That's really cool that it's all available in one spot. With that and Sabr's list as a guide, I can go try to catch up on some of this material at long last.

Speaking of that list, I'm trying to work on expanding it as there are several things missing from it (both old and recent). I just got the 3H section reorganized and with just about everything from that era added in, but tackling the Fun Pub section's gonna be a BIG endeavor.

Motto: "Till All Are Pun!"
Directly from the Transformers Collectors' Club ambassador to Seibertron.com, and comics writer TF_JW, we have a look at the cover art for the Transformers Timelines #11 Diamond Edition cover, plus a couple of things to add to what's to come in 2016. Keep in mind the recent membership announcement, and it definitely sounds like times are a-changin'. Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Hate to be that guy.... But, isn't that the wrong Lio Convoy? In the bottom left of the comic cover it looks like 'normal colored' White Lio with the Gold mane. But isn't it supposed to be the Blue/Red Lio with the Silver mane? (See attached picture for reference)

Andrew Hall (writer of the Leo Prime bio for Takara Tomy's Arms Micron/TF Prime toy line) and I had been plotting Lio Convoy/Leo Prime's journey through the Multiverse to his new home.

During the travels he showed up in Axiom Nexus in red and blue, but changed to white and gold. And from that body transitioned to the Arms Micron one. (Keeping in mind he's originally from 10,000 years in the future and is doing some time traveling and universe hopping between these bodies).

So yes... different colors. But not necessarily wrong... if you allow for some author intent that probably would never see print.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the bit of backstory. I really enjoy The Convoy and I'm trying to collect all the members. If they keep changing forms, then that'll be more more toys for me to buy. (Oh no, how horrible!)

Still waiting to see the other 'classified members' show up, by the way. (*hint*hint*)

Is the order code for this available? No way my shop's gonna just order copies for the heck of it, and I would like to get my order in soon-ish. Those cut offs are brutal on IDW stuff, I'm sure there's probably only a short window to order this as well.

Any reason to not order it from the club directly? I have for the last few Diamond editions. I'm sure there will be copies at Botcon too, if you're attending. :)

Your comic book shop might still be able to order the issue. Here is the information: http://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/NOV151424

If not, Flux Convoy is correct about the Club offering the issue in the Club Store.

Also what about Wreckers Finale? (Granted I already have a PDF of Wreckers Finale, just thought I'd ask anyway).

I'd just be curious to know what the hang-up on these has been. For the first two, it's possible that they'd been forgotten, but for Wreckers Finale, a slot's even been created.

(Edit: If you are talking about toys and not more stories to go with this one, then...) Some of these characters already exist as toys!

But would be nice to see the others, and maybe a reissue of the above set because it is very expensive on the secondary market.

But that's only doable for the three on the left. There aren't any Generations molds for the body-types of Seaspray, Beachcomber, or Hubcap.

Not with that attitude there aren't.

I hear you though. New Beachcomber is way overdue, and the Energon one just doesn't work for Classics.

However, the toys in that 6-pack you posted above are all perfectly doable:

Bad Boy - Combiner Wars Legends Powerglide
Bug Bite - Thrilling 30 Legends Bumblebee
Treds - Combiner Wars Legends Warpath
Path Finder - Thrilling 30 Legends Cosmos
Road Ranger - Combiner Wars Legends Huffer
Small Foot - Thrilling 30 Legends Gears

:D

There was the Universe Beachcomber and HFTD Sea Spray. And they probably could just use the Bumblebee mold for Hubcap.
