I'll probably post pics of my haul after I get home tomorrow.
It's got such an earnest 70s Super Robot Face I can't not love it.
Also there's something funny about Cy-Kill's hammy personality coming out of it.
I'm waiting for a slight remolded robot for a Fast and the Furious crossover using the SS mold.
They come from the TR Laser Prime mould releases.
Hot pink comes from Legends Black Convoy
Blue comes from TR Laser Prime from the Velocitron set
Yellow comes from the TR Optimus Prime retail release
I thought they looked familiar. Though, the yellow looks more green in that pic, making it match Toxitron even more.
An they look way better wielded by those three than the dinky little swords they actually came with.
I was most unsure about the yellow sword, because it's the furthest from the green one he comes with. That being said, Toxitron is yellowish-green already and the sword does a good job "blending" with it. It's not a perfect match, but it can get very close depending on the lighting.
Oh yeah, absolutely. I'm actually a big fan of the Legacy Laser Prime mould, but I don't care for the weapons. The swords are too small, the axe is goofy, and the combined weapon does nothing for me.
So being able to re-use the weapons from the TR figures has been great. Makes the sting of Hasbro re-doing the concept so soon hurt just a bit less
Well, the lighting in your pics (or maybe it's the colors on my screen) make it look green enough to match Toxitron from my end.

Post-convention purchase from Best Buy: Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital release of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood starring Matthew Rhys and Tom Hanks
Nice haul!
It really is a great film.
I wasn't planning on getting it, but when we stopped to get lunch on the drive home the day after the convention, there was a Best Buy next to the restaurant and I went in to look around and just happened to come across two copies of it on the shelf. I hadn't watched it since its release in theaters, and hadn't seen it available in stores anymore since its initial release, so I grabbed it. And if the rumors of Best Buy stores getting rid of their DVD/BD section prove to be true, this'll be a high-note final purchase for me to go out on.
That Best Buy also had one last copy of the Super7 Unicron toy that's based on the original toy prototype, but I decided not to buy it because the paint on its face (particularly the left eye) had been completely stripped and cut up inside the packaging. I want one, but I want one with good paint, not stripped paint. I can just get one off of Amazon, instead.
