    Nice man. That's a better photo than the one you sent me earlier. I need to dust off my nexus prime. He's fun.

    Yay! A new thread to lurk & photobomb!
    Let's not forget about pre-FunPub Botcon items, though!

    And then there's FunPub's awesome pre-FunPub homages :D

    Even though the original wasn't a Botcon exclusive, he shares the shelf with his comrades of fiction! But another glorious update!
    [​IMG]

    And the newest editions. LOVED this year's set overall.

    Then there's stuff that didn't quite make it to the club store at the convention... Like sticker sheets!!

    Probably my favorite group of bad guys... Can't wait for Tarantulas!

    And Astrotrain (Jack Angel autograph sold separately) is a bit more recent for my collection. Really enjoy fiddling with him.

    Awesome! Where'd you get the stickers for the microns? I really love those Japanese Botcon beast wars figures. Always things I wanted to get but never did.

    One of the volunteers had a fat stack of them and I happened to be in the right place at the right time :lol 
    I'm still trying to find some contact info for the guy.
    And all I need is the Japanese Double Punch.

    Love it!
    I may go for the 2010 set after I make the plunge on the 08 stuff.

    Ah... hm. Where in the box were Devcon's guns supposed to be? I think mine is missing them - they aren't in the foam or hidden in the wing flaps...

    Uhh..boy did Devcon's face sculpt turn out rather bad.. I swear, if there's one thing FB cant seem to get right is the consistent humanoid face-sculpts they design from test shots to the final products. Derp-faced Metalhawk comes to mind... :lol

    Another solid set overall that can barely fit all on the same shelf :lol

    I don't usually buy exclusives, but Waspinator is my favorite TF character and Beast Machines is my favorite series. This one was a no-brainier!

    Mine is fine. The only issue I had was the insect legs installed backwards. Easy fix, though.

    Ah. I'm just paranoid. My MW set came with two missiles for Strika and only one for Skywarp...
