ending like that??

please tell me its a nightmare and wake me up now!!!

You preferred an actual bug-sized Waspinator with Thrust's head? This is MUCH better fate!

Nope I prefer a waspinator with his whole body... =P~

this is why I am going to grab the generations one and forget I ever saw that Thrustinator...

but I want a generations version of Thrust, though :BOWDOWN:

Would be nice...

But anyone else against the Wheeljack body??? I mean, I don't really love that mold. It's too stocky, and the head is buried in the body... I don't know, I just think it's a terrible design/mold for a character like Wheeljack or anyone else (who isn't a big, dumb bruiser).

Vote YES to Referendum 2626: more TF neck. :APPLAUSE:

(Dead End looks a lot slicker in that mold - very Terrorcon).

To be fair, Prime WJ is a bit of a bruiser, though he's also a ridiculously good mechanic.

I dunno, looks cool to me.

Note: NOT official.

Same, I have no problem with Wheeljack being retooled and redecoed into Chromedome.

Besides, Wheeljack's alternate mode works much better than Bumblebee, Knock Out, Smokescreen, and the Vehicons. Assuming they were restricted to Prime molds.

It's pretty much got everything that's been posted about all of the figures thus far.

All that's really missing from it are the head renders and such.

Because it's all in separate articles etc. and you have to click on each to see the details. Like I said, I want it all in a single resource to assess the set as a whole.

There's also the fact that THIS is the site I go to for my Transformers news, not the club. Even when the news is about the club itself.

Not gonna lie, I'm a fan of both the concept and execution. I don't have the funds or desire to subscribe to the service as it is now, though. Since a lot of you don't like it, if anyone that plans on doing so wants to work out some kind of deal where I could take this off their hands as part of a trade or for cash, I'd be open to it. :grin:

TFCC has taken to their Twitter account to show off some in-hand images of their TFSS 2.0 Thrustinator, a remold of Beast Wars 2nd Dirgegun. Check out the mirrored images below, including an nice close up of his head sculpt.

It kicks ass. I'm also amazed they used the BW mold.

Also, it kicks ass.

LOVE IIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

And just to point out, this is post-Beast Machines cartoon universe Waspinator having been given a new form after being stuck in this form:

I've never been a fan of this character, or this mold. Glad plenty of people are, though - mine should be easy to sell

I will always despise the way Beast Machines interacts with other areas of TF continuity (hydrofracking is a perfect analogy for how the organic core was retconned in to make its story work), but DAMN, I never thought anyone would retool-deco the Dirgegun mold into something this awesome!

And if they keep using at least one Japanese Beast Wars mold per subscription batch, it can only get better. Maybe repaint fellow Cyber-Beast Thrustor all silver to represent the Cyber Raptors from 'Cutting Edge'...though that'd be a troop-builder, and therefore more appropriate being released as such at Botcon.

I'd also like to see Archadis with plumage in completely different colors. I love that mold, but it seemed a shame that in the first wave of BM deluxe Dinobots, Airraptor was the only one without a major color scheme change; mostly gold just lightened to yellow, and I hate gold because it makes me think of photodegredation and urine, so Archadis is ironically one of the few JBW toys I haven't been willing to shell out for.

Actually, most of the BW Neo Destron molds could have new character possibilities after AofE. Granted, a few of them have been repainted to death by Hasbro already.

Pretty fugly, but still worth having on my small Beast Wars shelf as an oddity.

Wait... are the wings translucent? :shock:

Where do they get some of these goofy TF names anymore? Thrustinator? Really?

How else would you call a combination of "Thrust" (the BM motorcycle dude) and "Waspinator" (the original)? Besides, in-fiction he's self-named and Waspinator isn't exactly the brightest bulb around. :lol:

I don't know, GoldRabbit maybe?

Better than "Thrustinator". Sounds like some sick German sex toy or something.....

Actually, GoldRabbit is kinda cool......

Still better than Nexus Maximus. That one never gets old.

And I am thinking of (finally) changing my name here actually. I haven't had any gold on me for years, it's all flaked off. :lol:

If I have the cash at the time, I'll buy it off of you. This guy is the only figure I'm interested in.
