Sorry Jamar, I've not had a chance to look into the Shooter project properly. I will get in touch with the guy in the New Year and see what he has available.

But time is against us and this is a golden opportunity, but again I'll need to get pre-orders to make it happen. I want to add a new head, clamshell, insert, accessories and a stand. I'll try to keep it under £15 if possible, £20 max.

seems they are already out so no need to try and use that figure boss as that would not make a nice RCRO4 figure

darn, what a shame, wish these people would think of these smaller conventions

They could be producing a lot of these for all these smaller conventions and really helping them

I don't have time to organise anything else for April (don't quote me on that date!) though, I might get the Collectors Guide ready if I knuckle under but not sort out a figure from scratch as well. I had pretty much given up on doing a figure for this year until today.

I know about the ebay thing and it's cool, but this is still a golden opportunity and Chris is being more than generous. A different head will work wonders. He sent me a pic of the figure alongside the 3 Vacation in the Shadows figures and suddenly it looks a whole lot cooler!

Pictured with the rest it does look good so I would be interested in one as a non-attendee exclusive.

Agreed, looks supercool next to the others.

They look okay, but the thing that bothers me is that they don't imply a Transformers crossover like Pretender :kraken:, Dreadnought and the SNAKEs did. I know :baron: didn't imply a crossover either, but he was in a RORC that also included crossover-implying figs.
Of course, the solution is simple: instead of a crossover figure, just having a TF exclusive too. It's so easy to repaint a Megatron G1 as Xaaron!
Now, about the name for the :enemy: BAT-like robots, I suggest Stealth Hideous Android Destroyer Of Warriors.

The problem is DA to mass produce the Megatrons in Xaaron colours will take awhile and will probably not be ready for RORC and the cost to buy them as well.

Guys - the problems not in the timing, the problems in the doing!! It's easy to say "repaint an Optimus" or something similar, but doing it is another thing entirely! This fig would be the BFtB offering, like the Baron last year. Dave will have his own plans.
