    I never guessed Cyclonus would work better than Scourge. I also like Slizardo as the
    Target Master it easily fits in to cannon.

    Oh yeah, my misread, still using Generations Kup as an example of the formula the resulted in Botcon Kup makes me laugh regardless.

    Speak for yourself :)  my first Impactor custom was made in the early 90s and despite being made of dough is still just about alive. RacknRuin got to the design stage too but based on how hard Swoop and Impactor had been never got started.

    When the name and the design are clearly based on a G1 character then I consider the toy an update of the original.

    Shockwave and the seekers for me fall into that category. Prime and Megatron less so and most everything else not at all.

    did anyone else see the tweet that said Botcon 2012 WAS NOT set in the WoH universe? I can't find it from Botcon or the Club twitter account anymore... hmm... maybe someone spoke to soon?

    Wait what? You mean the Botcon comic is not set in the Wings Universe, but the TF Club Magazines' comics will be right?

    edit: ok saw the other post already, yeah Botcon comic won't be Wings

    THAT IS SO SICK!!!

    i agree, that Whirl is so badass... he's actually never had a true update, right? i'd LOVE to see that toy...

    huh... earlier it posted and said it was from today, but maybe that was Twitter just freaking out...

    Energon Ironhide gets a bad rep. The ONLY thing I really hate about the toy is the head sticking out. Other than that he's a cool toy.

    DUDE! Rocklords from the first movie Protoform Starscream and Prime! they're basically rocks anyway... it'd be PERFECT!!!

    i agree, he's fun, and fiddly. not complicated in the slightest, but definitely fun to play with... and i LOVE the energon bots combining ability... lots of fun has been had with that aspect.
