Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronians philswitch engage and cdavid3, along with the official announcement from the Botcon Twitter account, we now have word that one of this year's Transformers Collectors' Club Exclusive Figures, Nova Prime, is available for purchase.
Transformers Collectors' Club Members may order Nova Prime from theTransformers Club Store by following this link. This figure will set you back $59 plus shipping. Nova Prime is a recolored version of Generations Orion Pax, and features a new head sculpt that is also found on this year's Collectors' Club Membership Incentive figure Lio Convoy.
The order page also lists this bio and information for Nova Prime:
If you aren't a member of the Transformers Collectors' Club and would like to sign up so you can order the figure, check out the club's website.
Additionally, it looks as if the free incentive figure Lio Convoy and the first part of Figure Subscription Service 3.0 will be mailing out soon. An email sent out to club members had the following to say about it:

AUTOBOT® HIGH COMMANDER
“‘Till all are redeemed"
NOVA PRIME walks a fine line between being the leader his heritage demands and battling inner demons that threaten to tear his synaptic conscious to a psychotic breaking point. While his ‘accolades’ will be remembered in the Halls of Iacon for eons, he is looking for redemption for what he sees as a ‘lapse in vision’ for his fellow Cybertronians. Combining his Quantum Fusion cannon and his “G-Metal” Battle Axe, NOVA PRIME is a formidable warrior on the battlefield and a masterful tactician in the war room. NOVA PRIME has been given a second chance and seeks to usher in a new Golden Age of Cybertron®. Will a new lasting peace on Cybertron finally come to fruition or will the whispers of the past come back to haunt NOVA PRIME, taking away any chance at redemption and plunging Cybertron once again into…Chaos?
Nova Prime is a Deluxe sized figure which features an ALL-NEW head sculpt. Look for Nova Prime later this year in the 2015 TCC Magazine Club comic. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display. There is also an additional cut out for you to store the Lio ConvoyTM figure.*
*Lio Convoy sold separately
If you aren't a member of the Transformers Collectors' Club and would like to sign up so you can order the figure, check out the club's website.
Additionally, it looks as if the free incentive figure Lio Convoy and the first part of Figure Subscription Service 3.0 will be mailing out soon. An email sent out to club members had the following to say about it:
Hello Club Members,
If you are participating in the FSS 3.0 service, please verify your address at the FSS site by logging in making sure your address is correct by the end of day Thursday, May 7. We will be working shipping these out to you and the end of next week.
If your address has changed since March 16th, please email your correct address to admin@funpubinc.com as well. Please note that the systems are totally separate so if you have moved, you will need to update both the FSS and send an email to admin for your club free figure.
Thanks for your support!

Who is that Purple Prime on the box?
I can't tell if it's SG Optimus, some obscure Nemesis, or that Purple Lucky Draw(?) Lio Convoy figure whose name I forget.

That bio... Just who is this version of Nova and what universe is he from?
I've only heard one theory about who he is and where he's from, and a whole lot of you guys are likely to not like it if it's true.
Therefore, I'll spoiler-tag the theory:
The theory is that he's Shattered Glass Optimus Prime after having been reformatted by the good Unicron, like how the evil Unicron turned Megatron into Galvatron in the 1986 movie, but with the added twist of the good Unicron trying to turn SG Optimus into a good guy.

How that relates the Multiversal Singularity concept, which is still in play since Part 1 of "Another Light" had G1/BW/Classics/etc. Prowl give the first ever in-fiction mention of the concept, is anyone's guess, but Pete also noted that we'll just have to wait and see what this "good Unicron's" deal is.
Personally, I'm thinking it's just some other guy who isn't a god, but who also happens to just have the same name and look as the dark god. An "impostor" or "lookalike", of sorts.

Pete has chimed in about that and confirmed that the Unicron seen previously in the "Another Light" preview is, and I quote, "good".Twitchythe3rd wrote:Wouldn't Unicron be evil no matter the universe, being a multiversal singularity?

Looks very nice, but getting both him and Lio Convoy seems somewhat redundant, sure, they're different characters, but the colorsschemes are far too similar IMO and the mold suits Nova a lot more.
That said, it's out of my budget :/

I ordered Nova in the hope that the face ends up looking nicer in person. Hopefully we get that black/purple deco sometime in the near future. He looks nice.
That's one expensive halberd!

I've been saying this since day one of seeing this figure. Glad to know I'm not the only one doing this, haha. Though in recent fiction, Chromia has been using blasters.

Galva-LioConvoy? I was thinking the same thing, but the head isn't colored right for that. Could just be an evil Nova Prime if what's posted above is true, before being made good. Would explain the purple.

You'd be paying for the exclusivity, plus the new (outsourced) head, not the mold itself
I wonder what lead the Club to decide on Lio Convoy be the free figure instead of Nova.

I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but Nova strikes me as a more popular/desired character than Lio, hence you get the less wanted character as the membership freebie and pay for the other one you want more. It certainly got me to open my wallet; if the situation were reversed, I'd only have Nova and wouldn't spring for Lio, even with a cool box to put him in.

Looking at the back windshield makes me wonder why we haven't gotten a Windcharger out of deluxe Bee and on the other part of the spectrum, sure, we'll most likely get Windbreaker out of Carzap, but come on! That's a dead ringer for Legends Taligate! Wonder why we got Windcarger out of Tailgate with the RTS one being so recent, Windbreaker would've been nicer, we got G2 Dreadwing after all. That said.

Who exactly is the lego guy supposed to be ? I was under the assumption it was just a random human...
G.B. Blackrock, a business man and Autobot ally from the Marvel comics and a semi-major player at that. The choice of him being represented by a Kreon refers to the canceled Block Town line, an attempt to mix Transformers with building blocks, and Carzap's parent line:
Expect the head to be reused for his predecessor, G1 EU Zap aka G2 Windbreaker:
That figure would be awesome - the orange and blue really pop.
So many great uses from that IDW Bumblebee mold...
Looking at the back windshield makes me wonder why we haven't gotten a Windcharger out of deluxe Bee and on the other part of the spectrum, sure, we'll most likely get Windbreaker out of Carzap, but come on! That's a dead ringer for Legends Taligate! Wonder why we got Windcarger out of Tailgate with the RTS one being so recent, Windbreaker would've been nicer, we got G2 Dreadwing after all. That said. I love my lil' red CW guy, his granite effect is awesome!

Im think because the RTS Windcharger was so hard to find, and he's one of the core original characters - "easy money" repaint? He was also in the flashback parts of the MTMTE comics... Hopefully we see more bright and colourful redecos of that mould in the future.

Nova Prime is shipping really fast. Some people, like fellow user Powered Convoy, have already gotten him in hand.

Hmm my order that was placed about 5:30am Thursday their time is still marked as "Not Shipped." Hopefully that's just them not updating the system or that it'll go out sometime today

Good news folks for those waiting on their TCC exclusive Lio Convoy, we just got word from Seibertron.com member Zomatron that he just got his in today! That means everyone should be receiving theirs in soon if you haven't gotten it already! Lio Convoy is a repaint of Generations Orion Pax with a new head. Check out the picture that Zomatron was kind enough to provide and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

That looks HORRIBLE!
There is NO excuse for such shoddy workmanship on such a high-priced figure! None!

Yeesh... that's really bad even by Club standards. Did something happen to the molds, or the materials that they were made from?

I remember saying when pictures first came out months ago "man that head sculpt looks horrible compared to the concept art". I also remember being told "it looks fine, you're over exaggerating they never look like the concept art". Who's laughing now! Still not me.

Peaugh didn't get his from the club, either. So. Pretty sure he got one that ended up in the "factory reject" pile.

If you use the "img" tag you can show us the pics instead of just link them to us
Anyways it looks much better that other shot!

I did try that, but I couldn't get it to work for some reason. Now I know why. Thank you!
