Yeah that was a joke.

Now for something a bit serious. Also at the con Hasbro announced that in one of the vehicle sets named "Silent Strike" there will be a new figure named Sightline. Sightline is a tribute to Gary "Goggles" Head a long time fan and Joe historian. If you enjoy the new Skystriker, Starscream Skystriker, or Jetfire you owe him a debt of gratitude since it was his generosity to Hasbro that made it possible.

Can you elaborate his involvement with the SDCC exclusives further?

There are 2 reasons to love this set:

(1) Crossover Transformers that actually transform
(2) More GI Joe articulation in human characters

I'm in.

An upcoming exclusive set featuring "Old Snake" and a pair of Stealth Battle Android Troopers was revealed during the G.I. Joe Collector's Club panel at this weekend's G.I. Joe Con in Springfield, IL. This exclusive "G.I. Joe and the Transformers" set will be sold by both the Transformers Collector's Club and the G.I. Joe Collector's Club.

We are proud to present an extensive gallery of both figures and their accessories. Special thanks to Pete Sinclair for letting me photograph these figures at G.I. Joe Con to share with all of you here on Seibertron.com.

Please note that these figures are production samples. Final products may differ from the items shown in these galleries.

Additional information about this set will be available later this year. In the meantime, enjoy this very early look at this just-revealed set only on Seibertron.com!


Convention & Club Exclusives Old Snake






Convention & Club Exclusives Stealth Battle Android Troopers (B.A.T.s)

I'm not a big fan of the episode, but I do love the PRID Soundwave mold, and am only too happy to add more of these BATs to my display of the SDCC Joe/Transformers figures.

Gonna get this.

These are just, I mean, yes. All the way. Super cool idea, execution looks on point so far, and it feels like a thing that has some serious love behind it. I'm buying this without hesitation.

Now put that Soundwave in grey/blue, make it a three pack, and call it Noisemaze Production Type Clones or something and sell me those too

What a time to be alive.

Is it me, or is there a face beneath the visor?

If Old Snake was only One and a Half inch tall. It would have less articulation or no articulation at all. Which would upset both G.I Joe and TF fans more.

Well, good for friggin' you. DON'T buy them, then! One more for me.

Part of me wants a set of BATS to go with SerpentOR now. Could care less about Old Snake. Like the others posting, if I had any humans, at all, I would prefer them from the new Marvel line... I wonder if you can put Iron Man's head on the Star Lord figure, and paint around the mask?

So how do you get these awesome sets ?

Buy'em from the Club Store when the go online.

Any chance they or the Marissa one will be on BBTS/other online stores, or should I simply get a subscription now?

Only if there's extra left over or if BBTS buys their own from the store.

These Joe/TF Club Store exclusives are the same kind of case that the Club Store exclusives we get every year are. Last year was BWU Trans-Mutate, 2012 was Over-Run and SG Drift, 2011 was G2 Ramjet and Animated Cheetor, 2010 was Punch/Counterpunch and SG Cyclonus, 2008 was Nightbeat and the Seacons, and 2006 was Astrotrain and DoFP Airazor.

Well, they should send you a commission because I just got myself a subscription.

So my presumption is that this will be available in both the Joe and TF Club stores, and not just the Joe store?

Very likely, yes.

That would be nice.

What exactly does plastic taste like nowadays?

Like chicken

Truthfully I have no idea, we did have a member who loved MP-1 so much he licks it, but I think he was banned...

I do things to MP 01 everyday in their honor. To bad I don't own one, so I borrow someone else's.
