Ultra Mammoth for the Lulz!
If I do sell the figures here, I won't do it for crazy jacked up prices like on eBay. I'll probably just take the price of the subscription and divide it by the total amount of figures released (i.e. if Subscription were $500, and there were six figures, I'd sell each for $84).
Just to let you guys know.

Man, I really want all of these figures. And just when I thought I'd be fine with a complete Animated collection they drop two more.. damn.

Breakdonw, Slipstream, Animated Jackpot, and SCourge are all nice.
Ultra Mammoth, Circuit, not so much. Don't like the Axor head, and well, Big Convoy is a good mold, but not my collection cup of tea.

I hope we eventually do get a new mould for her, because that mould is PRIME Starscream, and thats it.
Posted by Jaw Crusher on April 28th, 2012 @ 4:04pm CDT
And "Ultra Mammoth"---that is so wonderfully cheeseball I don't know if I can resist.
Other than those two, though, pass.

Ultra Mammoth: Love, despite/because of the stupid name. This is one of those molds that I always very vaguely wanted but never found at a good price. Plus I love the ridiculousness of a cyan mammoth.
Also is anyone else super-excited that the club are still able to get ahold of Beast Era molds?
Jackpot/Circuit: While I love the idea of obscure characters getting their due I'm not a big fan of those molds, those colour schemes or the characters. A pass.
Slipstream: Not sure if want. I missed out on Starscream but I heard he's good. Don't think much of the character, Prime doesn't need another snarky, over-confident fembot.
Scourge: Bought on sight, obviously.
Breakdown: As much as I love the character I'm a little Breakdown fatigued what with the ROTF and all the Botcon figures. When are Botcon/TFCC gonna admit he's their mascot? Plus I hate that mold.

What'chu talkin' 'bout? Starscream already looks like a sexy woman, and now he will be, lol

Ok cool I do we even know when these will be available and do we have to get every figure or just the ones we want I only want 3 of them and I'm sure we can buy more than 1 because I know someone who bought a couple of runabout but that's a little different I guess

I would have never thought of using Prime Starscream as Slipstream. Clever move, Hasbro. Clever move...
Scourge is just as I expected; complete badassness. Sad that, like Breakdown, he's an exclusive.
Ultra "Mammoth"? Really? Bad play on words...

It's just like your Mini-Con collection; they'll just keep coming.

OR MAYBE IT WILL BE THE MOST AMAZING CROSSOVER EVER.

Animated, Beasts and Prime rolled into one crossover, most definitely.

Transformers: Clash of the Beastly Animated-Movie Classic Prime Transformers? As you can see, I hard a hard time making up a joke on that...
Posted by Burn on April 28th, 2012 @ 4:53pm CDT
The only other interest would be Slipstream, that should be a general release so some of us can go wild with repaints.
The rest can go ... away.

It seems our agendas are on the same track. Hmm... Well, as the saying goes, "great minds think alike."

To be fair the figures are varied enough that it would probably be possible to find someone who wants the figures you don't and doesn't want the ones you do. Then split the cost for one subscription.
Given that Club deluxes usually go for $40-$50 I'm a little concerned about the price for Ultra Mammoth...

It'll be expensive, it'll be a hassle, it'll be TFCC. All those things is bad, mmmkay?
Bad.

Wait. Seriously? But...he's a blue mammoth! White, I could see, but blue? (Okay, blue and white, but still.)
And would it have killed them to make him look like G1 Ultra Magnus in robot mode? Blue head, silver antenna, no face plate, colors in the correct order, etc...
I really don't know why I'm complaining. I'm not even gonna buy the danged thing!

Agreed. Definitely the figure I'm most excited for.

I personally also like Ultra Mammoth. It made me want to get the universe Nemesis Prime (but then I looked on eBay and that this is going at like $100-$150).
Some of those picture look very photoshoped and test-shotty. So he might very well look better down the line.

One...hu..hu...hundred? Why did I sell mine years ago? >_<

- Mammoth (Big Convoy) as Ultra Magnus. I WILL buy this mold in any color scheme they can dream up. It's one of my favorite TF's of all time!
- Breakdown. It's about f***ing time! I don't know how many times I've thought to myself 'Lamborgini Countache Transformer from G1, just like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, most obvious repaint EVER and with all the repaints this figure has gotten they STILL haven't given us one!!!! (but now they are, so I am pleased, yesssss)
For all the rest, you guys can have em'. I've no interest in Animated or G2 and I've already got the Japanese RiD (Car Robots) Scourge, which IMO is far superior to the RTS Prime mold, so meh.
