It's an unofficial convention now (so don't expect any Hasbro repaints or retools), similar to TFCon. A bunch of people who did the old BotCons are back organizing this one, for better or worse.

Yay? Great that it's back but wasnt the corporate backing wjat helped make it so great? Even with the same ppl, it may feel like a husk of its formers self compared to it's glory days. Also, it feels like its lost its place and this comeback feels pointless. If its an unofficial con, there are already like 6 established unofficial cons that are great. What made botcon speicial was the official merch only at the cons and their tie-ins.

You are not wrong! Most people put up with BotCon and its organizers because it was the only place to get official merch. (All of that official merch is what's now Generations Selects, available for about a third of what you'd pay at Botcon and way less limited.) Without that, BotCon is basically TFCon, but run by people who squandered the community's goodwill. Not saying the new BotCon will be bad, or won't have some cool exclusives, but it's working with a lot less advantages than it used to have.
Generation selects is great, i can't wait till my cordon and spinout get here, and that hotshot was a great use of the Hound mold. |

I'm by no means a Transformers guy, but I just saw a review of MMC's' Vexo Prominon and ooo man is that a tempting buy. I feel like he'd go great with Leopardon.
That said, if Hasbro or any other notable 3rd party company ever remembers that Armada Hot Shot exists, someone notify me immediately.

I was too late to grab that Vexo, and it's a bummer. (I haven't checked to see if anyone's reoffered him, so maybe I'll do that next.) I picked up their Aero Alpha Asterisk a few years back at a TFCon, and it's a great figure. It's the same mold as Vexo, I believe, so you won't be disappointed if you can track one down. That deco is sweet!

3P wise, uhh, yeah. I mean, maybe. Some companies are finally dipping their toes into a pool besides G1, so we might actually see one.

Remember when Walmart had that big grey "War For Cybertron" Spoilers Box?
You can find it at Ollie's for $24.99! A bunch of them if you're lucky. https://www.seibertron.com/transform...-ollies/45473/ |
