Brawl (Transformers, Hasbro, 2007)
Brawl is a Decepticon covered in guns; he is a gun; he turns into a vehicle known for its gun; his guns have guns. Presumably his bullets fire lasers that cause explosions. And when none of that works, he has some Predator knives on his other wrist he can use to carve the Thanksgiving turkey.
(Unlike yesterday’s Ironhide, I was not able to find a Brawl at Botcon for less than $50. I paid $95 for this figure so I could complete my movie Decepticons. I’d say it was worth it, especially when it seems to be fetching $200+ prices on eBay.)
Hasbro has released official views of Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Voyager Soundwave and his repainted counterpart Soundblaster. Soundwave’s design is essentially a larger version of his design from the previous Transformers War for Cybertron video game.
The new feature with this mold, though, is that instead of cassettes, each figure will come with a disc, which may be launched from the chest and transform upon impact.
Soundwave and Soundblaster can store up to three discs at a given time.

Submarauder (Transformers, Hasbro, 1988)
While the Autobot 1988 Pretenders were uniformly men-in-spacesuits, the Decepticon Pretenders got to be awesome monsters blessed with ridiculous 1988 color schemes. Submarauder was - other than Landmine - the only G1 figure I got at Botcon this year. (His alternate mode is supposed to be a submarine, BTW)
