Well, the normal ones wouldn't, but the people who sleep outside at SDCC for the hope of getting into their preferred Hall H panel certainly could. This is a fancy camping tent, not a little pop-up shelter. It's got four distinct sides, a sculpted vent or screen window on the top, flaps for a door, and spikes at each corner to anchor the tent to the ground - a feature that would work a lot better out in nature than on a cement sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p><i>BotBots<\/i> are easy to convert, because they're tiny and made of fun: split the top of the tent out to the sides, swing out the arms, and fold down the legs. Finito!<\/p>\n<p><i>An in-depth conversation with Vigitente. When the night is cold and the line is long, there's only one bot you can count on. Join her as she details <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tfbb3_ccll_vt2.jpg\" title=\"Vigitente (shown twice actual size)\" width=\"280\" height=\"215\" align=left style=\"margin:0px 10px 0px 0px\">her daring adventures as a night watch vigilante.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>In the package, Vigitente's flaps are folded down flat against her head, but the instructions would have you spread them behind her - the sculpted details on the inside suggest they're missile launchers? Heavy ordnance for a flimsy robot! The shape of the head is kinda of reminiscent of G1 Megatron's helmet - something that may be furthered by the green \"Generation 2\"-ish colorscheme and the bit of sculpted detail on the chest. She's got a silly look on her face, and the shoulders are balljoints.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tfbb3_ccll_vt3.jpg\" title=\"official art\" width=\"230\" height=\"175\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/p>\n<p>Vigitente was a new mold when this set was released, but it was also used soon after in Series 3 to create Mal Content.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"A Rose By Any Other Name Would Still Be More Than Meets The Eye\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2007\/01\/a-rose-by-any-other-name-would-still-be-more-than-meets-the-eye\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A Rose By Any Other Name Would Still Be More Than Meets The Eye<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Transformers Tuesday: City Commander instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2009\/03\/transformers-tuesday-city-commander-instructions\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Transformers Tuesday: City Commander instructions<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' through Previews - January '13\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2013\/01\/flippin-through-previews-january-13\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' through Previews - January '13<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' through Previews - May '13\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2013\/05\/flippin-through-previews-may-13\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' through Previews - May '13<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' Through Previews - July '10\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2010\/07\/flippin-through-previews-july-10\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' Through Previews - July '10<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hasbro brought a Transformers BotBots exclusive with them to San Diego Comic-Con this year: the \"Con Crew\" set, which features 'bots from three different factions: the Fantastic Fuelers, the Meet n' Greets, and the Line League. &lt;i&gt;And now, some more &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2019\/12\/transformers-botbots-vigitente-exclusive-review\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,8,135],"tags":[367,14],"class_list":["post-29922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-exclusive-review","category-hasbro","category-sdcc","tag-sdcc-2019","tag-transformers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29922"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45629,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29922\/revisions\/45629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
