If they haven't started arriving already, your TFSS 3.0 figure #3 should show up very soon. So keep an eye out!

Sweet! We've got SerpentO.R., Tarantulas, Krok, and G2 Starscream (bonus figure too) left to go. Wonder who's next! I'm guessing G2 Starscream.

I'm excited. Seeing as I just put out my Pre-BW figures again, I'm kinda hoping it'll be Tarantulas.

I'd guess this is gonna be Serpent-OR to time up with the other GI Joe/TF Crossover stuff being released. Guess we'll know soon.

G2 Starscream. G2 Starscream. G2 Starscream. No whammies, no whammies stop! Looked it up online. ****. Well I've still yet to figure out what Oregon has to do with this figure.

Someone on another site got theirs in the mail. Wanna know who it is?

I spoiled it already what other figure has O.R Oregon postal code XD

Got him this afternoon. So, are we really playing this "guess who" game or should I post pics (or else it didn't happen)?

We believe you. I will be posting a news post soon. Can you let us know if from now on your would rather not spoil the figures or is it first come first spoil? Let us know how we should handle news posting from now on, regarding these.

The secret is out. We received this message a few days ago:

And now enough have received their figure to know that it is none other than: Serpent O.R.

Both Seibertronians Bounti76 and Durroth sent us some pictures of their newly received figure (Bounti76 even made a super cute unboxing). For those who ordered him, you should be getting him very soon unless you have him already.

Neat! I've had his minicons for a while now, awaiting their master.

Mine arrived today too! What an unexpected surprise.

I recall people (myself included) were bummed at the mustard brown plastic replacing the brighter gold we saw in the promo / mock up pics. I must say though, it isn't bad - it's a lighter brown-yellow mustard color than originally thought, and it features metallic specks (the green plastic does, too!). Still not as good as the original color scheme, IMHO, but I'm still quite pleased with how he turned out.

Especially paired with Vipers!

Can you remind me what the micron's name is? I may have to pick him up now...

The Cobra one that forms the top of the staff is Gob. I'm not sure who the other one is.

BTW, in the comic, SerpentOR use the pink coloration of the pair. They were on Ebay for like $4 a piece. May have gone up now due to TFSS raising demand.

Gob and Zad. Specifically the pink versions, Gob 2 and Zad 2.

I'm just curious, is the midsection of the staff included with one of these microns? The pictures on eBay don't exactly show too much :p

The midsection of the staff is formed by Zad and Gob's tails. They each have a 5mm peg which then peg into the top and bottom of SerpentOR's fist.

So it's not a free-standing staff. It has to be in SerpentOR's hand or else the two halves stay two separate Minicons.

Agabyss has the two Microns for cheap on ebay: Gob 2 and Zad 2.

The tail of each of them goes in one side of the hand to make them appear as a solid piece when held by the figure. There isn't a real midsection to it if it's created to appear how Burcham drew it in the comic.

Awesome, thanks lads!!

Just sayin', I highly reccomend experimentin' with the microns. I'll leave this here.

Yeah, that's the great thing about Arms Microns - There were the official combinations, but you could come up with so many great fan modes in addition to those ones.

Looking at the original promo shots, I think I got it a bit wrong - those were more a gold/bronze, and I think we were under the impression those parts would be metallic.

Still, the more I handle him, the more I'm pleased. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of his staff.

The very first promo shots were digital mock-ups using, well, the very first images of Takara Tomy's Ratbat. If you remember, those images of Ratbat had him with extra metallic as well.
