The Botcon website was updated yesterday with the brochure for Botcon 2008. Amoungst the pages of the document is the background story to this years set.
"This year’s chronicle shatters everything you thought you knew about Transformers! Here is a universe you never expected... On a world known as Cybertron, a ruthless and cruel tyrant prepares his army for an all out attack. Their destination: a planet, rich in resources, known as Earth! Only a small band of rebels stands between this evil warlord and his plans for universal conquest. If these brave soldiers are unable to stop the attack, then there will be nothing to prevent this shattered universe from falling victim to the maniacal Optimus Prime and his evil
legion of... Autobots? This is truly a malformed universe where the Decepticons are heroic and the Autobots are evil! Coming this spring, the battle lines will be drawn and a new champion will emerge. A young and noble Decepticon will stand up and fight for freedom, the freedom, which is the right of all Transformers! Advising him will be his trusted lieutenant Starscream, and his fellow virtuous Decepticons. They will fight to the very last to stop the spread of Optimus Prime’s tyranny! Don’t miss this outstanding collection of Transformers figures as it is a one-of-a-kind “must have” for every Transformers Fan’s collection"
