TF Subscription Service Krok and Carzap in-hand images

Posted by Mkall Dec 25, 2014 at 1:52pm CST 50,522 views
The Transformers Collectors Club has posted on their Twitter feed images of two of their upcoming Subscription Services figures. They state that these are samples, but these two are "pretty much final."

Krok is a retool of Generations Stealth Bomber Megatron with a new head and will come with Gatoraider, a repaint of Arms Micron Dai.

Carzap is a retool of Generations Bumblebee with a new head, and will be accompanied by a KreO set featuring G. B. Blackrock and a representation of the Block Town gas station/laser weapon playset that was supposed to accompany the original release of the figure in Japan.

The Transformers Club has noted that they've received samples for all 6 figures of this set and most likely the unannounced 7th 'freebie' figure as well. So expect more club news in the near future right here!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Krok will go well with RoTF Bludgeon on my neo-G1 shelf. Krok, as Ted DiBiase used to say, "You will be bought!" Image

I know I give the club a hard time, I do, because Im fickle. However, I'm going to be amazingly pissed if the secret figure is G2 nightracer from generations tailgate. That mold sucks, so hard, and I genuinely adore nightracers character design from before timelines #9 where they screwed it all up by giving her a new body based on generations tailgate.

They should use the Animated Arcee mold. That's what it looked like before the Tailgate switch.

Of course, they could wait a few years and just use the new Generations Arcee mold.

On another note, TFCC really needs to produce new figures for the rest of the Action Masters that never had transforming figures before. I think those are the most inventive of their repaints.

No, she just looked like her G2 toy but stylized in the art of the comic.

And the Club likely won't use Animated molds for anything that isn't Animated.

Agreed. They are some of my most favourite Club offerings in recent years.

100% agree - the Club's action masters have been some of their strongest work.

Crook and Carzap are really looking great. I really hated on 3.0 when they first revealed the characters, but it's turning out to be a fairly cool subscription line. I'm very happy I signed up.

In my opinion, the Jackpot repaint was aimed to fit either on a classics or Animated shelf. The head isn’t too far off from the G1 toy even with the Animated aesthetic. I also use Toxitron on my classics G2 shelf. The faceplate gets rid of the goofy face and the toxic “mutation” helps justify his animated aesthetic as being deformed.

Krok and Carzap are the main reason I signed up for the Subscription service this year after skipping last year. Color me very impressed with the work on these two. Krok's altmode looks like it was made for him- his original toy has a starship bridge chest thing going on. And I'm digging Carzap's new head and what is that? A chromed weapon? Very nice.

Gotta wonder whose side he's on if he's part of Uprising.

Ugh. I'm excited for this guy, but getting two predominantly white versions of this mold really makes me want a "Nemesis Pax." I know that makes sense in no continuity, even the name makes no sense... but I just want it.

As a side note, I do wish we'd have gotten a more traditional Orion Pax (read "gheee-wuuuunnnn") head on that mold... maybe as a Takara release.

BUT gotta agree. So glad I subscribed to 3.0. While I was skeptical at the start, these have come out looking really nice... and the deep-rooted, well-researched, sometimes-obscure choices were like a slow-starting now out-of-control wildfire. I'm really, really excited about those... especially the action masters and unreleased character reduxes. :KREMZEEK:

Lio Convoy looks fantastic as well. As long as I keep those two white trucks FAR apart on the shelves... all will be cool. heh.

Great to get some BW vehicle bots to flesh out that lineup/shelf. (I know people say they are different universes, but hey... it's my shelves. I'll put them where I wanna.) >:oP

anyone know how orion pax scales next to Robot Masters lio convoy?

Comment by gothsaurus Jan 26, 2015
interesting though. Seems like they are close to the same height by my memory. Orion Pax was a painfully short deluxe. (yeah, I said deluxe) Like Trailbreaker/Hoist, I could have had that guy a head taller. Sigh.

Probably had to be small to fit in for transformation.

Looks kinda cool, looking forward to the Nova Prime version too strangely enough. I know it's too small to really be and IDW Nova Prime, but the mockups looked pretty cool.
