TFCC previews Universe Smokescreen!

So, it gets a mass retail release, right? I was a little confused if it’s club exclusive or not.

Anyway, glad to have him. Any ideal on when he comes out?

Sweetness

According to what Pete says he is part of wave 2 of the 25th anniversary line, so I'm assuming mass retail on these.

Wonder if we'll be getting more preview pics in the next magazine?

Ugh, that means he probably won’t be out till near spring!

Anyway, to those who can see it, how does it look? G1 accurate? Does he have any retooling, or a new head?

It is okay to describe him right?

Smokescreen looks good. Robot mode only. No remolding.

Well that’s good. In this case I’m glad they didn’t waste resources on making him less accurate.

One more question: are his shoulder cannons painted? If you can’t tell I’m excited.

I'm excited too!

I think this is the repaint I've been most looking forward to.

In the picture, they like a dull "prototype" gray. Which is really odd since the rest of the toy is painted really nicely. He's even paint silver, not just gray plastic. Could just be a painted prototype and they forgot to paint the missile launchers.

ok this osunds good but when I go to the site im not getting any pic of it do u have to be a member to see it?

Yes

that sucks I wanna see it

It’ll be there for everyone soon enough. At least they try to give people some reason to join the club.

i might have to get it

Lol I knew it...I thought it might be a Botcon exclusive. Glad it's not! can't wait to get one of these!

If we are lucky, their is a Red Alert commin too

God knows, they need one.

Crap! I let my club membership expire so I can't see it. Well, I'm sure it looks great. Can't wait to get him!

Bah i can't see the pictures, that's so lame.

This is GREAT news!!!!
I'm soooo relieved that he's not going to be an exclusive!!!!

Thank you, God!!!!

Where's the picture? i don't see it.

I will find it hard to leave Smokescreen on the shelves... I'm also very curious to see what Legends Warpath looks like, not so interested in Hot Shot or BW Dinobot.

You need to actually start reading the posts people put up and worry less about getting +1 to your own.

The first post clearly states why a picture is not shown.

Counterpunch, I can't seem to find the image on the club website when I am logged in there. I haven't been able to find it in the message boards over their either. It appears like they must have taken the image down on their own site as well.

Hmmm

Go to the forums and into the Club Magazine discussion forum there.

Yeah. I've read that several times. Not found. Went back and then read it again a few times. Making sure i didn't miss any hidden lines. Still did not see it.

I may be slow. But pls don't make FALSE accusations at your whim. Others can't find it too. Why not accused them too? Why am i always being singled out? If you're not happy with my post count, you can have it. Or make some yourself. It's a free country. I can't use the post counts to purchase TF toys. So quit casting a red eye on it.

Dude, you have to pay and sign up as a club member... Look, if you read all posts, you might understand it but you don't seem to have clearly understood anything... Just wait and pictures will go public soon. Plus, you are incorrect. They weren't false accusations and the way in which you replied to Counterpunch... I think I'd watch what I said next time if I were you.

Of course i got that. We went in as club members. But we didn't find the pic. Maybe we're just not too familiar how to navigate inside. That's why i asked "Where's the pic?" in the first place.

As for the accusation, it IS false accusation. I've been hit with this kind repeated sarcasms lately, pertaining to my "high" post count. Everytime i asked something or didn't quite get how to do something, there you go, accusing me of "adding +1" post. Should i be "all-knowing" so that i won't ask questions anymore? Sorry, i'm not perfect. I like to learn and ask questions. It is built into my personality. I never brag or pretend i'm all-knowing.

Somebody should stop these false accusation habit.

Sometimes, it sounded so real that it maliciously alerted a mod. Only to cause retraction later with apology. Let's spare them that unnecessary extra work.

I know English isn't your first language, but you really should have been clearer with what you were asking, Autobot. No one could tell from your post that you are a TFCC member and were looking for the image on their forums.

DMSL wrote:Bah i can't see the pictures, that's so lame.

Actually, i'm not the only one who can't see it. And we both didn't announce whether any of us are members or not.

But i'm the only one who gets attacked. And the attack is not even about "how lame is my ability to find the picture". It's trying to connect to an entirely different issue. Actually a none issue that some of you here are trying hard to make it an issue. To make this either a bait for a fight, or make me a red hot target for the mods. This is totally not necessary. I am the only one constantly being thrown garbage attacks for the purpose of making me very visible for whatever malicious purposes.

This is not the first time. Nor second time. Nor... i lost count.

I prefer that anyone who want to attack me, to just hit me with the issue at hand in this thread. And not drag something else entirely unrelated.

(To DMSL, i'm just borrowing your post as an example. I hope i'm not dragging you into anything. Peace.)

Apparently it was invisible the first time:

So uh.... How 'bout that Smokescreen?

I'm not a fan of repaints.

But this one is justifiable. I'll be "forced" to get this one.

Yeah. I'll definitely go for it.

I love this 70s Z car. Now, i'm loving this new Z car. And all the characters in its mould.

Great another figure with crap paint. It will smudge just like with Prowl and Silverstreak. I'll probably get it anyway because I like the mold.

first DragStrip now SmokeScreen....Glorious Repints
Think a Red Alert may come of the SideSwipe mold?

what makes this news even better is they've gone with the true G1 colours for him instead of the alternator style

big respect for that

can't wait to see pics

I hadn't heard of any paint smudging problems on Bluestreak, what with him not being out yet and all. Care to share your source/s?

Come down off the cross, build a bridge with it and meet me on the other side.

You were not being "attacked". But be honest, you did not read the posts (not all of them anyway) before you posted.

:sigh: Just realized my title doesn't say 'Moderator'

oh well. Surprise Moderation for all!

If we are getting Inferno then we should get Red Alert! I tell you I'm still waiting for the day they release Bluestreak! I'm not talking about silverstreak either! Oh and with the addition of Inferno we also need grapple! I better see some trailbreaker love this time around too!

One more thing.... We need more DECEPTICONS!!!

I must be missing my spot check cuz I can't find the thread showing pics of him. I saw the one thread of comments but no pics. Mind telling me how to find the pics?

to anyone that can't see the picture yet, such as not being a member, don't worry you aren't missing too much. I love that the repaint is being done and he does look like Smokescreen.

Probably will be about a month and another image will be released and then you can see for yourselves, last time folks didn't have to wait long.

I'm more curious to see what others we will see in Wave 2 or subsequent waves after that.

Go to the forums and into the Club Magazine discussion forum there.

And there he is I didn't read the initial post very well. Thanks for the directions. He looks pretty awesome.

Well I cant wait till these pics go public.I'm just about finished with a Smokescrean custom and I want to compare them.

I've seen the pic.

I'm impressed enough to say that he's better than I expected, but he's still not great.

I saw a fan digibash of the same figure (G1 color corrected) and it looks far better than Hasbro's planned color scheme.)

It's amazing what one or two paint apps will do.

EDIT: (Part of this post is stricken off upon request.)


Yeah, let's stick to the topic.

The paint job is not the neatest. But so are most of Hasbro's work. At least it's not too expensive as the other series. *cough* *henkei* *cough*

Well the cover for issue 23 is viewable now, and you can get a look at Smokescreen in altmode.

A first look at Legends Cosmos as well.

Yeah. I like this version of Cosmos. He's a Legend (I think?), but he'd work fine posing with the rest of the Classics team.

Probably the very first Legend i'll ever buy.

Beachcomber, Brawn, and Warpath...maybe...

Did you say Warpath? Is he part of the anniversary group?

I wasn't aware. Any place i can find a pic of him?

Heh, nope. Not yet.

Smokescreen: yup, that looks like Smokescreen. Good.

Legends: I'll buy them, but I wish they'd done the characters in Scout size as well. I like Legends figures, but I like them as miniturizations of larger characters, not as the only release for a character.
