The Energon Pub

chenkofs of hk-tf has posted several prototype images of two new offerings from TFClub, the group that brought us the Gear of War and Gear of War 2 sets.
TFC EX-004 appears to contain Legends-sized figures that represent G1 characters that transform into weapons.
TFC-006 Phantom of Screamer contains several bits to make that Masterpiece Starscream a little more complete, such as a new set of hips, a Shockwave Gun, and a weapon extension similar to that seen deployed by the Seeker Drones in the now-defunct War Within series from Dreamweave.
TFC-006 B will be the Coronation of Starscream set, this time translucent for the Masterpiece Ghost Starscream.

The mini targetmaster figs look neat but I don't know exactly what to think of them or what to do with them.

I really like the crown set for the Ghost SS... unfortunately I had to cancel my preorder because after BotCon I just don't have enough :\

Huh. The Targetmasters are really weird... but the additional MP accessories are pretty cool, even though they don't work for Greenscream.

I want a giant-sized version of that Megatron! He looks awesome! A lot bulkier and tougher than MP Megs.

I may plan on getting the mini-Megs and the Clear Coronation set for my MP Skywarp. And possibly mini-Shockwave too.

Hmmm, the targetmasters were a strange idea. They look pretty good though. I like the MP Starscream accessories but not enough to dip into my wallet for.

Pass on the target masters guns (or mini G1 figures). If they would make some original guns, might consider.

Pass on the Ghost coronation set. I have the original, and doesn't make sense to crown him 'king' when he's dead already. That cape should be some sort of clear-vinyl, also.

I'd be much more interested in some clear BLUE fists to replace the clear 'white' ones



Like the hip replacement set. I MIGHT consider it.

Isn't Hasbro making their own Legends Megatron that turns into a gun?

You are correct. He was mentioned at the designers panel on the last day of Botcon, I believe.

And it can also be held by MP Starscream

I kinda like not-Hot Rod.

The Starscream bits ... well, I like that they made a MP-sized Shockwave. Gotta wonder if he'll work witht he other MPs.

I really digg the TFC EX-004

This may seem like a stupid theory, but remember back a week ago when Hasbro announced they'd make a Legends scale Megatron that Masterpiece Starscream can wield? Well, this may be the prototype images we're looking at here!!!

I find it highly unlikely. TFClub doesn't post Hasbro prototypes.

I really hope the Megatron and Not Rod have 5mm pegs as I love the idea of a Targetmaster Megatron and the Roddy one looks cool! Shame the Shockwave one is only Masterpiece sized. Other than the clear coronation set, what the heck is that with Starscream??

Not Rod?


I agree with you though. I'd like these things to be true G1 Targetmasters as well, and it's a downer Shockwave's meant for MP Screamer.

Did anyone ever wield Shockwave? It didn't happen in the cartoon.

why does it look like 1 hip piece connects to the other via a slot in one and that tab they hooked shockwave to

I mentioned the idea to FP about replacement pieces to make screamer a little more translucent.. like the hips, fists of a different color, pieces to swap out the inside tail sections, pieces where the elbow/shoulder joints are (little grey sections), a new head, and i doubt much can be done about the pin sections (hinges for wing flaps)

Bruticus, and in one instance, Shockwave.

Shockwave was able to wield himself? Really?

Got a screen shot of it? I'd really like to see that.

Hip replacements are cool but WTF is that mess of garbage in Screamer's left hand? I'm not talking about Shockwave.

Good grief. I wouldn't believe it if you didn't give me a screen shot...
