The official Transformers Collectors' Club has posted a comic preview featuring the upcoming Transformes Subscription Service characters Breakdown, Slipstream, Circuit, and Jackpot, plus next year's incentive character Depthcharge. Click here to visit their website and check out the two page preview.

TCC members, here is an ADVANCE look at the Epilogue for this years TCC Magazine Comic story "A Flash Forward". While this was set to debut in print in Issue 48 of the TCC Magazine (following the conclusion of this years comic story), we decided that due to the fast approaching deadline for the TFSS, and all the interest in who and where these characters are from, to put the Epilogue online for all to enjoy!

2 speech bubbles in and a scene that should have been awesome has turned to ****. Are we led to believe that Hero Optimus Prime and Cybetron Optimus Primal are a couple of hired goons? Kind of hard to believe.

So the art is pretty great. Not really feeling the story yet. Two pages with entirely separate scenes doesn't help much. The little cues like the Origin Matrix were cool though. I wonder who's carrying that?

I have to agree about the two Optimus characters acting as goons though. Seems par for the course in the Transtech reality. I can't say I'm a fan of it but it does serve as a great story device that allows the use of all facets of TF reality.

I like Depthcharges line though, I gotta remember variations of that.

Also: How does Depthcharge drink? He's got no mouth.

Big money is that they have a speech bubble-free version being prepped for sale. And besides, this is a multiverse aspect, which means that these two are not like the ones you are used to.

Besides... Even with the speech bubbles, I liked the piece. It gets to the point, and I am assuming they are going somewhere with it for 2013. :-?
