Primarily, yep, but the Minicon buddy at least looks marginally like the Humanoid Pretender shell, so for at least a temporary amount of time this is my "Classics" G1 Roadblock. Basically once something better comes along, off to the G2 shelf it goes.

Really disappointed with this sub. I already have a completely suitable Bludgeon and the club already did Spinister three years ago. I like the more random assortments. Gives the opportunity to fill holes in other Botcon sets. Things we're missing from their own fiction instead of a combiner for characters who aren't meant to combine. Where's my MW Hubcap or anyone else to complete that year? it should have been one and done for MW. To see five (four, I'm actually happy about Needlenose) characters I don't care anything about dumped in my lap for the sub... Just takes the wind out of my sails. Happy about Ramjet. Happy for those of us that wanted Armada Skywarp too. I have to think Thundercracker is one of the unrevealed ones. The Joes aren't something I'm crazy about but I see the appeal. Overall, a little disappointed with the offerings but they can't all be winners for me. There's always next year!

I feel like somewhere along the road, our opinion paths completely diverged. Occasionally, those paths cross from time to time, but then we head in different directions again.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANY MORE FLUX CONVOY!

If so, it would probably be either Bad Boy...

...Or Stormcloud.

If it's Bad Boy, they might use the Viper head rather than Powerglide's original head and try to make him look a little more like his original Go-Bot toy.

At the very least, we know that the bonus seventh figure will be a Deluxe.

Well, they gotta do it eventually, might as well do it now.

The 6th figure from the TCC Subscription 4.0 has been revealed! Check it out here ... http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/transformers-subscription-service-4-0-6th-figure-reveal-t104893.php

I'm willing to bet money that the bonus is Armada Thundercracker.

Hello all, I have a quick update this morning on the next Transformers Figure Subscription Service for all those wondering when orders will start:

The order period for the TFSS 4.0 will begin in August and will cover two pay periods to help those wanting to pay in full upfront. Of course if you do need to spread your payments out rather than pay in one lump sum, there is, as always, the 3 payment installment plan as well. The TCC expect to start taking orders for the TFSS 4.0 starting around the middle of the month.

Stay tuned for additional information on all six TFSS 4.0 figures - Bludgeon, Ruckus, Windsweeper, Spinister, Needlenose and Impactor.

And remember, anyone who completes the subscription will receive a FREE Bonus 7th Deluxe Class Combiner Wars figure!

Thanks for the heads up, Jesse. ;)^

Cool deal, that's good timing. TFSS always seems to be the last stop in the Summer TF Collector Annual Gauntlet of Wallet Pain, so nice to see it arrive due to that :lol:

Can someone provide a price or a price estimate for the subscription? Being able to budget for this would be helpful.

This post on the last page of the thread mentioned it being comparable to 3.0, so thanks to shipping/etc I'd budget yourself about $425, which assumes a minor increase in price from 3.0 (better to plan for more, right?)

Basically, about the same price as a Botcon set for more or less the same amount of figures. Makes sense to me.

Confirmation of a seventh CW mold knocks out any Thundercracker speculation. That's just totally in the face of Hasbro's statements about completing the seekers if either SW or TC is done. Perhaps he'll come through Hasbro then. Glad nobody took me up on that bet.

Curse you and your reasonable maths!

I didn't realize how much 3.0 had jumped, actually. And was hoping for the sign up to open in September, not August. Oh well.

I'm excited for a 7th deluxe! Didn't realize that would be the case.

Hoping for Crankcase...

If it's comparable to 3.0, then it was $297 + shipping + installment fees (if you choose to not pay the lump sum up front). I just got charge $117 for the 2nd installment of 3.0, so hopefully closer to $375 or less.

Can't wait for hi rez pictures of Bludgeon and the others.

Could we get alt mode pics too want to see how Impactor would work from the Rook mode.

If anyone here works for TCC or know anything about these sets could Impactor also get a Drill accessory instead of the clamp or are you/they limited to only making new heads?
