I just received a slightly advance copy of the Club exclusives Airazor and Astrotrain today. Apparently both figures have already begun shipping this week so if you purchased these figures you should be receiving them within the next week or two. I wasn't expecting the packaging to be the same quality as the regular convention exclusive sets. These are definitely incredible sets that are worthy enough to add alongside 13 years worth of Botcon exclusives. Without further ado, here are some teaser pictures until I have time tomorrow night to begin working on full blown galleries of these awesome and long awaited figures. Please click on the images below to view larger images.
CHROMIA 10 PILOT (AIRAZOR)
Function: Squadron Leader
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
The Maximal Imperium employs many different tactics in their attempts to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. The smart and sassy pilot of the Chromia 10 heads up one of the numerous Maximal Squadrons assigned to prevent any rogue Predacon factions from operating outside the terms of the Pax Cybertronia. Airazor and her team are often delegated recon missions deep within Predacon space where many Maximals dare not venture. Her fellow pilots are inspired by her willingness to put herself in harm's way if it means protecting the peace the Maximals hold so dear. In vehicle mode she is able to observe her targets at a range of up to 30,000 feet and recreate any enemy Intel she comes across with 3-D virtual reality maps. Equipped with a titanium plated exo-structure, in robot mode her weapon of choice is her Retractable Photon Cannon.
ASTROTRAIN
Function: Bounty Hunter
Motto: "The greatest opportunities are borne from adversity."
Constructed to serve as a transport for Megatron and his warriors, Astrotrain became discontent ferrying unappreciative Decepticons across the galaxy. In the chaos that followed The Unicron Battles, Astrotrain struck out on his own as a bounty hunter. Astrotrain convinced the Mini-Con Star Catcher to join him by promising him wealth and riches. The same promise was made to a trio of Mini-Cons who joined him later: Astro-Hook, Astro-Line and Astro-Sinker. Astrotrain is cruel, but he is also extremely loyal to those under his command. He has an innate ability to inspire loyalty to others. His years of successful commissions have afforded him significant wealth, allowing him to upgrade his systems, greatly enhancing his strength. However, he has never given up his primary weapon, an ionic blaster that disrupts an enemy's internal circuitry.
