Topspin is the next Club Figure - Animated toys delayed till June

BTW, the club magazine also mentions the next free figure for club membership. The figure's name is Topspin and appears to be a helicopter mold. I'm basing this off the pictures of him from the front page of Master Collector and the inside front cover of the TF collectors club magazine.

Kenucme, was there any news in the club mag about upcoming toys or anything? I thought Pete said we'd be seeing pics of Allspark Power toys that we hadn't seen yet... (And if there is, you should probably start a new thread about that so that other people can know...)

Sounds cool to me. Then again, the more helicopter TF's I see, the more I like them. The only thing I don't like about the past couple free figure's I've seen for this combiner thing, is the odd looking clear red and clear blue colorscheme. Here's hoping that it doesn't take long for things to be finalized enough for at least the date to be anounced.

I don't think it's much of a surprise, but it is good to have some more concrete info. As was somewhat expected, all the combiner molds are from Superion and Bruticus after all, no Const-Max mixed in.

Topspin but no Twin Twist?

Dude. I like you, but you should know what the response from the other board members are gonna be in reply to that post

They should have repainted Demolishor as a Giant Planet Twin Twist back during Cybertron. Those guns look like drills!

There were a few pics in there. The article containing them was an interview with Mike Ballog, Hasbro's brand manager for the Transformers line.

There were 6 pictures total. Two sets showed the robot and alt modes of Landmine (S7 dune buggy) and Incinerator (double-prop helicopter). We've pretty well seen these already.

The other two pics were of a Bumblebee redeco from the Concept Camaro mold. The alt mode basically has the colors reversed, black where he was yellow, and yellow stripes where it was black. More importantly, the robot mode has the head retooled to have the armor mask. It looks pretty cool.

I don't know if the Bumblebee has been seen already. But without being able to scan pics to post, I don't think I could really start a new thread that was worthy.

BTW, Mike Ballog mentioned that the Animated figures would not be released until late June with a full line by August.

Holy crap. That's the Stealth Battle Bumblebee that was mentioned a while ago, and it is going to use the Concept mold after all, which I kept swearing would make no sense. How insane when we've got Cliffjumper too, but a new head mold definitely helps.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to hunt down some crows.
