I attended Botcon 2007 this year and was able to get my hands on all of the exclusives. I decided to do a quick hands on with all ten exclusives. I divided it up into two 10 minute videos because its long, a little boring, and not very in depth. If you’d like me to do a more in-depth look at each of the exclusives with more background information and the full transformations, please let me know by commenting on this post below. Thanks!

Part 1: Dirge, Thrust, Thundercracker, Dreadwind and Bugbite

Part 2: Springer, Huffer, Weirdwolf, Alpha Trion, and Phasing Mirage

For the initial announcements on each figure in the main set go to the following links:
Thundercracker
Dirge
Thrust
Dreadwind
Bugbite

[EDIT – CRAZY: It has been brought to my attention that Don Figueroa did the art for the cover of the box set and not Dan Khanna. Apologies.]

I’ve already told everyone I love this thing, made a few prank calls with it, and even annoyed viewers of my video blog. But since those I haven’t been able to torment with it don’t know what I’m talking about, I had to elaborate.

Now there is a variation I didn’t mention: some of these do NOT have Peter Cullen’s voice. Make sure you buy one that says “real movie sounds” and hit the button on the side of the helmet to make sure you get the real deal.

The movie is on its way and the figures have just come out. I wanted to share with you a figure I was very excited about and this is it.

Apologies for the long run time. I didn’t add anything beyond the scope of the figure, it just has a complex transformation that takes a bit.

Apologies if it seems a bit over edited. Remember to check out the show notes after the jump for more information not in the video!
