Thanks to the MasterShooter Collectibles Facebook page, we’ve received images of the second TFcon Charlotte exclusive offering from MasterShooter Collectibles: The Deceptive Mini Constructs! This exclusive three-pack will be offered at TFcon Charlotte this week and will feature Bonesaw, Scrap Hammer, and Pick Maxter.
This trio of figures are based on the Mini-Constructicons working for the Seeker Ramjet in the Transformers ongoing comic book. MasterShooter Collectibles have included a bio of the group as well.
Continue on after the jump for the images and bio of this TFcon Charlotte Exclusive!

Picked up a extra set on eBay today. Now I have six of them to go with the six Constructions!
Insane Galvatron
Yep, and then one of those bolts was added to the end of the large gun barrel to make it into a jackhammer.

Leftovers are up for sale now from MasterShooter Collectibles.
Scaleface
So anyone get these?
I hasn't even noticed that for Pick mAXter they cut off the crossbow bolts to make a pick ax from it.
MegaMoonMan
I'm pretty sure that feature is there because they WANT that feature there, as in even if these were remolded it would remain.
I'll take my TFs without silly religious iconography, thanks.
T-Logicon
I'd love to have those! Tiny tfs FTW!!!!!

The more tool inspired weapon modes are actually really neat, its a shame they all still have the molded crucifixes in the chest though. Although if these are made of leftover parts that would explain why such a bizarre feature is still there.

I'm not in the know, but I'm guessing MSC is just releasing it's leftovers from the big production runs as small convention exclusives.
The toys appear to be dyed and assembling with their spare parts from the retail MSC toys. It's just giving us some cool little collectibles made with the leftovers, and I appreciate them making them for those of us who REALLY want to see every toy in our collection get a Targetmaster. It's nice they bother making cardbacks, bios and showing up at cons with their toys and giving us a low-cost souvenir.

New heads would require new tooling that costs minimum $5,000. Considering there are only 45 sets to divide that cost over, it would make the cost per set increase over $112.
You also have to keep in mind that these show exclusives are just a fun extra built with the spare parts not used on the mass release stuff. Which is why they are so limited in number. There are only so many spare parts left over.

I don't think Trent Troop makes homages to TF characters in BMOG.
Counterpunch?
I've bought almost all of the MS releases so far, but I think I'll draw the line unless these are a good deal cheaper than their prior packs.
Without any changes, I'm just kind of fatigued from the designs.
This feels like the kind of thing that a BMOG style design could handle super well.

MegaDolrailer
This company continues to be one of the laziest 3P companies.
