    Yeah, I know. I corrected myself later on with a not-very-subtle edit, after I read the Katakana on Robot Kingdom. I totally forgot about Swerve being mentioned (and at the time, confused for Swoop) the other day, before we had the listings. But my point is still the same - that they might be doing a..... how should I put it..... some sort of bait and switch (and I know that's extreme, but I don't mean it in a necessarily negative way. I just can't think of a better way to put it, other than saying that Hasbro announced it as Breakdown to avoid spoilers, much like Skyquake and Dreadwing, although they are both getting made anyway).

    Of course, I know that leaders aren't that expensive, but I kinda forgot about the Weaponizers. I thought those were meant to be the Deluxe class ones, but I guess, what, they're meant to be like an Ultra class? That'd make more sense. They're barely more expensive than a Voyager, so it's possible they are Voyagers with extra stuff or, you know, no cheap stickers. Also, the place holder images for every Arms Micron Deluxe is Bumblebee? Thank you for stating what I already said. My point was that the Arms Micron VOYAGERS were using the Powerizer Optimus Prime picture and that Unicron and Megatron had that picture too, which is why I'd be more inclined to say they'll be Voyagers with a lot more extras (e.g. extra Microns, actual paint apps).

    I didn't expect a toy of Unicron. It'll be really interesting to see what it looks like.

    Unicron will transform into the Earth's Core. Or a mound of dirt. In fact, if Unicron could transform into a thin sheet representing the ground, i'd be impressed. I don't think we've ever had a flat-former.

    If Unicron is going to transform into a thin sheet representing the ground,that will be a great breakthrough for the history of Transformers.

    I'd like maybe three of each too, and I base that mainly on the strength of the RiD Vehicon so far.

    If Silas' hopes for MECH had/ somehow still do come true, as in a whole army of (presumably piloted) transformer knockoffs, that could be yet another army builder!

    Given that Weaponizers are somewhat simplified, not going to expect anything at all from Unicron


    ...and still no Micron Arms Wheeljack?

    I'm guessing Unicron will be our Supreme class toy of the line, we always get at least one and it would stand to reason he'd be pretty big.

    Though Supreme for Prime might just mean a little bigger than the leader class.

    So, our list of reveals to expect at Botcon now are:

    Airachnid
    Swerve
    Breakdown
    Ironhide
    Unicron
    Darkness Megatron
    Jet Vehicon
    Kup
    Rumble

    Probably missed some, but those seem to be the ones they'll give an official reveal for.
