ScottyP wrote:Is the order code for this available? No way my shop's gonna just order copies for the heck of it, and I would like to get my order in soon-ish. Those cut offs are brutal on IDW stuff, I'm sure there's probably only a short window to order this as well.

Primal Sabbath wrote:So any word on getting Razor's Edge and/or Dark Heart of Sandoken?
Also what about Wreckers Finale? (Granted I already have a PDF of Wreckers Finale, just thought I'd ask anyway).

But that's only doable for the three on the left. There aren't any Generations molds for the body-types of Seaspray, Beachcomber, or Hubcap.

Not with that attitude there aren't.

I hear you though. New Beachcomber is way overdue, and the Energon one just doesn't work for Classics.

There was the Universe Beachcomber and HFTD Sea Spray.

With how many non-SG toys got repurposed into SG toys, there kinda-sorta is one.

I should re-phrase that to "shattered glass toyline that is retail and affordable to general public"

A lot of the ones listed there were retail figures. Many Scout class ones, even.

Author says "I’ll be posted the final art for all 4 Raptoricons when they’re fully revealed in the next issue!", which makes me curious how the characters will be involved next issue, since Fractyl already left. A separate story, just a character model gallery or something else?

I certainly didn't mean to speak to the quality of the club's prose stories; hard to do that when I haven't read them. Any stories in particular stand out as gems? Would be interested to take a look at them!

I would personally recommend the Shattered Glass prose, although if you're not a fan of the Shattered Glass concept that may not appeal. In that event, I would suggest any of the current "Beast Wars: Uprising" stuff, which typically has the advantage of being a touch shorter, but I still prefer the SG stuff.

RevTibe wrote:Huh. While there's very little set in stone about Toxitron, I always got a goofy vibe from him - be it the "haha, look at those colours and name!" he had originally or the "me am not Bizarro homage!" take in animated. This is certainly divergent! (Edit: and seems to fit with the release being originally planned for Nemesis Prime.)

Still a well done story though, although some aspects felt a bit artificial when trying to play him up as badass.

I wonder if the stuff about him keeping that head in his torso might lead in to the Combiner fiction (although he does discard the noggin later).
