The Energon Pub

That was the most unhelpful response ever, Sabr! Wow! I feel like balloons and confetti should be dropping on your head for the achievement!

I guess I remember the details just fine: FunPub is not doing a Voyager this year (for the TFSS2.0), and they mentioned what they ship depends on overall weight (I believe), and hence why I thought they said somewhere that it would be 2 Scouts instead of one Voyager.

However, the 3 microns might be the extras for the decreased weight of not having a Voyager.

Nonetheless, I can't help but think the 7th will be a Scout, guaranteed, and I'm just not down for a freebie like that - I think it will disappoint.

Actually.... I've got the answer: WEIGHT. I believe the microns ship with their deluxe pairing, so presumably, they do not add much weight (not enough to be considered the "extra" weight). A Voyager weighs more than a deluxe, though, and as it gets shipped on its own, we can assume that at least one shipment would be of "voyager weight". Ergo, the last shipment (with bonus figure) would most likely fit that description.

SOOOOOO... it comes down to what weighs as much as 1 Voyager? 2 Deluxes or 1 Deluxe & 1 Scout. If someone has a scale and wants to check this, that would be grand. Scouts and some deluxes are pretty close in size, so there could be size factors...

My guess is freebie scout, and most likely the second tape/tank pairing to Rewind. Which would be lame. This is kind of making or breaking my decision to buy.

Happy to be of service.

Are the robot feet supposed to stick out like that in alt mode, or is it mis-transformed in this pic?

Even the sharpest of blades will eventually dull?

I feel like this site would benefit from more smart-ass responses like yours.

The legs appear to be mistransformed in the mock-up image. Like all uses of this mold, they are supposed to be like this:

They're not quite sticking out, but rather are like the "knees" of the bug legs.

I haven't signed my son up for the TFCC yet but I was wondering does anyone know how much the TFSS2.0 costs on top of the normal subscription? Thanks.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe it's close to $300.

Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it.

poor waspinator...

ending like that??

please tell me its a nightmare and wake me up now!!!

This is really awesome, always wanted this remold, but the head always looked horrible. This looks damn cool.

also, I think he sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger with Waspinator's speech pattern.

Didn't turn out too bad actually. Still don't want to shell out for him though as I simply cannot imagine giving money to those gits.

You preferred an actual bug-sized Waspinator with Thrust's head? This is MUCH better fate!

The head render in color, for those (like myself) that are interested in Thrustinator:

wow, that's gloriously hideous.

Quite. Must've been tough to sculpt, too... to make it exactly "wrong."

Interesting repaint and remold, of a repaint and remold of Waspinator. I have BW II Dirgegun and I like the uniform paint scheme. This one makes me think of how they released Universe Overbite from BWII Hellscream. Glad I am not a part of the TFCC sham anymore .

As much as I was excited by this idea before, Pete Sinclair has commented on this:

And for the record. In regard to some other post I read. Neither of us gave any thought to how Waspinator got back to Cybertron nor how long it took him to get back...

Darn.

Aww, that's a bummer .

Thanks by the way for listing out all of the announced TFSS figures so far for me. I still wish there were a single thread pinned here on the site containing that info though. Maybe the forum gods (Ryan?) will hear my pleas and decide to make it happen. It sure would make keeping track and deciding whether or not to sign up for the subscription service a LOT easier than having to dig through countless threads and news articles.

That doesn't look to bad for being being a mashup of two characters, pretty seamless overall. I like it. A "Can't quite get all of Thrust out of Waspinator" figure.

Justm whatever they do, please just don't merge seven TFSS threads into one conglomerate like you guys have in the past, its really congusing where the new new stuff starts and the old news ends.

Agreed, I definitely don't want that. Basically all I'd like to see is one new thread created with the first post looking something like what Sabrblade posted with all the info we know about each of the subscription figures so far (e.g. the character name, bio, 1 pic of it in each mode if applicable etc.). These individual news threads should be kept separate to allow discussion of each of the figures on its own.

What you'd really like is a news round up.

Sort of, but not something that just gets posted to the homepage for a day or so. I'm thinking something that stays pinned in the forums here until it's time to sign up for the next subscription service. I want a resource for people like me who might be on the fence about whether or not to join this year and want to weigh the pros and cons by being able to easily assess everything being offered up to this point for the service.

Just a single post stickied here in the toys forum containing the list of figures with pics, bios etc. that gets updated whenever you guys get new info.

Why not just use the actual TFSS 2.0 Club site page - http://transformersclub.com/TCC_FSS2.cfm

It's pretty much got everything that's been posted about all of the figures thus far.

All that's really missing from it are the head renders and such.

Not to mention Chromedome, but I think we'll see him this Thursday.
