The Energon Pub

As many you are already aware the TFCC 2013 membership incentive figure Depth Charge was available in both polybagged and carded versions over the weekend at BotCon. We can now report that the figure has also been shipped out and is arriving in member's mailboxes. Image below courtesy of facebook user and Witchita Transfans member Jarrod Vulgamore.

Should. Have. Signed. Uppppppppppppp...

Looking forward to getting mine in; however i was wondering if the cardbacked figs were only available at the Con or if i missed an option to get one instead of the traditional bagged version with my subscription.

Hello Sky-byte.

Not sure, I wasn't even aware they were doing a carded version until I saw it over the weekend. If they didn't sell out they may end up available via the club store. Oh, and the figure they are mailing isn't bagged this year. It comes in packaging just like TFSS Scourge did, plain cardboard box with a foam insert.

While I'm a bit jealous that I can't get MW Starscream yet, Depthcharge does look a lot better. Going by the picture, the yellow doesn't seem to stand out as much as the official pic made it seem. That's very nice.

Thanks for the info.
So if it is coming in the cardboard and foam combo, I wonder if it will be as horribly packed in too small of a box like Scourge was.

I can let you know when I get home from my office. Postman tried to deliver mine yesterday, but it required a signature and I guess he didn't think I was home because he didn't even attempt delivery, just left a slip.

Mine still hasn't come yet.

Didn't buy the carded one at BotCon.

Are those HALO novels??? Haha! J/K, I haven't read one so I wouldn't even know.

Uncultured swine...

I've read most of them, and they're all pretty good. As a matter of fact, next time I'm at a library, I'm going to see if they have copies of that Forerunner Saga I've yet to read.

Diss the games, and I'll personally go to your house and force you to watch political debate shows. Well, you can diss Halo 4; compared to previous Halo titles, Halo 4 requires little to no skill to play.

The box was a larger than Scourge's so Depth Charge fit very well with no scratches to the paint or bending of the card. The paint job in plane mode is excellent - this is really a handsome figure. Doesn't hurt the Terradive mold is one of my favorite TF molds.
