    Only one I'm interested in is Scourge. But I'm not paying an entire subscription price just to get one figure.

    I'm trying very hard not to want that Breakdown.

    Which considering that I have RotF Brakedown and plan to get FP's Breakdown and, while I like the character fine, I'm not in love with him, means that the TFCC has clearly gotten something very solid here, to my eyes.

    For some reason, even though the head doesn't look like the animation/comic model (and I don't care about it being based on the original toy head) it is just a freaking beautiful head to me.

    I'm actually more excited for Circuit than Scourge or Breakdown. I can't wait to see what the head sculpt will be on Circuit.

    I actually like the Circuit deco. Crazy randomness going on, but it's eyecatching, for me. I can always stick him in my G1.5/G2 shelf.

    Scourge looks great in vehicle mode and Breakdown looks solid. I forget what Jackpot looks like so hopefully a pic of him shows up eventually; instead of however it's supposed to look I keep picturing Botcon Animated Dead End instead.

    I actually really like Circut. The colors of him in the magazine just really popped.

    that sucks. I thought maybe subscription meant preorder the figures way ahead of time to give FP a good count on how many to make.

    I was wondering about that too. Plain white looks cheap. Off white looks classy.

    The only subscription figure I was even somewhat interested in was Breakdown and now, with the other FP releasing a set of combining Stunticons, I don't need this one. I'll pass on the subscription and, fortunately, won't have to do any more business with FunPub for the foreseeable future.

    Getting tempted, I guess it all boils down to How much are they going to try and rob from our wallets

    Not to me. Plain white looks like an actual car color. Off white looks like a toy car color.

    I'm annoyed that they don't have pricing information yet. You have to have a budget before you make a factory order, so they should have a ballpark number for us by now. Also, it's kind of poor timing that this hits after MattyCollector subscriptions have locked up alot of collector dollars.

    The breakdown figure is a huge dissapointment for me. I love the mold, but I want a breakdown that actually combines. Sorry TFCC, my money going to FP where toys actually make sense and combine like the originals did. But nice try! Bring on Mammoth!!!

    TBH I'd only be interested in the Scourge figure... and eventual Maketoys Black Tanker repaint.

    Brakedown's alright... but I'd rather wait for a certain other interpretation to come out. I've got the Sun/Swipe twins already, and not interested in more repaints.

    The Axor/Lockdown repaint's... eh... IDK. I prefer Lockdown's deco better than any of his repaints...

    Slipstream seems like an interesting concept... but that'll depend on the headsculpt and whether they retool her a bit. Granted, wouldn't take much to retool FE Prime Scream to be more effeminate... but still, would need a little work I suppose.

    Would be nice to know what the subscription price would be by now... definitely.

    The Sun/Swipe mold is the ideal mold, as Brakedown was originally a Lambourghini like the twins were. Thing is though... yea... he's not a combiner. Kind of why folks aren't fond of the idea of *any* combiner being repainted/retooled at all... since they'll pretty much lack the combiner aspect altogether.
