I have been attending Transformers conventions for over a decade now. I not only own all of the convention exclusive sets offered over that time, I have experienced the convention and its prevailing atmosphere each year. I wanted to make a list of the five best Botcon exclusive sets, not just based on the toys, but on much more than that. Innovation. Character Selection. Overall theme. Fan Demand. I made this list with all of these things in mind to bring forth the most cohesive and synergistic sets to date.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, especially because my anticipation has been running high for this figure. The Transformers Collector’s Club revealed their second 2011 Club Exclusive figure, Transtech Cheetor. A character model is shown using a Transformers Animated style. The art was provided by Derrick J Wyatt. While, we have not seen the actual robot mode, they have provided a nice picture of the vehicle mode. The figure uses the Transformers Animated Blurr mold with a newly sculpted head. This will most likely be the only Animated mold to get the club treatment. Transtech Cheetor will be joining G2 Ramjet as figures available for purchase exclusively through the Collector’s Club. If you sign up for the club before March 16, you will also receive the club freebie figure, Side Burn.
