ARG!!! I was all excited about G2 Megatron and they just had to ruin him by making him #$@! @$%^ @$#% ^&&% TRANSLUCENT!! Why would they do that!? That crossover was one of my favorite comics from the G2 era and that Marvel Ratbat looked so great so why make Megatron *(#@ %#(@ translucent? Man, what a downer, I was completely sold on that set just for Megatron and Ratbat alone, but now I need to seriously rethink this. :-x I get their reasoning, but it's dumb, especially since only the green parts are translucent. Nothing I hate more than poorly done translucent figures, it needs to be all or nothing or it looks stupid if you want us to believe it represents an entirely see-through character (or in this case, image). As far as I'm concerned the only place for translucent plastic is lights and windows, nowhere else.

As for the Wheeljack mold? I think it might just be that the Dead End/Streetwise mold has seen nearly twice as much use, so it's kinda the Breakdown/Wheeljack mold's "turn".

Girl, apparently it's supposed to be Quickslinger. I actually thought it was Storm Cloud at first. TFWiki also says they're calling the medic Lifeline.

Good question, can't say I'm a big fan of that choice. He sure does grow a lot later on. :lol: The Energon Scorponok mold would have been the best choice, but probably too big for this set considering how many large figures are already in it. If they only did this figure because of the head sculpt then I'd rather they went for BotCon 2014 Canonball instead

Zeedust wrote:As for the Wheeljack mold? I think it might just be that the Dead End/Streetwise mold has seen nearly twice as much use, so it's kinda the Breakdown/Wheeljack mold's "turn".


I think it's really just a matter of the chest windows to look like the original figure. Mark my words, the mystery figure for 5.0 will be Punch using this same mold with a new head and the Breakdown chest if it fits in there.

If it's a melee weapon like an axe or sword I'm fine with it, but no guns.
You have no idea how much I hate light piped eyes. I'll never understand why people would think it's a good idea to make half of a figure's head translucent just so they kinda look like they're glowing under direct light. I don't know why anyone would choose that over some well painted eyes that will look good all the time.

I hate light piped eyes too. It's so rare to get it working well without rendering the rest of the head in a sillouhette and the rest of the time you just end up with a nice looking figure with black-looking dead eyes and yeah I hate having the back of the head transparent in that eye colour too. I tend to open up the heads, paint the translucent eye section whatever colour is most suitable (like light blue on my Gen Springer) then paint the back of the head it should be (green on Springer obviously) and it just looks so much better with nice bright blue eyes and a more complete looking head. It really is something I absolutely loathe about modern Transformers cos so many otherwise great figures have that damn thing.

It was because the factory had the ball joint on the back of the head covered instead of exposed. It needs to be exposed in order for the new head to fold down into the body for the jet mode, otherwise the covered version blocks the ball joint from moving in the direction it needs to move in order for the transformation of the head to work.

They did not say specifically, only that it shipped with the Botcon figures. I'm guessing it will start once they get back into the office following Botcon.

I hope they stick with the wide open mouth, black background with the orange coloured "glowing" spots in it. Like the comic and concept art.

Counterpunch is Hasbro's built-in alternate head for Wheeljack. But with no plans to actually release it themselves, they offered it to the Club.

The G.I. Joe Crossover set is meant to tell the story of the creation of Generation 2 Megatron - Cobra Commander holds the injured G1 Megatron in gun mode. He's working with Dr. Biggles-Jones to build her rail gun into the final holographic robot schematics. Scarlett is there as security/covert operations for the Joes (How Cobra actually thought she defected never really made any sense, but anyway...). Ratbat is a new addition to the story, his part to play is as a Decepticon negotiator with Cobra. Supplying Cobra Commander with the necessary Cybertronian blueprints to build G2 Megatron.

I'm told that the TFSS Toxitron was originally going to be made into Nemesis Prime, but then Takara went ahead and did Grand Scourge out of the regular Optimus version, which made the Club's plans for Nemesis redundant, so they changed their planned Nemesis into Toxitron.

Via fellow Seibertronian kurthy, we have an update from the Transformers Collector's Club about their Subscription Service 4.0 - you're soon to receive the first figure some point after next week, so keep an eye on your mailboxes, and find out more below!

Hello Subscribers,

The 4.0 shipment will arrive next week and we plan to get the first figure out to you ASAP. We need everyone to login and update your address if you have moved. In addition, the next installment payment will be processed on May 18 so please make sure your information is still correct. Because of the delay by the factory, we will be sending out each figure about 3 weeks apart.

After you log in, click My Account in the bottom lefthand corner and you can update your address and credit card information there.

Thanks for your support, enjoy the figures!

I thought we were talking about individual robot heads rather than combiner heads. Sky Lynx's robot head would probably be hard to do anything with, given that it's part of his vehicle mode and there's nobody else who really looks like him, so I don't think that part's likely to change.

Fellow podcaster extraordinaire Megatronus has just obtained the latest issue of the Transformers Club Magazine and it had some info about the new subscription service. Here is what he had to share, along with some pics:

The Club magazine arrived today, and they have a spread on the 6 TFSS 5.0 figures.

Notable bits include:
-Registration for 5.0 supposedly opens this week
-The Paradron Medic is called 'Lifeline'
-Toxitron, Fractyl, and Counterpunch are all designated 'Wreckers' and seem intended to combine

There's a bio for Lifeline (and TFSS 4.0 Impactor) towards the end of the magazine, I've included a shot of that as well.

I think it's a callback to Beast War-era convention Wrecker fiction, which had a Wreckers team featuring 'bots, 'cons, Maximals and Predacons. Notably, Fractyl was one of those Wreckers.

The linked Impactor bio mentions he's rebuilding a Wreckers team from any survivor he can find - I assume he'll be leading this mixed Wrecker combiner.

3H-era Wreckers were a mix of factions... And I think Carnivac even joined their ranks in the UK comic.

So having Deceptions on the Wreckers is just continuing the long tradition.

(EDIT: The bio referencing "Survivors" seems to be a decided nod to the UK stuff)

Nope never mind disregard my first post it is a Wreckers combiner and the Combiner's name is Wreckage.
