Pete’s Robot Covention has revealed via their facebook page mock-ups of the original proposal for BotCon 2016’s Beast Wars: Uprising theme.

Of the revealed concepts, only the old 3H concept of TM3 Megaton ultimately saw release, as it was decided by Hasbro that the set should use Combiner Wars molds. While the set remained Beast Wars: Uprising themed for a time, ultimately the unpropitious decision was made for the convention comic to be published by IDW and take place in their Beast Wars continuity with the much-maligned “Dawn of the Predacus” comic.

While some of these concepts have been revealed before, several are previously unseen. Here we catch a glimpse of what FunPub’s original proposal entailed.



Story: War has gripped Cybertron for millions of years, the deadly stalemate threatening to wipe Cybertronian civilization from existence. Both Autobot and Decepticon, their ranks depleted, have turned to creating a new generation of fighters to carry on the conflict. These Maximals and Predacons are thus forced into a lethal battle not of their making, forced to arm themselves and continue a war that they know nothing about. As the struggle rages, groups on both sides of the battlefield realize that their true enemies stand not before them, but behind them as the oligarchy at home. A new war looms, a BEAST WARS… The uprising has begun!
