The fifth figure in the Official Transformers Collectors' Club TFSS 1.0 is starting to ship! Twitter user @pile_of_butts hit the Jackpot.......literally. Animated Jackpot is repaint of Transformers Animated Jazz featuring a new head sculpt. Five down and one to go, which will obviously be be the highly anticipated Ultra Mammoth. Check out @pile_of_butts' images below.

Not interested in this one. Anyone want mine? $35 + s/h.

Now we just need to get Animated Laserbeak repainted into Animated Sights. I know many Action Master partners were forgettable, and maybe it was just that his pegs allowed Jackpot to surf on him, but there was something that really endeared Sights to me back in the day.

Looks okay, but I still would've preferred the Classics-affiliated aesthetic offered by Reveal the ShieldGenerations Jazz.

YAHOOOOOOOOOO! I knew he'd be next, and he's one that I've been VERY excited about! :KREMZEEK:

I like Animated, I like Jackpot, so this is win-win for me!

His bio doesn't give him a home dimension, so I'm guessing its safe to assume that he's from the main Animated universe rather than some minor one related to it (like "The Cool" manga or whatever).

I wonder how the Transtech feel about having to deal with the rambunctiousness of yet another Jackpot in Axiom Nexus? Jackpot IV, perhaps?

It would be nice if a 3rd party could make a more serious head for this figure. Something classics style minus the huge jaw. That way he would look good next to Kickoff and Circuit.

What are you talking about? That head is perfect for Jackpot. It totally fits his lively, jokey, happy-go-lucky personality. He's one of the most fun-loving dudes ever. "Jackpot" and "serious" do not mix.

Plus, using a Classics-ish head on an Animated body just doesn't look right, aesthetically speaking.

YES...this is one of the three figures I joined this for!

I admit, I'm concerned...I got a fake-looking email a week or so ago that claimed to be from the OTFCC and said my CC had declined and wanted me to call and give them a new number and CV number code over the phone. I blew it off since A} my CC still had the required amount on it and B} with all the security problems they had, I wasn't going to call a number from an email with no OTFCC markings or way to confirm it, but, on the off chance it was legit, hopefully Jackpot will still show up in the Club Store like the rest of the subscription figs have (or I can just buy it off that first poster...you take PayPal?).
