Whats up with the allspark these days? The entire "gallery" of images failed to load. The thumbnails there flashed up briefly and then disappeared, with no links to click on. Someone hacked it again? Anyway, could someone post some direct links to the pics at allspark or mirror them please? cheers!
Well Skyfall is from AEC. Not sure about Landquake, I think the same. Topspin is from the Transtech universe, Breakaway from classics (g1 comic continued I think) and Heatwave from Shattered Glass. You should check out the TFwiki on em. I'm digging the story personally. And I'd love the next club figure to be Sunstorm. Hell if its anything that can fit with classics/universe I'll buy it. I'm such a whore for that line.
His head reminds me of a combination of Piranacon and Beast Wars Quickstrike. For those not sure about the limbs check this picture out: Notice that the head in the carving is different from the actual toy. Image taken from Skyfall (Cybertron) - Transformers Wiki - Teletraan I
After 5 years as a UK member of the club I don't expect to be renewing next year. I didn't bother with the Botcon non-attendance package this year and unless the club exclusive is exceptional next year, I don't see the point in renewing. To be honest I'm a bit bored of the translucent, vibrant red & blue colour scheme of this combiner and the new combiner head doesn't fill me with any excitement. Four years to complete a combiner is also a bit drawn out and I've just lost interest particularly as the only remolding we ended up with was the combiner head! Ferret
Can't wait! Now I'm off to buy the limbs! Putting the Bruticus limbs as the arm configuration, to heck with official crap. Added to personal canon.
Those are the universes they ended up in, but they all started off in one Universe how ever many years ago. My understanding is actually that they are a Universal Singularity so there are no other versions of them mucking about in the Multiverse. Also not entirely sure, but from how I read the comics and bios, it seemed to suggest the Gestalt was the true core personality and the five seperated bots were splintered aspects of that personality. I could be wrong, but that's what I've gotten out of it.
That visor is no more a mouth then the one on cybertron sideways. The yellow "eyes" are raised, how many energon cybertron classics type transformers do you know that have raised eyes? They also seem to long to be eyes in my opionion. I am thinking that the head is suffering from power rangers helmet syndrome.
Whether they are too long or not, they are his eyes. There isn't a visor he has an actual mouth like Cybertron Prime.
you know what i can see the lips now...I thought pepole were saying that the whole black part was a open mouth. looks like i was wrong in my assumption. The eyes still seem a lil strange.
Yeah, that's what I thought too. Knowing it's NOT an open mouth makes things a little better, but not by much.
OK, so now that Average-Combiner-Tron is done with, can the Club PLEASE give us a self-contained exclusive each year? I missed last year's subscription, so I have to try and find last year's exclusive or have an incomplete combiner (which is of course useless to me). IMO it would be an infinitely better idea to have one figure a year that didn't rely on the next few years for its gimmick.
No, we have, and we've had our laugh. We had our laugh the other 2 times you posted this. But see, we're mature. We want to talk about the toy, not the sex toy with the same name. If you want an 8-page penis joke, go over to 4chan. But we're trying to discuss this like adults. Now, I wouldn't mind a Animated Prowl w/sidecar as Bludgeon.
Yes, a nice solo figure would be nice! The only reason I joined the club was cause my wife signed me up for my birthday last year (since we were going to Botcon this year). I never liked the idea of waiting 5 years to finish a figure. But, now that I have the main guy, I need his limbs LOL
I see nothing wrong with him.... yeah ok this new head does not fit the body shape at all and he face just looks a bit silly with that chin
Nice, I rather like it. Looking forward to having the final piece and the complete combiner. However, FansPub is going to have to come up with something really good to justify me renewing to join the Club next year. I like the Energon combiners, but I'm not investing in another $200 figure that will take 5 years to complete, the Club magazine isn't that interesting and I don't go to BotCon, so the appeal of the Club to me is limited. It's just one more expense that I can't justify any more.
Gahhh, he really needs at least some replacement gundam hands. You'd think the TFCC would catch something like other products named "Nexus Maximus"... Unless it's a metaphor for the combined personality being a huge dick. Has any one else gotten theirs yet???
