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

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

In Transformers news, the first pictures of two new Japanese (for now) releases appeared. First, we have a redeco/remold of Masterpiece Soundwave as Masterpiece Soundblaster. We all knew this was coming. Supposedly, he can hold three tapes in his chest, and he comes with a new tape – Ratbat. Hard to say if this will see American shores. Hasbro has shown they’re willing to release multiple versions of Masterpiece toys, and it’s not like Soundblaster is foreign to our country anymore (see the Fall of Cybertron release). Will it be released here with Ratbat at a lower price than Masterpiece Soundwave?
