We all know that the Transformers Collectors' Club Subscription Service exclusive figure Rampage is shipping and arriving this week for some lucky members of the Club, but in the meanwhile, the BotCon Twitter account have tried laying some rumours to rest by showing a close close-up of Protoform X's head and neck - two in fact, check them out below!

Transformers Collectors' Club wrote:The container was off loaded yesterday. We are preparing to make the first shipment to you next week and then, due to the BotCon schedule, the second shipment will occur before BotCon. So, your first two figures will come relatively close together.

For those of you on the installment pay plan, we will be billing you the 2nd installment on July 2nd and the final installment on August 26th. Please make a note of those dates so that you can ensure there is enough money/credit in your account. Remember, we will attempt the billing 3X and after the third attempt, the remainder of your subscription will be cancelled and there is no way to reinstate it. Each time we rebill the admin fee is additive.

Your bonus figure will ship with the final shipment in October and only those who complete the full subscription will receive the free bonus figure.

In addition, we would like for all of you to log-in and check/correct your address and while you are there, check your cc information to make sure that it is still valid. Address changes must be made in the system by midnight Monday, May 26th, so that we can prepare the shipping documents that Tuesday morning. Click here to log-in to check your information. Do not log into the club store and make any address changes for this system. The two software systems are independent for shipping addresses. All FSS address changes must be made in the FSS system. All store order address changes must be made in the store system.

Please note that this went to every invoice in the FSS 2.0 system, even if your order did not go through or you cancelled it. We don't have a way to separate the different emails so this was sent to everyone. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks for your support and patience!

i definitely want this thing.. but i'm definitely not joining the club to get it.

i wish hasbro would think of some of these repaints/remolds themselves.

I feel the same way, especially with the recent sale they had. They had Depthcharge for 15 dollars ( bagged ). But yeah, not joining the club just to be able to buy these two figures

Getting him in hand will give me a good unbiased opinion on him but in truth, i have looking forward to this since he was announced.

Rampage isn't a subscription service figure. He's this year's membership incentive figure.

Meaning the big news post about the TFSS figures shipping soon may not necessarily pertain to Rampage.

Preordered the Transformers Collector's Club exclusive Transmutate? Are you excited for her? Well, now is the time to begin routinely checking your mailboxes! Fellow Seibertron.com user and podcaster ScottyP was fortunate enough to arrive home to find his Transmutate figure already in his mail! He was gracious enough to send in some visual proof as well.

Also, as a reminder, this year's freebie incentive figure Protoform X/Rampage, who is designed to be paired with Transmutate (there's even a spot in the box with Rampage's name on it!), is expected to arrive sometime this week or next week as well. Make sure to check your mailboxes for the next few days!

Seeing that picture is a big relief. It confirms the more muted color scheme of the original mockup, and that the pictures from TFCC last week were off color. goes from a tentative to a definite buy... not yet though, I'm gonna wait till my next paycheck.

Got my notice today as well. Trans-mutate is on the way to me right now. Can't wait.

I got mine today. Was surprised by her, because I wasn't expecting anything this soon. Feels like I paid for her just a week ago. Question I have is, when is Rampage supposed to ship? :michaelbay:

Ordered Transmutate - definitely looking forward to both her & Rampage.

Question on the TFSS 2.0 figures:

My Club membership expires in July, and I assume most of the TFSS figures are going to ship after that. Do I have to renew my membership to receive the remaining figures, or, since I paid for the subscription service in full and upfront, am I safe?

I'm thinking as long as you've paid in full for TFSS 2.0, you're safe. Again, don't take that as something set in stone, just an assumption.

Yea - I'll probably reach out to the Club about it. I remember there being a brouhaha over needing a current membership for some folks during the TFSS 1.0 run. Guess we'll see.

For those of you who signed up for the Official Transformers Collectors' Club Subscription Service 2.0 the wait for your fist figure is almost over. Fans have taken to the various social media outlets to report TFSS 2.0 Barricade with Frenzy has started hitting mailboxes. Check out the images below courtesy of Twitter user John DeLuna.

"Cruel? Justice is always cruel."

Barricade is devoted to his desire to see justice rendered. Unfortunately for the suspects he arrests, that justice is Decepticon justice. He is swift, cruel, and most times ignorant of the facts. Like a hunter studying his prey, Barricade stalks the streets of Cybertron looking for any individual who may be working against the great Decepticon ambition. Anyone acting suspicious is quickly detained and rarely seen again.

Over his career, Barricade had a number of partners: Howlback, Garboil, Nightstalker. Eventually each one requested to be transferred to another officer or precinct, but he ultimately gained a true partner in Frenzy. Frenzy excels at interrogation, although not at all useful in the roles of collecting evidence or tracking persons of interest. He also shows a complete lack of familiarity with Decepticon law. His zeal for inflicting pain until a suspect talks borders on the maniacal, but is crucial to Barricade's perfect case closure rate.

Posted by Sabrblade on June 1st, 2014 @ 5:31pm CDT

So either Prime Nightstalker is a Decepticon instead of an Autobot, or Barricade's career as a cop stretches as far back as before the war, enabling him to work with a pre-Autobot Nightstalker before the factions rose up.

I really like this figure

. I will say, as nitpicky as it will sound, the fact that the center piece of the light bar being red, looks a little off, but other than that, this figure's really nice.

I cancelled my Fisitron order and decided to get this guy instead. He looks much better than I was expecting.

That sounds like a pretty rational theory. I also like the mention of Howlback and Garboil. Love to see e-Hobby characters (and fembots, in Howlback's case) get some love.

Pre-post disclaimer: I'd still call them, I could be completely wrong on this!

If I recall correctly, if you paid in full you're set, if you're on the installment plan you need to be an active member while they charge the installments.

I'm surprised someone hasn't yet used the Generations FOC Data Discs of the bird, cat, and lion for the three since those should still be available to use.

It uses the tooling that came with the Prowl version of the mold instead of the Smokescreen version (head and lightbar).

Though, I do still kinda wish they had been able to give it a new head to better match the deco's source of inspiration:

Just got home to find mine having arrived and waiting for me.

Opening and examining the figure and its contents, the figure is in perfect condition with only two minor quibbles.

The first is a tiny chunk of plastic that needed to be hacked off from the back of its left shoulder/front bumper, as it was keeping the left hood piece from securing to the bumper in vehicle mode.

The second is the more widespread issue of Frenzy being slightly misassembled. His upper legs piece was put on backwards. A simple popping off, turning around, and popping back on fixed that.

Posted by ScottyP on June 3rd, 2014 @ 10:59am CDT

Haven't gotten Barricade yet, but man am I disappointed in that micron. Just a hunk of boring gray plastic.

Re: Transformers Collectors' Club Exclusive Rampage Close-ups and Now Shipping (1579090)
Posted by gothsaurus on June 3rd, 2014 @ 11:14am CDT

Yeah, my expectations for the micron was already lowered by having gotten a lot of the Takara ones. They're fun to assemble, but without any stickers or paint... the all look a bit plain, this one no exception.

BUT all things considered though — and knowing getting a LOAD of bonus microns and an extra figure with this subscription instead of just the six — I am overwhelmingly pleased with the offerings this year. The new head sculpts, concepts, packaging, paint apps, execution, bios, etc. They are all really solid.

There are a lot of fan favorites... and a mix of some of the better molds with a few obscure Takara ones.

Barricade looks really sharp in person, and props for the bonus item. Big smile here.

Just got my Barricade, damn he is nice. Only complaint I have about mine is he's a little floppy from the fairly loos ball joints. But it isn't so bad that he can't stand on his own. He won't be holding up frenzy on his own any time soon though. He looks great in either mode. Props to them for such a good job on this figure, it's beautiful.

Got my Barricade yesterday and he is really sweet. Even better looking in person and Frenzy is awesome as well. He is one of only 3 or 4 arms microns I really like. Can't wait for the others now and I also have not gotten Rampage.

For me, it was a relatively simple fix. I found it easiest to remove both lower legs first so as to get a better grip on the upper legs piece. Once those were out of the way, I got as best a grip on the piece in question as I could, and firmly but carefully pulled it free from the groin. Once that was done, it was simple matter of merely turning it around, clipping it back into place, and popping both lower legs back on. Took me less than a minute or two.

Thankfully Sou's legs are attached via a C-clip, easy to fix at the cost of possible stress marks. I'm actually dreading Stylor, the S.2 mold has a rather nasty assembly error in the instructions that's nigh impossible to fix without being super-careful.

The video also includes some nice comparison shots with archnemesis Depthcharge and box companion (in a way) Trasmutate. Check it out below!
