The Official Transformers Collectors' Club has tweeted an image of three of their upcoming subscription service figures, Scourge, Circuit, and Breakdown. These are just samples and not the final figures. Details regarding the subscription service have yet to be revealed, but we'll be sure to post them as soon as they become available. Check out the image below.

Update: TFCC has shared a robot mode image of the Breakdown sample via the facebook page. According to one of their responses to the image details regarding the subscription service should be revealed over the next couple of days.

ooh, Circuit is hideous! I love him! The other two are unsurprising, but appear to be well done, in those modes at least. I'm still grumpy that Hasbro couldn't give us Scourge though.

Right,

makes him Car Robot Black Convoy,

makes him RiD Scourge, gotcha.

Personally, I think they all look pretty good. Bring on Slipstream and Ultra Mammoth!

I want em all except that stupid mammoth. Ive been had G1 Breakdown (CHMS) so it's no big big deal to me. And Scourge wont really be Scourge until they release a black repaint of Battle Tanker. Either way Im all in.

I'm excited for most of these figs except for Slipstream and Jackpot. I'm sure there will be someone willing to take them off my hands.

Not excited about Slipstream!!??? Yeah, someone will snatch that up off of you quick.

I had a custom made using the classics seeker mold some time back which I'm quite happy with.

I'm liking Scourge and Circuit and am looking forward to Slipstream but I'm not interested in noncombining Stunticons I'm sorry to say. Ultra Mammoth is... undecided. I have the mold twice already and it was never really one of my favorites.

I was hoping we'd get this type of news soon, since the Joe subscription info is already out. I'm hoping Breakdown is the first release, but will not begrudge anyone if he's not.

ohhhh hell yeah, cant wait to get these. scourge, breakdown and slipstream. all others are a pass.

I really hate when they use 1 name for 2 distinct characters. scourge is galvatron's lackey not some random con semi.

Even though his toys had

marks, Scourge the character still had :RENEGADE:

marks in the cartoon.

Are these just items only available from TFCC or the free figure(s). If one of them isnt the free one, any idea when that will be announced?

It was announced way back at BotCon that the free figure for next year would be Depth Charge.

by **tmk9883** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 9:32 pm

Cool, I guess I missed that.

Depth Charge is really pretty nice. We could have used some of that pink on Skyquake.

by **r3devi7** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:13 pm

Well, I see no reason to renew. Nice, but not good enough.

I'm pretty excited for all the subscription figures, except Circuit. I really don't give two hoots about him.

The TFPrime Seeker design is just perfect for Slipstream.
Scourge will be nice, since I acquired Car Robots Black Convoy at Botcon 2012.
Depthcharge brings back my affection for Beast Wars.
Jackpot, because I love seeing Action Master only characters finally getting transformable figures.
Breakdown will go nicely with HTS Dragstrip...
Now if only they'd do Classics versions for the rest of the Stunticons.
And Ultra Mammoth is just plain FUN.

He's next year's convention's free figure.

Hate to break it to you, but there are 4 Scourges: space bathtub ship Scourge, black Optimus repaint Scourge, Transmetal locust Scourge, and 3-headed dragon Scourge.
Personally I think the name "Scourge" fits them all, but whatevers...

I'm kinda disappointed Scourge isn't a retail repaint, but I think that's mostly because he's the 3rd convention/club exclusive use of the mold within a year. That, and the original, being an RtS figure, really didn't get that much saturation in stores around here.

OMG Scourge. I wonder how pricey these things will be. If I can't afford to joing up/pay for shipping I have a friend who's offered to pick one up for me if he's able to order more than one.

Don't forget the wise, knowledgable and respected heroic Decepticon Scourge.

by **quickmixed** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 11:56 pm

I'm looking forward to the majority of these figures, but restraining myself from getting too amped until we find out more details about the entire subscription service.

Most importantly - price.

Heh, at this point Scourge could replace his Sweeps with more Scourges.

Ehh, if I'm going to pay for an overpriced Breakdown, I'm going with the one that isn't a repaint and can actually combine. Sorry TFCC, Fansproject all the way.
