As this is supposed to be a mystery figure whose identity is supposed to be unknown until the 6th figure ships...some people like to be surprised in the mail.

Please give LostC a break. This is how the club wishes stories like this with subscription figures reveals to be handled. For those that want surprise, they want them to have the option. And this figure, while there were many sensible options, had not been determined.

The GI Joe SS reveals are treated this way as well... And that's when any new SS figure has first begun shipping, let alone for the extra freebie figure.

This figure is no surprise to most, once they know what it is...but still.

This was probably the best SSC set I've seen. Next year wont be nearly as good. Man...I was a fool not to get it

Deceiver! That's not Solarbot!

I jest, of course, but I honestly would have preferred Solarbot.

I'm the opposite. There's a lot more I'm interested in from 3.0 than from 2.0.

I have little to no interest in 3.0. 2 more figures on that seeker mold and another figure on the IDW bumble bee/goldfire/nightbeat mold create no interest for me.

I can see the appeal of Krok for his Action Master homage, and people seem to like getting more Seekers. And Tarantulas is a popular character, despite the mold choice being a bit questionable. So it really only looks like Zap and Serpent O.R. might be the least-appealing ones to the masses.

Though, for me personally, Serpent O.R. is the one I'm looking forward to the most since I loved the Devil's Due TF/G.I. Joe crossovers and the one Serpent O.R. appeared in was my favorite. And, holy cow! The SON OF MEGATRON is getting a toy!!! :KREMZEEK:

I'm not as well versed in the fiction - which one/mold is Megatron's son?

The choices just seem a tad more obscure this time around, which is fine for some, but doesn't do much for me. I was very much ambivalent to their choices at first, especially more Seekers & Tarantulas, but I have warmed up to the other 3. If I do decide to subscribe this time around, I'll probably just sell the Seekers and keep the other 4, because they do look nice, even if, as you said Sabrblade, the choice of mold for Tarantulas is questionable. At least he comes with 2, count em 2, spiders.

News Credits: 3 · by **Midnight_Fox** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 8:48 am

I want Nacelle, Krok, and SerpentOR.

I really only wanted Treadshot from 2.0 and a little want for Barricade. I've already got a good Chromedome and Rewind and I couldn't care less for the rest of the figures.

Hell, the club could give us a Sub Service of nothing but Seekers and Con Actionmasters and I'd buy them all.

In the comics, SerpentOR had the memories from Megatron's disembodied head downloaded into him, so he went around proclaiming himself the son of Megs. kinda hokey, but then, he's never been right in the head...

Serpent O.R., from the Scourge mold with the Ratbat head, is the Son of Megatron.

Thanks! Seeing the comic, that Ratbat head works great for the character.

Looks like people guessed correctly on the mystery figure. Shouldn't it be time for the 3rd TFSS figure to be out or past due? I'm ready to keep these rolling in

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 12:15 pm

Yeah, this was basically a no-brainer the moment the original version of the mold was revealed.

Calling it right now, and someone please quote me when I suggest this, next year's mystery bonus will be post-mortem, Vok-empowered Tarantulus. :michaelbay:

I actually would've been really happy had it been him. It would've, in the words of the Master Chief, "mix things up a little." Though if we didn't get you-know-who as this year's mystery bonus, then individuals would complain. :roll:

Should be sometime next month.

I'd wait another month, for the 3rd figure, which is Thrustinator, to be shipped.

3.0 figures won't start shipping until next June-ish, based on previous years.

I think Moonshot means the third 2.0 figure since we've only gotten Barricade and Fisitron so far.

Yeps Sabrblade's got it, the 3rd 2.0 figure is the one I was talking about. Seems like its been over a month since Fisitron came.

Good morning, all! Thanks to Kapow Toys via Facebook, an in-hand image of this year's Transformers Subscription Service mystery figure has surfaced, in lieu of its initial leak reported over a week ago. Those who wish to remain spoiler-free of the mystery figure, this is where you get off.

As previously stated, this image of TFSS 2.0's mystery figure, Rewind's fellow cassette buddy Eject, comes from Kapow Toys' Facebook. It has been mirrored below for your viewing convenience!

Worst Secret, EVER.

BUT, still glad it's confirmed, because seriously, I need a sports obsessed robo jock in my collection.

Funny how there's been zero fiction about him though from IDW. Is he related to Rewind? Do they even know one another?

News Credits: 639 · by **ScottyP** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 9:35 am

I'm actually pretty excited for Eject and Rewind. I never got on the PE 3rd party train for Rumble and Frenzy, got the United tanks instead, so it'll be nice to have them all "match" even though I'm really not a big fan of that mold.

Also, 3rd 2.0 Subscription Figure is hitting this week. I saw on Twitter yesterday a dude in TX got his already (then submitted the news to another site, boo!)
