It doesn't seem as there's a neck joint. That was the One thing I was hoping from this, at least some kind of swivel at the neck with the headmaster addition.

I like the pink visor. The overall face sculpt is pretty good.

I'd sure like to own this guy, but like Fortress Maximus before him, I have to file it under Too Damn Expensive/I'm not good enough to make it to the Con figures.

I'm sure a third party will do a Zarak head that rotates.

I'd like to see pics of that head on the original Scorponok.
Sadly, Botcon's too rich for my blood this year. To ease the pain, I had to break down and Ebay a Double Punch. He fills the gap...a little.

BotCon 2014 sounds like an exciting, energetic, heart-pounding, thrill seeking event that'll blow all of our minds. (Hopefully, not literally.) 
Two free cookies and a glass of milk if Don Rickles shows up? This is the worst time of the year for such thing.

Auction Site Taobao has posted some images of what appears to be a BotCon 2014 Exclusive: Flamewar! A repaint of the Beast Hunters Deluxe Arcee Figure this is a character who was first introduced at BotCon 2005 as a repaint of another Arcee.
To see Seibertron's exclusive gallery of the original Flamewar click here and to see Beast Hunters Arcee click here.
Even more unusually Taobao also has what appears to be Arcee repainted as Transmutate. Unlike the recent TFCC version (the gallery of which can be seen here) this version uses the Robots In Disguise version of Arcee rather than the First Edition. A test model or something else?

Don't forget that at this point there is no guarantee that these are the finished designs or that they are genuine BotCon exclusives.

Gosh dang it, I bought a Beast Hunters Arcee just to customize it into Flamewar, thinking there wouldn't be an official release.
Oh well, my only consolation is I have a chance to make it look better, and I suppose it'll be cheaper to have bought the thing and repainted it by hand than it would be to buy this aftermarket.

Yeah, not convinced, we've seen pictures of other toys in Botcon bags this year that appeared to be legit but turned out to be a custom in a old bag.
There is no reason for the club to produce a second transmutate, it would cut into the sales of the first one.
The flamewar looks cool, but again, unlikely that they'd have two such similar molds, if the flamewar was made using the FE Arcee I'd be a lot more convinced.
I guess I'll just have to go to Botcon and find out for myself.

So, BH Flamewar transforms from Batgirl's bike into...Yoko from Gurren Lagann???
Or is there another iconic flame-bikini-top out there?
One thing we do know for sure: she ain't the free 12-and-under toy...
Now the new Transmutate is just all kinds of confusing. Could this be another case of a female TF being created via experimentation on a male character, but this time the gender switch was a side effect of curing Electro of gold-plastic-syndrome? Because when I picture her in opposition to FE-Arcee Transmutate, the smoother chest and wider wingspan just says Electro more than Transmutate. Go fig. Really curious to find out what the deal is here.

Flamewar makes a buttload of sense. Can't wait to see more of the other souvenirs.
Transmutate makes a buttload of "wat" and "why". I'd like to think that this was a concept that the Club was considering, but decided to ditch it.

Flamewar does make a whole lot of sense. In fact, I'm guessing she'll be the Attendee Freebie figure like the BotCon 2005 one. Gotta stay consistent, you know?
Now, Trans-Mutate is a whole different animal. Maybe either will be the Freebie, one as Flamewar herself, the other as a disguise? Either way, I want them.
That is, if everything is actually legit:

It's true. Taobao is where we saw most of the 2010 BotCon figures early, but it's also where we saw that supposed Glyph from the Classics Bumblebee mold. So take everything there with a pinch of salt.

Man, i really love that Flamewar, but I've been really happy with the Legion figures of her and Arcee because they scale nicely with Deluxes. Not that EVERY bike should or has to, the Junkions come to mind as Cybertronan Motorcycles, but Flamewar and Arcee were cool, and can ride their rear wheel into battle.

Transformers Collectors Club Rampage / Prime First Edition Megatron as Shokaract
Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Optimus Prime as Apelinq
Transformers Prime Vehicon and Jet Vehicon as the Generation 1 Decepticon clones, Pounce and Wingspan
If this list is to believed, personally, I would've wanted too see windrazor, expanded universe cyclonus, and fractyl

Pounce and Wingspan are definitely oddballs, one would think Fastlane and Cloudraker would have been better choices for these molds. Maybe Jhiaxus is offering his services?
Alpha Trion out of Thundertron would be a no-brainer, as would be Apelinq out of BW 10th Primal. Rampage as Shokaract... too soon?

Besides, the Vehicon molds make rather a spiffy Decepticon Clones pair - Click here

The last time someone suggested Fastlane and Cloudraker from the Vehicon molds, it was pointed out that the Vehicon molds look too evil to work as Autobots, even with a new head.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Pounce and Wingspan are definitely oddballs, one would think Fastlane and Cloudraker would have been better choices for these molds.

Except for the Cybertron toy already being "close enough" to Apelinq's deco, right down to the black and red surfboard.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:as would be Apelinq out of BW 10th Primal.
It's happened before. And this could instead be "The Hunter".JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Rampage as Shokaract... too soon?

What mold would have been used for Cyclonus?

I'd Use generations skywarp,Bring it round full circle because of the use of Beast machines Jetstorm (Ultra and deluxe) for Universe cyclonus and Universe Skywarp respectively.

I just want to note, Rampage also comes in a "Botcon 2013" marked polybag. So it's possible the RID Transmutate was from factory test shots but plans changed and FE Transmutate was made instead. Nice color, though. Very different from the color they chose, so would still like to see this made. Maybe as another character, maybe with an autobot symbol instead of the maximal, maybe as Chromia. I actually love both Prime Arcee molds, so I'd take them in any color.
