However you guys do realise that most fire trucks don't have ladders. Most pumper trucks, which is what Inferno is, just pump water and are built for that specific purpose. Hook and Ladder Trucks or Turnable Ladders carry the ladders and are built specifically for that purpose. Now I say most because in some smaller towns they can neither afford a hook and ladder truck nor have much need for it so they can combine as many functions as possible into one vehical. Usually called a quad or quint for the number of function it provides.

Did Sunstreaker ever have a Rocket Launcher?
Inferno's Ladder looks good. Really Anime-Mecha-ish. The Gun Hand is a must.
Ah, you have to love CAD prototyping. Production is even cooler, tho.

Now I might join the club.
If they can make a whole new reissue set of Cassette-bots, I'm there.
Also a good reason to buy Inferno. He looked too plane without the ladder.
I prefer that smaller rocket launcher to the big ones. Better proportions.
Bring on Ratbat and friends!

Wrong club. But join anyways ( I get $5 every time I convince someone to join )

Hahaha, welcome to my job Boss. I get to tell people that smoke a curb in a snow storm that their warranty doesn't cover that sort of thing. Shouldn't be too bad though. Your tires side wall doesn't look pooched so it should only set you back a new steel rim. What's that down there, like $40?
Ahem. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomb! I can't wait to spend money on these (Music to every companies ears) I've been waiting for a while now for a new and proper rocket launcher for Sideswipe.

This is really the sort of thing they should of included with the original figures, as far as the missile launchers and such go, if they wanted to keep proper homage to the original figures.
Personally, I just stuck one of the launchers from the old camero movie-Bee in the shoulder slot and that's fine for Swipe. Though I should repaint the projectile to match better.

TFClub is different than the Official Transformers Collectors Club that HASBRO supports. TFClub is more of a garage toy company, filling voids with things like MP-Rollar, etc., and is not in anyway official or supported by HASBRO.

Agreed, I'd love to get this set (and I just watched the episode with Autoscout tape in it the other day) but I think the missile launchers are all a little oversized. Hopefully they shrink them a little.

Don't join, you'll be able to buy that set via BBTS or Robotkingdom.

Don't need to join, this isn't actually the official TF Collectors Club, this is just a garage company that makes toys.
Once the items are produced, you'll probably be able to buy them via TFsource or BBTS.

It's kinda funny you say that. I had kinda wished there was a toy of it when I first saw it. Now, I'm oddly excited.

This sounds very similar to what I said up there. This is not a club like the HASBRO club, this more like an independent organization that creates toys.
Anyway, yay for these guys again.

That's what I was thinking. Unless you can do the same to Sunstreaker that you can to Inferno. Attach a missile to his hand so he looks a little more old school.
The funny part is two months after these are released Repolabels will come out with a sticker set for them, egging fans into dropping even more coin.

-Edit-
Ok I've seen them on tfw2005.... Well I kinda like the Auto roller. On the other hand I can't judge the launchers for mirage and sideswipe and the ladder with rocket launcher for inferno before a prototype is produced.

I agree...The unofficial releases this year have been jaw-dropping...
But they didn't put a ladder on the truck because they wanted to update him a bit and go with something more modern, like they've been trying to do in general with the classics/universe figures...
