"Non-Attending registrations now sold out. If there are any leftover attending sets we will turn them into non-attending sets (closer to the event) as we must keep those in stock for fans that want to travel to the event.
So, if you don't get a non-attending set now, we will let you know in the future when (if any) additional sets become available."

Botcon have revealed their third exclusive figure from the 2014 convention boxset as Devcon. Devcon is a retool of the Generations Scourage figure and will be relased as another member of the "Knight" faction. Devcon is based on the character from the Generation One cartoon episode "The Gambler" and has been a planned exclusive at two previous Botcons, the most recent being in 2005 when he was going to be released as a recolour of Energon Slugslinger when 3H still held the license. They lost their license and so that incarnation of the toy was never released. The original Botcon figure was going to be a recolour of the Machine Wars Mirage toy. They toy was also not released but a handpainted mockup, painted by a former Hasbro lead deco painter, was made and photographed for the Botcon website. It use to be owned by the Hartmans but they sold the figure to us back in December 2008 where it has been featured in a toy gallery ever since.

Botcon have tweeted out the first official image of Cannonball the first figure in the 2014 set. The toy is a recolour of Transformers Prime Ratchet but with a new head which is based on Cybertron Red Alert who was previous recoloured into Cannonball in a previous years Botcon set
Below is the tweet they sent out.
In an reply to one of the posts the TFCC have confirmed that this will be the only Transformers Prime figure used in the boxset (they replied to another tweet to specifically state boxset meaning that you can expect at least one more Transformers Prime figure in the bagged sets.) but also hinted (so treat it as confirmed) that there will be Classics and Energon figures also used.
