On their Facebook page, BotCon revealed the show souvenir exclusves right before the club store opened to sell them to throngs of waiting fans. Available are:

  • Thundercracker/Mirage 2-pack (limited to 2000)
  • Sandstorm/Electron 2-pack (limited to 2000)
  • Rainmakers 3-pack (Sunstorm, Bitstream, Hotlink, limited to 2500)
  • Kreon 5-pack (Kreon figures of the box set characters, limited to 1500)

Along with yesterday’s revelation of the attendee-exclusive Starscream and the customization class Blastcharge Strika, we now know all of the exclusive toys available at the show.  In addition, BotCon showed a new War of Machines lithograph, featuring this years characters; what look like trading cards that could be autographed by the guests; and  a plethora of the club’s Depth Charge exclusive toy.  Hit the mirrored gallery after the jump!

ASM Thoughts: Personally, I feel the best of these are the Rainmakers.  While Bitstream looks pretty much like Thundercracker, Sunstorm is a great orange.  And Hotlink? Oh, man, it’s a gorgeous purple.

Sandstorm is a nice use of the Skyhammer mold; Electron is a toy I will have to judge in person, as are Mirage and Thundercracker.  The Kreon set is a nice touch, and I should’ve expected that after Joe Con had a set.
