Fun Publications, the folks who run the Botcon convention, have posted a picture on facebook revealing the box art for the 2012 convention box set. As seen above, the art features each of the six characters in the set; Metalhawk, Overlord Gigatron, Shattered Glass Tracks, Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus, Shattered Glass Treadshot and Shattered Glass Soundwave.

Botcon will be held in Dallas, Texas this year from April 26th to 29th.

We saw him during registration. Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus is a repaint of the Reveal the Shield G2 Optimus Prime mold. The head is molded in translucent plastic. It looks like a new head to me, but the clear plastic is throwing me off and I don’t have the figure nearby to compare. The only remaining figure now is Metalhawk, which will be revealed next week.

  

Botcon just updated with the latest figure reveal for their upcoming exclusive convention set of figures. Shattered Glass Tracks has been revealed. As expected, he uses the Reveal the Shield Tracks mold and features the E-Hobby exclusive Road Rage paint scheme. No real surprises here, but still a nice piece to get confirmation on.

What do you think of the reveal? Let us know in the comments!

 

Over the last week a shocking number of images of the next class of Transformers figures, “Reveal The Shield” have been appearing on various Japanese retailer order pages and fan sites.

There’s almost too much to talk about here, and so much has been stated on our forums! If you haven’t seen these yet, go ahead and take a look. All of these figures will be appearing in the US next year, though some of what you see may look slightly different since these photos are from Japanese retailers and their product colors sometimes vary.
