While I have no love whatsoever for Thunderwing as a combined mode and not a separate character, they really have done a nice job with the individual robots and Impactor.

The more I see of these guys the more I like them. Sure the fact that the MAS combines together is out there, but I like it. Makes for a nice nod to the Wreckers doing the same in the FoC (sub)toyline in Generations.

One thing I'd really wish for the 2017 TFSS figures is more Autobots. Decepticons are cool and all, and Hasbro does put out more good guys in stores than bad guys, but there's gotta be a couple obscure Autobot characters - like what they did with Carzap this year - that the Club can put out in the TFSS eventually? Maybe?

Bludgeon's face seems to lack detail, but that's probably because the prototype paintwork is too heavy. The glare on the glass isn't helping, either.

My question: is he missing a wheel?

It does in fact look like he's missing a wheel lol and the face does look a bit off but that's due to what you mentioned as well as it being a low res mockup to begin with.

Damn wow. The Impactor pics are the best promotions for MMC Spartan I've ever seen. Sold on Spartan. Thanks TFCC.

For such early work, i like the looks.
Disappointed about the size class of Impactor; hopefully the deco and concept work somewhat makes up for it.

Comment by DeadCaL Oct 5, 2015

The fan club dude kept specifying the heads were low res 3D prints, and not as detailed as the final product. Also I think he said those 2 in the cabinet were painted up quickly to show them off.

So FSS 4.0's first shipment, probably coming up soon I'd expect? Or will it be held until after Botcon? I'm personally not bothered either way, just curious.

Comment by TF_JW Feb 3, 2016

I can't really say (ie I don't personally know).

All I can suggest is looking at previous years for precedence, in so far as the relation of the start of the FSS and when BotCon takes place.

i had already emailed funpub to make sure i didn't miss the second installment payment and as part of the answer they said there isn't a definite date for arrival of the first shipment but they hoped within the next couple of months

Second payment is NEVER before the first toy has at least arrived.

So... when will the first toy ship out? Any ETA on that? :???:

Seems like there was an announcement last week or so, saying that it would be in April (which, realistically, would probably mean after BotCon).

Comment by TF_JW Feb 19, 2016

Like G.B. says, the current issue of the Club Mag gives an estimate of April.

A more precise estimate will no doubt be made as that draws nearer.

Thanks. I usually skim the magazine.

Ugh, cannot wait for these guys! *Stalks mailbox* :lol:

ok, so as per usual I am way late on this. There doesn't appear to be any way on TFCC at this time to sign up. -Bottom line- I would like to get these toys if possible. I guess my only options are to see if anyone sells any on eBay?

Also-- I assume since these figures come bagged separately, there will be no special release (i.e. Giftbox packaging? )

Pretty much, yes. The Subscription period ended quite a few months ago. Expect a subscription period for TFSS 5.0 to begin in a month or so (but you do have to already be a member of TCC to do that. The period to sign up for that ended a couple of weeks ago, after a pretty massive publicity campaign).

Also-- I assume since these figures come bagged separately, there will be no special release (i.e. Giftbox packaging? )

As it has always been for club subscription services, yes. The only time a special box for a set is created is when all toys are sold (and shipped) together, and not always even then.

Comment by Decepticon619 Apr 26, 2016

I'm a first timer for TFCC, so not sure if this is a silly question, but does anyone have any speculation as to who might be the first installment alongside Ramjet? I'm also curious, they sent out an email saying they expected to receive and start shipping out last week, do they normally sent an email out with tracking numbers or a shipping confirmation at least?

Re: TFSS 4.0 Bludgeon and Impactor Displayed At Roll Out Roll Call (view post)

Comment by TF_JW Apr 26, 2016

Ramjet has been "delayed" (Well, technically the usual shipping estimate of Early Summer is still in place) so he won't be shipping alongside TFSS 4.0 Month #1.

As for tracking numbers, some fans report receiving them while others have the figures show up at their doors without an email. So keep a watchful eye out!
