TFCC have tweeted an image of their upcoming subscription service figure Circuit in robot mode along with his original Action Master counterpart. The figure is a redeco of Deluxe HFTD Axor. The subscription service is now live, sign up by clicking here.

Having a decent collection of G2 bots, and the Botcon set... I'm kinda loving this guy. I do appreciate the thoughtful nod to obscure characters and toylines. Props for that. Will proudly display this guy with the Botcon 2010 bots.

Um... Wow... ^^^

Aaaaaaaanyway, on topic. Circuit is gorgeous and a thing of pure beauty. Anyone who says otherwise is just plain wrong and should probably seek psychiatric help. :grin:

It melts my eyes.

The more they reveal about this service, the less interested I am.

For the first year, they should have gone with some fan-service homages of classic G1 figures instead of obscure Action Master homages and the like.

You DO know that they can't just pick ANY figure they want, right? If Hasbro or Takara is even THINKING about using any said G1 figure in the next couple years... it's off limits. That's why they're obscure.

I think, no i'm sure, my eyes are bleeding.

Well I have no regrets not subscribing to this.

wow that sure is some orange.

I love this mold and I adore Action Masters, but... WOW. That's probably the ugliest TF in five years.

yeah. i kinda really want him now. i wonder what flavour he is?

News Credits: 37 · by **Mkall** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:14 pm

Well, I'm looking forward to having him on my shelf, and a 2nd one on my SG shelf.

by **gothsaurus** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:29 pm

Is he supposed to be a SG character... or you just think he'd look snazzy there?

News Credits: 1 · by **KNM2012** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:54 pm

Quite honestly, he's the only one among the 2013 exclusives that is reasonably priced at TFsource! :lol:

And looking at him, he does have that Generation 1.5 look going on, which is interesting. As in he has a G1/Action Masters paint job, but sports more of a Generation 2 design. :G2BOT:

So yeah... I am going to have to recommend this one to others, especially those who are a fan of the Action Masters version.

Nah, he's supposed to be G1 Circuit, but I think I'll use him to be SG Axor as well.

I like him for my G2 shelf. I missed out on the other 2 versions of this mold because I always hated that huge neck. But these cool colors kind of make the neck stand out less. Hope it glows under the black light.

I finally caved in and signed up for the sub service today. I sure hope I don't end up regretting that very expensive decision.

This guy is the worst of the six figures offered, in my opinion - but I do enjoy it when an obscure character gets some attention.

by **gothsaurus** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 4:25 pm

Stop readin' my mind, Dedcat. Not cool.

In the shattered glass universe, you read my mind...

I like it. I think its a great looking update of the origonal.

This must be like crack. Because people are unsure about it and still buying it. :MAXIMAL:

News Credits: 16 · by **GetRightRobot** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 7:43 pm

This is exactly why I picked up the original right after botcon. Ugly and Uglier! Love it!

by **autoride** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 8:07 pm

That looks kind of hideous :SICK:

but that doesn`t stop it looking a bit awesome!!!

I feel like he's mistransformed. If not will modify transformation to make legs look less super-skinny. Will mess around with my Axor and Lockdown to see if anything works.

Not my favorite of the set, but clever use of mold repaint when related to the G1 repaint of Corcuit also being of Axor. That kind of fun sells it for me.

Sitting here with the wife and she just commented on how she hoped Circuit wasn't a spy, since the only place he could hide would be the kids section at McDonald's.

Like the concept, but the colors - oh man can I taste the colors.
