but people that don't attend will get them. Seems everyone who attends should be able to buy one. Enforce the one per person rule (mark the badges of attendees to show they got one) Any leftovers will be sold to non-attendees.

    Wow, always cool to learn of a new obscure TF I've never heard of. This will go nice with Solarbot.

    Can't wait to see the non-attendee pricing, hopefully there is a package with just the figure (though whatever else they have planned may be pretty damn cool as well, or help defray the cost if I don't like it). Really have to think on this if they are making another one for another convention.

    If they are going by the toys (as shown earlier in the thread), the Twintwist version is white & black. At least to me, this one (Topspin) has more interesting colors.

    Whats also worth noting on the vintage packages is Topspin has a white chest in the art but yellow on the toy. The Twintwist has yellow in the art but a white chest. The company could milk these molds 4x. One for toy version & one for artwork version for both characters.

    Maybe they don't want to risk making about 1000 toys that might not be sold in the end, just so every attendee has a chance to get one

    The first lot of orders we are taking are for attendees, then there are orders opening for non-attendees, and then there are a certain amount held back for the show itself so everyone has a chance to buy them. They are limited to one each.

    When Ceno says "while stocks last", that is referring to the second figure being available at AA. The same goes with this figure, the priority for stock is AA, but any left after pre-orders and allocation will hopefully go to the other convention, giving every attendee the best chance we can to buy both figures without jumping through hoops.

    I do hope this means we will see a "Robot Manuel Z" at TFcon this year.
