    Wish he'd gotten a new head, but it's pretty good. Mold choice looks amazing though. Can't go wrong with using it again.

    Hoping for a Gutcruncher for the Hasbro main line. Crossing fingers.

    Come on Hasbro. It's a green tank. No brainer. Kids will buy that.

    He looks rad. It's hilarious in hindsight since people thought BotCon SG Treadshot would have been out of this mold.

    It works ok but I'd rather have Gutcruncher or Treads.

    Wasn't that one of the Botcon exclusives in 2006? I'm pretty sure it was.

    Edit: Yep. http://www.tfu.info/2006/Predacon/BCWaspinator/waspinator.htm

    New head would've sold me on this one; Treadshot was my favorite Action Master (though I never owned one, oddly enough). Pass for now, unless I can get one "cheap."

    I think the formula for TFCC FSS is thus:
    Action Master: First run gave us Circuit, this time we get Treadshot
    Combiner: First run gave us Breakdown in non Combiner form, this year we get Ironfist, part of a Combiner
    Questionable Placement due to use of Prime Mold: First run gave us Slipstream who could sorta be used in a classics or Prime shelf, this year we get Chromedome

    RID: First run gave us Scourge, nothing revealed thus far for this year
    Animated: First run gave us Jackpot, nothing revealed yet this year
    Beast Era: first run gave us Ultra Magnus, nothing revealed this year

    also we haven't seen who's gonna be the voyager or ultra yet

    It was because TFCC were going to make Doubledealer out of the Blitzwing mold as well. Waspinator would be totally different.

    Wait a bit more. The club still have three figures to reveal.

    By now, Chromedome is in the maybe list. If I like the other three I'll got the subscription; 3.5 of 6 is a good enough number.

    Yeah! If they do an Animated toy I need to buy it :D  If it was the only toy from TFSS 2.0 that I like, I would buy it alone from BBTS or other online reseller.

    Honestly, I'd be happy for the remaining ones if they cranked out the background characters from the Botcon comic. Hauler, Redwing, and Clamp Down.

    Other cool ideas I had (that haven't already been discussed to death like Detritus, RID X-Brawn or Animated Wasp, etc.) FOC Grim as G2 Grimlock... or Shattered Glass classics characters from the new wave of Generations. SG Springer, Trailbreaker, or Hoist. (maybe in Diaclone deco)

    All that said, I'd still REAAAAALY love a Machine Wars Prowl and a Skid-Z out of that Mirage mold while it's still handy.

    Well... Protoform X, Transmutate, Treadshot, and the announced Chrome Dome aren't of interest to me... so definitely not going the sub route this year.

    It would also be one of the few ways an Animated toy will fit in with Classics.
