Transformers Collector Club Chromedome and Stylor In-Hand Images

The official TCC Twitter account has revealed a couple of images of the upcoming exclusive Chromedome figure and its Headmaster partner Stylor! The figure is based on the Transformers: Prime RID Wheeljack mold, with a Chromedome redeco and ..well, the Headmaster addition (though Stylor does not in fact become Chromedome's head, which is instead based on the IDW Nick Roche design). Check out the images below!

Looks better than I expected. The head sculpt looks really nice. It's a bummer that the Club doesn't do the light piping for the eyes. The head would look really amazing with a nice big blue light piped visor. :D

I find this version of Chromedome rather humorous.

I like it, but it just doesn't fit in my collection.

He's looking nice! I wish they had committed a bit more to an IDW color scheme, but he's definitely a nice hybrid. The swords seem a bit out of place, but I don't think I should be complaining about extra weapons :D

I was really hoping that they would actually do a new
Headmaster figure... I LOVED the G1 ones and if they
would do new ones of the already famous characters, it would be
awesome. It is a shame that this is NOT a real one.
I know that there is a reissue of Fort Max, but if they could do a new
'Titan Class' like they did with Metroplex, but make it a new Fortress Maximus with real Headmasters, I'd preorder that if I had the money!

Looking pretty nice. Sadly this release means we won't be seeing a Generations version any time soon, so my shelf will still be without a Chromey for the time being. The Club releases (and 3rd Party) are too pricey for my tastes.

But if I were to go for this one, I'd say it's a pretty good version of the character and I'd be happy to have it in my collection.

Does anyone have any images of what Stylor transforms into?

Ok, so is this a Prime line toy or a Generations line toy?

Well, here's S.2, who he's repainted from:

Sorry, I'm not awake enough to deal with pics.

Is the choice of a crossbow Micron an homage to the Charge Arrow from the manga? Or is that the sort of thing that'll likely only be confirmed when his full bio's released?

I call this version "not" Chromedome. I guess it kind of works for those of you who missed out on Code.

I really like this,

considering i collect characters rather than lines, then this'll go great with code, the original, kabaya and SCF

Technically neither: it's Timelines, the official toy line for all Club toys. If you're asking if it's a version G1 Chromedome, then yes.

He and Barricade are the only figures I would want from the 2.0 sub line, the others I have no interest in. I didn't re-new my TFCC subscription this year, so will wait and see what prices these pop up for.

He looks fantastic. Can't wait for him to come.

A crossbow.

Neither. It is a Transformers: Timelines toy from the Transformers Collectors Club's 2014 Transformers Figure Subscription Service 2014. It is meant to represent an alternate universe version of IDW G1 Chromedome.

The choice of the S.2 mold was due to it the one humanoid-shaped Arms Micron with the most human-looking face to work with.

Ironic how the official product is labeled as the "Not-" version over the unofficial 3rd party item.

Probably pretty steep since there will not be as many leftovers for this year's subscription service to be sold in the Club Store as there were last year.

You sure Sabrblade? I mean, I admit I share your theory , but this is either a big happy accident, or a very well done piece of research on FunPub's part:

Not to mention well done on Bumblevivisector's part on pointing it out. :APPLAUSE:

By the by, it's worth noting that the S.2 mold is an homage to G1 Devcon, hence the human-looking face.

Aside from Jayz, S.2 is the only humanoid Arms Micron who has a full human-like face with a mouth, eyes, and nose (Jayz has a visor and no nose). And between the two, S.2 is the one with the more Headmaster-ish blocky exosuit proportions.

ONE thing that I don`t like in Hasbro is this cheap way of repaint and call another character

This isn't Hasbro's doing. It's the TCC.

I don't know, this is the club we are talking about so they will probably invent a way to screw 2.0 up

TakaraTomy is just as guilty to that crime. And you think a new head is cheap? Just asking :)

I know, we should have let him be...

I don't like it. Head is too big. Colours are not bad, but its such a huge step down from the design and detail on the G1 version. Even code sucks compared to the G1 version coz the head is all wierdly coloured with lame feet and crappy vehicle front end. G1 was a brick, but until they do something that equals the potential of a fully poseable G1 chromedome, I wont be getting excited.

This is a great mold though, just not for Chromedome.
