It seems the new issue of Master Collector contains another hint that the Universe Seacon repaints will indeed finally find a home with the Transformers Collector's Club. TFW2005 member Beastbot X received a copy in the mail and says that an image of Piranacon repaint graces the cover of the issue, in his Universe colour scheme - Here's what Beastbot X had to say:

So just in case there was any doubt that we were getting the Seacons as a Club Exclusive or that they'd be in their Universe color scheme, there ya go.

More information as it becomes available, stay tuned to Seibertron.com.

WOOT!

Make a Sig Skowl!

Woot!

And there was much rejoicing.

Especially for Skowl.

Well, hopefully that kills the rumor that he's going to be next year's botcon set.

Not a big fan of the peachy parts. But hey they are the Seacons and in any color scheme just as sweet.

I wonder how much $$$ the club is going to ask for them.

This was rumored to NOT be a club exclusive!?!

As far as I knew, this was always the case.

Being new to this and all... and being a 1st time member of the club... who are the other combiners that I have to get to complete this set?

Wow. We're finally getting a chance to get these. I just hope you don't have to be a member to get it. (I'll pay the non-member price, gladly.)

I thought the Seacons were already confirmed months ago as TFCC exclusive... I for some reason remember reading about it here on seibertron.com anyway. Here's what Wikipedia says about it towards the bottom of their listing for this group:

Wikipedia wrote:The Universe Seacons have remained a subject of much conjecture and speculation in recent years, with a number of rumours swirling of their pending release. On July 25, 2007, as part of the overall redesign of the official Transformers Collectors Club website, there was confirmation that the figure would finally be made available to club members in 2007.

Nothing wrong with the Universe colour set!

I'll actually considering joining the club now.

I will buy these guys! Can't wait to find out more!

It was and wasn't. The Club confirmed that they were trying to get the set, and many fans began spreading a rumour of it potentially becoming a Botcon exclusive set.

This story puts that rumour to rest, and gives a small update on the situation, which is why I posted it.

This is great news. My membership has been flaky with the online store - I guess I better call them to get it fixed....woohooo....Seacons.

I still hope and pray for the Technobots.

this is enough to convince me to join

Nothing, as far as I know, these are going to be released as the complete set. All six Seacons, together. Which makes this release even more awesome. The Seacons haven't been released completely, since there first appearance in G1. Even the second run in gift set form back then was incomplete, missing Nautilator.

Ohh, and AFAIK its a TFCC exclusive. Although I wouldn't mind a general release of these.

Oh, and BTW, these are unrelated to the other TFCC exclusives, which have been remolded, recolored, versions of the Energon combiner parts. Haven't released the full set of those yet anyway.

Ohh.. OK.. that clears it all up. I am a TFCC member so I will be getting this. I was just confused because I was browsing through their online store and they had TFCC exclusive Combiners so I thought I had to buy all of those to take advantage of this release.

I understand now... Thanks!
