BotCon 2009 took fans back to the early days of the Autobot Elite Guard, delivering a retro-inspired box set filled with never-before-seen characters from the G1 pre-Earth era. Held in Pasadena, California, the event’s theme—Wings of Honor—focused on a forgotten generation of Cybertronian heroes and gave collectors bold redecos of Classics and Universe molds in homage to obscure lore and classic color schemes.
Razorclaw & Elita-1 – Cybertron Leobreaker and Energon Arcee redecos
Elita-1 (variant) – Pink version of Energon Arcee
Thunderclash (Custom Class) – Same mold as box set version, often with minor deco or part variations
This year also expanded on Fun Publications' Wings Universe continuity, tying in figures to broader fiction involving the Elite Guard, Predacons, and G1 Cybertron's wartime structure. The inclusion of Leozack and Skyquake thrilled fans of Transformers: Victory and European G1, while Thunderclash became a breakout star thanks to his over-the-top lore.
