This is really the first convention set I've seen in a very long time that just doesn't do it for me. Usually I can find something I like in everything Transformers, but this set is lackluster at best to me. I feel like I'm getting a set of MOTU Faker like characters. Bummed so far ... hopefully the convention comic will turn my opinion of these figures around.

I agree. Last year's set set a standard that will be hard to match IMHO.

Me either, the only one I could see myself wanting really is Goldbug, the rest kind of suck. Though I wouldn't mind having Jazz's head to put on a movie G1 colored Jazz.

Probably did not want to have to have something that required even more paint apps. But I agree it would have been nice to use the Armada mold instead of the remolded Cybertron planet key using mold and give us another minicon.
It should have been easy enough to swap the new head with the old...

Although, if this one is true, that head sculpt is pretty interesting.

FYI - this is a repaint of the Cybertron Blurr toy, which is a remold of the Armada Blurr toy. Here's a gallery of the Cybertron Blurr toy ...

I had put Armada Blurr because that was the last rumor we had heard, so it would be like a continuation to the next phase, so oh look not Armada Blurr, Cybertron Blurr... I edited it now though.

Shattered glass is gonna be more than just a Botcon story, I believe. It can become its own continuum. I already got plans for DVD Prime repaints, fan fic continuing the Botcon story, whatever it may be, the whole kitten kaboodle. Ur dagone right, I said kitten kaboodle!
I'll even throw Howlback in it for kicks!!!
