    What will it be?

    Botcon teased this tweet yesterday:
    UPDATE: and Cheetor it is! Check it HERE!

    Additionally, from a string of tweets from Derrick J. Wyatt we have a poem from Dead End

    It'll either be the creative team for the comic, or the box. Or maybe, the brochure ahead of registration go-live.

    Cheetor maybe? Seeing as the club site still only has artwork for his bot mode maybe now they have a painted sample.

    An Oil Slick repaint is my guess based on the Twitter post of Mr. Wyatt

    Its the actual toy for the TFCC cheetor. It's not specifically Botcon related or they would have linked to the botcon not the TFCC site.

    The head looks a little odd to me, but I'll still be buying it.

    That head... Looks terrible.

    What the heck, FunPub? Why are all the heads this year so full of fail (*IMHO*)?

    They really dropped the ball on that head. The art for it was incredible, but this... god damn. It's hideous.

    ...Wow. That head is a real failure compared to the brilliant Stunticon head sculpts. Real shame that they didn't go with the hexagonal dots either.

    But they did make them uniform in size and spacing, so it makes for a decent compromise between DJW's original artwork and the more organic vehicle mode they had already shown us.

    The head was a bit of a shock. I guess they had to narrow and/or stretch it from the original art to make it fit. It works though and still has a fairly feline appearance.

    Eh, I'm not feeling that head at all.

    I think it's the eyes. They're either too big, too far back, or both, I'm not too sure. Everything else about it is pretty cool, though.
