The next panel began at 1:00pm. Hosted by Jesse Wittenrich and Pete Sinclair (who, I repeat, is NOT in charge of BotCon; Hany Agaby of Agabyss is), the panel was a rather brief one for the convention comic, BotCon Unlimited #3. In the lead-up to the convention, the revelation of the Yolopark...

BotCon 2024 report (split across three posts) BotCon 2024 has come and gone, and what a weekend it was! Thursday Thursday began with the first custom class of the weekend at 9:00am, with the first of three custom class figures. I didn't go to any of the classes, so I'll just cover the three...

The Hartmans and Transformerland had some really good deals. The Hartmans were really trying to clear out their stock of old BotCon stuff. They were even selling MISB Shokaracts for 400. Sandstorm was the only one that was hard to get, because the Hartmans sold out of theirs and I had...

I don't know if we knew about this beforehand or not, but I just got an email from Hasbro Pulse that revealed that Legacy Evolution Deluxe class RID15 Strongarm is getting a package refresh in Legacy United.

Definitely. The price signs said "BotCon Incredible Deal".

Looking closer at the pic, I think it was Toynk. EDIT: Looking at their site for Transformers toys, some of their prices are kinda yikes.

War Within proper?

I think this was one of those online retailer booths, who brought their stock they had bought from Hasbro directly. These probably weren't selling so well online, and so brought them there to sell at discounted prices. Metroplex sold like hotcakes.

Ah, so it looks like he refined his War Within design for IDW.

Yep. Just got confirmation from our Discord. Nemesis was being sold for 220:

Is it me, or does it look like this Optimus is meant to double as not only pre-Earth IDW Optimus but also War Within Dreamwave Optimus? The position of the wheels behind his shoulders remind me a lot of this:

I'm guessing those two were chosen in order to match up with Elita One and Arcee. And looking at the full roster, there aren't any flying characters at all, it seems.

In addition to all those Guardian Robots and Cybertron Metroplexes, The vendor was also selling a ton of the Nemesis, but not for a price as low as those two were sold. I don't remember the exact price (my gut is thinking 220, but I could definitely be wrong about that), but it was just high...

True story: this vendor was also selling tons and tons of Legacy Titan class Cybertron Metroplex for a measly 80 bucks. That's less than what Commander class figures go for nowadays. And people were apparently buying them because they kept running out and were restocked at the booth each day.

He was asking about the Generation 2 promo.

More news on this weekend's events is yet to come. In the meantime, behold this announcement that was made at the end of today's events:

The loss of both Nicole Dubuc and Mae Catt is very noticeable in this season, yeah.

Either way, the answer to "Am I a joke to you?" when it comes to that (and the other two CD-i games) is nothing short of a big fat "YES!" On a related note, this popped up in my feed:
