This year's botcon toy set is based on G2 toys, the first is a new version of Pyro (renamed Spark)

Botcon.com has had a major update today, with a Generation 2 template and artwork for Spark and Clench (apparently a Universe 2.0 Onslaught redeco w/ a new head) on the main page. Also revealed today is the third exclusive, Streetwise (Universe 2.0 Prowl redeco). (Previously revealed, besides Spark, was Breakdown, a Universe 2.0 Sideswipe/Sunstreaker redeco w/ a new head.) Strongly rumored is another Universe 2.0 Prowl redeco as Rapido, either in one of the bagged sets or as your "free" exclusive for attending the convention.
Also the brochure for the convention went up about a week ago. No news on guests, but apparently there's a Kennedy Space Center tour on Wednesday for $110/person. The brochure also reveals that the fifth exclusive in the boxset will be, interestingly enough, the RID Predacon Sky-Byte. Interesting to see how they'll fit him in...
So, is anyone else here going to Botcon this year, or am I the only one?

Isn't it in like Florida or some place this year? If so, I'm definitely not coming close to going there. Have to wait for it to come up north again. Botcon sadly seems to favor states further south, like California and Florida. We're in New York so it's too far away.

I wont be coming, it would cost too much to get to the US, let alone get a hotel at a Disney resort, AND get some toys, and bring them home again
I'll settle (lol) for Auto Assembly

I'm still working on earning some extra money but I'm definately going.
I live only an hour from where Botcon's going to be and I'll probably not get another chance to go again (at least not like this!)
