Botcon hasn't always been about massive box sets. In it's earliest forms,
Botcon would have 1 to maybe 3 exclusives a year. Some of those figures wound up being highly sought after and huge fan favorites. For today's Featured Ebay Auctions, we take a look at some of the exclusives from
Botcon's past.

We've got a double-whammy of news on the
Roll Out Roll Call 2012 convention which is taking place March 10 and 11 at the Jury's Inn in Southampton in the UK. First and foremost, new images and additional information on the Snake Armors comes to us from the fine people at
Transformers@The Moon. The new images show just how big this piece is - capable of going toe-to-toe with a Voyager Class Transformer! TF@TM also reports that in true Transformers style this G.I. Joe themed piece - based on the battlesuits used by Cobra in the Devil's Due G.I. Joe Vs Transformers comics - is also a Pretender shell that can fit Mini-cons inside it! Or, if you are in to G.I. Joe, it fits a 25th or 30th anniversary figure just fine too. These are limited to 30 versions of each deco.
Second, via Blot on our sister site
Hisstank, we have a look at a limited run exclusive custom Red Shadows Dreadnought. It's a modified War for Cybertron Cliffjumper with a new head, and it looks awesome. This one is a limited run of 25 pieces.
There's still time to pre-register for Roll Out Roll Call 2012! Head over to

BTS Toys has sent us even more images of their upcoming unofficial Ravage and Ratbat cassettes, Savage and Nightfang. These new images extensively show off the whole set and also include a brief glimpse at the combined mode with Tremor / Frequenzy. There are also some comparison images with the original versions of the characters.
Read on and check out all the new images.
If you like what you see, you can preorder both of these as a set at our sponsors
Big Bad Toy Store and
TFSource. The initial set of Frequenzy and Tremor are also in stock at
TFSource and
Big Bad Toy Store - we're informed these have now finished production so once they are gone restocks are unlikely.
