Hmm, he could fit "The Boss" as well.

Last we saw he was in TransTech Bulletbike's body (which he stole), which was based on the Beast Machines Deluxe Thrust toy (the non-show-accurate one).

I think he's more like the Loose Cannon, but eh. Another solid opportunity either way.

However, that story he was in was WAY too confusing (and one I didn't really like, either), so I'd be hesitant to see the Club return to him.

Still, he'd be a golden opportunity. Beast Machines Thrust (the Deluxe) is the only Beast Machines Vehicon toy that hasn't been repainted, so the mold should be in decent enough shape despite its age. I say they should go for it and worry about plot holes later.

Ok, back to speculating about the 5. Anybody think we'll see any of the cameos from the TFSS 3.0 comics, maybe as Souvenirs? To refresh your memories:

G2 Eagle Eye from Gen. Armada Starscream
Turbofire from Gen. Hoist/Trailcutter
Blue Bacchus from 2010 Tomahawk
Rotorstorm from Gen. Vortex

I'm saving Nightracer out of Gen. Tailgate for the TFSS given her size.

ever since that comic, and peoples speculations, ive been drooling over the thought of this.

Hoping I can make it this year. Also hoping for a repaint of RTS Jazz into Cybertron Crosswise as "the bounty hunter".

But Crosswise wasn't a bounty hunter.

But Crosswise wasn't a bounty hunter.

And? Was it specified that a character was required to be previously what he will be in the set?

*shrug* I guess then it wouldn't be Cybertron Crosswise.

Oops! You're right. All of my TF cards/bios/instructions are in a shoe box, and I haven't read them in a while. It looks he's a "monster hunter"; and all this time I thought I had read bounty hunter lol!

Ok, have there been any strong characters that turned into aircraft, aside from Lugnut? I'm asking because I'm reminded of 2010 Lugnut's alternate head that's never been used. Now would be a good time...

I feel that mold would be an opportune use for a brand new character, if ever anyone wanted to make one.

I always thought that mold fit the Shockwave character better. One eye, huge chest, blasters in the hands. If it was all purple, it would have made a good Shockwave in Animated. The 1 we did get wasn't bad, though.

Yeah, but I think JelZe and I were talking about that figure using its alternate head, rather than its Lugnut head.

Though, the Lugnut head has five eyes.

And the United version was very purple (purple head, even), so that one could possibly serve as a Shockwave repurpose as is.

Didn't know that head had three eyes. Yikes!

Are we even sure those are eyes? It could be a really really **** up clown face.

We just might have an early leak of some BotCon 2015 toys.

This comes from TFW2005 user Grimlockimus:

Okay so recently on the Cybercast Podcast they had a special guest that some of us may know, Pete@Botcon. During the podcast, which was really nice to watch, loved hearing about Pete's views and experiences with the convention, Pete adjusted the camera due to some toys being shown in the shot that apparently weren't suppose to be seen and well, as he said in the podcast himself it'll probably show up on TFW shortly after.



Can't get much out of the shot but one thing definately stands out and that's a Voyager Prime Breakdown with what seems to be a new head and a green paintjob. Might be our first look at a voyager from the Botcon set (the muscle?) or maybe an upcoming TFCC club store exclusive.

The podcast episode in question is this one:


Another user, Monzo, did some enhancement to the look at the toys:



All this, combined with observations made by others, the following have been spotted on that table near Pete:

• A military green or tan or gray or gold Prime Breakdown with a new headsculpt
• A blue and gray Generations Springer
• A Packrat-colored Generations Rattrap
• A blue and white Generations Bumblebee
• A red or pink Reveal the Shield Jazz with gold rims

Oh Oh Can the RTS Jazz please be Vibes? Though I mean with the way they treated women in the last club story, I might regret asking that.

SW's SilverHammer wrote:Oh Oh Can the RTS Jazz please be Vibes? Though I mean with the way they treated women in the last club story, I might regret asking that.

You sound like the Club personally requested that Flamewar and Flareup be drawn the way they were, rather than that being all Sakamoto-san's doing.

Second enhancement by Monzo:

i find it odd that theyd do packrat without fractyl.
2015 bring us a terrorsaur, and botcon 2016 bring us a fractyl!

Yes because the club has absolutely no control on what the artist focuses on in the comic, and the club was on sick leave when they wrote flareup was a ditz and other characters, cough cannonball ball focus on flamewars tits. Look I don't care about objectification, but at least do it well enough so the characterization is more than happy and ass, cunning and boobs.

Again, that was Sakamoto's doing, not the writers.

Sakamoto was even asked by one of his colleagues to tone down what he had originally done with Flamewar, whom he drew with the idea of her being like a James Bond girl type. Not everyone in the Club was thrilled with it either, but it's not like it was out of character for Flamewar.

And, in what universe is Flareup a "ditz"? She's happy-go-lucky and fun-loving, but a far cry from an idiot.

Honestly, you act like what amounted to three panels of (unnecessary) fanservice was spread across the entire comic on every page as though this were an issue of Kiss Players. We get it, you hate Club fiction. But it's not so heinous as to be considered pornographic.

It's heinous because it takes away from character development and good story telling! I already stated that I don't mind objectification, hell I respect kiss players because it's balls to the wall objectification, but that was in character for kiss play. As much as I bash the club, I always expect better from them. If they went full James Bond/Tearjerker/Our Man Bashir, I would've respected it because the T&A would've been appropriate for the tone of story, it wasn't for this story. Also if the club felt it was to much, why did they approve of it? The other problem is the fact Josh Burcham wrote the characters this way, no mater what Hayato Sakamoto drew, it was a visual interpretation of Burcham's written work. If burcham wrote that cannonball made an off comment about flamewars breasts, then Sakamoto interpreted it visually, not the other way around; I take more issue with an inept writer, than an artist who likes drawing T&A.

Flareup is the best.

What the hell is going on here?
