Lol, they got away with BWII Scylla, and she has at least six symbolically phallic barriers to femininity

I love the Hot Rod mold. Cant wait 2 get that one and the G2 Ramjet.

damn I have to pay to buy. Im not a comic reader so I have never joined. Hoe Ramjet is fair price. I only want him.

Oh good deal. I like the Classics Hot Rod mold. Good to see it's gonna get used for a different character. I'm gonna pass on the Ramjet and maybe Cheetor, I'll wait and see how he actually looks.

I will get G2 Ramjet and Side Burn, not interested in the Animated at all

AWESOME!

Cheetor using the Blurr mold is pretty awesome no doubt but is he really going to transform into a cheetah print future car??!
That's gonna be retarded.

The latest is March 16, 2011.

I haven't fully looked into joining yet, so let's see if I understand this correctly.
If I join right now, my membership would be from October 2010 to October 2011, I would not get Dion, but I would get Side Burn, I would have the option to buy Ramjet and Cheetor, and I would get the discount rate for Botcon 2011....does that sound right?

September 28 '10 to September 28 '11(if you did it today), but that's correct.

Take a look at BotCon 2006 Cheetor. Without spots it can be done.

Interior by Kraven The Hunter?

(Yes, I'm a comics geek too, it doesn't make me a bad person)

On topic, Ramjet is a must, not fussed about Animated and will reserve judgement on the Sideburn until I see a picture.

I just let my subscription run out too...

I've wanted to see Transtech toys for so long, and Cheetor is a personal favorite, so I guess I'll have to re-up. That's the only one I really am interested in, but I like the idea of that one A LOT.

Someone mentioned above that there was a custom of this figure? Can anyone provide a link?
Thanks

so you're going to use it as Classics Slipstream as well then?

Pretender Skywarp wrote:(Yes, I'm a comics geek too, it doesn't make me a bad person)

Yes is does, and yes you are.

How does the club work? These are sounding better, and I may actually have to join. You're just able to order them from the website? Or is one part of the membership?

We're going to have to fight each other for that Ramjet, aren't we?

One is included with membership price if joined before March 16(in this case Side Burn). The other two will be able to be purchased(and pre-ordered) from the Club Store online. Membership also includes 6 Club Mags a year and a discount on Botcon.

(Maybe someone will be a happy news admin when the postie comes?)

Well, looks like I might need to join the club again. They're basically making a toy of one of my fancharacters with that Blue Hot Rod. Hes just need a different head (the one I designed, of course) and to be a Micromaster, lol. plus, Speedbreaker i9s pretty awesome

I didn't get the G2 BotCon set, and I'm kind of burnt out on Seekers now, but G2 Ramjet might be interesting...

Now, if they would make ANOTHER run of Punch/Counterpunch then I would be a very happy man.... I was hit HARD by being effing broke this whole past year and had to let my membership lapse and it makes me so damned sad that I missed PCP (He's a drug, I tell you)

Unfortunately, the head is all kinds of wrong to be slipstream....but you HAVE just made a convincing arguement for me to buy that toy. Female Coneheaded Seeker sounds....kind of hilariously anacronistic (uhm... I think I'm using that word wrong but its the only one coming to my sleep deprived brain right now to explain the thoughts in my head|)

LOL Thats what happens when I type to quick. I meant to say "hope".

I buy all seeker repaints. My favorite mold. Wish they would give us a Sunstorm or G1 Rainmakers set since Hasbro will not.

Edit is your friend

"Slipstream" originated in Animated as the Female Starscream clone. What personality trait she represents is best left not asked, as that's the gag. Her name first appeared in the AllSpark Almanac. It's worth noting that BWII Starscream (a completely different character) was a bit feminine... Yikes.

For those curious, the rest of the clones represent:

Thundercracker: Egomaniac
Skywarp: Coward
Ramjet: Liar
Sunstorm: Suck Up

Thrust: Jealous (Animation only)
Dirge: Greed (Toy only)

You have no clue how happy I was to see that package in the mail! I'm giddy just thinking that WFC Starscream flew from the UK to Canada. Quite a long trip for the little guy, but he's happy in his new home: a shelf in a glass case in my Transformers room.
