Men in Black, who had previously created the Onyx Primal exclusive for BotCon 1996, wanted to make two exclusives for their non-licensed Transcon2 convention in 1997. Albitron and Swoop, repaints of the original Beast Wars Megatron and Terrorsaur respectively, would have been available singly as well as in a two-pack.
However, Men in Black violated their contract and solicited the toys in two full-page ads before they had gotten approval for them from Hasbro, which led Hasbro to turn down the proposal. Only one (hand-painted) mock-up of the Albitron toy is known to exist.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
