Transformers Collector's Club News on Seibertron.com
Released on the Official BotCon website today is the 2nd figure reveal for BotCon 2012, in Dallas TX. This Shattered Glass Autobot is Tracks and bears a striking likeness to Road Rage. Four more figures are to be revealed in the BotCon 2012 Box set "Invasion". The images are mirrored below or head over to the Official Botcon 2012 website.
This figure, as several have speculated, also serves as homage to Road Rage, an eHobby release of the G1 Tracks figure in Diaclone colours; known for her - yes her - friendliness in robot mode, but extreme anger and recklesness while in vehicle mode. Perhaps SG Tracks will have the same personality? Time will tell.
The Official BotCon facebook page just posted an up close and personal image of the recently revealed BotCon 2012 "Invasion" Boxset exclusive Gigatron (Overlord). Take a look below, they've promised to post more images of this guy to the Official BotCon 2012 website soon.
Update: Images from the BotCon homepage added and mirrored below.
Starscream, or Grimlock rather, has revealed the first figure in the exclusive 2012 BotCon "Invasion" boxset! Check out the video embedded below to get your first look at Gigatron, who is a repaint of ROTF Voyager Bludgeon with brand new head sculpt. A mold chosen to reference Overlord's Gigatank component.
Jesse Wittenrich has updated his deviantART account with both pieces of BotCon 2012 promotional art that we've seen so far, the shadowy Shattered Glass Evil Ultra Magnus teaser and the full color version that also features Shattered Glass Heroic Soundwave. Check out the nice clear versions of the art below.
Fans of the 1986 Transformers Movie will be getting a little treat in the New Year. According to the Transformers Collectors Club, issue #43 of the TCC Magazine which kicks off the 2012 club comic story "A Flash Forward" will include a four page intro which fits into the 1986 Transformers Movie. The new scene is written by G1 Story Editor Flint Dille with art by Dan Khanna.
TFCC just sent out the following update regarding the 2012 BotCon hotel reservations:
To all BotCon attendees who are holding current reservations: There was a glitch in the hotel's reservation system as it was supposed to be taking one night's deposit when your made your reservation.
Per our contract with the hotel, they need to take this deposit by charging everyone's credit card for the first night's room and tax.
In order not to impact anyone's Christmas shopping, I have asked them to hold off making the charge until January 3, 2012.
In addition, this deposit will be refundable until April 9, 2012. If you cancel after April 9, 2012 your deposit will NOT be refunded.
If you are holding any rooms "in case someone needs them" we ask you to either turn the reservation over to another party, or to release them by January 2, 2012, as we still have other attendees who need to make room reservations. Again, all rooms being held will have a one night's deposit charged on January 3, 2012.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Having trouble getting your room booked for BotCon 2012? You're in luck, an additional block has been added. BotCon sent out the update below:
Due to the high volume of attendees, we have added an additional block in the hotel for those attending BotCon 2012 in Dallas Texas. Please make your reservations now at BotCon.com. Follow the hotel link. If you did not get the $129 rate for each night, you need to update your reservation as that rate is still good from the Friday before to the Monday after BotCon!
The Official Transformers Collectors' Club just sent out the following update regarding the BotCon 2012 location and registration. It sounds like the long awaited location announcement is close at hand.
The other big piece of news is we now have a pre-order month for Runabout and Shattered Glass Drift. This marks our earliest release yet, as these will be available to all Club members for pre-order purchase starting in January, 2012 with an anticipated ship date of early March. If you were thinking of waiting to sign up at the March 16th* deadline to get these, you probably shouldn't! We expect these two club exclusives to go fast so if you need to join or renew, do it today!
*Note: Anyone who DOES sign up by March 16th WILL get the FREE 2012 Runamuck figure. That is guaranteed. To be able to purchase Runabout and Drift, we suggest being a member no later than Jan 1st.
They have also posted details and the cover for issue #42 of the Club magazine featuring Transformers Prime Wheeljack, visit their homepage to view the full sized image.
This is just the tip of the magazine iceberg as Issue 42 also has a great interview with the voice of G1 Tracks and Cosmos, Michael McConnohie, two all new MTMTE profiles, a retrospective article by Jim Sorenson and the finale to the 2011 Comic storyline "Battle Lines." A couple crazy twists has changed what you thought about this G1 story-line forever!
