The head on Breakdown looks like crap, as if he's just looked into the Ark of The Covenant.

Slipstream is pretty much exactly what I'd have wanted and Scourge is the same. Both are perfect. But no way I'm going to sign up for a subscription service for a couple of decent figures.

Me, I think they all look good, and somehow I'm fascinated by Ultra Mammoth. Poor Big Convoy, having to share same fate as Optimus Prime when it comes to repaints...

He is perfect for an Ultra Magnus homage though. I think an all white mammoth with the blue coming out in robot more might make more sense, but still, I freaking love the idea.

The only one's here I'm not really into is Breakdown (I hate the mold) and Circuit (Too Obscure for me to care). I'd still keep Breakdown, and possibly pawn Circuit off on a friend, or just keep it for it's fruity pebbles color scheme

Okay... Idon't actually understand how this works... If I'm already a club member, do I have to sign up for anything else? I jusst... Am really confused.

I'm super excited about Breakdown; the G2 looked disappointing, so I'm glad to get it in G1 colours. I still hate the cubed head, though. I hate how Circuit looks, but he fits in with my collection requirements. I WANT Slipstream and Ultra Mammoth but I don't NEED them.

Anyways, yeah. How does this work, then?!

I really don't think the Club will be able to pull this off. I really don't like how to get the nicer figures like Scourge, for sure, you have get saddled with crap like Ultra Mammoth (something they couldn't get rid of on clearance were this normal).

I'm gonna have to stick up for tfcc sideburn mine is just fine I have every paint of that mold and they all feel the same but u never know maybe u got a crappy release

Agred. As someone who has both a Side Burn and a KO Rodimus, you can certainly tell the difference in plastic quality and construction.

To a degree I was exaggerating, I'm sure you're right that whatever KO this is is of lower quality. Though I remember reading others who had similar problems with Sideburn, and it seems many did not get the correct guns with SG Drift, to state a more recent example.

KO's are crappy no doubt, but these are things we can't be too quick to forget. I do not believe the TFC has the most appropriate track record.

Have you been reading this thread? UM is proving to be one of the most popular figures of this batch

I don't know about that... But I will say this: it's easier to be positive on something when there's no price tag attached.

This is a big figure and it will no doubt run up the price of the subscription more than another deluxe or even a voyager would. I figure it will be even more costly when it goes up for individual sale. A lot of folks probably aren't thinking of this.

Even then, what if you don't like BW toys? They're trying to throw in something for everyone, but the problem with that is that everyone will likely get one or more figures they have no interest in. These should be organized more like the Botcon sets, where there's a theme, and someone interested in one of the figures is likely to at least accept the rest.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big BWN fan. I just know a lot of folks who might be interested in this subscription aren't, and this figure also just feels like a repaint made for the sake of being a repaint.

And on an unrelated note: I can't believe they did that Jazz repaint for an Animated figure over a BB-repaint Waspinator. Big missed opportunity on that one.

You do realize that the subscriptions last 3-4 weeks, right? If you want, you can just subscribe for the figures that you want and not worry about the rest.

Typing on tablet makes long quoting darned tricky

@Nekoman - you're right about Drif, that was a hefty problem. though i don't see them mixing accessories hete, so I hope it won't be a problem

@Gearslide - incorrect. the 3-4 week period is the time to register for the full subscription, not the figures themselves. once subscribed, you get all 6 figs whether you like them or not. Also we do not know which order they'll be arriving in until the first petson who gets it tells us, thus we have no advance warning which one is coming.

Wait. Seriously? But...he's a blue mammoth! White, I could see, but blue? (Okay, blue and white, but still.)

And would it have killed them to make him look like G1 Ultra Magnus in robot mode? Blue head, silver antenna, no face plate, colors in the correct order, etc...

I really don't know why I'm complaining. I'm not even gonna buy the danged thing!

I personally also like Ultra Mammoth. It made me want to get the universe Nemesis Prime (but then I looked on eBay and that this is going at like $100-$150).

Some of those picture look very photoshoped and test-shotty. So he might very well look better down the line.

One...hu..hu...hundred? Why did I sell mine years ago? >_<

Wait the nemesis prime is going for a hundred on ebay. I'm happy i got mine of some guy on crave sealed for $40 shipped.

Back on topic.

I personally like them all but if they make it so you can get them singly I will get Ultra Mammoth, and Scourge.

Any price rumors on what the whole shabang will cost?

No price rumours yet. They got their data sheets only a couple days before the 'con

And their are plans to release each figure seperately in limited numbers at a higher cost of coursr

I really want two of these, kind of want two, and have no interest in the final two.
Not sure what I'm going to do. Guess I'll wait and see what the price is before I decide.
