Final TFSS 5.0 Figures are Arriving and Mystery Figure Revealed

Interesting...well I can still make that work. I'll have SG SS be the right leg of Wreckage (rather than Bluestreak)

...and Bluestreak will complete my Optimus Maximus (BC Prime, Alpha Bravo Right Arm, Rook Left Arm, Bluestreak Right Leg, Smokescreen Left Leg)

Everybody else probably loves SG starscream, but I'm a little disappointed since he's not going to have a spot in my collection (SG is a little too niche for me).

I'm guessing it kinda looks like the SG Starscream who was seen in the universe that was a SG version of the G1 cartoon universe, which was shown in the bonus 2-page Transformers comic included in the Diamond Edition of the G.I.JoeCon 2016 comic.

Victorion Nightbird...? ... I kind of want that.

Shame they just didn't go with regular Starscream. Even those who bought the Grand Galvatron set are stuck with the more fragile ghost version.

Aww...

I loved the SG Comcept, but a one-off combiner kimb is not what I want, nit when we had potential redecos to go with Bluestreak like Sideswipe or Hoist. I guess its a nice homage to one of Botcon's biggest and 2nd best known (for good or ill) storylines.

Glad I'm no subscriber not fan of
Combiner wars figures even figures that are repainted are not enough for me to buy these figures

He's not more fragile than the others. One of the wings is flimsier and comes off easily (not as easily as Hotspot's chest though) but he doesnt feel more fragile.

Not sure how I feel about SG Starscream. I don't own any other SG figures and he really clashes with the rest of the G1/BW characters. Would have much, much preferred a straight G1 Starscream or even an Action Master SS. SS in Jetfire's colors just doesn't do it for me. I'll have to see the figure first, but maybe I can repurpose him as an upgraded R-Blade.

Yeah, I'm not surprised they went with the Seeker head, that was basically inevitable (as much as I would have loved a Universe Sunstorm from UW Thrust).

I haven't really looked into SG stuff (though I should probably get on it), so I can't say much about Shatterscream as a character, and I can't comment on the toy 'til I see it. That said, having one SG guy in the scramble pool makes him feel like a bit of an orphan to me. All the other factions have enough for a full combiner (except the Maximals, but they can still pull together Magnaboss if they cheat and use stickers). It feels a little weird.

That said, he's an extra. Toxitron and Counterpunch are what I put down money for, and what I see of them so far is to my liking.

He can be drinking buddies with BotCon Terrorsaur

I will more than gladly take a Shattered Glass Starscream off of someone's hands should they decide he is not for them. Shattered Glass is my THING!!!

You must really like Opera singers then.

That sounds like the setup for a joke. Two not-quite-Starscreams walk into Maccadam's...

Anyone know where I can get properly-scaled barstools? Because now I almost want to do this for realsies.

Such a hodgepodge of characters and weapons, I love it! FoC Ruination looks more cohesive (thanks in part to the deco and Combaticon molds), but Wreckage is just plain messy, especially his weapons.

Oooookay....who threw up on Prime?

I'm with you. I love how all the different guns, even the HFG, have been mixed around. But I will be adding my Toxitron to my Stunticon collection, not my Wreckers.

Enough of the combined gimmicks we'll take a Toxitron please N thank you

NOBODY LOVES WHEELIE wrote:Oooookay....who threw up on Prime?

That's Toxitron's own toxic acid that oozes and secretes from his body.

Physically, he's kinda like Meltdown from Transformers Animated. You try to touch him, you gonna get BURNED!

Someone sent these to me. I haven't gotten mine yet.

Thanks, we found the original source and will news it shortly

Fans are getting their final Transformers Collector's Club Figures and we can now have a good look at that mystery figure: SG Starscream. You will find images below coming from TFW2005 member SeiberBirdR and sent to us by fellow Seibertronian Kurthy. You will also find images of Toxitron and Counterpunch. The SG Starscream uses the exact same headsculpt and mold as United Warriors Ghost Starscream.

That Toxitron just oozes beauty; and I love that Counterpunch headsculpt

... oh and uh, guy-who-could-have-been-Sunstorm looks decent too.

This Starscream is now my first and probably will be my only SG figure, but more importantly my only Grumpy Starscream. His expression makes me think he's smelled something really bad, possibly Toxitron?

Youmight own more than one, do you have any of these officially repurposed figures?

That's quite a list so I'm not going to quote it, but the answer is nope. I own none of those! I own very few club/botcon figures. Some of those I do wish I owned though, perhaps one day, SG Starscream will not be all grumpy and alone.

Just in case it wasnt all clear, the figures I quoted are not from the club, they are other releases, some mainline (like Universe Dinobot and Cybertron Ransack) which the Club used in their stories to repurpose as SG characters.

Like this toy is SG Groove:






So in the end, you might have more Shattered Glass figures than you think

Just got home, I've got the cards.

Did they make any other SG combiner characters, otherwise this guy is really going to be lonely.

Got my box today!

Gotta backpedal on screamer a step or two. While I still feel like there coulda been better choices for a combiner limb than a random SG guy, this is a GORGEOUS Deco and I love it. Gotta repurpose him somehow.

I widh Toxi didntbhave that puddy green for the edges of the fr9nt cab. I fuess thats the "unpaintable" plastic and they tried to match colors, but it looks outta place in pictures. When I get mine out though, maybe it'll be better in person

Rodimus Knight wrote:Did they make any other SG combiner characters, otherwise this guy is really going to be lonely.

Nope. This is just a parting nod to one of FunPubs big identifiable arcs and a one-off. SG predated Combiner Wars by a lot of years.

Rodimus Knight wrote:Did they make any other SG combiner characters, otherwise this guy is really going to be lonely.

Yes, SG Combiner Ratchet

CW Redwing? Or CW Jetfire (he started out as a decepticon)

Wait... so SS Starscream can "operate independently" in either limb mode.... does that mean he can be a line flying arm or leg? That's pretty cool now that I type it...

Two things:
SG Starscream's recommended combiner

Toxitron's chest insignia

Man... so you'd need to have both Ratchet and Medix to make that work... That just seems unlikely. I did make a custom Ratchet using a first aid and the botcon stickers. I do have a spare Scattershot and Rook laying around... I wonder what another first aid will set me back...

So...you would need 2 custom Botcon Ratchets to complete that nonsense...no thank you. I'm happy with my UW Ratchet attached to Lynx Master

SG SS will do fine replacing Bluestreak as part of Wreckage. No lonely limbs in my collection

Or you could use the takara ratchet and the botcon medix...

kurthy wrote:SG Starscream's Or you could use the takara ratchet and the botcon medix...

Nah...he stays with Lynxmaster... There are no other Limbs coming out, otherwise I might be foolish enough to try this. I never picked up the individual release Scattershot, or the Botcon Build-a-Figure....I'd still need one more limb....and there's no others I don't aleady own...

Nah I have a perfect symmetry of 20 unique combiners in all (10 heroic, and 10 evil)...don't want to upset the balance.

you could go for Modulus, or if you have Cyclonus, Rook, Alpha Bravo, and Offroad handy, you can complete Galvatronus with the cons and Wreckage with the bots

I think I am STILL going to get Terrorsaur and put him on Galvatronus... SG Starscream is there until I can afford it. I want to to get all of the different Ratchets + Medix (Maybe use SG Starscream instead of Marvel Ratchet since the difference between him and G1 Ratchet doesn't mean anything to me... ) and combine those with Aky Lynx. He is JUST Sky Lynx at the moment.

I'm going to miss Funpub. I was SUPER hoping that either this secret figure, or the secret figure in the next set would be the UW Blast Off mold in NOT-disgusting colors. Give it some arbitrary name. Fast Flob... Something. I dunno.

I found a place for Scorponok in my Wreckage. Since (imo) the mold doesn't really work for him, and he doesn't seem to scale with. Anything.

Found a place for all of Impactor's excessive weaponry.


Funnily is more stable than the Blackjack mold in this position.

Got mine today, loving it! Toxitron and Counterpunch are great, and while I wasn't sold on the Shatterscream concept when I first heard about it, the execution is very nice and I can't complain about the figure itself.

I'd sum up Toxitron by saying he's kind of a cross between TFA Meltdown and BW Rampage, as weird as that combination may sound.

Yes, SG Combiner Ratchet

Sadly, that's from the customization class, so I don't think getting one at this point will be easy.

I think they also repurposed last year's Bluestreak so that he doubles as SG Bluestreak, if I remember what I saw on TFWiki right. But i get the feeling most of us would probably rather have him for Wreckage.

And I guess there's technically Heatwave (the Nexus Prime piece, not the Rescue Bot), but he's not the same combiner system.

Repurpose CW Alpha Bravo and Blast Off as SG Vortex and Slingshot?

mazingaspidey wrote:Wait... so SS Starscream can "operate independently" in either limb mode.... does that mean he can be a line flying arm or leg? That's pretty cool now that I type it...

I'm not sure if he can fly in limb modes, since it mentions the leg mode's jumping ability, but it doesn't say he can't either, so you can probably take it however you want.

I'm glad I have company in liking it, I was worried it'd go over like the whole Galvatronus mind control thing did...

I'm curious, other than BM and RiD Megatron (and those who share their molds), is this guy the only one to have a functional disembodied body part mode?

Nope - FoC Optimus was a fist on wheels

SG Starscream rounds out my Autobot combiners nicely:

Magnus Maximus:

Ultra Magnus (reprolabels)
SG Starscream
Wheeljack
Ratchet
Trailbreaker
Hot Rod

Optimus Maximus:

Optimus Prime
Mirage
Sunstreaker
Smokescreen
Hound

Sky Reign:

Sky Lynx
Slingshot
Air Raid
Fireflight
Skydive
Powerglide

Magnaboss:

Silverbolt
Prowl
Ironhide
Unit 3
Tigatron

And my evil Autobot:

Nova Maximus:

Nova Prime (reprolabels)
Bombshell (shoulder weapon)
Blackjack
Rook (victim of Bombshell)
Alpha Bravo (victim of Bombshell)
Offroad
Terrorsaur

Here they are, the entirety of the TFSS

I'm loving the look of Toxitron and Counterpunch With great deco and headsculpts for both Kind of a shame we never got a CW Nemesis Prime but i'll take Toxitron.i like how they'reboth given development in the recent stories with Counterpunch Having difficulties decididng which side he's really Spying for and for Toxitron .... Well we've known since Animated that Toxitron was a failed clone of Optimus and he's Big and Dumb but in this figure I see potential for a storyline where he escapes whatever captivity he is in under Shockwave and goes on a Rampage on Cybertron. As for Starscream well we've already got a SG Starscream from back in 2008 but he's an expensive convention exclusive that's probably going for heaps on the aftermarket so yeah i'll take it and BTW the Bot mode in the pic is mistransformed with the armsnot being brought up to the shoulders I do that with my UW Skydive and it makes him Strong looking soooo yeah also his jet mode deco looks kinda similar to that Legends Jetfire from 2006 (the thundercracker repaint)

Prime Target wrote:Kind of a shame we never got a CW Nemesis Prime but i'll take Toxitron.

That's who Toxitron's new head was originally made to be, but then Takara went and made UW Grand Scourge, fulfilling the need for a CW evil black Optimus Prime lookalike.

I kinda dug the Galvatronus mind control thing, maybe um just weird.

I do think that this may be one of the only disembodied limb modes besides RID Megatron and BM Megatron, yes.
