The club is pretty cool and all, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it for non-americans unless you really want to own the figures and read the fiction. Or if you attend Botcon every year.
I joined this year right past the deadline, so I had to wait for the 2009 one, but I have to admit this looks very awesome. I thought it was going to be a new remolded head for the deluxe robot, not the combiner itself, so this is somewhat of a surprise to me.
Looks good. Nothing really surprising about him so far. The combined mode head is what I'm waiting for. I am thinking it's odd to have a red a-bot and red d-con symbol on him. Now that the whole SG universe exists I think if they all had red faction symbols it would make a bit more sense. They couldn't do much about the molded symbols and I doubt the SG universe was even in the planning stages when they first planned the exclusives but it could work retroactively Side note: His feet seem to be TF'd wrong to me but it works As far as I can guess he won't be ALL translucent since none of the other limbs have been. The last one I got, Topspin, had the least amount of clear parts of the 4.
I think he's a good guy, shattered glass decepticon and hasn't combined in that universe so really in the normal universe, he'll be an autobot
Excuse the stupid question, I just joined the club last week. Are these completely new figures or redecos? EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. Transformers Energon. I'm good. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Looks good to me. It will be one of those rare occasions like Animated Shockwave to feature logos from both factions. However, the deco is a little different form the art we saw in the shattered Glass comic here: Image:Shatteredglassmegatrondecepticons.jpg - Transformers Wiki - Teletraan I The biggest advantage this toy will have is the new combiner head. I suspect that they will sell this toy individually for more money than the other combiner limbs.
Pretty nice-looking, and awesome name, too. Also like the two faction symbols-- I guess it's 100% confirmed that the Club comic will take place in the Shattered Glass universe starting next issue, then.
Let's just hope this guy does not run into the delays like the last figure did...would be nice to get him ontime and get that combiner built....been waiting to see what the guy will look like all together...
you know maybe he has the "shattered glass" symbol BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO CHEAP TO GIVE HIM A NEW SYMBOL!, dumba**es, they did the same thing with botcon rhinox because his was engraved, but i didnt have the Energon version of him so i dont know the toy, sorry bout that but some people gotta use common sense
Start with yourself. Yeah, real cheap asses here. First, it's a deluxe (previous years were basics). Second, it has a remolded combiner head. Third, it ties into the other club fiction - unless you really think they did all of BotCon 2008 just to keep from molding a different faction symbol for the club freebie.
