Can anyone explain to me what they do with Punch/Counterpunch's hands? Do you have to take them out and swap them when you switch between characters? I don't have Classics Sideswipe or Sunstreaker, so I'm not clear on the transformation of the figure.

For P/CP, you'll need to swap the hands into the fore-arms. This isn't too hard, as they can pop out, but a smidge annoying.

Ye gods that was painful at points, though some bits were amusing. I did like Starscream preppign for the con with a Nekohat, though. :P

In other news, Rapido's full robot mode has finally leaked:

I liked the promo. People wearing cats on their heads, or cat ears/animal ears/tails/legs/noses etc to a function that isn't Halloween-related need a good swift kick in the rear, Imo. Unless it's like an old racooon skin hat or something.

I don't mind anime-fans doing anime-things and anime-cons... it's when the show up at Ren Faire as Sephiroth that I want to show them what a claymore would really do! (And I'm not talking about the Scottish kind!)

I agree with that, though I personally have never seen someone dressed as anything but something Ren-Faireish at a Ren Faire. Mind, the closest I've gotten to one is a glance as we passed by in the car, so who knows. There might have been someone in a Quatchi suit prancing around inside for all I know.

... I want a Quatchi. Like, a real one. I would give it hugs!

But yes- er, promo okay. IMO.

BotCon 2010 Ebay Auction reveals two new figures (well, one figure and an accessory, I guess.)

Turbomaster Scorch and Shattered Glass Ravage

Oddly, Scorch's flame app appears to be inverted, as if the engine block was exploding...
