Good news for those who've been sitting by their computers awaiting the day when
Botcon 2012 Iacon non-attending packages would be made available - that day is today!
Botcon 2012 Non-Attendee packages are now available in limited numbers! If you intend to go down this non-attendee route be sure to act fast, as this option is as always limited stock and tends to sell out fast. Head on over to the
Botcon homepage and hit "register" to order your Iacon package today.
As an added bonus, Botcon have sent us over a piece of artwork of the Botcon "Overlord" by Nick Roche and Josh Burcham. Check it out by clicking the thumbnail at left.

Sky.ap.teacup.com has posted an article which shows a Transformers Prime display from World Hobby Fair, held in Osaka. Curiously enough, a retooled version of
Transformers Prime Voyager Optimus Prime was on display, with:
New Autobot logos on the shoulders
Silver shoulder stripes
All new shoulder cannon
All new Sword
5mm ports on the forearms
In the midst of the discussion, 2005 boards member tackertackle came out of nowhere and supplied the following info:
The panel in 6th picture says that this (or these?) weapon has a secret
and it will be revealed in Korokoro comic magazine April issue (which will out on March 15th).
I think (the)blade-like weapon is same as the one which is in teaser image with new mold voyager optimus.In any case, looks like come April, TakaraTomy has a more G1-inspired(deco-wise) Optimus on the way for the
Transformers Prime line! Check out this "new" Prime for yourself after the jump!

Do obscure references made by 3rd Party groups tickle your fancy? Good. Then Dr. Wu has something in store for you. A new picture has surfaced on website
toyspie of their Metroplex eye accessory. This picture depicts Generations Scourge holding Metroplex's eye just like the character does, while possessed by Starscream, in the Generation 1 episode
Ghost in The Machine.
Take a look at the image and then head over to the 2005 Boards to discuss this item!
