Some of you may remember Last week when we mentioned that the next TFSS 4.0 figure was shipping? Well, it turns out we have a surprise for you. The next figure was not a TFSS combiner member at all, but rather the Armada Universe Ramjet Figure! Ramjet is a retool of Generations "Thrilling 30" Armada Starscream with a new head and paint job. The figure can be expected to reach your doors any day now, so keep an eye out! Seibertronians Doctor McGrath and Sabrblade alerted us to the arrivals and both provided pictures for you to check out below.

Universe is the correct term. His head is red, therefore he is a Universe figure.

Got mine today. Same blue spot on the inside of the box lid, but doesn't seem to be any paint damage anywhere. Now, when will the Armada Skywarp be available?

Better look again. I got mine in and it does have paint wear as does the one in these pictures. Look at the front, top insides of the launchers/thrusters by the red inner pieces in this picture. The missing spots aren't very big but they are there on at least this one and mine. It's a lot of bullshit too considering that they know that things like this happen which was why they've been putting foam on top. Yet they didn't for this one. Not only that but that stupid extra piece they put into the foam to lift the front end of the jet up, pushes it up too high and into the bottom of the cardboard lid which is the main cause. If they hadn't put that piece in then the figure would've sat so far down into the foam that it never should've rubbed up against the cardboard.
I was thinking that maybe they'll just give us Skywarp for free as the "final year" incentive figure to everyone who signed up or was still signed up within that final timeframe. Maybe to everyone who ordered the TFSS 5.0 regardless of if they still had a valid membership? Wishful thinking but you never know.

Really loving that they are completing the trio +1. This Ramjet played a major role in the comics, and I loved that depiction of him.
All that said, I'm bummed about the paint rubbing on the top. If anyone finds a perfect paint match or fix for this, PLEASE post below.
Thanks if so!

Just got mine today, and he is a beaut! Particularly happy with how the headsculpt turned out, considering the last two freebies were either slightly too small (even though there's a perfectly good explanation behind it) or the paint was a tad too sloppy on it (don't regret selling Lio Convoy. Wasn't attatched to it at all).

hes right, give them a call. needlenose and garbuge both had problem right legs, and i called them both times and got a replacment leg within a week in both cases. didnt have to send anything back. as long as the problem part is easy to remove and attach, you can just ask for the missing part

More sloppy paint apps. Saves me a bunch of cash for a figure I'd otherwise want quite a lot. Had the G1 back in the day. This looks almost as bad as Ruckus as far as the paintwork. More high res shots needed to confirm though.

The paint apps are pretty damn sloppy. And much like ruckus a lot of his alt mode is paint instead of colored plastic so it's probably going to scratch off in no time.

A consequence of painting separated eyes on a visor: they're denied their beauty sleep
We can blame that on the mold layout for CW Deluxes. A lot of parts are the same plastic color due to being on the same tree i.e. you can't change the color of one part without changing everything else. And the more paint apps, the bigger the chance of blemishes.
He is. The list so far is:
1. Needlenose with Sunbeam and Zputty aka Zigzag
2. Grabuge aka Ruckus
3. Spinister with Singe and Hairsplitter (I suspect "Hairsplitter" to be changed)
With that, the order of the rest can be easily predicted:
4. Windsweeper
5. Impactor
6. Decepticon Bludgeon + Mystery Deluxe
:EDIT: I was right: Hairsplitter is now called Shrute.

Yeah, the club has to work around gang molding, so sometimes they have a challenge in trying to mirror a given G1 character... but I think they nailed this one. Lavish paint apps and tampos for all of the 4.0 series — way more than Hasbro — really help overcome molding issues.
Mine looks just flat perfect right down to the face. Crisp paint and tampos. It really evokes the original — an obscure figure and character that I had and loved back in the day. (Color scheme was awesome.) I'm glad someone finally gave this guy a nod and a redux.
Then of course the Marvel UK appearances and team-ups there provide a synergy that makes this years' set exceptional... right over the top. Solid concept and excellent execution.
While I'm sad a few of you have had paint issues... I'm flying high. Super pleased and champing at the bit for 4.4 to post.

And a really, really curved visor at that!
I think maybe they could've mitigated it a bit with a different eye shape. Adams here has smaller eyes with some space separating them from the helmet, and looks considerably less derpish as a result.

Eye shape might have helped. Adams certainly looks fine. The main thing was that whoever did the actual application (remember, FunPub's mock-ups weren't like the final product) decided they needed to fill that entire space, which was clearly never the intention.
Just making the eyes smaller was all they needed....

Just got mine in. It seems the paint rub on the tailfin rotation joint comes pre-applied. Yay!!!
The paint used on this reminds me of my Universe Ironhide and Prowl. I think that this guy's paint job is just going to turn to shit in a short amount of time.
Wouldn't this have worked out better if they had molded it in pink and painted the legs blue instead of molding in blue and painting pink? There are less parts in the legs that NEED to be blue that would also have rubbing than there are parts that NEED to be pink that also have rubbing.
It looks good enough but I just worry about the longevity of the paint.

I'd wager their choices are dictated by what kind of plastics which parts are made of. (I'm sure you have noticed how some toys have softer plastic on pointy bits or ball joints to prevent breakage.)
Softer plastics won't take paint... and have a more limited number of dyes they will accept. It can really paint them in a corner trying to do repaints.

And absolutely none of that has any relevance with changing the layout as I suggested on this particular figure. It's why I mentioned it. They molded all the pieces that need to be pink in the same blue as the lower legs and painted them pink. Since it's all the same type of plastic, they could've switched the plastic colors and then painted the now pink lower legs blue instead of painting the entire upper body and vehicle mode back end pink. That would've used less paint and wouldn't have put paint on as many pieces that rub or inside any joints. The legs can be fully painted as already seen on UW Blades and the twins and how most of the lower legs are painted white on Blades and red on the twins.
The only thing my proposed plastic color switch would've changed were the forearms which are technically the wrong color anyway. It would've made pink forearms instead of blue and they still could've painted the missiles purple. But seeing as to how the forearms "should" be purple and not blue or pink, it doesn't matter what color they are anyway as they're getting that purple color from the missiles and not the forearms. Well, the rotor mount/butt flap would've been changed from blue to pink too but seeing as to how they painted the knee pads pink and they surround the blue rotor mount piece in alt mode anyway, it would've looked better with that piece being pink.
On top of that, they already had the proper color dye as they used it for the hips, thighs, shoulder balls, thumb joint and the combiner peg. So theoretically, all they had to do was use that same color on the standard plastic as they did on the stronger plastic for those other parts. I don't know if they could do that as this is now talking about two different types of plastic and using the same color treatment for both types but I'd imagine that they could've done it.
It's just that what the club did for Spinister just doesn't make sense to me when looking at the other versions of this mold and how they accomplished the colors on the ones that needed to be painted in those same areas as Spinister. I'm just glad that they didn't forget the top layer of foam on this one like they did for Ramjet.

The swords being a tight fit into the hands seems to be common with the mold itself, as both my Hasbro and Takara Starscreams have the same tight grip as Ramjet.grimdragon2001 wrote:Finally got my Ramjet in yesterday and he is awesome. did notice that his swords are rather hard to get in his hands and he has a very tight grip

While waiting for the Seibertron gallery of the Transformers Club's Spinister, fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has a video review for us. Spinister is a repaint of the Combiner Wars Alpha Bravo mold and is the 3rd figure for Thunder Mayhem to be released behind Grabuge (Ruckus) and Needlenose. You can also read the bio of this character here. Before we get to the review, here are some words from the bio's writer, Protoman:
The Generations Spinister referred to above is this figure.
Now onto the review!
Did a lot of fan wank writing for this one, mentioning his brief Dreamwave Armada comics appearance, his obscure Generations toy 2-pack and more. Nice to finally update a G1 character with a toy that does him justice.
The Generations Spinister referred to above is this figure.

Something made me change my mind about this and keep him, and I'm glad I did.

I'm getting a little frustrated with FunPub at the moment. I haven't gotten Ramjet yet and I'm keep leaving messages on the TCC website but no one is responding in the last week.

Have you tried calling them? Both Karen and Angie are nice and helpful.kurthy wrote:I'm getting a little frustrated with FunPub at the moment. I haven't gotten Ramjet yet and I'm keep leaving messages on the TCC website but no one is responding in the last week.

Joe Con is in progress (June 16th-19th). No one's around for a few more days yet.
A lot of folks still haven't gotten Ramjet yet. It's early to start worrying.

That makes sense. Those are the two weeks they're out of pocket... Botcon & Joecon.

I'm one of the one's who has yet to receive their Ramjet, but I thought I'd ask around before worrying too much! The cutoff was in March if I do recall correctly? I wasn't sure so I figured I'd ask, how long are (were?) Memberships good for? I believe I signed up for TFSS 4.0 (+Membership) around end of August 2015, so I thought they were good for at least a year, I should be good right? I'd definitely like to get Skywarp and complete the set as best as possible as well, the head mold won't go perfectly but I imagine he'll look nice beside Armada Starscream and Takara Super Mode Starscream (AKA Thundercracker if I'm not wrong in calling him that!)

When they were about to start shipping, they said it would be one every three weeks, but for the first three figures it was one every two weeks. Maybe they went back to the three-week time frame they originally intended?

the delay might have been due to JoeCon. since it was last weekend and all. I'm kinda glad since it also means a delay in the last installment being due. hope we hear some news from the club on when to expect that last payment hitting

The next subscription figure should be coming in soon. I got mine today and surprise surprise it's windsweeper. I'm going to be honest this is the guy I was least excited for going into this but having him in hand he's really nice. There's a lot of paint on him and unlike ruckus there's no obvious blemishes. I would take pictures but I'm lazy.
