Has the TFCC run redecos of their own products like the Double Pretenders before?
I thought it strange (and kinda unoriginal) for TFCC to take a page out of Hasbro's book and just rehash a toy like that....especially so soon after the Botcon toy's release.
2005: BotCon Chromia and Flarup, BotCon Ironhide and Autobot Ratchet
2006: BotCon Axalon Cheetor and Unit 2 (Tigatron)
2007: BotCon Thrust's wings would be reused for TFSS Nacelle in 2015 (though, Nacelle would use the standard Seeker head/nosecone rather than the Conehead version)
2008: TCC Nightbeat and BotCon SG Nightbeat, BotCon SG Jazz and SG Ricochet
2009: BotCon Scourge and Sweeps
2010: BotCon G2 Breakdown would be redecoed into TFSS G1 Breakdown in 2013
2011: BotCon Breakdown and Sideswipe, BotCon Fisitron and Autotroopers
2012: TCC Runamuck and Over-Run
2013: TFSS Breakdown was a redeco of BotCon G2 Breakdown from 2010, BotCon Hoist and Autobot Electrons, BotCon Strika and Blastcharge Strika Drone, BotCon Skywarp and Thundercracker
2014: TCC Rampage and BotCon Pirate Hunter, TCC Rewind and Eject
2015: TCC Lio Convoy and Nova Prime and BotCon Galva Convoy, Nacelle uses BotCon Thrust's wings from 2007, BotCon Oilmaster's Pretender shell and 2017 TFSS Optimus Prime's Pretender shell
2016: TCC Ramjet and Skywarp

Thank you to each and every one of you that has supported us over the last 12 years. The party isn't over yet though as we have a big year still to come, with the TFSS 4.0 starting to ship next month and the TFSS 5.0 starting soon! At BotCon 2016 we will be revealing all six TFSS 5.0 figures, so stay tuned for that.
In regard to memberships, some quick follow ups. If you are a member as of March 16th, 2016 you will be able to purchase the TFSS 5.0. If your membership expires during the time period when the 4.0 or 5.0 are shipping, you STILL can pay the installments (if that is the option you selected) and you will receive all your figures as you normally would.
As far as concerns over auto renewals after March 16th. As we have said, we are not taking any new memberships after this date, so there are no auto renewals as there will be no memberships to renew.
Finally, back to the very first point. Thank you! Thousands upon thousands of you have supported the Club over the years and right now, as of today, the TCC is the strongest it has been in a few years! That is because of all of you! Those who enjoy what the TCC offers and enjoy what we do. You are an amazing fan base and thanks to all of you who continue to have an important impact on the hobby! You all are what makes this fun to do!

If I have updated my CC info already, does my membership auto reneew, or do I need to purchase it again?
Also, is it to late to sign up for the figure subscription service(the one with Pretender Prime, Medic, etc)?
Dr Va'al wrote:Via TFCC envoy to the Seibertron.com boards TF_JW, we have an update on the future of the Club itself after this year's BotCon and Figure Subscription Service - it appears that TFSS 5.0, for which the registration deadline is tomorrow March 16th, will be the last for FunPub and their collaboration with Hasbro.
