Rapido! Rapido! We're not talking about the speed of yours truly, or the speed of our news. We're referring to an exclusive figure from the big show itself - Botcon. Earlier in the week, robust news administrator Mkall reported that Botcon would have a Generation Two theme. All the cards are pointing in that direction, as Transformers insider and Energon Pub member s250 has updated his twitter with this message:

Classics Prowl repaint as G2 Rapido....BotCon

Now what does Rapido look like? Well the fellow below happens to be him, pictures courtesy of Istaipen.

Classics/Universe Prowl was released a year or two ago, you can check our gallery of the figure here!

Keep it at Seibertron.com for the fastest Transformers news on the net!

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE CONFIRMATION FROM ANYONE OFFICIALLY ASSOCIATED WITH BOTCON REGARDING THIS. UNTIL IT IS ANNOUNCED BY BOTCON, THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RUMOR! PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER DETAILS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE!!!

Well, I know at least one person who just creamed himself.

Spoiler: It wasn't me.

This...may be really F'n cool though.

Now... will they make a new Windbreaker?

Oh yeah, I'm all for this set.

I'm so glad I can make Botcon this year.

I thought those particular Autobots were latter UK\JAP G1, as opposed to G2? Regardless, I loved those figs when I was a kid.

I wonder if we're going to get a Skyscorcher?

Hmmm, while I am glad they took the high road and are releasing some of the original figures from G2, I am not the worlds biggest fan of the Prowl/Streak/Smokescreen mold. I still plan on going to Botcon, we will have to see how long I keep this figure!

Posted by Scaleface on March 19th, 2010 @ 9:59am CDT

I hope they use the European verison of Rapido with the pink windows as the model (extra bright G2 colors!), and the Silversteak mold variant without the light bar.

Will they use the G2 symbols? Or is hasbro stuck on G1 symbols to the exclusion of everything else?

Re: RUMOR: Botcon Exclusive Repaint #1 might be ... (1055938)
Posted by Razorclaw0000 on March 19th, 2010 @ 10:14am CDT

Nice. I'm really glad we might be going with more obscure G2 figures instead of the G1 repaints.

I was thinking the same thing myself. I'm hoping for G2 symbols in this case. I wonder what is going to classify them as G2 (fiction-wise).

I kinda figured that if they were going to do G2, that we'd get the obscure characters and not repaints like Black Sideswipe. I'm kinda hoping against hope for a G2 Ramjet color deco though.

Also just read the TFwiki for Rapido...hmmm, has the highest possible rank in the autobot army...interesting. Still hoping for Pyro from Cyb Optimus Prime!

It was released in England both without the G2 banner and later as part of the G2 line.

Me? I'm still holding my breath for some Japanese series characters to be included like, oh I don't know... METALHAWK!!!!

Or at least to be sure they're not making them os I can make my own!

Posted by Tigertrack on March 19th, 2010 @ 10:36am CDT

Must have a G2 Black Sideswipe no matter what anyone else says...

I think they can have a nice mix of known characters versus unknown.

Classics Hound as G2 Swindle?

G2 Ramjet would be very, very excellent.

It would be cool to see almost anything. I am so glad to hear that they took my suggestion for a G2 set!!! :APPLAUSE:

Re: RUMOR: Botcon Exclusive Repaint #1 might be ... (1055950)
Posted by Scaleface on March 19th, 2010 @ 10:44am CDT

Although early packages of Rapido didn't mention "Generation 2" on them, all version fo Rapido had the G2 Autobot logo on them.

Of course if the fiction is set during G1, but they have G2 characters in it, it would make sense for them to have G1 symbols on them. If Fub Publications recent use of Deluge and Jetstorm in The Coming Storm is any indication, they will have G1 symbols.

I can see why this character would be perfect for this mold. The alt modes and robot modes are very similar. But I prefer it when BotCon toys are of more recognisable characters. Still, it's a step up from Flak and Landshark.

And for the record, I like the Prowl mold. It's just as good as the Sunstreaker mold. The only problem I have with it is the door wings can get in the way. Why do people not like this mold?

Re: RUMOR: Botcon Exclusive Repaint #1 might be ... (1055954)
Posted by Seibertron on March 19th, 2010 @ 10:55am CDT

I can't believe how excited I am about a G2 BotCon set. This might match or top the 2007 Seekers set for me personally. I hope they do some of the obvious ones.

AND DAMMIT I WANT A G2 MENASOR AND G2 DEFENSOR SET!!! Please!

I LOVE G2!!!!

I need to get this set. I'm willing to bet it won't all be G2 either. I'm thinking they are also going to mix in late G1 figures too as a G1.5, which is fine by me too.

I'm still hoping for Energon Bulkhead as G2 Powerdive. It's a PERFECT fit for a G2 set, and the mold has yet to be used...

Re: RUMOR: Botcon Exclusive Repaint #1 might be ... (1055967)
Posted by Delicon on March 19th, 2010 @ 11:32am CDT

I've been thinking that they were going to do a G2 set eventually because they've been long hinting at it g past BotCons. My personal hope is that they mix it up between G2 exclusive characters and G1 spillover characters.

The problem with the G1 spillover characters is that a LOT of them made appearances during Shattered Glass (Grimlock, Sideswipe, Jazz)

Another cool idea would be a Legends 3-pack of chromed up Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Beachcomber.

Of course, the Purple Ramjet has to be at the top of my wishlist.

I just keep holding out hope that one year they'll release those sets. I had hoped that the extreme popularity of the Seacons set last year would get someone to take a look at other possible Gestalt/Combiner sets that could possibly be rereleased with new color schemes.

One day ...

Yes indeed. Too bad ol' Seaspray didn't get a little love as a Legends Class figure in the Universe Classics line.

The red Chome Legends Bumblebee should be G2 Hubcap.

I hope that if we get the Prowl mold redecoed as Rapido, we also get Skram.

Unless Cybertron Defense Red Alert gets repainted as Stalker this set is going to be fail!
And it's highly unlikely too since they used that mold years ago. *sigh*

I don't really care what we're getting as long as the mold choices are decent. I'm lost at G2 and UK exclusive stuff. Too much neon for me to really care.

Huge G2 fan but have a lot of them already. Surprised they picked Rapido, Skram is the more high profile Axelarator and Rapido has the worst bot mode.

Would love a purple Ramjet but name it Slipstream given both character's similar colour schemes.

Cybertron Starscream as Jhiaxus.

Energon Starscream as Hooligan. Looked great in the Botcon comic.

Energon Starscream as Smokescreen.

Probably see Classics Bumblebee in gold or Classics Sideswipe as Rage or Firecracker. Not a fan but I'm sure someone would like them.

One of the Movie Bumblebees for Windbreaker. Though I prefer his Euro name of Zap.

Much rather if they just repainted old G2 molds like the Laser Rods or Stormtroopers. Robotmasters was my happy revisit to G2.

What would make you think there would be no Decepticons? Every year there is a pretty equal number of Bots to Cons. And People always know what they are buying. The names and theme are released in the brochure and then the sneak peak of toys over the course of a couple weeks will be shown. Plus if you end up not liking the toys, you can always cancel your registration.

As for the add ons, I like that they are meant to be a surprise at the convention.

If you can, go. If you don't like the set then keep them for a year and sell them off for 3 times what you paid for it.

There is more to Botcon than the toys.

I've got high hopes for this set, being an old schooler who stuck with the line all the way through our 3-year long darkest hour of G2. Not that the line was bad; I mean that horrible feeling that the whole franchise could drop dead and be forgotten at any moment. Didn't shake that off until well into Beast Wars. If you weren't part of online fandom, for all you knew, you were the last one who cared.

The only way they could go wrong is if all this talk of repainted gestallt teams leads to Classics Silverbolt and Onslaught in G2 colors. That'd be a total waste.

And am I the only one who thinks Armada Jetfire with a new head would be the perfect Jhiaxus? He's rounded, and even has those fins on the back of his calves, just like big J!

For characters from where G2 blurs into the J/E exclusives...could some character choices in Last Stand of the Wreckers be telegraphing?

As for Sky Scorchers, Cybertron Jetfire to Terradive would be the easiest repaint of all.

And the box itself should look like the Cybernet Space Cube.

Yeah, those were interesting times. The only way you knew about new figures back then was by going out and doing some real toy hunting. Two of the coolest finds I ever had was ...

1) when I found Laser Rod Optimus Prime at KB Toys ... didn't know about it until that very moment and it was the only time I ever saw that figure in stores. Bought after my last day of high school around Memorial Day 1995.

2) Not seeing any new toys until January of the next year at a Kmart ... when I thought Kenner bought the name "Transformers" from Hasbro and started making these new "beast" toys. It had been so long since I had had a Transformers fix that I bought them just because I wanted to collect something. At least it was still "Megatron" ... but what was up with this Optimus Primal name? Did Hasbro keep the name Optimus Prime for themselves? Ah, another crazy moment.

I kind of expect this ... but I agree, this would be a waste to me. Definitely cooler characters that need some love. Though somehow I'm OK with purple Ramjet and black Sideswipe. Go figure.

For me, it was seeing a TV listing for the G2 cartoon, being really excited to watch it after I got home from church and wanting to punch my TV screen when I realized what it really was.

I would say there's never been a stupider idea in the history of Transformers, but we did just hear about that cologne.

While I do have a small soft spot for G2, it being my first exposure to Transformers technically, there are only a few figures I'd like to see homaged. Black Sideswipe, Blue Grimlock, "Canadian" Slag, ATB Megatron and Starscream, the Cyberjets, and maybe some unreleased figures like General Optimus Prime, Sgt. Hound, and the unknown Autojetter and Autolauncher repaints.

I have a feeling that Sideswipe and Ramjet might be one of the bonus sets, along with a Chrome'd up Minibot. I can see them splitting the Minibots up like they did with the Predacons in SG.

Imagine if they gave us the G2 GoBots line using some popular Deluxe-class car 'bots and giving them retooled G1 character heads.

There had been talks of the G2 Decepticons under Jhiaxus, particularly Rook. What would you think about a repainted/remolded Energon Barricade for him?

I'd really like to see G2 Dreadwing get some love. And the Rotor Force & Laser Rod/Cycle teams.

As far as I'm concerned, this is great news. Last year's set was a disappointment. This is already a step in the right direction. The Prowl/Silverstreak/Smokescreen mold is a good one.

Just a friendly reminder: we have zero confirmation from anyone officially connected to Botcon. A G2 themed Botcon set is purely a rumor as of this moment.
