If that IS happening, I have no choice but to renew my TFCC membership next year. This is AWESOME news.

Nope, still not renewing my membership. I'll buy a knockoff before I go crawling back to their ugly a***s.

What?! I expected Scourge/Nemesis Prime to be retail, or at least a SDCC exclusive to keep up the tradition. This is ridiculous, and yet another missed/ignored opportunity on Hasbro's part.

Ugh, I hope it's not a club exclusive. If it is, I have to ask a member to buy an extra one for me, because I'm not joining just for that.

TFCC exclusive or not, I'll probably bite, I just hope Maketoys does a Battle Tanker repaint for him, I never got the original cause I felt Scourge deserved the Battle Tanker upgrade more.

I could care less either way. Much as a classic-ized version of CR Black Convoy/RID Scourge would be, I tend to find the original somewhat more satisfying for it's size, plus the only figures out of that series I would want to see redone are the Combatrons/Commandos, since most of the figures out of that series were quite decent.
Next!
Next!

Should have been a store exclusive tops. However I'll probably bite.
I'm hoping it'll be the freebie figure and not the club store exclusive....

Yeah, I hope this is the freebie figure and not the store exclusive. As cool as scourge is, I'm not paying $60 for something that has no place in my collection... I already have SDCC Nemessis Prime filling the space for my classics.

Well.... it was bound to happen someday. I kinda expected him to be Nemesis Prime, though. We're getting images tomorrow, right?

Probably photoshop mock-ups from TFCC's presentation slides... So I guess the other 2 figures for TFCC 2013 would be revealed tomorrow too. *Please be a wrecker or targetmaster*
For this year's set, they really should have went with Rotorstorm instead of Spinster for the Tomahawk mold. Would have complimented Kick-Out or Kick-Off rather.

Boy didnt see that coming lol
I was planning to repaint my OP because I assumed this would be some exclusive. The RTS OP mold screams Scourge to start with, and the original colors were such a mess.

Kind of messed up that this isn't going to be a retail figure, but I'm honestly not surprised. Hasbro hasn't given us a true transforming Black Convoy repaint since Universe 1.0. It's like Black Convoys are always exclusives of some sort. I'm still shocked that we got a mass released Nemesis Prime Botshots figure. I was half expecting to see a Black Convoy Botshots Prime as an Asia exclusive for $60+ on the secondary market.

It must not be a very exciting year for the Club coming up, if they are dragging out a redeco of G2 Prime as Scourge over three successive panels.
Nice idea. Be nice addition to the collection and everything. But seriously, it's hardly an original idea. And I agree with those lending voice in support of Toxitron. Give us something new already. The Runabout / Runamuck set was inspired. Toxitron is a more worthy successor.

Of course I am in the middle of painting Laser OP and the KO Battle Tanker black and teal already. :SIGH: I never seem to win with these...
Still, official SCOURGE!

Toxitron is retarded. He has that stupid neon crap colour and is not a well known figure anyway. Besides, we got a lame animated version last year, bring on more RiD figures, redo Prowl and X-Brawn as well.
Bring on SCOURGE, the original NEMESIS PRIME!!!!

Black Convoy if he has the upside -down G2 logo. Never liked Scourge because it belongs to a decepticon already. I still have Black Convoy and passed on Scourge. Combatricons forever!!
