Botcon has revealed the fifth 2016 exclusive figure. The fifth reveal is BotCon’s version of General Sea Clamp of the Tripredacus Council. He’ll be a part of the Botcon 2016 Dawn of the Predacus set along with Cicadacon, Ramhorn, Ravage, and Tarantulas.
This figure uses the Combiner Wars Silverbolt mold with a newly designed head. Together the five figures in this convention’s box set will combine to form the Predacus combiner figure.
Check out the reveal and share your thoughts with the discussion link below.

No combined form yet. They said a while back on Twitter that the combined form would be shown shortly before registration goes live.
So I've been eagerly awaiting the combined form
Honestly I'd be surprised if Takara didn't release that as a Unite Warriors set.
Although that could make a mean SDCC set for Hasbro next year, too.

Sorry to bump a thread, but have we seen the combined form yet? I just realized it's been a while and I don't recall seeing it.
Also, I had an idea for the attendee exclusives… What if, in addition to celebrating BW 20th anniversary, they also celebrate RID's 15th? BW vs RID? I just want to see Fire Convoy done before the CW molds get retired…

Ditto. Bonus points if the combiner has the Diagnostic Drone head. I was originally going to say it should have giant head-ship Megatron's head, but that's more like a Titan Wars toy.

See, I liked Machine Wars, only Botcon set I liked enough to get the whole set of, but to each his own.
UltraPrimal
Yeah. I'd dig that. And it would save me from having to buy that awful Machine Wars set just to get Obsidian and Strika. If the add-on sets are not Magnaboss, I'd be OK with this.
Although, I guess this would be like a "What If" BM version of the Vehicon Generals since Jetstorm, Tankor, and Thrust weren't created until BM. And I guess I still need that Obsidian and Strika for my pre-BW shelf either way.
Thundershot
Jetstorm from the Cyclonus version makes more sense. Other than that, those are great ideas…
Verno
There's a lot of logic to that. Any thoughts on a name?
Johntimus Prime
Related to the topic, I think it would have been brilliant if they'd homaged Beast Machines with the five main Vehicon generals.
Jetstorm as Silverbolt's mold (also would be an amusing extra reference for Beast fans given Jetstorm's spark in BM)
Tankor from Brawl, Obsidian from Alpha Bravo, Thrust from Groove (if Fun Pub had the rights to that mold), and Strika from Rook.
Damn, now I want this set I just came up with.
Verno
We're having some Beast Wars-related fun while we wait for more news. Feel free to join in.
T-Hybrid
Huh.
Remember when this threas was about Beast Wars?
Verno
From memory, it has more red paint on it than the US version of the toy. That works out well for FB, who would have bought the paint in bulk.
UltraPrimal
Actually, Magnaboss was in the cartoon…
…in the Japanese Beast Wars the Second cartoon.
Verno
We have a winner
Ikkstakk
Well, if they use the Optimus mold to homage Ultra Mammoth/Magnus, he'll be blue-chested…
I'm not sure that isn't the joke, as Magnaboss was never seen on screen.
Verno
It is actually…
Warpshard
The picture you posted isn't working.
EDIT: I got the joke.
Verno
If FunPub believe their Predacus toys to be screen accurate, then we assume they'll be doing the same thing a screen accurate Magnaboss:
Johntimus Prime
If the souvenir sets form Magnaboss, as seems to be the running theory, I now hope he looks like Captain America in casual hipster clothes.
