It's probably the group in the convention comic since it is named after them.

Of course they won't a couple of them already exist. I see- Rodimus Prime,
behind him is Primal Prime (closed faceplate) and to left of that is Jetstorm,
right ahead of Rodimus is Obsidian, the middle midground is BM Snarl... TM
Tarantulus (FK Recolor?) The bird in the upper-left is Rav. Bottom-left is
Ramulus. There's a bat on the left side- looks more like Mindwipe than
Nightscream- but it probably Soundwave. Apelinq is right below Obsidian. next
to Ramulus is the Small Autobot Headmaster Pincher, robot-form. The big guy
next to Primal Prime APPEARS to be ultra Jetstorm (wha?) and between Snarl and
Apelinq is a TF I cant' quite identify. He's either BW or BM and has a
3-fingered hand... The rightmost figure nags at me, but I admit to having no
clue as to who he is.
All throughought the 'bottom' of the picture there simply is not enought
detial to make anything out.

No, its BC2001 Comic. No one would have it here, if it has been printed
already.

The only Transformers character named Pincher that I know of is the Autobot
Pretender.

No such bot. There's a small Autobot *Pretender* named Pincer but
I'm pretty sure he's not in the shot anyway.

Actually, I've seen some folks do a pretty good job on it.
Anyway, the new "Vehicon alert" feature on the Botcon Beyond page
pretty much gives them all away. It seems there are:
Apelinq
Primal Prime
Spittor (TM2)
Unknown TM Rattrap form (Packrat?)
Rav, Mol, and Dillo the Deployers
Hot Rod (Rodimus?)
Sonar
BM Snarl
Unknown TM2 BA form (new exclusive?)
Obsidian form (new charecter?)
Japanese Ravage figure
Deluxe Jetstorm form (new charecter?)
BM Mirage form (new charecter?)
Unknown Terrorsaur form (Fractyl?)
Ultra Jetstorm form (new charecter?)
Ramulus.
-ZacWilliam, thinking none of these guys would be bad
exclusives, per say (although it's too early for any of the BM ones)
but is himself bulling for a black and silver or green TM2 Megatron
repaint. That would kick A$$! :)

Oops- my bad. Yes, he's the pretender. Here's the pic I was workign from...
I blew it up and filtered it, then colored it selectivly to make the individual
figures more distinct...
http://www.geocities.com/regenesis0/bcwreckers.jpg
the uncolored character between Snarl (red) and Ramulus (yellow) is Pincer.
His helmet is VERY distinctive.
Anyone recignize the rightmost (red) character? Or the one bwtween Snarl
(red) and Apelinq (orange)?

Honestly, I can't make out anything in that mess.

The U.S. version is Powerpinch, the Japanese version is called Scissor Boy (no
joke), and the BotCon repaint is named Vice Grip.

Hot Rod (toy and show) does indead have the yellow fins behind his
head, they're just bigger when he's Rodimus is all. Since this is a
drawing, and subject to artistic license in details like that it's hard
to judge which he is.
-ZacWilliam, if I had to guess, I would say it IS probably
Rodimus though. Something about it just seems very mature to be Hot Rod

may be hotrod since he was just rereleased

re-releaeed in japan by takara, I highly doubt hasbro would go out of
its way to find the rodimus prime toy mold & then go through the trouble
of casting molds & then mass producing it. un-like takara who cares
about the fan base,hasbro is too lazy & is just in it for the money.

Yeah, right.
Hasbro is lazy and just in it for the money. Prove it.
The only things Hasbro has done this year is give us a toy line with
innovative gimmicks, slick designs and NEW molds. They've also authorized
Rhino to release TF:TM on DVD, and Hot Topic to distribute G1 T-shirts and
baseball caps. They've worked hand-in-hand with the Hartmans to produce
Botcon exclusives, and had Blockbuster put out MTMTE on video.
Takara has released repaints of toy molds not six months old, like the Super
Car Bros; the Crystal SFC/GodMag giftpack, and Devil Gigatron. They
re-re-re-released Optimus Prime, rereleased Ultra Magnus (once in regular
colors, once in urine-yellow) and Hotrod (red, crystal and black). Their
finances are in bad shape, so next year they'll rerelease Brave toys.
In their defence, they did release some really nice toys this year, but G2
Gobots? A recolour of a 2,900Y toy less than a year after its first release
(That's Devil Gigatron, BTW)?
If anything, TAKARA is lazy; proven by their fanatical devotion to 10+ year
old molds. And how much engineering goes into a PVC?
As always, flame away!

Eh? Hot Rod's arms are identical to Rodimus Prime's.
