The 2nd TFSS 4.0 figure - Ruckus

Slick! Those teal details are a neat touch, will they be somewhat metallic to more closely invoke the G1 sticker appearance?

Anyone else reminded of Cannonball with that color palette?

Not really, but now that you mention it the First Aid retooling of that could work pretty well as Cannonball. Or Red Alert (UT Red Alert, not G1).

These molds are just so versatile. Love it.

Shame Trailbreaker isn't using the First Aid molding. He'd be near perfect as Armada Red Alert.

For anyone confused as to why the front and back halves of the truck are two different colors, it was like that on the G1 toy as well:

Not so much confused by it, but I don't find the two tone colors at all aesthetically appealing in this case.

The arm panels/doors being purple might help. Looking at the pictures, I can't tell if they are or not. Purple in the bot mode picture, tan in the alt mode one.

Pretty nice looking guy. Love the color choices and patterns

Naw man, gotta use trailbreaker arm fused with first-aid, so you can plug in the knife claw and hook into the trailbreaker arm

What is this a picture for ants?




Seriously I can't see slag due to the tiny image.




EDIT: NEVER MIND THE ACTUAL TWEET IS BIGGER SIZED (WHY ARE WE YELLING?)

I think you meant Rook but I still like where your head's at (or my limited messing around with First Aid is showing)

Well it's Rook if you're making Cybertron Red, First Aid if you're making Armada Red.

No, first-aid with trailbreakers 5mm cannon arm into cannonball

I will happily take an Armada Red Alert from First Aid with Trailbreaker's Rook-patented cannon-fist.

MAKE IT HAPPEN, HASBRO/TFCC!

We already had that with BotCon Cannonball last year. Your argument is invalid.

Well, I never got the botcon one, I was weary of the possible gps (and the high price). So I really want one to update the cybertron one; but in the end, if it came out through this, I wouldn't get it anyway

Controversial opinion, Cybertron Cannonball, better in just about every way to the botcon one.

I kinda get that, botcon's looks much more refined, engineering wise, but the cybertron one feels like what cannonball aspired to be, i.e. multiple attachment options for his hand, and much better/bigger art.

I think this is a strong case where hasbro just makes up a character (i.e. addressing the now lack of originality), just pulls him outta their a$$, and he ends up being memorable and amazing, however the strong G1 first mentality of a chunk of the fan base is over-riding the possibility of having a line take place that is autobots vs. the starseekers. They could even redesign thundertron from skylynx and have him combine with his crew

Mindmaster wrote:Also: "Impactor risks life and his remaining limbs"... Wrecker combiner in the works/confirmed?

I'm assuming this is referring to his missing hand that is now a harpoon accessory.

SW's SilverHammer wrote:Controversial opinion, Cybertron Cannonball, better in just about every way to the botcon one.

I agree with this. We already had a deluxe Cannonball so doing a new deluxe Cannonball wasn't really something I wanted. Now, had the Arms Micron Breakdown mold been used for a more badass Cannonball, that I would've gotten behind 100%. Would the Silas Breakdown head have worked for Cannonball? Seems like it might if I recall what the head looked like.

Also curious if we're going to get Armada Red Alert out of the BotCon 2014 Cannonball remold? That I might be interested in. Plus Universe 2009 Hot Shot could use an Autobot friend!

I like how they just painted over the hand. makes it look like he's wearing a purple glove and an orange one covered in rhinestones.

I'm still trying to get myself to accept that CW Wheeljack having a sword is a coincidence and not a TFP homage.

Well at this point, just tell yourself that specific figures will always come with a certain weapon and hand/foot gun, there are no alternatives

The Transformers Collectors' Club has shared a new mock-up of TFSS 4.0 Spinister, along with his Targetmasters Hairsplitter and Singe. In this image you can check out both the robot mode, with color tweaks since we first saw him, and for the first time you can check out his helicopter alternate mode. Check out the image we've embedded below, and remember, the sign up period for TFSS 4.0 is now underway and runs until September 2. Click here to sign up for the TFCC FSS 4.0 today!



Spinister joins previously revealed Ruckus and Needlenose with Zigzag and Sunbeam, along with Bludgeon, Windsweeper, Impactor, and a seventh bonus mystery figure in TFCC's FSS 4.0.

While you're digesting this reveal, why not also check out our galleries of the original Transformers G1 Spinister and Targetmasters Singe and Hairsplitter? As always, keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for more FSS 4.0 full reveals as they come, plus the latest in news, updates, galleries, podcasts, comics, toy sightings, and more, even more than meets the eye.

So Spinister gets a belt fed machine gun, double Targetmasters, six missiles and a double gatling Vulcan gun?

It's enough to make an Ork feel like a Snotling.

I do like that teal

This is going to be one colorful combiner.

Really happy the eyes are separated like that rather than a full visor. Separates him from Alpha Bravo and Vortex and makes him more like Spinister.

I notice that until you said something, but it does look a lot better.

Mayhem Maximus shall be a colorful and loud combiner!

those photoshop skills

For those voting for blue vs. black on Spinister's face, here are close-up mock-ups as to what those would look like. (And I hop no one minds I borrowed the original photo of Spinister from Seibertron's own galleries!)

Doubledealer93 wrote:those photoshop skills

The base photography are of Hasbro's hand-painted samples. Due to the way the light hits the paint opposed to plastic, it is very difficult to get Photoshopped colors to look "right". Especially with obnoxiously (and gloriously) loud colors like the 1988 Targetmasters.

I like the black better, I think it yields a better contrast. Then again, the teal is a bit more G1 toy-accurate. Going off Twitter, it looks like the teal has more votes, and that's ok, I could live with either. But yeah, black got my vote.

I like the domino mask better.

Well played, Sir, well played. I bow to your superior psychosis!

Seeing this Spinisiter has made me want to track down the Con Exclusive which used the Tomahawk mold. I like the look of that one better. Almost had one from Ebay but was sniped at the last minute...I'll keep trying.
