Botcon.com has posted four new pictures revealing two figures in both modes from the convention exclusive box set for this year. I think Jazz’s colors and new head came out great. I wasn’t a big fan of the Cybertron Crosswise mold, though, so I’m not sure how excited I am about it.
 

The revelation of Grimlock puts the kibosh on the photo from taobao.com (?) of the black Grimlock as being the Botcon exclusive.

 

Here is the photo of the rumored black Grimlock:

Also, it appears that a prototype of the Botcon repaint of Cybertron Voyager Class Starscream has surfaced. He appears to be modeled very much in the likeness of Jetfire. You can see the auction here with lots of pictures. I’ve included a few of them below.
 

With agents all over the world, its kind of amazing no one from Powet.TV lives in New York City. So unfortunately, we miss going to Toy Fair. But so many sites are getting good photos up, we’ll just use this space to link to them all.
And you can use the comments section to add more links you may find or discuss what you love and hate about whats revealed this year.
ActionFigure.com covers some specialty figures.
TFW2005 has extensive Hasbro coverage
ASM will be getting more photos through tomorrow of everything!
Toy News International has lots of pictures, and a huge focus on Marvel comics toys!
Wizard Universe has press and site photos
Any other sites you know with photos? Been there yourself? Leave a comment and we’ll keep Powet up to date.

Today we have for you the robot and vehicle images of Goldbug from the Botcon 2008 Convention exclusive box set of figures. We’ve already posted about Prime in robot mode here and his alt mode here.

 

Goldbug’s face is colored like his G1 namesake in blue, but the rest of his colors liken him more to the G1 Deluxe Insecticons. Specifically Chop Shop’s general body shape and color scheme.

  

Remember to check out Botcon.com for more information on the exclusives, the convention and all other things Botcon.

Images of G1 Goldbug and Deluxe Insecticons hail from TFU.INFO.

In the current tradition of dragging things out as long as possible before every gets to see the full set, Botcon.com posted the alt mode of the already revealed ‘Shattered Glass’ Optimus Prime based on the Classics mold of Prime. This is the first figure revealed thus far in the Botcon Convention Exclusive box set of figures.

So far I have to say that I’m liking this figure. I love all the detailing in the vehicle mode from the ‘Til All are Gone!’ to the cracked windshield. The color scheme in robot mode reminds me of Black Zarak’s scheme, particularly with the splash of gold on the crotch. Maybe not so much with the pale red, but thats what it made me think.

Botcon.com has revealed the first figure from the 2008 Convention Exclusive box set of figures. The figure is a repainted Transformers Classics Optimus Prime mold. The theme this year is called ‘Shattered Glass’ and takes place in a ‘mirror universe’ of sorts, where many things are reversed. In this case, the Autobots are the villains, while the Decepticons are the heroes. Optimus will lead the evil Autobots.

I must admit, its a bit disappointing they only showed the robot mode for this figure considering the past two years, they revealed both modes.

Ready? It’s the second of our three-part coverage of TGS 2007!
