Shame, it's one of the best molds around. Hopefully HasTak will come up with some more uses for it now that the club is done with it.

Odd thing is... these two unreleased characters look AMAZING in these colors. Really, two of the strongest paint schemes out of the entire "set" of 30. Seriously... There are a lot of dull rust, dark blue, gray, army green, etc. (Given, I LOVE those characters and schemes.) Just have to say, these to REALLY pop from a design standpoint.

That said, in making a 'complete' list of the 31+... The CHMS versions add quite a few to the list. I recall they had their version of Rainmakers, alternate "toxic" rainmakers, Sunstorm in a couple colors (?), lavender generic seeker, various Starscreams... plus a few chrome versions.

Anyone have that complete list to contribute for trivia sake?

the standouts:

Other KOs:

I have many of these too. Honestly, the quality is subpar compared to legit TFs. Obviously. I transformed the chromed ones, but I don't think I can get them back into jet mode again without a lot of work, but at least they look pretty on the shelf. I hear the black one oxidized for some, though.

I have the pure clear seeker and it's absolute ****. Broke on me through normal use and is pretty floppy. I got three more when KO toys went under as fodder for spare parts because I'm suborn. I don't display them. Never got the conehead guys. The clear Rainmakers glow in the dark, but are apparently even more fragile than the all clear ones, so nuts to that.

In hand the pink one actually looks real nice.

Anyhow, there you have it. These KOs were once plentiful, but you'd have to really go out of your way to hunt them down at this point.

You know, I just remembered something.

This news isn't new.

It was first announced back at BotCon 2014 that Nacelle and G2 Starscream would be the Club's last uses of this mold for the time being, with no plans to use it again for the foreseeable future.

So really, this is just a reminder of something we were already told seven months ago.

Well, at least Nacelle is a great addition. I like the reference to the old prototype. But I'd have liked to see G2 prototype Sandstorm (I think that was the name). Oh, well, it has a great run.

I can't help but agree that it's too small and unarticulated for a character set like the Seekers. Yet it remains the best version of the Seekers, to me at least. None of the other deluxe moulds are much larger and, to me, this is how a Seeker is supposed to look like.

Well... you could what I did for a prototype G2 Sandstorm...I took the nose cone from a junker Thundercracker and the body of a Ramjet, grabbed some tan/khaki flavored Fusion paint, and built one, and threw in some black missiles from the junker parts bin.(It's over on the Customizations board).

Does anyone have any idea of the release order for tfss 3.0, specifically Krok?

That's usually kept a secret, to surprise us when each figure arrives at our homes.

Though there's speculation based on which characters have been leaked, which ones have previews and which ones we haven't seen is an indication of the release order.

That's fine, just wondering if I had time for my wallet to recover from Takara's February-March decimation of my credit card

There are some figures loose available on eBay. From the looks of it the figures might be coming bagged this year.

Beatleman65 on imgur.com has posted in-bag images of the Transformers Collectors' Club 3.0 G2 Starscream and Nacelle figures.

We were previously given an in hand image of Nacelle's bot mode and these images now show us his alt mode, as well as G2 Starscream's and they have been mirrored below.

These will be the last uses of the Classics seeker mold.

Oh good! Nacelle's blue looks dark enough after all.

Nice. I'm really liking G21 Starscream.

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 12:32 pm

oh wow. G2 Screamer looks way better than any custom I could have thrown together. Massive props to the club for these two planes. Huge props. They look amazing.

:APPLAUSE:

Looks awesome !

Now can we get a petition for Redwing going now ?

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 1:49 pm

Hellz yeah. Someone start a petition for Redwing and SG Dirge as a box set. I will sign.

While I'm still gonna wind up getting G2 Starscream (having paid the TFSS in full), I'm not looking forward to him as much as the others, after what that spawn of a glitch did to Cannonball. :evil:

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 2:15 pm

I sure am. Gonna clear a spot on the G2 Botcon Redux shelf for him right now!! Move over G2 Ramjet.

Adding to the recent report of TFCC Subscription Service 3.0 Nacelle and G2 Starscream, the same source has provided shots of the Lio Convoy repaint, with new head, of the Generations Orion Pax mold! Check out both the robot and vehicle mode below.

Gotta wonder if he's good or bad.

by **Railbomb** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 3:17 pm

Wow... those shoulders look different painted. Had to look at my Orion Pax real quick to make sure they're the same ones, though I think they would bring attention to it if they did.
