The Club magazine arrived today, and they have a spread on the 6 TFSS 5.0 figures.
Notable bits include:
-Registration for 5.0 supposedly opens this week
-The Paradron Medic is called 'Lifeline'
-Toxitron, Fractyl, and Counterpunch are all designated 'Wreckers' and seem intended to combine
There's a bio for Lifeline (and TFSS 4.0 Impactor) towards the end of the magazine, I've included a shot of that as well.
and 
now? That seems a little weird, so who's stuff do they wreck now since they're comprised of a mix of allegiances?I think it's a callback to Beast War-era convention Wrecker fiction, which had a Wreckers team featuring 'bots, 'cons, Maximals and Predacons. Notably, Fractyl was one of those Wreckers.Hellscream9999 wrote:So Wreckers are a mix of

Sounds awesome, shame they're using the MM/OP mold, it could've been amazing
Plus, it was originally gonna be Nemesis Prime until Takara went and made Grand Scourge, forcing the Club to change its plans for the Motormaster mold's other pretooled head.Deadput wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:

The mold itself is not bad not great but not awful either.
But really what would you have made Toxitron from neither HotSpot or Onslaught fit Toxitron that well unless they want to change his alt mode?

Who else would they make a mold with an "evil Optimus Prime" head out of when Nemesis Prime is off the table and SG Optimus is no more?Hellscream9999 wrote:Who says it has to be Toxitron,
Yes.Hellscream9999 wrote:is that a thing?
Except Scattershot was just used too. For Sea Clamp.Hellscream9999 wrote:As 'Wreckers', I could see using Scattershot or Onslaught, since Onslaught was just used, I think Scattershot with a new head and combiner head and a bunch of guns would have been pretty cool
Ohhhh, is there an element of "Motormaster/Optimus mold was already slotted for our use, we cannot practically change the mold in reaction to Takara's Grand Scourge, but we can change the deco."?Sabrblade wrote:Plus, it was originally gonna be Nemesis Prime until Takara went and made Grand Scourge, forcing the Club to change its plans for the Motormaster mold's other pretooled head.
So if they hadn't gone with the Motormaster mold, we wouldn't be getting that final headsculpt.
The Club was gonna make use of the Motormaster mold's alternate headsculpt by turning it into Nemesis Prime, but when Takara made Grand Scourge out of the regular Optimus mold, that made the Club's plans for Nemesis Prime redundant, so they switched the deco into Toxitron instead.RevTibe wrote:Ohhhh, is there an element of "Motormaster/Optimus mold was already slotted for our use, we cannot practically change the mold in reaction to Takara's Grand Scourge, but we can change the deco."?
That Joe/TF set will be a Club store exclusive like the last two.Optimutt wrote:Any word on the Ratbat and hologram Megatron toys? Have they given and details about how to get our eager little paws on them?

Wouldn't be surprised if Wreckage and Thunder Mayhem were nemeses.
