    Oh damn. That looks smokin'. I hope they dropped the grey on the robot mode though, black or red robot bits would look so much nicer.

    Given that the T-shirt art shows the grey, I think that's unlikely.

    I'm fine with that too, myself - black would make him too monochromatic, and red would be a red overload - then the windows AND body would be red.

    Alt mode looks nice, but with the detailing it reminds me more of Alternators Dead End than Runabout

    still debating on whether I should get these. What's the final price going to look like after you've aquired both? Are we talking over or under 100?

    for Runabout and SG Drift? most likely, after shipping, you're looking at around 120 in the US... including your membership (which gets you Runamuck for free) then you're looking at around 160...

    When I first heard the Club was going to make the Muck-twins I had the same thoughts. The Bee robot mode would have been nicer but the vehicle mode would have been worse. After seeing the the teasers and now these samples I really think TFCC made the right choice in using the Wheeljack mold.

    I think both Runabout and Runamuck are sick. This is the first club exclusive I'll be getting. I think that as of late the TFCC exclusives have been MUCH better than the Botcon releases, especially this year.

    Not yet, though I think they've confirmed they'll be under 60 bucks.

    I'm gonna guess 55-56 for the exclusives, myself. The Battlechargers don't have huge amounts of paint apps, but they have new heads, and odds are the mold cost will be included in Runabout's price.

    Drift meanwhile has no new parts, BUT he does have the swords and guns. That'll raise the price slightly, plus I think he has fancier/more paint apps, so I figure they'll both be about the same price.

    Definately getting both of the Runa toys, but I just don't see SG Drift in my budget right now with everything else on my to-buy list. If there are any of it left in a few months, I may jump back on the boat.
