Only if it's made out of the Generations Legends Starscream mold instead of the Classics Seeker mold since the 7th figure's gonna be a Generations Legends mold.

Well then i'm wrong, but honestly why a legends mold this time around? Baring Whether or not the character reflects the size like say it's supposed to be a minibot repaint, it kinda feels like a cop-out. 1.0 had the 5 deluxes then one ultra (mammoth), 2.0 had 6 deluxes, three microns and 2 Scouts, so it sota evens out. this one has 6 deluxes one micron, a kreon, a kreo set that shouldn't be that big, and (1?) Generations Legend; it doesn't feel as portioned as the other two I suppose.
This one will have 3 Microns.

I'ma dumbass I only saw Krok's :lol:

, but im sure you get my point, even though 1.0 had 5 deluxes and ultra mammoth, 2.0 had the three microns 5 deluxes and 2 scouts, so it felt like a progression even if there wasn't an ultra, there were still more toys to make up for it. This one dosen't; 6 deluxes is great, but 2 of the three microns are the same, the special figure's another size class smaller, and to make up for it are kreos and a kreon. Kreon blackrock's fine, but the kreo gas pump feel more like padding, and it looks it aswell.

GORGEOUS!

Serpent O.R., especially! =P~

And those colors on Tarantulas look a whole lot better than the original proposed deco. ;)^

6 deluxes (5 molds, 2 new heads, 1 retooled mold?), 3 microns (2 molds), 1 legends class (It wouldn't be a perfect match, but Brawn from Gears maybe?) It's possible we could get another micron or a targetmaster with the legends figure.

That was already on Hasbro's agenda.

The Legends figure will more than likely be one that's no newer than the Swerve and Cosmos wave.

I could see them giving us Emirate Xaaron from Megatron.

I know one of the unofficial conventions did this, but what's the likelihood of pathfinder from cosmos?

Hmm...

News Credits: 25 · by **SW's SilverHammer** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 12:32 am

ooooooh that managed to look tacky. I know it's the train of thought's IDW xaaron because he has an actual featured face instead of a grill for a mouth, but if they're going to go the legends megatron route they should do gold with the off blue/silver as accents to make it look distinctive. The off blue that was used for shading in Marvel U.K comics i know the legs and head were meant to be silvery.

Also just as an aside, not related to the club, Generations Orion pax with a different head would make an alright Xaaron from how he's drawn in Chaos theory.

Save for his not being a tank (if IDW Xaaron has the same altmode as his Marvel self, that is).

Eh, it's not like he transforms much anyway.

(Yeah I know g1 uk xaaron and idw xaaron are different, but it's a funny part of the characters history; in a gallows humor sorta way.)

If there is a Xaaron I will put the trigger on TFSS-3, I got TFSS-2 and am very happy so far but I'm not so sure on all the figure this time but Xaaron......

sorry i just woke up but that thing is more shiny than a shiny charizard :ic$:

but maybe give it a different micromaster/ targetmaster partner but who would he be compatible with? hmm...

Krok looks really sweet. It's almost like that IDW Megatron mold was made for him when you look at his action master figure. Although I subbed TFSS 2.0 very happily, 3.0 I think I will have to skip as none of these, other than Krok, strike my fancy and as a TFCC member I may be able to pick him up later. It's just by the action master and then G2 to Beast Wars days I was starting my teen years and wasn't into Transformers for a while. Plus, I know it may be a sin but I'm not that big a fan of the classic seeker mold after I got the IDW/FoC seekers. But I would think these figures do fill a few people's collection needs.

Really trying hard to resist this, now. They all look good, but I've no need for a GI Joe homage, I've no need for a companion piece for the Dawn of Future's Past set I do not have (do Depth Charge and Rampage count?), and I've no need for a vague reference to a cancelled Takara line. Krok, Nacelle, and G2 Starscream are the only ones from this set that I truly would love to have.

Plus, even if I wanted to get in on this (and it's very tempting), not sure if I could rake in that much dough in less than a month...

Well, for the chance to get Marissa, I'm gonna join the Club. She alone would be worth it for me.

still waits for official redecorations of Mind Master's Picture of the East Cybertron Trading Co.

I was thinking of doing this just for Serpent O.R. but with 3 masterpieces coming I just can't do it now. Hopefully I can get the figure off BBTS, I have a dream of being the first reviewer front paged on Joe and Transformers sites for the same figure at the same time.

Honestly, I just want the Blackrock Kreon with the mini Kre-O kit he comes with. I don't care for the human Kreons less they depict a human character from the Transformers franchise (Like they did with Captain Fanzone and Kicker).

... Also, just WHAT is his kit supposed to be? A cannon?

When did they do Fanzone and Kicker?

In a pair of the Beast Hunters sets. Beast Blade Optimus Prime had Kicker, and Battle Net Bumblebee came with Fanzone (but he wasn't referred to as Fanzone, simply Police Captain or something similar).

Also, the Ripclaw Strike set had Daniel 'Sparkplug' Witwicky from the IDW Comics.

Its ironic that out of the 3 characters this mold has been used for, that megatron is the worst use. Kroc and Dreadwing really are so much better.
