Botcon 2006 LogoBotcon.com has posted official images of the next exclusive for this year’s official Transformers convention. We have seen many pictures of this figure on ebay and elsewhere surface for the past couple months, but here it is finally in official paint scheme.

You might remember the previously announced figures, but if not here’s whats official so far:

Unofficially we’ve also seen:

  • A repainted Cybertron Defense Red Alert with remolded head as Megatron
  • A repainted RID Windshear with remolded head as Waspinator
  • A repainted energon divebomb that could be Terrorsaur

From this it seems pretty obvious we’re not just getting a maximal set of figures, but we can only speculate on that for the time being until things play themselves out.

Also, I was pretty disappointed that news of Rattrap’s revealing was not trickled through the email list of the Collector’s Club first. If I’m paying an annual US$40-60 membership, I expect news like this to be given to the members first and not have to find out via another news site, especially where the club and convention are so tightly coordinated.
