Can we talk about Spinister's eyes please?

You mean how fans voted for them to be toy/Marvel-accurate rather than IDW-accurate?

I just feel like he'd also be happy to talk about them.

Because no one is talking about them!

I wouldn't call that toy accurate, regardless if that's what it is trying to emulate. Would have just been better to give him a full red visor or a new head sculpt altogether. This head looks too amateurish with the fake eyes and nose.

Whoops, I made a mistake. The teal-outlined eyes were both toy-accurate and Marvel comic-accurate. The alternative was IDW comic-accurate.

The choices were either "black outlines around the eyes" (IDW) or "teal outlines around the eyes" (toy/Marvel). The latter won.

I wish the Combiner figure as a wholebgkt its own bio card.

I voted for the teal and I'm happy with the results.

Guess it makes more sense for him to be Marvel-accurate. Being a Deluxe wouldn't quite for an IDW Spinister; he's a bit of a big boy.



Despite, ironically, being one of the small Targetmasters...

The regrets. I has them. Shoulda signed up for the subscription service!!

I feel for ya! I had to sell a couple pieces of Lego and tf to afford it (along with some bits like uw Computron) and it's been well worth it

I would've voted black, but either would have been fine if that's what the final product actually looked like. the way it is, it'd be better off just having a full red visor.

So, does anyone else think the combiner head kind of has a little bit of a bobblehead feel to it? I think it is the overall head shape at the bottom as compared to Bruticus, but it just looks a little weird to me, almost like the neck is too long.

I love the figure. Brilliant to me!

The Thunder Mayhem combiner look goofy and ackward as hell... And I LOVE it!
Too bad getting it is ludicrously expensive.

Okay, I got this!

Seibertron.com is proud to bring to you today our latest gallery, that of Botcon 2016 Exclusives Reflector and Flash Sentry!

Reflector and Flash Sentry are both retools of the Combiner War Shockwave with new heads. Reflector utilizes Shockwave's arms and the way they tab to force 3 of his toys to come together and form his camera mode. Cameras this size will probably only be able to be handled by titan class transformers, and have a high probability of shooting you instead of capturing your image for picture frames. This is also the first modern toy of Reflector that takes into account his 3 different components to make his camera mode, unlike his Thrilling 30 toy (which turns into a gun, so both will probably shoot you). He was available to Transformers Collectors Club members as well as those who attended Botcon 2016.

Flash Sentry is a repaint of the Reflector mold, transforming into a gun that can be held by any of the Combiner Wars figures. He can also use the Shockwave arms to plug into Reflector and help form a camera, or if you somehow had 3 of him he could make his own translucent camera mode. Flash Sentry was only available to Golden Ticket Attendees. He is a member of the Photons, a subgroup of Decepticons led by Reflector.

You can check out the full Seibertron.com gallery by clicking on any of the images below, and you can let us know what you think of them in the comment section below!

Can we get some pictures of this Bot Con reflector using the little Reflector that came with Sharpshot if it's possible please?

I donno, man. The innovation is great, but if that's a camera then one wall and no roof makes a house....

thats a very clever use of the shockwave mold
with a little bit of retooling we could have something very close

I find this whole ordeal disrespectful to all the fans and collectors who've been waiting YEARS for a decent Reflector at retail. Not a $90 half@ssed remold from a washed up greedy 2nd party.

I blame Hasbro for this.

That's hilarious, as it is a hasbro design, the original use for the mold if I'm not mistaken. It was also hasbro who gave it to funpub for them to use. It was likely canned due to not making a very good camera mode or something. And for a 3 pack, it was no more expensive than anything else they've released

He did say he blamed Hasbro for it rather than blaming Fun Pub, so he's at least blaming the right guilty party.

Just saying that they had their reasons for not releasing it (like cw ratchet, and all the many, many others that we don't know about), probably because they couldn't find a size class to put 3 identical figures together in, and that parents wouldn't buy it if it was, can't just throw out the rules of business just for some G1 fans

I absolutely adore reflector and still think it is the clear cut winner from BotCon 2016 exclusives which is probably the reason why this is the only one I bought.

Makes me wonder which fiction, though. Reflector's bio alludes to the events of IDW's Spotlight: Wheelie with LV-117, as well as to the IDW version of Jhiaxus, but all of the other toys released in the same assortment as Reflector (i.e. - the BotCon 2016 exclusives) fall into the IDW Beast Era continuity circa "Dawn of the Predacus" (save for the different versions of the custom class Ratchet/Medix figure, as the custom class figures don't always match the theme of the BotCon they're a part of), which is a separate continuity from the main IDW one. Meanwhile, Flash Sentry's bio refers to the Photons, Reflector's subgroup from the Wings Universe, as well as to the Battle of Autobot City, which most certainly did not ever take place in the main IDW universe.

I think it's simply bringing in elements of IDW - LV-117 and Ore-1 - into Wings/IDW BW and is little more than a cute reference.

I was under the impression Reflector didn't make the cut on account of deco similarity - rereleasing the primarily purple Shockwave as the primarily purple Reflector wasn't going to knock any socks off.

Ah, these old chestnuts. How on Earth does this constitute disrespect, or greed etc? Reflector's a small name, didn't get a huge role, and wasn't even released at retail (well, apart from Japan), so he was released as a minor retool of an existing figure from a niche seller. That's a pretty sensible decision, really.

You know, if we did get a new-mold Reflector toy, if they don't fancy doing a camera mode, a police surveillance van would be a cool alt-mode for them to combine into.

I had a little bit of fun tonight based on the "Xzibit Meme" with the last image I quoted.

Heh. Great minds as they say.

I'm going to submit it to the TF Comedy Prescribed page on Facebook if that's fine by you. If you have no problems, how do you want me to tell them to credit you?

You can just reference my Seibertron user name. Or put a little "pic by carytheone" text in a corner. Whatever works for you.

Glad you liked my silly pics.

Alrighty. I'll put your name in it at the bottom. Thanks for taking it. It provided a lot of laughs.

And Reflector is standing next to Reflector while Reflector takes a picture of Reflector with Reflector in Reflector's hands as Reflector looks on at Reflector using Reflector to take a picture of Reflector standing next to Reflector.

That is why it won the Internet for me last night and again tonight.

With the Club Subscription Service slowly drawing to a close, we bring to you tonight our latest galleries, that of the Club Subscription 4.0 Impactor and Bluestreak!

Impactor is a retool of Combiner Wars Rook with a fresh new headsculpt that captures the shear determination in the Wrecker Commander's face. He is the second official Impactor toy, behind only his Fall of Cybertron counterpart - who was also part of a combiner - and is the club's sixth subscription figure.

Bluestreak is a repaint of Combiner Wars Prowl and Smokescreen, and this is his first time as being a combiner limb. This Bluestreak also uses the rarely seen "blue" Bluestreak paint job, and he fits right in with the Wreckers as well, considering his personality is that of a sniper. He is the club bonus figure for the 4.0 service.

Check out the preview of the galleries below, and you can go to the full galleries by clicking any one of the images below!

Subscription Service Impactor (158 images) - Combiners, Deluxe Class, Subscription Service












Subscription Service Bluestreak (109 images) - Deluxe Class

Can't wait to see Impactor's new team of Wreckers all together once the rest of them get released (Counterpunch, Fractyl, and Toxitron, while Alpha Bravo and Offroad are both deceased now).

And then they shall Wreck and Rule once they combine into the mighty monstrosity created to fight Thunder Mayhem: Wreckage!!!



His gallery's gonna be so epic once the rest of his components get released.

I'm also really looking forward to Wreckage, especially Fractyl and Counterpunch.

So, does Fractyl not come with an HFG? I remember reading that Terrorsaur didn't come with one; does that carry over? And negated by using the sword as the Impactor-esque harpoon.

Does Toxitron have a new robot head, while using the Optimus Maximus combiner head on the Motormaster body? Can't recall.

RNSrobot wrote:So, does Fractyl not come with an HFG? I remember reading that Terrorsaur didn't come with one; does that carry over? And negated by using the sword as the Impactor-esque harpoon.

Fractyl should have a HFG. The use of Toxitron's sword as Wreckage's own Impactor-esque harpoon is just a little creativity on the Club's part. When Wreckage was previously formed with Alpha Bravo and Offroad instead of Impactor and Bluestreak, he had two normal hands.

RNSrobot wrote:Does Toxitron have a new robot head, while using the Optimus Maximus combiner head on the Motormaster body? Can't recall.

Toxitron uses the Ultra Prime/Optimus Maximus combiner head on the Motormaster body, and had a Hasbro-made pretooled standard robot head that was originally intended for a potential CW Nemesis Prime. But when Takara went and made their UW Grand Scourge figure, any plans for a CW Nemesis Prime by Fun Pub were scrapped since Grand Scourge was essentially the same concept, so Fun Pub went instead with using the Nemesis head for a different evil Optimus lookalike: Toxitron.

Beautiful!

The Counterpunch head is also a pretooled head that went unused, correct? Has anybody identified who it might have been for?

I like the colors on Impactor. I always thought his mohawk looked really neat. Kinda bummed he doesn't have his construction stripes though.

I always thought Bluestreak would be nice as a sniper (with blue energy ammunition), which seems to be kind of what they're going for here (albeit with his name coming from stealth technology rather than a sniper rifle).
