BotCon

==BotCon-exclusive toys==
===1990s===

*'''1994'''
**'''[[Breakdown]]''' - Turquoise and lavender ''Transformers: Generation 2'' version of the [[Stunticon]] Breakdown. This toy was initially intended as a mass-release toy, but was distributed as a convention exclusive instead. A number of these toys were distributed the same year at a convention run by Whiz Bang toys.

*'''1995'''
**'''[[Nightracer]]''' - Black redeco of Go-Bot [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. Nightracer is the first canonical female [[Decepticon]] released in the United States. The toy itself is in the same plastic colors as Go-Bot Bumblebee without the vehicle mode's metallic gold paint deco, but with a silver faceplate in robot mode and engine in vehicle mode. The convention's organizer, [[Raksha|Jovanka "Raksha" Kink]], hand-applied Decepticon logo stickers and painted blue racing stripes on the toys. A number of these toys turned up for sale by Whiz Bang toys without the decals, painted stripes, or packaging. Possibly for their 1995 convention.

*'''1996'''
**'''[[Onyx Primal]]''' - Black redeco of bat [[Optimus Primal]]. Available in regular, dealer, and VIP box variations. This toy was also used as the exclusive for Men In Black's own convention, Transcon II (they consider BotCon 1996 as Transcon I) in 1997 in a fourth package variation.

*'''1997'''
**'''[[Packrat]]''' and '''[[Fractyl]]''' - Blue and green redecos of [[Rattrap]] and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] respectively, packaged together.

*'''1997 Japan'''
**'''[[Super Hybrid Model]] [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]''' - A non-transforming vinyl action figure. This toy was also available in a translucent orange "Lava Bath" version to the 1st 100 attendees.

*'''1998'''
**'''[[Antagony]]''' - Black redeco of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] (ant).
**'''[[Vice Grip]]''' - Blue redeco of [[Powerpinch]] (earwig).

**'''[[Sandstorm (BW)|Sandstorm]]''' - Tan redeco of ''Beast Wars'' Scorponok.
**'''[[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]]''' - White redeco of ''Beast Wars'' [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]].

===2000s===

*'''2000'''
**'''[[Apelinq]]''' - Silver redeco of [[Transmetal]] Optimus Primal.
**'''[[Shokaract]]''' - Blue and copper redeco of [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]].

*'''2000 Japan'''
**'''Choro-Q [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]''', Generation 2 '''[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]''', and '''[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]'''. These were non-transforming miniature vehicles redecoed from Takara's Choro-Q line.

*'''2001'''
**'''[[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]''' - White and pink redeco of [[Transmetal 2]] [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]].  This was the first BotCon exclusive to feature remolded parts, as the figure's chest was modified to look more robotic. A number of these also had a light activated voice chip installed in the package containing dialogue by Susan Blu, the original voice actress for Arcee.
**'''[[Tigatron]]''' - Blue and white redeco of the Japanese-exclusive ''[[Beast Wars Metals]]'' X-9 [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] figure.

*'''2002'''
**'''[[CatSCAN]]''' - White and translucent red redeco of [[Cheetor (BW)|Night Slash Cheetor]].
**'''[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]''' - Purple redeco of ''[[Beast Machines]]'' Ultra Jetstorm.
**'''[[Glyph (G1)|Glyph]]''' - Blue redeco of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].
**'''[[Tap-Out (G1)|Tap-Out]]''' - Green redeco of [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]. Given away free as part of registration package.

*'''2002 Europe'''
**'''[[Rook (Universe)|Rook]]''' - Grey redeco of [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], originally a European exclusive, later given away in the United States as well.

*'''2004'''
**'''Action Master G2 [[Breakdown]]''' - While OTFCC was held this year, the Hartman Brothers held their own "BotCon" convention, at which this toy was available. An [[Action Master]] likeness of the original BotCon exclusive, Generation 2 Breakdown, the figure is a redeco of the previously European-exclusive Action Master [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] (as both Sideswipe and Breakdown transformed into Lamborghinis). This fan-produced toy is not a Hasbro-sanctioned product, and as such is not official ''per se''. In fact, convention organizers had to very carefully check the packaging of this figure to ensure that no Hasbro trademarks were used.

*'''2005'''
**'''"Descent into Evil"''', a seven-figure box set, including:
***'''[[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]''' - Blue redeco of '''Robots in Disguise''' Megatron with a new head sculpt.
***'''[[Buzzclaw (Timelines)|Buzzclaw]]''' and '''[[Dirge (Descent into Evil)|Dirge]]''' - Purple, black and yellow redecos (in different schemes for each figure) of '''Beast Wars''' [[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]].
***'''[[Outback|Fallback]]''' - Brown, tan, and silver redeco of [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]], intended as a renamed version of the G1 character Outback.
***'''[[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]''' - Red and grey redeco of '''Energon''' [[Tow-Line (Energon)|Tow-Line]] with a new head sculpt.
***'''[[Ricochet (Descent into Evil)|Ricochet]]''' - Black and red redeco of the ''Generation 2'' Cyberjet [[Hooligan]] mold, a new character.
***'''[[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]]''' - White and green redeco of ''Energon'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] with a new head sculpt. Chromia was one of the female Autobots from the Generation One series. However, many fans have pointed out that Chromia's color scheme, headsculpt, and personality profile all resemble [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], a different character entirely. According to convention representatives, they could not secure the Moonracer name, so they simply dubbed the character Chromia instead.
**'''[[Flamewar]]''' - Black redeco of ''Energon'' Arcee, given free to pre-registered attendees. Flamewar does not have the new headsculpt found on Chromia and Flareup.
**'''[[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]]''' an orange redeco of Chromia, and '''[[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]''' a white redeco of the ''Energon'' Tow-Line mold with the new Ironhide headsculpt and a new Energon weapon, sold together in a pack.
**'''[[Virulent Clone]]'''s - A pack of two blue redecos of ''Beast Wars'' Buzzclaw.
**'''''Legends of Cybertron'' [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]]''' - White and blue redeco of Legends of Cybertron Starscream given away at the Hasbro booth.

Hoist's head is highly evocative of Dinobot. Also bears a Predacon sigil.

***'''[[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]''' - A redeco of [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. Colored to resemble the original Beast Wars Rhinox.

===Proposed/Unreleased Exclusives===
A number of toys were planned over the years but never produced, for various reasons.  Note that some of these entries are essentially jokes from the organizers' brainstorming sessions, which they then later mentioned to other fans:
*[[Cataclysm]], a green and purple redeco of Transmetal [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. This character actually appeared in the convention storyline and was thought to be the lower priced exclusive in 2000 until Apelinq was revealed instead.  It is unclear whether or not Cataclysm was ever truly intended to be released, however.
*Optimal Rodimus Primal, mentioned by the Hartmans at the organizer's panel at Botcon 2000, this would have been an updated version of Rodimus Prime made from the Optimal Optimus mold. Plans were nixed very early on as Primal Prime was going into its limited production run and Hasbro didn't give licensees the leeway they now enjoy. Optimal Rodimus Primal's events in the Wreckers storyline were revised for Primal Prime and Rodimus instead
*Lickme, a redeco of Spittor as a Poison Arrow Frog. Function: Psychological Warfare. Mentioned at the BotCon '99 Organizers Panel.
*Jai-Alai, a black redeco of Manterror. Function: Ninja. Mentioned at the BotCon '99 Organizers Panel.
*[[Hot Spot (Last Autobot)|Hot Spot]], a blue redeco of [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime]] as a new Autobot leader modelled after the Generation One character. The toy would have featured a new headsculpt for the robot's larger "[[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]" mode. This toy was originally solicited for OTFCC 2004, then pushed back for OTFCC 2005. When the license was removed from Hallit, this figure was cancelled.
*[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], a red redeco of [[Megatron (RID)|Robots in Disguise Megatron]] as an upgraded (and resurrected) Beast Wars Megatron. This toy would have featured a new headsculpt. Designs of this toy were part of 3H's OTFCC 2005 proposal, which never happened.
*[[Devcon]], a blue redeco of [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Energon Slugslinger]] as the Generation One character. This toy would have featured a new headsculpt. Designs of this toy were part of 3H's OTFCC 2005 proposal, which never happened.
*[[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], a green redeco of [[Strongarm (Energon)|Energon Strongarm]] as the Generation One character. This toy would have featured a new headsculpt and snap on Energon gauntlets. Designs of this toy were part of 3H's OTFCC 2005 proposal, which never happened.
*[[Roadbuster]], an orange and green redeco of Energon Strongarm as the Generation One character. This toy would have featured a new headsculpt and Energon rifle. Designs of this toy were part of 3H's OTFCC 2005 proposal, which never happened.
*Blue Balls Attack Team, from an anecdote shared by Karl Hartman on the now defunct Botcon Beyond message board, a planning session for Botcon had run much later than anticipated and an exhausted Hartman proposed a pair of blue repaints of Beast Wars Retrax. Obviously not a serious proposal.
*[[Sentinel Prime]], originally conceived as the Cybertron Defense Hot Shot redeco for 2007.  He was dropped in favor of Springer, who fit the mold and the story/theme better.
