Random Transformers toy: Transformers Botcon / Timelines Springer (Games of Deception). Probably the only Springer ever made without a helicopter mode, a repaint of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot / Galaxy Force Exigeyser:

I don’t know what I’d be happy with honestly. I feel like both the silhouette and compromises of the toy are essential to him. Even Botcon Treadshot (which was ostensibly that kind of upgrade) didn’t feel right IMO.

thinking about hubcap transformers and how i know nothing about him other than
1) he’s a yellow cliff with a new head
2) he was from 1986
3) he does not show up often, only really doing anything in one botcon story i have yet to read and idw sins of the wreckers

im not sure what my plans are yet, not even sure I'll be free in July, but out of all the tf conventions next year botcon is probably the one im most likely to hit

It’s funny because a bunch of us are going to attempt Toronto, and while I doubt I will make it do know like 10 of us Dratchet/Ratchlock preps (2 from Japan) are targeting Toronto

I heard botcon is a bit different but still crowded

From what I can tell it is a bit more relaxed and actually run like a proper convention, with meaningful panels and events (pinball and games, blockers customizing). An actual badge instead of a wristband. It’s a tough one. G-Fest is nearby too

Damn maybe I should go for botcon instead

Opened up a bunch of old Botcon toys last night and I was astonished by how unbelievably bad the quality control was across the board. Horrible tolerances, shittier plastic, one figure was missing a leg straight out of the brand new packaging???

oooo good to know...

i went to botcon in 2025, it was super fun, but this was back when it was in ft wayne. a little crowded but much less so than any tfcon i've been to. it was small, but i still really enjoyed it. idk what its like now that they seem to have permanently moved it to chicago...

La pire qualité pour l'une de mes figurines censées être les plus rares.

If you look closely you can see that I am displaying two Botcon Animated Dragstrips on two adjacent shelves because I fucking love her.

That was a Botcon thing which Takara dosn't reference often, if at all. Most likely it will be Go! Prime. Which will make it the thrid Nemesis coloured figure in New Legends.

Grandus' Micromaster buddy, Spinner, and a '98 Botcon Antagony for under $1,000

You say that but I do have that Botcon clean Ratchet mould and some Medix labels.

so the pin I found in a drawer is a BOTCON PIN from 2013, which makes sense I guess, but I can't find anything online so it's on EBAY AUCTION

'CAUSE I DUNNO MAN, is this a $10 pin or a $100 pin, i do not know
