Awesome. Consider it bought.

I'm also kind of glad that we don't have any large figures (like Astrotrain or the Seacons), to keep costs down.

Oh hell yea.

looks pretty cool but being that i don't have any other shattered glass figures, i'll probably pass. punch/counterpunch is a must buy though.

so.... essentially American Strafe? k, got it.

Oh, thank God. I'm spending too much on TF's this year as it is and passing on this will be a much needed break! Or I'll put the money towards a second P/CP. Whatever.

No, not quite. Strafe is in red and white while SG Cyclonus is in Rodimus' colors.

I like how it looks, but I don't like the concept. I've grown tired of all these Shattered Glass exclusives... They just don't seem creative.

Helloooooooo..Trying to save up for Botcon here!!!!! Enough with all of these tantilizing exclusives!

I agree with ya there...But the Cyclonus mold is teh secks

Looks like the Shattered Glass version of Cyclonus is going to be the Decepticons' Hot Rod?

that frakkin' rules. I'll be getting that as well.

Sure. If Shattered Glass Cyclonus wasn't introduced first and people were buying Strafe to pose as him.


This is a WILL buy. Guess I'm gonna have to do a custom Galvatron though.

Hmm. I'm torn. I had want edto do Cyclonus up myself, but couldnt fin him. Now tat TFCC is doing him, I'm not sure if I really need SG Cyclonus for the story I'm "telling" or not? Truth be told, I was rather hoping for Omega. Yes, Cyc is more cost-effective, but I really like the Menasor Mold for Omega.

And yet, I love that they're doing more Shattered Glass. But I doubt it can go for too much longer unless they can do something out of the park, like the Energon Structies in white/red.

Total want!Don't have origanal Cyclonus,or a SG fig,so,Why Not?!

Oh yes!

Mine!

So do you have to buy this or is this a free figure? Thinking about joining the TFCC, what were the free figures for previous years?

The free figure this year wil be Dion, which is a repaint of Universe Hot Shot.

You will have to pay for this fig, however members will get a major discount on it (and the counterpunch); somewhere between 20-40 dollars.

Okay, that's cool. Thanks for the info. Doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.

Can someone give me enough information on Punch/counterpunch to tempt me to join? I realize you can't reveal pictures or whatever, but is it based off an existing classics/universe mold?

w00t! I can pay $120AU to save about $50AU!

Or I could spend a few grand to get discounted BotCon tickets.

Not impressed with the colour scheme, never liked the Shattered Glass storyline, so this year is looking to be a pass on membership.

Awesome! I would have liked Omega Doom too, but this is still really good. I love Nightsticks orange fire crotch. Can't wait! Now I gotta decide if I should go Completest and get Henkei Cyclonus too.


Actually, now that I think about it, it would have been better for the Club if they had done Omega Doom instead. Sure it a bigger toy and would require a head remold, but they could repaint him into Supreme, and even Spreem, to help recoup the cost. Maybe a future BotCon exclusive?

As far as I'm aware, there's been no images of the toy itself, or even a photoshop mockup of it. However he will use the Universe Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold and will have a new head mold.

Actually there were some pics made available by the collectors club site. Notably, the designs for the 2 Heads.

Anyway, Punch/CounterPunch is going to use the Universe Suntreaker/Sideswipe Mold. Which already has all the transformation necessary to accommodate both robot modes.

No TFCC exclusive has ever been a new mold they always use existing molds with minor changes and a new paint scheme.

Now of course this figure is not the Membership Free Figure. Rather Just another of the TFCC figures than can be purchased from the TFCC store.

BBTS will likely carry it for Non members as well at a better price than the club's Non-Member Price no doubt.

The Free Membership figure is going to be Dion a repaint of Universe Armada Hot Shot.

Counterpunch wrote:Oh hell yea.

My sentiments exactly.


The fandom said a Cyclonus mold couldn't be repainted.
Has/Tak/FunPub said "Watch this."

Four color schemes from a Cyclonus mold? And they sell like hotcakes? Now that's just expert marketing.

* sigh *

I had hoped that we had seen the last of the Shattered Glass storyline. Never been a fan of "heroic" Decepticons and "evil" Autobots. Doesn't make any sense at all. Fun for a "what if" storyline but not for an entire BotCon set, club comics and additional club exclusive figures.

Also not a fan that the Cyclonus mold has now been used twice as an "Autobot". I call blasphemy.

Surprised so many of you like this.
