The Energon Pub

I don't care for the look of this figure at all. I know its a computer rendering and not the actual figure itself, so my opinion is certainly subject to change, but I don't care for that color scheme on this figure.

Directly from Pete Sinclair over at FunPub and the Transformers Collectors' Club, we have yet another update on the Transformers Subscription Service 4.0, and the figure non-affiliated with the Mayhem Attack Squad: Impactor! Check out the mirrored image, and read more below too.

Hello! Yesterday we unveiled Bludgeon, today, find attached our final INDIVIDUAL figure reveal, IMPACTOR with bonus weapons pack. However, that doesn’t mean we are done yet! Tomorrow we reveal the COMBINED mode of the Mayhem Attack Squad! And we have a couple last minute art reveals on their way as well!

The TFSS 4.0 order period will be open through September 2nd. In addition to the new head sculpts for Bludgeon and Impactor, the combined mode of the 5 figures that make up the Mayhem Attack Squad will feature a brand new head sculpt as well!

The service is available to anyone who is a member of the Transformers Collectors’ Club. The cost of this additional service is $297 (plus shipping). People can pay all at once or in 3 installments. Once again, the 6 toys that make up the COMBINER WARS themed TFSS 4.0 are: Bludgeon, Windsweeper, Spinister, Ruckus and Needlenose (The Mayhem Attack Squad) along with Impactor (Leader of the Wreckers). In addition to that, subscribers will receive a BONUS 7th figure to be mailed out with your final shipment (The identity of the 7th figure will be revealed once subscribers get their final shipment.)

A reminder to your readers: Like with the TFSS 3.0, we do not anticipate having any extra individual units of the 6 figures for sale in the TCC Store, so your best bet to ensure you get these great figures is to order your TFSS 4.0 today!

So Impactor comes with all those weapons, right? What can you do with them?

Well hush my mouth. I didn't think he could hold any of that. Thanks for the verification!

Still, I think they could've sprung for a drill and harpoon attachment...

Oh my... Those are some colours...

Too many weapons. I know that much more senior fans love weapons, but if I can't store it all in Alt- and bot-mode, there is too much. And I see that it CAN store in all those modes, but it is still a bit much.

Not a huge fan of the weapons pack but he does look dead sexy so all is good.

its interesting that he comes with Arcee's Weapons, wonder if that could give a reference on who figure 7 is

The 7th figure is a CW Deluxe.

He looks so cool. I want him so bad. Love all the weapons, Very Impactor

I cannot believe that we're actually getting an officially-released Impactor.

Now, let's step it up with a Rack 'n Ruin!

Looking good...would love to finally get Rack'n'Ruin too...

They all plug into his cannon fists like integrated weaponry

He hates anything Fun Pub does, toy or fiction-related.

Oh okay, any particular reason?

okay so here's my problem. Impactor is supposed to have a murder arm, where a weapon replaces the hand. The problem with combiner wars rook is that the weapon ports are on his wrist, so the figure, clearly has two hands. Having those two hands ruins Impactor's look in my opinion. Arcee's swords don't resemble impactor's melee lozenge. Another important aspect is the rectangular barrel for his gun mounted on his shoulder, more accurately for human anatomy mounted on the Scapula/Clavicle bones. Neither the handfootgun, nor arcee's guns resemble impactor's rectangular shoulder mounted gun, and are instead connected to the upper arm or more accurately Humerus. The more they show and add to impactor, the less I feel the Combiner Wars rook mold was suited for it.

I'm not saying i've seen every thing the club has done, or played with every figure. But I do think it's a pretty amazing planet we live on, and a man would have to be some kinda fool to think I hate everything the club has done. Just most things.

The weapon ports are in his fists though not his wrists. And sure it's not perfect but there's not much you can do with very limited remolding and paint.

Impactor has two hands:

One can just be swapped out for weapons.

And now with this toy, both of them can. :michaelbay:

Even though it won't sway your opinion, I feel it necessary to point out that his weapon arm is apparently painted completely purple, whereas the other arm's hand is orange. So there is an illusion that the other hand is gone.

Of all molds, I think that Rook one is working very well for Impactor. He may lack his shoulder cannon (but many do nowadays) and he has the appearance of a weapon arm (the paint was a pretty good idea) so I really like him
