That's the RtS Cyclonus mold, right? Not bad. I thought I was gonna dislike this set, but so far they're 2 for 2 on figures I don't hate. I might have to get the Iacon package this year, if they keep this up.

I dunno about you guys, but I love it. I absolutely love it. I'm really liking how it seems the Club is busting out some of the more obscure characters for these exclusives. Here's to hoping more Squadron X characters! 
Calling it now, though: if Macabre is coming up soon, it's gunna be from Generations Black Shadow. Ain't no convincing with me unless the reveal says different.

I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

What does that have to with anything? There are more characterful looking memebers of the Squadron X, honestly Ferak is not that interesting beside the fact cyclonus is a generally good mold.

Ah yes, South American shoe-commercial Starscream! (at 0:14) Yes, I own the above figure entirely for this reason:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:It's been done before:
Well, the colors are backwards, but Strafe's as accurate to that commercial as this digibash is to LSOTW Ferak. I mean, I like the character choice, but hope that deco ain't final.
A bit of a letdown that Tornado is just a Nightstick instead of the Classics Mirage I've always wanted. So what, is Earthquake going to be the Minicon Iceberg?
But the BIG question: Any chance in Hell we'll get the bonus of a peg hole finally being molded into this figure's left hand? That surely wouldn't cost as much as s new head, and I'll never understand why that wasn't done in the first place; has it been explained?

Looks like the news staff already merged it. Nothing gets messed up ... you just have to edit the news story as well to reflect the new forum topic.

Red face with Lavender body might have been too reminiscent of Cyclonus, but it would have been much, much better than this garish deco. Maybe I'll like it more once I re-read LSOTW, but for now:

-I'll give you the color.
-Wings in right place and right angle.
I like it, but I wish there weren't giant pirate insigneas on the wings.
Someone asked, even before IDW, Squad X were Marvel UK. Obscure, but I'd rather have more Decepticon personalities than a dozen Starscreams, wouldn't you?
Also, I personally think this is a bit of redemption. We were expecting true pirates, bt if they pull Obscure Marvel characters out of their aftplates, this could be a pretty good Thrilling 30 for Botcon after all.
