..What would it be based on and what would some of the figures be repaints/remoldings of? The only rules for this are: It only contains figures from Armada, Energon, Cybertron, Classics, and Classics/Universe 2.0. But it may use any molds from those lines, even if it's already been used in an official Botcon.
Always a fun thread. How about a Missing Members Of The Ark? Those of the original 18 Autobots (and however many Decepticons) that didn't get the CHUG treatment (so Jazz, Windcharger, Reflector are covered by Generations). Trailbreaker - black with red and yellow deco repaint (and new head) of the Classics Inferno mold (even has the nozzle hand, already) Hauler - (Cybertron) Mudflap, instead of the Classics Inferno / HFTD Grapple, just to be different Wheeljack - yeah, not sure if I can think of a mold from AEC that'd work... Brawn - apparently there was a repaint and retool planned for the OFTCC 2005 convention but, actually, I'd go for a repaint of Hot Shot (Armada or Classics 2) Gears - Cannonball / Red Alert (AEC), maybe a little head re-tool and a splash of blue, grey and red paint Huffer - Armada Optimus Prime (deluxe) repaint Then maybe some Seeker repaints? A lavendar one? Or... The missing Transformers Animated crew? This'd be a bit of a strain, probably make a bunch of bots that fall between CHUG and TFA, and would need vicious head re-tooling, but... Warpath - Any tank mold you like unless I can have the 2007 movie mold for Warpath, please? Scrapper - Energon Bonecrusher. Or Landmine. Either works for me Mixmaster - Deomlishor, the dump truck one, would need the skip / backpack replaced with a concrete mixing barrel but essentially transforms the same way and is suitably stocky Slipstream - Probably Energon Starscream Wasp - Cybertron Bumblebee from Generations, does that count? If not, AEC Blurr, kibbly but the head could be a repaint, not a retool
The Go-Bots Guardians Leader-1 - Classics Starscream with remolded head Turbo - Energon Downshift Scooter - Cybertron High Wire Renegades Cy-kill - Cybertron Ransack Cop-Tur - Cybertron Buzzsaw We already have a Crasher homage from the first movie line.
Universe 2.0 Sunstreaker with a retooled head (see customs gallery for basic premise). I think a "Missing G1 Crew" is one of the things almost everyone wants as it is, though I was thinking of perhaps a Shattered Glass: Beast Wars set. I know that I'm technically breaking the "Only AEC/CHUG" rule, but there's really no other way to do this Box Set Evil Maximals Optimus Primal - Use the TRU two-pack version. Keep the gorilla mode black, but turn one eye red and make the other one yellow with a jagged scar going across it. Robot mode; white portions turned purple, red portions turned yellow. Add another slash mark across the chestplate. Head should be black with the split faceplate being dark grey (keep the red eyes). Cheetor - Spots. Give him a leopard color scheme (character issues because he hates the mismatch). Make all blue robot mode parts a dark blue with yellow scratch marks. Red eyes. Rhinox - I realize this technically happened in the series, but I think giving the original mold a silver chestplate instead of gold would just be a ripoff. Dark grey beast mode instead of tan, make all of the gold-ish colored parts silver, and then turn every green portion red. Turn the eyes white too. Box Set Heroic Predacons Scorponok - Tan beast mode with dark brown legs and a black stinger. Beast mode eyes would be green. Red portions in the robot mode would be dark grey. Silver interior head same as the original, but make the mouth portion of it blue. Eye visor = green. Terrorsaur - Blue/white/grey blended color for beast mode. Turn all black parts in the robot mode silver and give him a dark blue head with white face. Non-box set exclusive 1 - Megatron. Red/grey beast mode with the black portions of the interior being blue. Keep the head silver and make the face a dark blue. Give it gold eyes instead of red. Non-box set exclusive 2 - Silverbolt. black beast mode with silver replacing the gold accents. Red eyes. Robot mode; turn the red circle in the chestplate green, turn the black parts gold, and turn the robot mode eyes red as well.

LOVE this idea. I've always wanted a Diaclone/Microchange set: - Blue Classics Prime (would sell bonkers because of the DIA Commander set) - Red Clasics Mirage - Blue/Silver Classics Bluestreak - Black Classics Ratchet - Police Classics Sunstreaker - Black Classics Sideswipe - Black Classics Megatron
Headmasters Animated. Squeezeplay with a Lugnut Sculpt. Cromedome with a Hot Rod Sculpt. Brainstorm with a Animated Starscream Sculpt. Skullgrinder and Mindwipe with a Soundwave and Ratbat Sculpt. And Fort Max with a Ultra Magnus Sculpt.
Botcon kup because I don't own one but like to. Earth mode car primal he will be classics prime in primal colors. Tfa hot shot he will be in his armada mold but with a new head sculp and more animated colors. Tfa young ultra Magnus he will be the white repaint of voyager prime. Tfa cliff. You know just a red bee.
Here's an idea I've been kicking around... Dawn of Futures Yet to Come When the Predacon Tripredacus Council learned the fate of their agent RAVAGE, they decided to retrieve his remains themselves and underwent an experimental procedure that bonded them into one monstrous, terrifying creature. But eavesdropping on their dark plan, the ancient, celebrated Autobot warrior GRIMLOCK resolved to stow away on their ship and foil them by any means necessary! Sabotaging their transwarp drive and causing them to travel back in time to the year 2025 A.D., Grimlock finds himself under attack from two fronts: TRIPREDACUS himself and his sadistic hound RETRAX, and the Autobots led by METALHAWK charged with protecting this era from Decepticon threats, of which they think he is one! Not to mention the fact that Ravage himself has been on line for a long, long, LONG time… Boxset Figure #1: Metalhawk redecoed from Universe 2.0 Silverbolt with a new head sculpt Boxset Figure #2: Joyride redecoed from Energon Cliffjumper Boxset Figure #3: Grimlock redecoed from Universe 2.0 Dinobot with a new head sculpt Boxset Figure #4: Ravage redecoed from Universe 2.0 Cheetor with a new head sculpt Boxset Figure #5: Retrax redecoed from Cybertron Unicron Souvenir Set #1: Tripredacus redecoed from Cybertron Scourge with a new head sculpt and Dinobot Swoop redecoed from Cybertron Brimstone Souvenir Set #2: Soundblaster redecoed from Cybertron Soundwave and Artfire redecoed from Energon Inferno Free Figure: Machine Wars Hoist redecoed from Energon Roadblock
If I were to make a Botcon set, it would be Classics molds heavy. Boxset Timelines: Aerial Assault! (Couldn't think of anything else.) Tailwind (Repainted Classics Powerglide) Sunstorm (Repainted Seeker) Air Raid (Repainted Seeker) Triggerhappy w/TM Blowpipe (Repainted Cyclonus w/retooled head) Action Master Thundercracker (Repainted Seeker) Souvenir Set 1 Artfire (Repainted Universe Inferno) Shattered Glass Hound w/Howlback (Repainted Classics Hound/w ravage) Souvenir Set 2 Railspike (Repainted Classics Astrotrain) Rapid Run (Repainted Classics Astrotrain) Midnight Express (Repainted Classics Astrotrain) Free Figure Tigatron (Repainted Drift)
I would love to see a G1 Prime or Classics Prime painted in movie colors, but pin striping is a must.

However New Evil is Unleashed as the Strategic SLIPSTREAM, the Wrathful BLACKOUT, The Brutal TANKOR, The Mysterious SKY SHADOW, and the Mad scientist SCALPEL.

Not with the rules stippulated, for the first two, but the third does. Transtech Optimus Prime - Animated Cybertron mode Prime - Armada Deluxe Prime head Cheetor - Animated Blurr, new head Tigatron - Animated Blurr, new head Arcee - Animated Arcee, new lower arms, and head Shockwave - Animated Lockdown, new neck, head and upper arm guards Cy-Kill - Animated Oilslick, new head Animated Remnants Blackout - The Voyager Mold Brawn - Animated Soundwave, new head Autotrooper - Cybertron Ratchet, new head Wingsaber Prime - The voyager Prime with wings and stuff Beast Wars Remnants Tigatron - Universe 2.0 Cheetor Ravage - The BW TM cheetor remold Giant Unicron head storage case that has (sentinel like removable) tendril spots to reenact the infamous BW primal scene with a smaller unicron (repainted primus exclusive head) head inside. Hey technicly it is a remolded head! Smaller amounts of con figures, because of the raised costs of the changes.
A retread from ome I posted on the club forums...but one I'm particularly proud of...This would be specifically for a Botcon Chicago and have a Goodfellas vibe to it....but instead of Autobots they get to protect their turf from the Yakuza... BOX SET CRYOTEK (blue & transparent blue WFC Megatron - new head) The mob boss and his main 2 thugs... BULKHEAD (Black animated Bulkhead) CROSSBLADES (Blue animated Blackout) vs Yakuza BLACK SHADOW (WFC Optimus - new head) Yakuza ROADGRABBER (Purple Drift - new head) Attendee exclusive Yakuza NIGHTBIRD (Black Animated Arcee) Attendee set 1 SWINDLE (WFC Soundwave) Yakuza EAGLE EYE (HFD Terradive) Attendee set 2 LANDFILL (Animated Wreck Gar - new head) Think "sanitation union guy" Yakuza WINDRAZOR (Laser Cycle Road Rocket) TROOP BUILDER Red Yakuza DRIFT NINJAS (red with large black dragon deco's esch with different head...Drift, Blurr and the new Roadgrabber one, just to keep them individual)
