TFSS 2.0 Fisitron Arriving Now

i skipped Whirl and Roadbuster initially on account of their Voyager and (then) Universe figures, so this is 3 of 4 before Ruination has his limbs.

There was another delay this year (thankfully not as late as last year's delay). As this is still a relatively new service, hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out eventually.

Yeah, I figured it out. Please see the above edit. Thanks, anyway!

There was no delay, nor was there one last year. TFCC gets all their figures for the year in one big shipment, that coincides with BotCon for obvious reasons. You think it was a coincidence that they stared shipping Transmutate, Rampage, and TFSS 2.0 figures all at the same time? Nope. I would imagine shipping rates force them to get one big shipment. The so called delays are just bull shit cover stories. I don't know why they don't just own up to it.

Hydra is the one who wrote Fisitron's bio, and he filled it with some fun little references to other TF fiction.

IDW G1 references:

• His real name is "Ironfist" while "Fisitron" is his infosphere alias.
• He was recruited to join the Wreckers
• Ultra Magnus is a lawman
• Ultra Magnus has a connection to the Wreckers (also a reference to Marvel G1 and, well, this is Aligned Ultra Magnus here anyway)

Wings Universe G1 references:

• He started out as a factory worker.

Energon references:

• The Combination Spark (Japanese name of the Spark of Combination)

There's probably more in there to be found, as well.

Since the original bio pic was taken sideways, I've rotated it below:

So he should be part of the WFC/FOC game family, right? If anything FoC because the combination thing was discovered and done first in the second game...

Yeah, he and Barricade and Frenzy hail from the same universe, according to TransTech Rhinox and Heinrad.

I'm a big fan of Fisitron's new head, and the vibrant blue. Can't wait for it to arrive!

He looks really nice. Gonna pitch tent next to my mailbox :p

But it isn't a new head.

He's right: he's a straight repaint of FoC Roadbuster, a retool of FoC Swindle:



Only Chromedome, Rewind and Thrustinator got new heads.

It's new to me. I don't have any of the FOC Wreckers.
