New York Comic Con, a ReedPop convention which in 2019 featured Han Cholo, Hasbro, Super7 and IDW Publishing, announced the following details about its 2020 event:

In place of the physical event:

Hey NYCC fans, check out this message from our team regarding the status of New York Comic Con 2020.

Nice, more Go-Bots referential redecos.

Even though the lack of tribal purple markings is more accurate to the original toy they really do spice it up and make it look better in my opinion.

I wonder why they didn\'t pop a mercenary faction sticker on the sheet?
WhiteMocha
It is! It makes me wish it came with a double sticker set, so you could use a set for both.
Wonder if Toyhax will make a Bugbite set. They've been reluctant to do Botcon-based stuff before (at least SG).

The sticker of bugbite is perfect to fit GS Bug Bite.
Sness
Time to buy an entire model kit just to get stickers for a small toy
Black Convoy
Bugbite packaging and sticker sheet that seems to work on Generations Selects Bugbite too!

Ey, looking good!
I like to see them trying to get the most out of each kit.
WhiteMocha
I really want that Bugbite. Fingers crossed it’s not super limited.
YoungPrime
Good question! You would think this would be where 86SS would be able to shine (since it was nowhere to be found last weekend). But who knows…
Triceradon
Does Hasbro have a panel at this?
