Waspy Has Plannz – Apparently A Double Date With Thrust
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
Continue readingFSS Updates from the Transformers Club
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
Continue readingTFSS 2.0 Week full of reveals
For Immediate Release… This week, the Transformers Collectors’ Club has a full schedule of reveals, all leading up to the start of the subscription period for the Transformers Figure Subscription Service 2.0 (TFSS 2.0). Today, we are thrilled to announce that THREE of the TFSS 2.0 figures will come with an ADDITIONAL Micron accessory figure, which have previously only been available through the Arms Micron Transformers toy line! The three EXCLUSIVE Micron figures will be FRENZY, STYLOR and CATGUT. STYLOR and CATGUT will be partnered with their Generation 1 counterparts and FRENZY will once again be teamed with the original

…and the rest of us weep bitter tears, each tear filled with our hopes and dreams. THANKS JAMES. Anyway, the next figure to be unveiled by the Transformers Club is… Rewind! I love this figure. I’m especially happy that it’s a mold that was released only in Japan. I never got the tape-tank twins, so I’m eager to get my hands on this one. The deco is fantastic, the new head sculpt with the camera lens is awesome. Yeah, the alt-mode doesn’t fit with what we saw in the More than Meets the Eye comic; I’m willing to overlook it cause the
Continue readingThe Latest Transformers Club Figure Reveal Is Fisitron
Also known as Ironfist, Fisitron is a redeco of Wreckers Roadbuster, who in turn was a remold of Fall of Cybertron Swindle. This particular version of Fisitron hails from the Wings Universe, where he wasn’t a member of the Wreckers team. Instead, he was part of Metalhawk’s Elite Guard team, where he went toe-to-toe with the Combaticons multiple times. So, what do you think? It’s a good update from his original G1 toy, keeping the same general color scheme. It’s kind of weird they went with the Elite Guard symbol as opposed to the Wreckers symbol, especially since 1) they
Continue readingThe Transformers Club Reveals New Barricade Figure
Based on the Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Prowl mode, Barricade is an upcoming figure from the Transformers Club, as revealed via Twitter in a game of 20 25 Some Number of Questions. It’s an interesting choice for the mold – it hasn’t even appeared on many pegs yet. The police car mode looks great. and the robot mode is pretty good, except I do hope that purple is a bit more subdued in the final figure. If you weren’t on Twitter for the reveal, here it is.
Continue readingToy Review – Transformers Club Scourge
The original SCOURGE from the “Robots in Disguise” line was released in 2002 (or 2000, if you count the Japanese version), itself a redeco of the Laser Optimus Prime toy initially released in 1995. This means one thing: I’m old. No, seriously, it means that this character has been around for over a decade, spawning numerous versions of the black and silver evil Optimus Prime entity in multiple toylines and continuities. When Hasbro released a new version of Laser Optimus a few years ago, we knew a Scourge would happen sooner or later. Surprisingly, it was the Transformers Club, not

In a follow up to last week’s announcements, the Transformers Club (@The_TF_Club) updated us with some new pictures and information about their upcoming FSS 2 line. First, they tweeted out information about the three already-announced figures: Treadshot using the Generation Warpath mold — The Former TCC (@The_TF_Club) August 15, 2013 Chromedome from TF: Prime Wheeljack — The Former TCC (@The_TF_Club) August 15, 2013 and Fisitron from Generation Roadbuster — The Former TCC (@The_TF_Club) August 15, 2013 Then they confirmed that Chromedome will have a new head: @bamf226 Chromdome will have a new head sculpt. We have never done all orginal sculpts, head
