Probably none since the fan is likely a profesional that's been compensated, otherwise companies don't typically make a big deal about outsourced designers unless they're a big name.
I'm more curious what this means for the upcoming leader version since this is being called an exclusive design.

The upcoming leader is why I canceled the DNA upgrade kit for Takara Primal. I am expecting Primal with just a new ape head there.
As for this, this looks amazing. I have it up for preorder on BBTS right now, but I may switch to Show-Z once it comes in stock, they were $10 cheaper on the Prime figure and free shipping on any order there is great, plus the points.

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen more about Prime and Megatron.

BotCon ‘24 Yolopark Transformers EXCLUSIVE - Delta Magnus Vs Sunstorm.
This 2 figure “House of Magnus” AMK Transformers BotCon Vs set is included with ALL Premium packages.
Stay tuned for a week full of reveals as we announce our artist alley lineup, additional details on various BotCon events, and the BotCon ‘24 Badge/Lanyard, Exclusive Pin Set, and 24x36 Animated Poster.
Visit BotCon.com for all the show info! BotCon ‘24 June 27-30 Fort Wayne, Indiana. Kids 12 & Under are FREE!
That's right, everyone! This year's exclusive figure set is the first fully-licensed Transformersᵀᴹ product released at BotCon since 2016 eight years ago. You can see all the legal Hasbro info and logos on the front and back of the box.
It just happens to be of the NON-transforming variety and not made by Hasbro themselves, but it's still a big step in the right direction.

And we continue to wait for a proper Sunstorm from Hasbro...

This is based specifically on something from IDW1, the House of Magnus, of which Delta Magnus was a member. There is to be a convention comic that will likely tell the story of these two, but we'll have to wait and see if the comic is licensed too or not.Emerje wrote:Huh, weird that they could have gone all e-Hobby with this set but instead chose to name it Delta Magnus instead of Magna Convoy.
There is no properly armored Ultra Magnus figure from which the armored version of Delta could have been made, so they went with the naked version instead, using the same logic as all those many nude Ultra Magnus toys we've gotten in the past that were just white Optimus cab redecos.
"Delta Magnus" has essentially become the main Transformers name for Diaclone Powered Convoy, and the inner cab robot is just as much a part of that. Simple as that.

I know all that, I just thought it was strange for them to go all "naked Delta Magnus" and then pair him with "e-Hobby Sunstorm" when they could have gone all in on an e-Hobby set and make it Magna Convoy. Knowing they're producing a comic to go with this answers that.
