Walk-up Late Registration is on Friday morning at 9:30am.

Contact Fun Pub about your registration situation to see what can be done.

Right. I might be able to get there Friday night. Hence the unfortunate question. :-(

It seems general admission is $60 for Saturday, which might be the way to go.

Do they have a direct number to call? All they seem to have is an email.
There is a number given both here and here (at the bottom of the page).

Well, I got their "we're away for Botcon!" message. I guess no one is manning the office at all? They really are a small shop.

I guess an email query is my only recourse for now. Thanks, Sabr.
Sure thing, but, to be frank, with the schedule having been released previously, it's possible you might get a response containing something along the lines of "With the convention in just a couple days from now, you really should have settled this with us sooner."

Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury to plan these things that far ahead of time. The "at a drop of a hat" nature of my work really sucks.

As far as I know, late registration and package pick-up is one process. You register and get your badge/box set (if applicable) all at the same time. For souvies, you're at the mercy of the club store line at that point.

The official Botcon Twitter account has tweeted out an image of the Frank Welker VIP Package art print by Casey Coller with colors by Josh Perez. We've mirrored the image below of this really slick piece paying homage to many of Generation One Megatron's most famous moments.

At first click, I was actually a tad disappointed it wasn't a collage of all the TFs he voiced.

And then 3 seconds later, I was like, who cares? This is awesome!!!

What's that... orange explodey one, under the "main" Megatron's cannon? I'm drawing a complete blank on it.

Plot point from G1 cartoon episode "Heavy Metal War". Megatron used a "furnace" made by Scrapper to absorb all the Decepticons' special powers. Skywarp's teleportation, Starscream's null rays, etc.

Excellent! Picked up the Diaclone 2 pack, which is the only thing from this year's sets that really appealed to me; boxset included. A brand new-Pretender is pretty cool, but I had stopped collecting around the time the Pretenders came out, so no nostalgic appeal to me.

Hope everyone gets what they want!

I like the looks of the Waruders, but they're too rich for my blood. Especially if I'm going to try to afford the Mayhems. And Grand Scourge. And...

My blood needs to be more expensive.

Allow me. ;)

This year's "Cybertron's Most Wanted" story originally led us to believe that it was just gonna be a story about five criminals from different walks of life brought together to save Cybertron from a big threat a la Guardians of the Galaxy, but it's much more than that.

Thanks to most of the exclusives and their true nature all being kept secret prior to the convention, it turns out that story is a full blown official crossover between Transformers and Diaclone! Yes, DIACLONE! :DANCE: The original pre-TF line in which all of the robots were piloted mechs, and involved a space war between the Diaclone team and the Waruder aliens.

The four Waspinator redecos represent four Waruder mech drones piloted by the four smaller Waspinators who represent the Waruder pilots. Here's their bio:
Image

What's more is that all four of the toys are based on preexisting decos:
  • The Parasite drone (black and purple) deco is based on the unreleased "Halloween Horrorcon Waspinator" that was to have been part of the 2003 Universe line before it was canceled.
  • The Mudfighter drone (yellow and orange) deco is based on the Beast Wars Fox Kids Transmetal Waspinator, and also happens to be the deco used by Shattered Glass Waspinator.
  • The Storm Rider drone (red and blue) deco is the only Diaclone homage of the four, being based on the Diaclone Warudaros figure's deco.
  • The Paralyzer drone (white and red/pink) deco is not directly based on its source material, but is instead loosely based on it, which is Bug Bite. But, there is also some inspiration from a real world species of wasp in this deco, so it's the only one of the four that stands out as being more unique than the other three.
Furthermore, the attendee freebie Skrapnel redeco Zaptrap is also a Waruder, being the leader of the invaders in the story. And like the others, Zaptrap is a mech piloted by Beet-Chit, a redeco of Chop Shop.
Image
Image

Note that the redeco of Reflector that comes with the toy is not named in the bio, but the comic itself refers to it by the name of Spy-Eye, and also shows that, even though it comes with a Waruder, it is not a bad guy, but is instead a member of the Diaclone team.

This brings us to the good guys of the Diaclone-themed toys: Burn Out (the black Skids redeco) and Lift-Ticket (the red Hoist redeco).
Image

Notice the little Targetmasters from the Scoop mold (Sgt. Hound) are pictured next to each one. They are the pilots of the two Diaclone mechs. Burn Out is piloted by Dia (a female, btw, thereby technically making Burn Out a fembot), and Lift-Ticket is piloted by Cline.
Image
Image

So yeah, they really went all retro and old-school with paying tribute to what came before the Transformers with this year's offerings. People kept asking for a Diaclone-themed BotCon, and they pretty much delivered on many fronts with these figures. 8)
