The world famous Seibertron.com toy galleries have been updated with entries for three more TFCC exclusives!
First up we have the 2012 club exclusive Over-Run (aka Runabout), a repaint of the Generations Wheeljack mold featuring a newly sculpted head! We even went the extra mile of posing him with the Statue of Liberty and in "fan-mode" for a more G1 appearance.

Next we have the club's other 2012 exclusive Shattered Glass Drift, an evil repaint of Generations Drift that comes armed to the teeth with the dual blasters from Generations Blurr.

Last but not least we have the 2011 membership incentive figure Side Burn, a Robots in Disguise inspired repaint of Classics Rodimus. Check out the full galleries by following the links and images below.

The purpose of this photo is to demonstrate that all five accessories can be attached to SG Drift at any given time.

With all my cynicism, over-analytic postulating, nerd-rage fandomhood; I give my thanks for the good people here at Seibertron for reminding me why I check in every couple hours on the day. Just ace stuff here: on the part of the artists involved in crafting the toys and the amazing photography; capturing each texture of design and framed to perfection.

Douse my torch. Cork my pitchfork.

These brilliant stills bring me joy. World class - world renowned indeed.

Really great-looking figures. Over-Run is definitely the best of the bunch, but Side Burn is pretty great too. This is the one year I was really debating joining the TFCC, but sadly I'm glad I didn't.

Amazing galleries, Ryan. Nice job showing off every little detail, from Drift's multi-weapon storage to Over-Run's 'G1 mode'.

Such a... simple fan mode for Over-Run, but it makes all the difference there. Kudos!

I only collect Transformers. Love SG Drift, hate the Deadpool reference.

Well, I got the idea from your Unicron gallery with the Galactus figure.

Though, in a way, SG drift being like Deadpool kinda fits quite well.

Damn, EJ was such a badass! The Transformers has had some great artists give them life over the past 25 years, but EJ just might be the best (or at least tied with Figueroa).

Also, that fan mode makes me wish I had these guys.

EJ Su's art is amazing. It really helped bring me into the beginning of the IDW run. To me he had the perfect mix of the classic aesthetic with modern detail, none of this Bay-ified nonsense. I wish they'd bring EJ back!

It's because Seibertron is an expert photographer, and these are in fact Over-Run's actual colors
It's actually true: Over-Run is more of a charcoal-dark grey color (as seen in the photo's) than he is black. It's a very striking color scheme combined with the red stripes and red windows. The Seibertron gallery shows his real colors very accurately.

Well, bad news for me then. I cannot justify the $70+ price tag on it, so I am in the process of doing a custom copycat of the original. But, mine is black. I have only painted the vehicle mode so far, so I guess I could just paint over. I think mixing a black paint w some silver would give me that look it has. Honestly though he was black in the g1 cartoon and figure so I might keep mine as is. That is a nice color though.

Thanks alot Seibertron. You just complicated what I thought was going to be an easy repaint.

Of course, I should have came here first for the photos. This site has always had the best ones. Good job on the photos brother. They are nice!

Some thoughts:

The paint on Over-Run's back windshield looks awful in person. Really, really amateur stuff. He's my fifth club figure, and that's the biggest issue I've had with any of them.

SG Drift is awesome. Seibertron might not pose his with Deadpool, but mine is posed next to my Squaddie Deadpool, in the exact same pose.

I got rid of mine, but Side Burn is a pretty nice toy. One of the coolest things they did was the little "cheat" on the paint apps to make it look like he still has the single eye visor.
