Any chance you can do this again with the vehicle modes?

Emerje wrote:Powerglide as a Rattler seems unlikely since the only options are a giant Ultra or a small Legends figure. Only other figure left that would work is Avengers Thor. Problem there is he would need a new head, but the cape wouldn't be an issue for a Cobra Commander figure. Still a bit big as a deluxe.

He means the Commander size class of Takara's new Legends line. It's the hodgepodge "class" that the Optimus Primal and Lio Convoy re-releases are part of.

I don't think Ryan has a comparison yet of Pax and Robot Masters Lio Convoy.

Deluxes and up only. FunPub has confirmed nowadays Deluxes and larger figures are more cost-effective to do.

Wasn't that figure considered a deluxe? It would make getting a newer head on there easier.

FunPub giving us a real offical Nova Prime, Hasbro-blessed and everyhing. That's almost as cool as the fact that FUNPUB IS OFFICALLY RELEASING AN IDFRIKKIN'W character.

The Transformers Collectors' Club brings the Humans!

Fort Worth, TX - August 14th, 2014 - Fun Publications, Inc., licensee for Hasbro's official Transformers Collectors' Club, is excited to announce their first ever 3 ¾ inch human figure from the Transformers mythos… Marissa Faireborn!

Fans of the Transformers franchise will recognize Marissa as the Earth Defense

 Command (EDC) pilot from season 3 of the original Transformers cartoon. What G.I. Joe fans will recognize is the name, “Faireborn”. As Season 3 of the Transformers series took place a couple decades AFTER G.I. Joe, this crossover character was in fact, as intended by Story Editor Flint Dille who worked on both Transformers and G.I Joe, the daughter of G.I. Joe members Flint and Lady Jaye!

In addition to this great action figure offering, Marissa will also be riding in to action with her Autobot ally, Afterburner! Both will be revealed tomorrow on the Transformers Collectors' Club Facebook page. However, in the meantime we are thrilled to present the art for Marissa Faireborn w/ Afterburner by Robert Q. Atkins and Jesse Wittenrich.

This figure, along with the motorcycle accessory, will be available for order through the Transformers Collectors' Club early Spring 2015. For more information on the exclusive figure offerings of the TCC, including Lio Convoy, Nova Prime and the TFSS 3.0, please visit Transformersclub.com.

As many fans have guessed, the exclusive is GI Joe-related, but not in the way one would expect. The second Club exclusive is... Marissa Faireborn with Afterburner! No mock-up images as of the writing of this post, but according to the Club, Afterburner is a redeco of the GI Joe Wheel Blaster Bike from the GI Joe line in 2012 done up in the colors of the original Generation One Autobot of the same name.

More so given they seem to be forcing a crossover I've never wanted down our throats. I can see where this is leading, to get the full "set" you'll have to join the G.I. Joe club as well.

Smart move ... but nope.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:So, basically it's like the SDCC G.I. Joe Crossover sets only on a smaller scale. Interesting, but the main draw to TF fans is Marissa and the deco of the bike.

What will be the base figure for Marissa? Barones?

Nemesis Primal wrote:Well, this couldn't be much more disappointing. A non-transforming G1 homage bike at club prices has basically zero appeal to me. And it's not like Afterburner was that major a character anyway, was it? I suspect this will be a slow seller. Then again, I could be wrong... I'm fairly shocked Animated Cheetor wound up sitting around long enough for me to get one.

As long as they don't make an actual Transformer a G. I. Joe club exclusive, I don't care.

How come every time a TF/Joe crossover is done in the real world with plastic they leave out the Transformer?
