Fub Publications have updated the Botcon website with two new images of their Obsidian exclusive figure from this years set. When the toy was first shown off, the figure's colour scheme was based upon the original toy, however it seems, from this photoshopped mock-up, that fan reaction has caused them to re-think the colour scheme so that the toy will now be decoed to look much closer to the CGI animated show. You can view the new images below and all of the Botcon 2013 images after the jump.

The official Botcon Twitter account brings us some more Botcon 2013 news - they have posted an image of the Botcon 2013 baseball cap. The Botcon 2013 Baseball cap features the Megaplex version of the Decepticon symbol with Fun Publication's take on Machine Wars Thundercracker in front of it. Like in the original line, their illustration of Machine Wars Thundercracker is a redeco of Skywarp - in other words, it is based upon the Revenge of the Fallen Dirge mold.
An illustration does not a toy make, however you might be interested in an exchange of tweets between one Twitter user and Botcon:
- From Twitter user Emerald Beacon - so you're basically confirming MW Thundercracker with this hat, right?
-Response from Botcon - Basically...

Botcon.com was updated yesterday with the first image of Machine Wars Megaplex. The toy is a straight recolour of Transformers Prime Dreadwing in the colour scheme of the original Megaplex figure. This means that a Megatron recolour is likey to also be a straight recolour without a new head which will be a shame and if that toy does have a new head then it will destroy the purpose of Megaplex in the first place. You can view the image below with all of the Botcon 2013 images being available after the jump.
