Ebay seller SPX has
images of the upcoming BotCon Dreadwind figure. This is the second BotCon toy to find it's way out of TakaraTomy's factories and onto eBay.
The toy still looks really nice, and at $15.41 it's a snip (even with the $40 shipping), at it's current price.

Pete Sinclair has posted a few times over on TFW2005 today regarding Botcon due to rather vocal displeasure that has been posted. His post was to let people know that there are still places available for the Movie, Hasbro tour and the toys. Here's his most informative post
"
Okay, just to be clear. There are still plenty of movie tickets available and there is still plenty of time on the boxed sets. The Hasbro tour is about full, there might be a few opening, BUT remeber, 100 people wil be drawn at random for the last 100 spots so even if you didn't make it in with the first 400 you still have a shot."

The Botcon website has been updated with the registration forms. You can find the
attendees form here and the
dealers form here. They have also published
information on the event, confirming that there will be a special limited showing of the new Transformers Movie. They have also confirmed that 500 attendees will get the chance of visiting Hasbro's offices. The 500 are the first 400 people to register and 100 via a raffle.
The convention toys are:-
Classics Thrust
Classics Thundercracker
Classics Dirge
Classics Dreadwind
Classics Bugbite.
You can safely assume the toys will be re-coloured Classic Starscream molds for the Strike planes, with Bugbyte probably a White Classics Bumblebee, based on the e-Hobby Bugbite minibot. Deadwind
could be a recoloured Jetfire, though that is unclear.
David Kaye has also been annouced as the first official guest.
