BotCon is teasing the Transformers fans with info from the upcoming BotCon 2011.

It all started with… “BotCon 2011 convention set theme reveal is almost here. Big hint in issue 37 of the Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine.”

Followed by… “Just realized SO many stories and/or TF continuities (as a whole) were told in installments/seasons of 3... Well, get ready for Season 3.5!”

Answering a fan question, BotCon said… “Kind of. Hint as to where the story will take place, but the theme within the story, the set make up, soon.”

When asked “What series? G1? BW? TFA?” the answer was… “maybe, maybe and maybe.”

Just moments ago they revealed the Official Logo of BotCon 2011 via their FaceBook Page.

And to answer your questions… “Yup. BotCon is a real boy!”

ACToys has posted a couple of images of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Leader Class Bumblebee.

Also we are treated with a size comparison of Voyager Optimus Prime and Deluxe Starscream against a Reveal The Shield Mindset toy packaging. Judging by the comparison, both figures looks as though approximately 6 inches tall.

Take a look at the images and leave a thought.

ACToys has posted what appears to be the rumored Generations 3.0 Warpath toy we heard about not too long ago.

The image is kind of tiny, but from the looks it kind of resembles Transformers Classics 2.0 Legends Class Warpath.

What an exciting 24 hours that was… Transformers Fans worldwide tried to solve the mysterious theme behind this year’s BotCon. Using hints given by Twitter BotCon, everyone had so much fun trying to findout the answer.

Is the Answer Transformers: Animated?

BotCon updated his Twitter page with… “Veloxiraptor at TFW2005 nailed it. Cats out of the bag. Set ≠ expected”

It seems as though 2005 Boards member Veloxiraptor who said “"the figures will be very Animated", with a capital A. Pretty darn blatant”, got the answer after a fun filled search throughout last day or so.

The tweet was quickly followed by… “BotCon 2011 will feature Transformers Animated...” and... "DerrickJWyatt was instrumental in BotCon 2011 Convention set. Every Animated fan will want this set! More details to come at www.botcon.com"

Congratulations Veloxiraptor!

More images of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Leader Class Bumblebee and Deluxe Class Starscream has surfaced thanks to TransMY.

Information from that site tells us that there were no electronic equipment present inside Bumblebee figure. But, electronics were present inside the Mechtech Weapon System as revealed by Red Leader of 2005 Boards.

Shorter than Battle Ops Bumblebee, it is said that Leader Bumblebee features the head sculpt from its Human Alliance version. It is also said that Leader Class Bumblebee is much more screen accurate.

Regarding Deluxe Class Starscream, TransMY says that he carries very little underbelly robot kibble when in his Vehicle Mode (F-22 Raptor).

Remember the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure? What would you think if you saw a real life Chevrolet Camaro drive past you with a life-size Mechtech gun?

Well, here it is. From the looks, it seems as though a campaign for the upcoming Transformers 3 movie. Takara-Tomy Toy Forum brings us this photo. Behind the vehicle, we can spot what looks like a render of third Transformers Live Action Movie Bumblebee. Notice the vinyl on the hood (robot mode), it’s the new vinyl rather than the double striped ROTF vinyl.

TransMY has posted some images of upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Optimus Prime in various poses.

Onizuka of TransMY (the person who took the photos) says that though the figure is criticized, “the Voyager feels very sturdy when handled and has more points of articulation compared to Battle Blades Prime. The chest is not a faux cab, instead it is an armor plating covering the cab windows.”

He has also posted a side-by-side comparison with Transformers: Hunt For The Decepticons Voyager Class Battle Blades Optimus Prime.
