I like the colors as well. But I don't have space for repaints.

Bird mode looks hawt and i really like that purple-y-blue Energon.
hope this ends up being something attainable (kicks self for missing out on Shadowhawk Cosmo type)
Nevermore

Or it might be a generic store exclusive like Universe Snowcat and Downshift
Triformis
bleh.

There's only a couple obvious options that I see right now:
1. A repaint for Cybertron "Jungle Planet", though the mold having no support for a key doesn't work too well for that.
2. A club exclusive, or a Botcon exclusive outside of the main set, though it doesn't seem to closely resemble any known BW characters. Perhaps a new character for the con story?

Curious…. I wonder what it'll end up being.
Even if it was said that the convention set has only Cybertron molds, it doesn't mean that other convention exclusives will also be Cybertron molds. But I'd be surprised to see that many molds (5 from the set, the posibility of a Megatron and this Divebomb) used on this year's convention.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

It could be another Universe release. The line isn't quite done yet as we've yet to see the Micromaster Areialbots.
REDLINE
if that's true, then I'm glad he is ugly LOL
Galaxy Convoy
My guess is that's it's a Club Store exclusive. It doesn't fit in with anything else.
unafraid
Given the colors, I think it's either Barfotron or Pukobot.

I figure I'll be the first to ask this but are we even sure this is going to be a Botcon exclusive? I dont recall anything being mentioned and I thought they were going for pre crash landing on Earth BW figs in which case this would make no sense, not to mention Airazor came along later. Not that I would mind this done as Airazor but I think were jumping the gun a bit on this speculation.
As for the toy itself it looks not bad, not great but not bad, as a Con exclusive I think it would be ok, other then that I would probably pass on this though.
Sonscreen
Hmm, I wonder if an Energon Sharkticon repaint is far behind. I was a fan of those two molds.
REDLINE
man, why couldn't they have painted him up orange like the predacon?? I'm really not digging the brown and blue feathers at all. which sucks cause I LOVE the mold.
Pete Sync
Whoa, hold on. I am not the guy in charge, that's Brian. But, I do a ton with the Convention Set in many aspects. That said, as mentioned earlier, this toy is NOT Dinobot. It is a cool looking toy though….
unafraid
Thought it could have been Dinobot too, but it's not a vehicle, so…
Foster
Interesting, but still just a repaint. Pass.
Steevy Maximus
I have doubts that it will be a con figure, for reasons already stated.
If this will be released, I think it is entirely possible that it is part of some exclusive.
Hasbro is bringing back Battlepacks for Star Wars for this christmas season for all retailers, perhaps they are examining the concept for Transformers? (a deluxe and a couple basics for $20 or so?)
Colors looks as though they are inteded to go with Command Ravage..
It could also be an abandoned toy like the Drench and Smokescreen homaged Armada figures
Deadend
Considering it lacks two things for both the convention and cybertron line, I'd lean towards universe or some other offshoot type line.
As mentioned, no golden disc.
As not really mentioned yet, no Cybertron Cyberkey slot.
Plus the inclusion of the energon star and weapons. No remolded parts really as of yet. This figure is odd in where it could go. But it doesn't really fit with anything currently being released.

I thought the Botcon Beast Wars exclusives were going to be remolded/repainted Cybertron figures….
It would be cool if this Divebomb repaint is supposed to be filler for the Cybertron line.
If not, and he is part of the Beast Wars set, he really should be Terrorsaur…and NOT have those colors in the pic.
EDIT: And he should have a remolded head.
