We all knew this was coming, and Chromedome was probably the most anticipated figure, so it makes sense the Transformers Club would reveal his figure last. I really love the look of Chromedome’s deco on Wheeljack’s body. It’s a fantastic recreation of the G1 character, and yeah, the robot does the same fakery with the chest panel, but it still looks great. Except for that CG head. It just looks out of place, right now, and we’ll have to wait to see production samples. It looks like it’ll be good, but there’s something a bit… off about it, with it not being

Hot off the comic reveal of Thrustinator yesterday, the Transformers Club revealed the full figure mock-up of this fusion of Waspinator and Thrust, as well as the 3D design of the new head: In the blurb on their website, the TCC said that Waspinator got a new body after the events of “Beast Machines”, but he has to share it with Thrust. This new merged “Thrustinator” has planzz which we will see very soon. I can’t wait. This is so odd, bizarre, and unexpected that I love it. If it weren’t for the fact that it uses Dirgegun’s mold, I’d say

Today, the Transformers Club revealed the final pages of the FSS2.0 Preview comic, and you can read them via this link: http://transformersclub.com/TCC_FSS2.cfm In this comic, we see more doings of Heinrad and Rhinox in Axiom Nexus, spying on a new uncatalogued reality that seems to be changing and picking up bits and pieces of other realities all the time. In it we see Chromedome, Stylor, Rewind, and Treadshot, in addition to the previously seen Barricade and Fisitron. So that’s the five known characters… but who’s the sixth? It’s Thrustinator, a post-“Beast Machines” Waspinator/Thrust, apparently. At first I thought, “How the heck

FSS2.0 Week continues for the Transformers Club. On Tuesday, they released a 3D rendering of Rewind’s new head: Looking good with the camera, there! I’m still jazzed about this toy. Then, last night, they uploaded 2 pages of the 7-page FSS preview comic to the TCC’s Facebook page. Page 1 Page 2 In it, we see Rhinox and Heinrad viewing a timestream in which Fisitron and Barricade are having a… disagreement about certain crimes Fisitron may or may not have committed. In it, we also see a reference to “Oil Slick”, who may be another FSS character, or may be
