The 'Bots and The 'Cons

Transformers Animated: "The 'Bots" and Transformers Animated: "The 'Cons" were a pair of lithographs available exclusively at BotCon 2011. Each featured twenty-six profiles for characters from Animated and its supporting media presented in a "Generation 1" tech spec style. While many of these profiles were created for the convention's exclusive toys, and others for The AllSpark Almanac, some were written up specifically for the lithographs.
