Cool toy. Any chance for a gallery on Eject? He can't fight alone.

*ahem* The mystery figure's gallery is being worked on. However, in keeping with the Club's wishes, we're not going to disclose the identity of the gallery whenever we showcase it.

Such a shame that this guy is a exclusive, I would have loved to own him. Or any version of the mold, for that matter.

News Credits: 8 · Wed Jul 30, 2014 2:52 pm

Aww, no photos of him with his FOC counterpart? :-(

Are you ready for another Seibertron.com fully detailed, highly defined gallery? We are proud to present the Transformers Collectors' Club Subscription Service 2.0 mystery figure - and we're making sure it remains so, thanks to a newly implemented feature of the site's galleries!

That's right, we won't be showing you images right here, but rather linking you to the first Members Only gallery on Seibertron.com. You must be logged in to click on the images and reveal what's beneath, so as not to ruin the fun for anyone still waiting for their own new toy. So buckle up, brace for spoilers, and head to the gallery if you're ready for its sheer magnificence. We'll be holding on to some red banners for a while yet.

Oooh!

... uh, any recommended photos? i.e. "image #__ is a good view of bot mode, #___ for alt mode, #___ compared with ____". I'd rather not have to rummage thru 130+ pics...

News Credits: 13 · Wed Jul 30, 2014 6:04 pm

The first Members Only Gallery? There's going to be more? I thought this was a one time thing. Guess there are going to be more mystery figures in the future. I GUESS.

Have you tried the new image visualiser? It's really easy (and fast) to switch between images with keyboard arrows!

It's the first, not first of many. But it is a feature we may use again!

Does this make anyone else wonder if Has/Tak will ever make a Twincast out of that Blaster mold? They already made a Soundblaster, so why not? Also I like this "Secret/Hidden" gallery idea; for some reason, it feels "special".

But in case..

4 for alt mode, 15 for alt mode comparison, 32 for G1 comparison, 45 bot mode, 109 bot mode feature, 116 bot comparison.

Okay this is fine and all, but they aren't showing up for me. I click on the first few pics and I get a white page with technobabble on it. Then later pics just go to blank pages, the same with the image pop up. Just sayin' something's the matter with it.

BTW, will this gallery eventually be available for public viewing?

Eventually. Once we get confirmation that the mystery figure is starting to ship and wait a little bit afterwards, we'll unveil the mystery figure's true identity.

im really psyched about these two

Wed Jul 30, 2014 7:31 pm

hell I've only gotten one club figure. I wish there was a way to know when I'm getting the rest.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Jul 30, 2014 7:37 pm

The new subscription ROSANNA figure's gallery sure is awesome! I can't believe you came up with such a convincing subwoofer fan-alt for that tank mold!

This semi-concealed gallery is such a good experiment, it and the spoiler issue a few posts back just inspired a stupid experiment of my own. Thank you.

Maybe make it so in the future you can mouse over the images to reveal the pic with some java magic or something? I mean, if you don't want to see the pics why are you clicking the link to the gallery?

Wed Jul 30, 2014 10:21 pm

Rosanna gallery? I can't find it. I'll look harder. I'll call it the Flip Sides gallery though. Flip Sides is way more interesting than Rosanna.

And don't forget the old gallery code is still functional as well. Just click on "medium" or "large" in the top right hand corner of the gallery.

I have happily been running with Energon Towline as Twincast for a while now. Its, uh, a news van for an alt mode, and the right general colors... well, close.

It's been said to be too close in colors to the deco of the standard Soundwave version. It'd just be another primarily blue version of that toy, which has already been done twice between both the Hasbro and Takara releases of that mold.

It would have been better had Takara released the original Twincast in any other color than blue back in 1987. At least Soundblaster didn't sport a mostly red deco, emulating the original deco of his rival, like Twincast did with his blue deco. 8-}

I added a new gallery navigation item for "spoiler" galleries that let's you enable or disable the "spoiler" images for that specific gallery. It just sets a cookie on your computer for 90 days which should be sufficient. Let me know how you guys like that.

"Disable Spoiler Alert"

I don't see want the big deal is,, we already had two news stories revealing this character already and the images weren't covered/hidden, so why do it for the actual gallery? All it does it makes it more inconvenient for everyone.

To respect the Club's wishes for the secret figure to remain a secret until its official release (Ryan got his early).

That's rubbish, as I mentioned they already posted 2 news stories revealing this figure identity already. If they really respected the clubs wishes they won't have posted either story. Similar if they wanted to respect the Club's wishes why not actually wait until the official release to show the gallery instead of jumping the gun and doing this mess.
