Major kudos for keeping it in line with the past couple years. Always nice to see Transformers toys do something other than go up, up, up, and up in price.

While my real hope would have been for a combiner of the Scavengers out of IDW's comics, this is going to be a welcome curiosity for my collection. I haven't been as excited about a club offering since the battlechargers!

Bludgeon has two swords and Impactor gets a friggin' armory?

Ugh, the temptation is real...

I'm quite excited for this set and this will be my first time joining the collectors club. It's going to be another week or so until I join so to those of you who have ordered already, how much would I have to put down for this set?

I'm so in for this set, totally worth the $25 import fee I get hit with every time one of these things drops through my mailbox. Made all the sweeter with Ruckus, earliest TF memory I have is playing with him in pre-school. I know it will never happen but if Carnivac ends up as the bonus figure I would be over the moon.

I think I'm going to pass on 4.0.I have done all three years so far but after the problems with a figure in the last series 3.0 Nacelle I just don't know.

I'd be willing to bet that some of the weapons named on the order page are going to turn out to be the combiner kibble guns. In Impactor's case, probably the "Messatine photon launcher"

Price is less steep than expected, hopefully I can scrape it together.

That was my assumption too, based on each figure having at least two weapons, even if only one was pictured.

One membership related question, if I accidentally forget to renew my membership next April when it's up for renewal, what happens with the TFSS if I've already paid for it?

I wonder how many people who say 3rd party combiners are too expensive will spend $300 on this. :-?

Im gonna order sometime in the middle of the month right after I pay my credit card up. Wish there was an option to skip impactor and knock 50 bucks off. MMC is doing a better version of the character.

I'm torn. On one hand, I want it. on the other hand, since subscribing to 2.0 last year I have received one figure with a missing pin (chromedome, actually not the worst error ever because it stayed on 90% of the time and I could pop it off and make him a pirate, so I was reluctant to exchange it for a new one, but I did anyway), one figure with the waist installed backwards (Rewind), and one figure missing a nipple (Nacelle). I really want to see the combiner head.

Speaking of weapons, I wonder which (if any) of the additional weapons being included will be an original mold, and where the rest will come from. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them use some Construct-Bots weapons like they did for Oilmaster.

And what happens if I pay for the FSS and then intentionally choose not to renew my club membership?

I was really looking forward to this set, but some other expenses have come up over the last few weeks that put a damper on my ability to subscribe. there were three figures I wanted anyway out of the six, so I may try to pick them up individually on the secondary market.
I considered pre-ordering them on BBTS, but at $85 per figure that is a tough pill to swallow.
If the deadline to order is extended into October that changes things and I could probably go ahead and subscribe.

Although the mystery figure will probably be a scout, I'm really hoping it turns out to be Crankcase as an alternate limb. Even though we already got an update of him from the GF/C First Aid mold, CW First Aid's head would be perfect for Crankcase (and what a strange coincidence THAT be...) and I want all 3 Triggercons done CW style. Even though the current Mayhem limb-lineup jives nicely with Thunderwing's Matrix Questin' crew, Crankcase did show up on that one cover, so it'd make more sense to do him than finish off the Double Targetmasters with Quake from Brawl.

It's been revealed that the 7th figure is also a Combiner Wars Deluxe.

As much as I want them to do Crankcase and Quake, I kinda doubt either of them would be a character Karl Hartman lobbied years to get...

Also it's confirmed to be a deluxe CW figure.

Maybe the 2017 freebie and extra can be Guzzle and Quake since they like sharing molds for those two slots. That would just leave getting Crankcase so we can finish both the Decepticon double Targetmasters and Triggercons.

It'd have been much nicer to get them as a retail release instead of two superfluous

teams, they could have made skylynx a secondary wavemate, and made the purple griffon guy (

) the main release

Yeah you have to pay them to pay them to buy the figures, probably my biggest problem with it >:oP

You do get an 8th figure while doing so, of course. Ramjet comes with the Club Membership, then there are the 7 Subscription figures.

They're sold as a set, kinda like how you couldn't take just one member of a Mini-Con team from Armada out of the package and buy it on its own. Same principle, just more expensive by several orders of magnitude. :-P

Superfluous meaning they (the 2 '84 teams) were made up of rehashed figures, when we could have gotten the tfss figures instead; and purple griffin being the one from the cartoon in one of the later seasons I think.

I'll agree with that on one level but on another, the TFSS characters are, to most people, pretty obscure characters who haven't had a figure since g1, whereas the autobot rehash limb teams are all relatively well known characters that could be said to be in the main character lineup. In fact, I am amazed they didn't ignore the comics and throw a bumblebee retool of some limb or another at us.

I think the new reveal is his altmode, since the guns were shown in the mock-ups at BotCon.

I'm curious about that as well, especially if this does well numbers-wise compared to the previous years' more varied offerings.

I don't mind more cohesive themes for subscriptions, though I have some personal preferences for which themes I'd prefer to see touched on (Diaclone, G2, sub-groups like Action Masters & Pretenders).

Looks like the front of the fuselage/backpack, and the front sections of the legs. though it might end up that the whole backpack piece ends up blue, I dunno. we'll have to wait for production samples as opposed to magical photoshops.

It looks like they may have swapped/fixed the picture since then, or I'm absolutely losing my grip on reality, as I swear the fuselage and leg shell pieces were blue earlier today

As much as I am tired of all the CW repaints I would buy Needlenose and Spinister if they were in shops because I'm fond of those characters from their roles in the Marvel Comics (both the UK and US). Bringing back the Targetmaster buddies really add to the appeal too. I don't care about the combining (and I don't much like the Bludgeon, I far prefer my Headrobots-enhanced RotF Bludgeon) but the characters, yeah...

Anyone want to sell me Needlenose and Spinister sometime?

I'm surprised there isn't an option to receive a lump shipment of the figures at the end of the service. That might give international customers more flexibility in cost (cheaper to send all at once) and ease of mind (less possibility of loss or damage).

Did the head change? did they use a different mold before or was I dreaming it looked different.

EDIT: and nevermind

I didn't even know there would be targetmasters. Bonus!

Depends on Hasbro, I think.

A couple of points support this being said without saying it. We have this Tweet, I think some things were said about more product synergy in the Botcon TFCC panel (maybe not in those words?), and this goes back to what Jerry hinted to me in February (comes around 1 hr 24 minute mark) as well.

In other words, if "Titan Wars" is the theme next year, I'd expect a good amount of TFCC stuff that can jump in with that.

Don't think I should have to write this but just in case: this is all just my speculation.

The targetmasters are great, but they're gonna become the new classic seekers at this rate
