Of course, a chunk of fandom is whining and bitching about the Botcon figures and I just can't partake in any of it anymore.

The pre-beast mode Cheetor was unveilled yesterday. Sure I'd have liked him to have been larger and been retooled/redeco'd from the Nitro Convoy mold but man, credit has to be given for a top notch Cheetor-out-of-Clocker figure.

That paint application is bright and fun and silly and totally works for me. And the new head is really nice.

Botcon's go'n 2 for 3 on the figures so far. There was no hope of me liking any figure from the Armada Hoist mold so Dinobot was a lost cause.

I'm thinking the attendee exclusive will be a Tigertron since that's the easiest reuse of this retool.
