That's the problem. Most of the BW cast was put out in Botcon 2006 in Pre/Post-Cybertron versions.

As much as they want to say its another side story, Depthcharge, Rampage, and Trasmutate are just filling in a void for people who have the '06 set.

Since I don't own the prior set and not inclined on paying the $1000+ membership fee to obtain it, I'll pass.

I think he's referring to the upcoming Generations toys for those two.

Sabrblade, I figure you might know this if no one else, but, where does TFCC Slipstream belong? I thought she would be a Prime character for sure, but her club bio has no details that would suggest that's true. Is she part of some new weird Prime timeline, or from some other universal steam all together?

Yeah, her bio is pretty vague, but it almost seems like they did that on purpose.

For what reasons, I can't say. Best guesses are either they didn't want to outright say she's an Aligned character due to the still-unclear nature of the Aligned continuity's relationship with the multiverse, or they wanted to keep her home dimension unstated so fans could put her with whatever collection they feel like (Prime, Classics, Animated, etc.) without having her bio contradict those wishes.

Her only fictional appearance has been as an offworlder in Axiom Nexus, which is reflected in her bio.

TFWiki put her as the Aligned character, and she does use a Prime toy body, so the odds of her being Aligned Slipstream have those two points in their favor.

If the Club ever did state if she's meant to be Prime/Aligned Slipstream, I've either forgotten or missed them saying it. :oops:

I'd throw her in under the Classics banner due to the fact that Transformers: Legends, while not in robot mode, uses her jet mode for her alternate mode card. Like Sabrblade says above, it really depends on the owner of the figure.

Unless the Club said who she is at some point before.

Like I said, I don't know if they have or not, and I'm not really up to looking to see if they have. (:|

Why are some people upset that "Transmutate" can transform? Regardless of where these figures come from in the fiction, at the very least, all protoforms from the Axalon stasis pods were their own Cybertronians at one point and were presumed to be Maximals with the exception of X. Optimus Primal often said that the protoforms in the stasis pods were the rest of his crew. He also said that his crew was on a long journey and all but a skeleton crew had went into stasis and reverted to protoforms.

If these are indeed meant to be pre-Beast Wars characters then "Transmutate" should be able to transform as the stasis pod her protoform was in hasn't been damaged yet.

Yeah, I'm sorely tempted to put her in with my Classics display as Neo-G1 Slipstream, but she's quite a bit taller than the Classics seeker mold, not that a gal can't be taller than "the boys' club", of course! That mold works so well as a femme-bot too.

How about "Animated" Jackpot again coming up from the subscription service? I'd rather have him in my Classics display as he is another G1 Action Master homage. The mold doesn't class <i>too</i> much with the typical "Classics" aesthetic, but has the club officially said whether he is definitively from the Animated universe?

FYI, I've put TFCC Scourge in with my Classics display, buddied up with the other evil Optimus clone, Universe 2008 Nemesis Prime. They're gonna start a support group or something. Side Burn is already in the Neo-G1 universe via "Wings of Honor", so I don't feel bad about adding in another RID character.

There is an Animated Jackpot, yes.

He's appeared here and here (but given the nature of his second appearance, it is not known if it's exactly the same physical person, or a version of him)

Okay, FunPub needs to decide on what the official "Animated" model for Jackpot is. It seems like he's redrawn entirely in each new piece of fiction he appears in.

I will still probably stick Jackpot in my Classics display, though. :lol:

I've got no other Animated figures, so why not, right?

Think I may join TFCC for the first time, I really like that rampage.

Out of curiousity, I've looked up G1 Treadshot, and quite surprisingly, the head does not match the newly teased subscription figure at all:

Really drastic restyling or goof-up? You be the judge.

This one bugs me, because Treadshot was the figure for Subscription Service 2.0 I was most looking forward to. I don't think he looks bad just... not like Treadshot. The visor is his most distinctive feature.

He looks ok,,,,, being a TFCC member for years,,,, I wish that they put a bit more effort and time to their website/store and the MISSING TFCC FORUMS for if I'm not mistaken it has been almost about 2 years now with no forums in there, I do love the club and it's exclusives figures,,, but come on guys put it together already,,,, btw TFCC website has crashed....IS ANYBODY SURPRISED??? NOT ME.

Maybe they already used their new head limit on other the other figures. I mean, this year only had Slipstream and Jackpot get new heads, so may the FSS has a tighter budget on new head molds.

News Credits: 65 · by **Wolfman Jake** » Fri Aug 09, 2013 12:20 pm

Jackpot has a new head? Are you sure it's not the same head as Animated Jazz? It really looks like the same head to me, honestly.

What about breakdown? Or does he not count seeing as he's a redeco of Timelines Breakdown?

Redecoed head from 2010 Generation 2 Redux Breakdown.

If you ask me, Gutcruncher is only 'obvious' because of the legends redeco. The head may not be perfect for Treadshot, but it's close enough for me, and it's the torso that really makes him the better choice than Gutcruncher. Cannon for a chest is Tready's thing, not Gutty's. Wanted this redeco ever since they announced "Treadshot" would be part of last year's Botcon set, so I'm happy at least.

News Credits: 65 · by **Wolfman Jake** » Fri Aug 09, 2013 9:08 pm

Well I'll be, that is a new sculpt...that looks remarkably like the Animated Jazz head anyway

I would love a proper Classics/Timelines Gutcruncher. Then I can repurpose my Classics/ROTF Sparkcruncher as Classics G1 GoBot Treds.

After a disappointing lack of news regarding TFSS 2.0 at BotCon 2013 the official Transformers Collectors' Club has taken to their twitter account to announce the first three figures in next year's line-up:

The TCC wrote:
Treadshot using the Generation Warpath mold
Chromedome from TF: Prime Wheeljack
Fisitron from Generation Roadbuster

Update: TFCC has updated their website with Treadshot's full reveal and new details on TFSS 2.0. The molds will be coming from the Transformers Prime, Generations, and Henkei lines: 5 Deluxes, 1 Scout, plus a bonus 7th figure to be shipped out with the 6th figure. A total of 7 figures with three new head sculpts.

After the great success of the Transformers Figure Subscription Service (TFSS) 1.0, the Transformers Collectors' Club now brings you version 2.0! The TFSS is only available to active club members. This service is an optional feature and is not included in the cost of your annual Transformers Collectors’ Club (TCC) membership.

The TFSS 2.0 will consist of six different Transformers toys. You will receive six shipments starting in approximately February 2014, and then each month after that for a total of six months. Figures will be shipped in a surprise sequence (figure shipments will be the same for everyone each month) and it will also be a surprise each month as to which figure you receive! Your last shipment (6th shipment) will include a FREE mystery figure! That’s right, if you sign up for the TFSS 2.0 you will get a BONUS 7th figure! This 7th figure will never be sold in the club store. The only way to guarantee getting it is to sign up for the TFSS 2.0.

The limited edition TFSS 2.0 contains a variety of fan favorite characters from the Transformers mythos, all tied together by a great story to be told thru Transformers: Timelines. The assortment includes some very popular Generations, Henkei and Transformers: Prime molds. For 2.0 we will be offering 5 Deluxes and 1 Scout with THREE new head sculpts. You will definitely want these toys as part of your Transformers Collection. Stay tuned for more updates as the order period is scheduled to begin in mid-September of 2013.

In other words, nothing new. It's worth noting Chromedome is getting one of the presumably two new heads, and "Ironfist" is out of Hasbro's reach it seems, so they're using the anagram "Fisitron" again.

And I derped in not realising that Treadshot is a straight redeco, not a retool. #-o
