Fellow Seibertronian gema brings the final pictorial review of BotCon 2015 exclusives, as confirmed by a recent report from the event here - featuring the Generations Roadbuster redeco into Generation 2 General Optimus Prime, in green camo! Check out thoughts and photos below, and head here for more.

The paint apps and finishing is nicely done and detailed. Even the rims are fully painted.
Not sure about the others but when I first saw him, the camo itself is not enough to identify him. Luckily, the G2 Autobot logo narrowed down the search.

While the original G2 version transformed into a dumper truck, having a new version of General Optimus Prime that transform into a fully weaponize off-road vehichle is not really a bad choice (personally).

Personally, the alt mode is just okay for me, not bad but not great either. But I'm really surprised how the robot mode turn out to be with G2 General Optimus Prime's paint scheme.

Not only he has the same star on the chest just like the unreleased G2 version, the head sculpt does resembles the original mold which can explain why Roadbuster mold was chosen in the first place.

The quality of the figure is pretty much the same as previous variants and the joints are even tighter than my Generations Roadbuster.

Flares everywhere.

I want those bugs

Adding Reflector in the mix was probably forced, bumping up the value to the standard Scout-Deluxe grey area, and being gang-molded with Skrapnel. :-?

btw Anybody notice that the bio card has no faction symbol of any kind:

Zaptrap himself is more like an animal, with Beet-Chit as his master or "pilot". They have to be from the Diaclone universe, now part of the Cymond cluster along with other TF-related franchises (like Microman, Yuusha/Brave and even Starriors). Can't wait to see the other Souvenirs.

Some members of funpub have said, on other sites, that they either dislike the mold, or find it too "difficult".

They don't want to mess with the crap shoulder engineering. I'm good with it.

I think General OP is the best-looking version of the Roadbuster mold, by far.

Guys, I may have found the name of the Reflector redeco: Spy-Eye. If it sounds familiar yet a bit lame, you'd be right as that's the name of a Super Gobot:

Spy-Eye on TFU.info.

I was just going to call him MicroX.

Also, the red makes him resemble Spectro:

Happy accident

The name supposedly comes from the comic, and those who have it say he works with the Diaclone guys, so his toy is a good guy but comes with bad guys.

Good guys, bad guys - going off where we've seen some of these decos in the club comic, this was all just SG without being SG, wasn't it?

I'm super into this as a warudaros homage. This definitely makes the set for me. At first I was disappointed the freebie wasn't a deluxe, but this is pretty much perfect

Where is he in the comic? I want to make sure I get the "factions" right when I do group shots this afternoon.

Man I wish I could vote. -_- Favorite Character: Prowl. Best Combiner: Devastator. I casted my opinions. >:oP

Wow, FunPub is clever.

I just found out that Burnout and Lift-Ticket aren't new names, rather they're two characters from the G.I. Joe franchise. Not for nothing, as Henshin Cyborg, Microman and Diaclone are all descended from our G.I. Joe.

aw I was hoping the pink one would be more unique in character. It's interesting they used one of the new head budgets for G2 SGT hound, yet the head doesn't appear anywhere else. Maybe they're saving it for the TFSS like with breakdown?
