So Runamuk is the TFCC freebee (kinda) and "RUNABOUT" is the $60 dollar figure. If I understand correctly... hummm my membership isn't up until March. Wonder if I need to renew now?

 

So these go up Monday? Sweet...

 

Im going to call it "Not Runabout" like:
Not devastator
Not ratchet
Not ironhide

It sounds like this figure became a third party " Not Runabout"..
LoL

 

Looks great! I can't wait to pick the 2 up. A definite collection piece.

 

hahahahahahaha!!!

                     

 

Still no word on whether or not there will be a spot for Runamuck in the insert?

 

I don't care if his "official" name is "Farty VonFartenstein" - I just want one!  

 

This will be my first time joining the club. How long after orders go up do the club figures usually ship out? (Not the freebie figure, but Over Runabout.) And will my card be charged now or when it ships? Thanks for any info! Excited about these guys.

 

Any one have a MOC with previous ones? Would love to get these...

 

Blurr and Flak come to mind first.

 

Over-Run ?

Er no that's not Over Run - it's not like any Transformers called Over-Run.

Was it to much effort to call him something vaguely similar to Runabout ? Like say Redout or Rev-About ?

Or even Run-Over (which is the name of a Minicon)

 

Ran-over
Run-over
Roll-about 
Roll-around
Road-Run

 

I'll agree, I wish they'd have gone with something that starts with "Run." Runway, maybe? They've used that before. I guess Over-Run is the default name now whenever the preferred name is unavailable. "Runaway" would have been great. But as they say, trademark searches take time and money.

The real question is, can they call him Runabout in the club comic?

If the "Autobot" and "Decepticon" prefixes are used to make generic names usable, why did Hasbro use them on figures like Banzaitron and Seacons like Nautilator, Tentakil and Piranacon? These aren't even real words. Honestly curious to know if anyone knows the real answer here.

 

Exciting News

 

I see no prefixes on either of those names.

With only that information I have no idea what toys you're talking about. What was the toy that had a prefix and what was the toy that didn't have the prefix?

 

There was an Autobot Blurr(Animated), later in Generations it was just Blurr.

There was an Autobot Flak(forget which line), then later just Flak in DotM line.

 

These are regional differences. "Autobot Flak" was from that Ravage Infiltration 3-pack that was a UK exclusive. "Autobot Blurr" is from the Takara United version of Generations Blurr. But in the US, they were just Flak and Blurr.

 

Sexy. A must have!!!
