I only really like the second one there. As they've said its possibly Paradron Medic.

That black on is NICE!

I like the black version as well, although the weapons don't look being made from purple plastic, maybe red or orange instead?

one is maybe Botcon Chromia, the green one is obvious and then the third?

but I will buy all

Well, if it's a Chromia...I want one.:-)

Oh well, it was only a matter of time, I guess.

Fallback had been announced by the Club website before, and all the evidence is pointing towards the Cyberjet being Ricochet from the BotCon seven-pack.

I wonder if that's what the Arcee repaints are going to be as well. Not nessisarilly from the 7 pack but perhaps some of those to be purchased at the convention. I'll bet that the back one is Firestar, and the red one is Elita-1.

And, while the Cyberjet looks nice, I'm pretty sure I'd never pay $35USD for it.

This is three basic repaints so far and on a bad day say $10 USD each, we're looking for an average toy cost for the other 4 of $53.75USD. That's what, Leader or Supreme sized? 4 of them?

only Sidecutter is hinting at Ricochet for the cyberjet, the name evokes more a Jazz-like repaint to me (like Ricochet reissue)

so, the cyberjet is one of the botcon figures?
does anyone know more about this set?

maybe the one will be wreck-gar

Yeah. I really wish I was wrong about these people being crooks. Something tells me that we're going to see a whole bunch of lawsuits from people, who registered for Botcon before they knew what they were getting, demanding at least a partial refund.

hey, why did you remove my links?

The Ironhide and Ratchet are immediately what I thought of when I first saw the Towline figure. A funny looking van with a really bad robot mode!

Oddly enough, it works for those two... But I'm sick of repaints.

I don't like to make it too easy for the proto thieves. If people want to buy stolen protos, they know where to look for them, but there's no reason to make it too easy for them.

Darth Zax · Post by **Darth Zax** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 4:43 pm

is there any confirmation that one of these is going to be in the 7-pack? too bad i can't buy the 7-pack, if i could, i would.
