    This is not a spoiler so much as a guess based on the club comic, but it looks like that is going to be
    SG Optimus Prime after Unicron upgrades him
    .

    No one wants that, right? I mean, the club hasn't producted many
    Shattered Glass
    exclusives or anything like that....

    Awesome, awesome accessories! Though I suppose that's only for the class and not included in the assembled figures?

    will it be available outside of the class? i know the last two were, but sales were kinda bad. it makes me wonder if they'll bother.


    also, it'd be nice if Reprolabels would make stickers sets for the preassembled figures

    If one of the club figures had been this instead of either of the uses of this mold I'd likely have joined to get it. I'll probably track one down after "Botcon hype week" prices fade a bit (or if someone wants to hook me up :p  )

    This is a perfect custom class figure idea though. A piece that isn't nostalgic to 99% of the fandom...it's not like all but few dozen owned an original so the fan rage should really be non existent (polar opposite of G2 Sideswipe)

    The only grip I might have is that I thought we heard there are 3 spots in the box for the boxed release of the mold and if the figure is also pictured on the box that seems like a bit of a bad move since most wont have a complete set in their boxes...

    I take back my earlier comment. That's actually pretty nice looking.

    Also I plead ignorance, I had no idea that LD Galva Convoy even existed before today.

    I want to see this in alt mode. I just don't think I can pursue this at the expected price point.

    I thought last year's figure sold well.

    EDIT: Yep, last year's Primal Prime sold out at the convention.

    Well, I hope that $75 I paid for an assembled version is going towards something ;)

    I like the colors and I like that mold but that head aint the clubs finest work. If it is easy to come by like that yellow Warpath from two years ago I'll get him online.

    Sounds like the accessories are fan-made items just for the class attendees.

    Yeah, it's not uncommon for the custom class figures to include extra parts that have basically been 'home-made'. 2011 Minerva had resin antennae, 2012 Longarm had the resin Shockwave head and gun, 2013 Blastcharge had a flag pole...

    The pre-assembled figures are bagged direct from the factory, so don't come with any of the extra parts.
