Botcon 2012 News

So, anyone else following Botcon coverage? Any thoughts so far?

Personally, I'm very happy to hear that the Fall of Cybertron toyline will be continuing in a big way. Full toyline by the sound of it, covering several size classes.

Following it all, and so far the Hasbro stuff has felt kinda "Meh" to me. The new Generations Soundwave is a bit of a cop-out as well, as it's just an upscaled Generations WFC one.

I'm interested in more details about the Club's toy subscription service however.

Having seen pics I'm a lot more enthiusiastic about FOC Bruticus - shame the cool coloured one is SDCC exclusive.
Also feel a little cheated that MP Optimus will have his trailer in the US market when I got a Japanese one specifically for it. Though I guess it remains to be seen whether it makes it to the UK at all. If it does, I recommend everyone buys one, I might even pick up a second depending on price.
I agree that FOC Soundwave feels a bit 'meh' for now, will have to know more before I pass judgement.
And the subscription service sounds interesting, but given current club prices it seems likely that they'll still be firmly out of my pricerange. But then Scourge...

So far a better set of reveals than last year certainly, but I remember better ones too.
