BotCon 2007

BotCon 2007 is currently scheduled to be held from June 27 to July 1 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island.

Convention-exclusive toys
This year's Botcon exclusive box set is called Games of Deception!, and it will include Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge, Dreadwind and Bug Bite. All are slated to be redecoes of existing Classics figures.

Many fans were extremely angered by the news that the Seekers were to be part of the convention-exclusive set, as both Starscream and Skywarp were released at regular retail. There is no evidence that the convention Seekers would have been released through any other means, however.

Comics
The convention program will include a comic, also titled Games of Deception!. The Botcon brochure indicates that this story will revolve around a "mysterious Decepticon [making] his way towards Earth".

Voice actors
David Kaye

Comics and art
IDW Publishing
