News just in from the Official Collector's Club panel at Botcon, staff member Razorclaw0000 has confirmed the 2011 Transformers Club exclusive membership figure will be a homage to RID Sideburn. The toy itself will be a blue redeco of Classics Rodimus. Stay tuned for a full panel report!

In addition, the 2011 club exclusives were announced:

  • G2 Ramjet

  • Transtech Cheetor from Animated Blurr



As the panel was closing, Brian Savage made the mention that there will be 300 Punch/Counterpunch figures that will be available for preording within the next few weeks. These figures will only be available to Club members who did NOT purchase a Punch.Counterpunch figure yet, and will be limited to one per person.

whaaaaa?!?!?

What a sweet reversal, and sudden slight overuse of the mold. Wasn't Super Speedbreaker/Red Sideburn repaint the slight homage to Hot Rod?

Well what do you know? Side Burn is turned into Rodimus, now the opposite happens. Same thing happened with Skyquake and Starscream. Maybe more RiD characters will get updated? So far we have:

- Rail Racer (Micromaster)
- Sky-Byte

Transtech Cheetor from Animated Blurr sounds very cool, can't wait to see it.

They sound simultaneously interesting and very boring to me.

I think I know someone who'll be happy with G2 Ramjet. But Transtech Cheetor out of Animated Blurr? That came way out of left field. I wonder if we'll get more Transtechs down the line.

Well, I wouldn't say it was totally out of left field. Anyone who has seen the designs for Transtech Cheetor will notice the similarities between it and Animated Blurr. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

I had never seen the transtech line before today, but I can definitely see why they chose animated blurr for the cheetor mold. It's almost like they used the transtech prototype to create blurr when the line didn't end up being used. I am looking forward to seeing that one, but not so much about the hot rod/sideburn redeco.... :-?

Crap.. now I need to end up with that by the end of the year. I don't cut it short when it comes to completing Blurr-molds, Hasbro, Takara, exclusives, bring it on.

I've seen some fan repaints of Animated Blurr as Transtech Cheetor, and they were pretty sweet. Should be interesting to see. :)

G2 Ramjet = Hawtness
AniTranstech Cheetor... = Dunno

I'll be rejoining in 2011 for the figures outside of Cheetor.

Sideburn gets a Hot Rod paintjob... now Hot Rod gets a Sideburn paintjob... my head wants to explode. Either way I'll definitely be renewing my membership for next year.

I believe so, since your membership's good for one year, and (I think) March is the cutoff for the exclusive... still being a member by then I think you would qualify.

Did anyone else catch that they couldn't use the Classics Seeker mold because it's in use?

Since the conheads are remolds (And, obviously, they can use Thrust), maybe we'll be seeing a regular release of Thundercracker after all ... or even a Sunstorm.

I almost joined for Dion, but decided not to.

For Side Burn, I will join without question. I love R.i.D. more than any other series. I'd also like to see Binaltech Sunstreaker repainted as Speedbreaker, especially the BTA mold with convenient Junko figure.

Well, I had a similar, but different color scheme in mind for making RiD Sky-Byte out of Energon's Sharkticon. This one replace all of the Sharkticon's lavender parts with ivory (like from either BW Fuzor Torca or the existing 2010 Sky-Byte), and adds a matching Mini-Con or 2 (a repaint of Oceanglide, and possibly Stormcloud) and a small Decepticon rub-sign on top of his bridge (which contrasts with the Predacon symbol I'd want on his head/front end).
Maybe Generations will get versions of Railspike, Rapid Run, and Midnight Express, but instead of making them shinkansen/bullet trains, make them turn into American locomotives, like the Fairbanks-Morse "Trainmaster", or EMD's SD70M-2/SD70ACe, or EMD's GP-38.
Universe Ironhide/Ratchet would make a good X-Brawn. (Not to mention SG Soundwave.)
I'd also get a kick out of seeing Universe Prowl or Red Alert made to look like (Super) Prowl.

Sideburn? meh ... rehash.
G2 Ramjet? meh ... another rehash.

Transtech Cheetor? Now THAT sounds interesting!

If it's still in one piece. If my guess is correct (a big if), there are two sets of Seeker molds: one regular and one conehead. The regular Seeker mold seems to be past its peak, but the Conehead one is still fine. Compare the joints between Thrust and Starscream. There's no way there could be such a big difference in tightness if there was only one single set.

Nope, it was in use because we're getting Dirge

I don't quite understand. If that were the case, then wouldn't Ramjet also be unavailable?

The figures are mass-produced well in advance of their release. As the figures are currently being made, or are yet to be made, it'll be a while before Hasbro is done with the mold so FP can use it for Ramjet.

I think I'm still missing something here.

The mold for Thundercracker is in use because we're getting Dirge. But it's NOT in use for Ramjet because they've made Ramjet already. But Ramjet, like Dirge, is a remold of the Classics Seekers. So, if they're using the Starscream mold for Dirge right now, why is it available for Ramjet but not for AM Thundercracker?

Edit:
I suppose what I'm saying is that if the mold for Starscream were in use for Dirge we wouldn't be getting G2 Ramjet. Ramjet has to have a different mold otherwise they wouldn't be prohibited from using the classics Seeker mold because it was "in use".

It has to be "in use" for SOMETHING.
