TFCC Magazine #23 Sneek Peek: 25th Anniversary Preview

Motto: "Til All Are One."
Weapon: Dual Laser Cannon
The Transformers Collector's Club has just updated its website with a look at the cover for the TFCC Magazine #23 that will soon be found in the mailboxes of members worldwide. Here's what they have to share on the new issue:

09/25/08 - The 25th Anniversary is almost here!

Issue 23 of Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine features an in depth look at the upcoming 25th Anniversary with an amazing toy preview, an interview with Bill Rawley and a chat with Susan Blu, a staple with Transformers since almost the very beginning. That mixed with all the other great features; profiles, reviews and the ongoing Club Comic, this is one issue you don't want to miss!

A quick thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered the Seacons and Nightbeat. They are selling fast and we expect both to be gone in the near future. If you are not a member yet, or you have been waiting to renew your membership, there is never a better time to join than now! With so much on tap for 2009, we are all looking forward to a great year!


Wanna see the cover? Your gonna have to head over to the Official Transformers Collectors Club site for a look. And while you're there, check out all the benefits joining the Club has to offer. To do that, click here.

Ah, my first look at Universe Smokescreen! Very nice! My only real gripe is that the white stripe on the side is too thick IMO. It should've been thinner which would allow more blue on the doors. But, that's only a minor complaint. Overall, Smokey's lookin' hot! Can't wait to see his 'bot mode.

RiD Robot Heroes? Nice.

Everything looks so nice this year. I want those Seacons most of all though.

Ugh... I love those little robot heros, but man it's harder to find storage space for all these TF figures! Now we have a damn good guess that the series will spill into the other TF series (Unicron triology).

Robot heroes meh!. I'd would have much rathered a re-paint of the Real RID Megatron mold for 25th Anniversary. Maybe in Sixshot colors or Hun-Grrr colors.

Smokescreen looks good. But the mold really isn't good enough to warrant an additional purchase.

Cosmos looks nice though.

I forget when are Nightbeat and the Seacons due out? While I like the idea of the minibots getting the classics treatment as legends class figures I was really hoping a few more of them could get upgraded to deluxe or larger molds, Brawn in particular.

Wow, the Smokescreen looks awesome! Finally a full trio of Autobot cars. :D

Legends Cosmos looks great too, I'll be picking up all of these G1-inspired guys.

I am absolutely LOVING Cosmos & Smokescreen. The RID Robot Heroes do not interest me in the slightest, seeing as that series was my least favorite out of every TF series. Mighty Muggs Soundwave will have to grow on me before I decide to buy him or not.....

The image worked yesterday. Did they purposely pull it, or is it just a technical glitch? Anyone save a copy we can re-post here?

Cosmos looks great, he's such a fun little character - he definately deserves a new figure.

Smokescreen looks nice, as his colours always do but I feel the Classic 350Z mold is pretty average so I'll wait for a sale to pick him up.

See RID Galvatron for a perfect Hun-Grrr stand-in!

That's what I'm using! :-)

I've also got a good Blot & Rippersnapper and I'm working on Cutthroat.

Now if I could just figure out something for Sinnertwin. :sad:

Is that Cosmos the same mold they were planning on using for the Titanium Cosmos?
