The Official Transformers Collector's Club has been updated with our first look at the 2008 club exclusive figure Topspin, a repaint of the Energon Blackout/Stormcloud mold.

Here is TOPSPIN - the 2008 Transformers Collectors' Club FREE Membership Figure!
This is the FOURTH figure in the five figure Club Combiner series. Any Transformers Club member who's membership
is active by March 16, 2008 will receive this figure FREE in the late spring/early summer. If you join after that deadline,
you will be eligible for the 2009 figure and you may also purchase the previous four figures from the Transformers Club store.

Looks nice.

Not bad, almost hard to believe were 4 years into this set already.

The Energon choppers where pretty fun.

Glad I got them all the Combaticons(?) the first time around, it's the only Energon combiner set that I completed.

This is Topspin? And he's a Decepticon? Hmmmm. Nice colors.

Looks okay but I’m generally not too big on this guys colors, does anyone else think he looks a lot like Energon Quickstrike in those colors?

I still havent gotten last years figure yet. They said they were going to ship it out but its still not here.

Well that's a strange name. He bears absolutely no resemblance to G1 Topspin the Jumpstarter.


Still having both of the Energon repaints of this mold, I have to say, its one of the better combiner limb molds.

I specially like the Purple and Gray Color scheme of Energon Blackout.

I'm still curious as to who the final gestalt is going to be, and who they are going to use as the center piece for it with the new Head they have announced.
I think Barricade would look cool in translucent red.

So we have 2 Planes: Breakaway and Skyfall, a Tank: Landquake, and now a Helicopter: Topspin as the final limb.

*reads fine print*

Oh good....from all these prototypes & such I was starting to fear he wouldn't be transparent. Glad to hear he will be.

I said it 2 months after I joined here and I'll say it once more. This collectors club and it's "perks" are still the biggest waste of money ever to be introduced to Transformers fans. In my opinion of course.

It's already been pretty much confirmed from images in the club comic that it is going to be Barricades body. What the resculpted head will look like is still anyones guess though.

wheee, Topspin gains articulation at last.

i kinda miss the blues and the spring-loaded action though.

I thought it was going to be a homage to the G1 jumpstarter topspin

Landquake was the same way. The color scheme is nothing new for this line/series of exclusives.

Every time I think about joining the club due to some good looking figures, I see something like this. I don't like it.

You guys know that this combiner is a Prime right? I thought that was common knowledge.

Right.

It was a Prime broken up for some yet undisclosed reason.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

The Club is absolutely worth the minimal $40 a year.

I suppose you can't convince everyone and that's fine. The comics, the toy, the shipping for all that included in the price, and then the BotCon discount...you almost break even for what you get. Go to BotCon and you come out ahead in terms of Club costs.

Next year I'm going to have a very cool complete Club combiner. Hard to believe it will have been five years at that point. I'm going to be dead sooner than I thought...

Yeah, if you think about how much some of us do spend, the club is worth it in my opinion. I save $$ on Botcon, all club exclusives, free combiner piece each year, and I do like the newsletter that we get. For those of us that do get a lot of the club toys, and go to the con, it's actually worth it and we save waaay more $$ then we would if we weren't in the club. I'm not a fan of the movie line, and the club toys are more to my liking. So for me, it's worth it every year. Not only that, but it's only $40. Depends on everyone's income, but that's really throwaway cash for me.

I can't believe that the combiner will be done in about a little more then a year too!!

Very interesting toy!

Now is time for all us to vote for Optimus Prime for PRESIDENT

Yup, club's well worth it to me too. I left this site because of all the whiners, bitchers and complainers. I come back months later to find that they've damn near overrun the joint. Hoofreaking ray. Like I haven't already heard about a hundred other assclowns throw their rhetoric down my throat about why the club is a waste of money. If I can't spare $40 bucks a year for something I enjoy, wow, it's time for a new job.
