    The Orion Pax mold would look really great as Minimus Ambus. Really great. Then they could even repaint him and release him as Dominus Ambus for TFSS or something.

    I agree with you guys. Kudos to those who are on board and having a good time... but these do nothing for me. :( 

    Maybe some of the other reveals will peak my interest (like TFSS 3.0). I'd still be willing to re-sub to the club IF something else came along with a little more WOW.

    2 white repaints of the same mold? Looks like I'm sitting this year out.

    Man 2015 is full of the odd assortment of characters isn't it.

    I like the idea for Lio Convoy, not really sure how I feel about this idea though. Kind of wish they had gone with Big Convoy like someone suggested earlier.

    If Funpub is gonna milk that mold, might as well do Kup, Ratchet, Ironhide, Minimus, and Xaaron.

    Are there any third party add ons foe that mold yet? It could make a good voyager sized Nova Prime without a tiny semi-truck.

    Nope... Don't need a Nova Prime... I have this, and it's perfect.
    [​IMG]

    It's times like this when I HATE being a TCC/Botcon toys completist. I was really hoping this would be a big joke, but it appears otherwise. It is pretty stupid to have the EXACT same molds with the EXACT same primary colorscheme as "companion pieces." Were there bits of remolding done, or a kick-ass newly sculpted accessory piece that the club was magically able to pull off, then I'd be all over this... But it's lazy, and I know that I'm doing nothing short of tossing my money in the garbage... And I'm sure it'll be $60 at that.

    THAT being said, I hope they write these characters as their "pre-Prime" counterparts. Lio Convoy was a kick-ass reveal... This is... No.

    Well, this is odd. Not sure how I feel about this yet. The head mold is going to be tiny due to lack of space available when changing to alt mode.

    I agree with HeatGuy, using this mold for Xaaron would have worked here.

    I'll be the odd one and say I like this one more than the Lio Convoy one. That said I'm not a club member and won't be getting either, but if I were to ever have a choice of buying one of them sometime in the future I'd pick Nova Prime.

    That pic of the MakeToys Nova reminded me...where are the orange highlights?

    Left off for looking too much like Lio? Seems a bit unfair.
