    Oh shit, I may actually want these. Damn my love for obscure gimmick characters!

    So we're getting one less figure this year? Two pack instead of a three pack?

    That kinda sucks. I hope the price reflects that...

    If they both come with Micron partners then i would bet the price will be the same as the troop builder set last botcon.

    I get that, but I'd prefer it being a two pack if there's a reason for it. Who exactly would you stick with Pounce and Wingspan anyway?

    Doesn't work for those two. Stretching ideas too far just to peddle a large amount of product.

    This sounds pretty cool. Need to see pics of course, but this sounds like the coolest of the souvenir sets thus far.

    As I read the now-confirmed list (from those who now have the comic), the number is still the same overall. The Knights pack is a 3-pack.

    The clones are still the closest thing to a troopbuilder, if you want to use that term, though.

    Maybe they should have just made them into Fastlane and Cloudraker instead....

    Yeah, I didn't know that last night.

    They have similar heads to Pounce and Wingspan, so it's entirely possible to revisit them as the Autobot clones in the TFSS or even one as a freebie and the other sold individually like Transmutate with a box that fits both.

    I hope they do that, at least... We should find out this weekend what the 2015 club plans are...

    You will see why it makes sense if you've ever tried standing a Vehicon on all 4s

    I get where that's coming from, seeing as the altmodes fit those guys better...but the Vehicon molds are really, unmistakably, Decepticons with their pointy edges and creepy fingers.

    Not that I'm going to get these anyway, but personally I think this is the better option.

    (The best option would still be entirely accurate Starscream Armada Vehicons, but ok :lol  )
