I'm tempted.
Though including a minicon in there would really sweeten the deal.

Those are a nice shade of cobalt, indigo, red and silver on Armada Starscream super mode.
Gives me high hopes for a updated figure for Optimus, red alert, hot shot, demolisher, cyclonus, smokescreen, blurr, wheeljack, sideways and the other Armada cast aside from thrust as he is getting a update sometime near April 2016

Bugger. If Skywarp weren't a BotCon exclusive I'd pick up this guy, Starscream and Skywarp and have them as my Seeker trio. As it stands though...maybe if Takara releases Skywarp themselves...
On topic, though, this guy looks awesome. Loving that deep rich blue.

The Club is doing Skywarp because Takara is doing this figure. The Club doesn't want people to feel that the trio is incomplete, so they're giving us the last missing member.Delta Magnus wrote:Bugger.

It pleases me to see that by the end of 2016, I'll have almost all of the Armada seekers/repaints (still want the Sam's Club version)

Man since my Armada SS broke, I've been tempted to get this guy.

Armada Skywarp is not a BotCon exclusive. It's a TFCC exclusive. You need only buy that figure if you want it, not a whole boxed set or something. If you're not currently a member of the club, you'll have to buy a year's membership, of course, but completing your Armada "seeker trio" is definitely doable. As a bonus, if you do get a membership soon enough, the "free" bonus figure this year is Armada Ramjet. With Thrust coming from Takara with the Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron set, all you would need for the second trio is for Hasbro, the TFCC, or Takara to do a Dirge repaint of UW Thrust.

Is it possible to get TFCC figures from other online sellers like BBTS?

Sometimes. It depends on if the third party re-sellers think it's worthwhile to invest in a particular item the club puts out. They're going to be selling at a mark up above what you would pay to buy directly from the TFCC, so it's got to be something that they know will continue to draw interest for a while. Essentially, they'd need to buy a bunch of stock and wait until the TFCC has no more of whatever figure to sell to the public to entice late comers to buy from the aftermarket to get what they want at a premium price.

Understandable. Currently I am not a TFCC member, so I can't get figures from there, unless I get them at a much higher price somewhere else. :I

E-bay is a better bet for the secondary TFCC market than BBTS. You can always go in the BST forums and make a new thread where you ask someone who has a membership to help you out and you can work out the fee you'd give them as a middle man.

Hmmm yeah, Ebay sounds easier though. I may keep that secondary option in the back of my mind though.

I'll get this toy just for the blue. No kidding.

Understandable.
Though if I get it, it's because my original Armada SS broke, which it did.

Wow, that looks nice, except, maybe, for the bright red face, 12 years later, and I'm still not sure about it

What's more is that the blue and red are the same shades as the original Micron Densetsu Starscream Super Mode toy instead of the less nicer blue and red of the original Armada Thundercracker toy.OptimalOptimus2 wrote:I'll get this toy just for the blue. No kidding.

Darn me and my complete and utter lack of funds to pick this guy up. I have only seen Armada once, and when I saw Starscream's Super Mode recolor, I was awed, kinda like I am with this figure. Well, there's another on the shelf that I will probably never get, no how much I want it. Looks nice, though.
