The official Transformers Collector’s Club has revealed artwork for next year’s membership incentive figure, Depthcharge. This figure is a repaint of Hunt for the Decepticons Terradive, and will be sent to you if you have an active membership prior to March 16, 2013.
This “freebie” was announced recently at this year’s Botcon. The Club will also be rolling out a new figure subscription service later this year: the Transformers Figure Subscription Service. There are currently six figures planned for release.

He will be part of the upcoming subscription service, and the #1 want on my list!

This Ultra Mammoth is going to be mass release or is another exclusive figure? They are using the mold of Big convoy right?
Kaijumaster
yep this is the 2013 freebie.

That actually looks pretty awesome… I may have to go through with signing up for this; I've talked about signing up before, but never gotten around to it… Depthcharge may change that…

I have Terradive, a great figure! Can't wait till this comes out! So do we get this for FREE?

A Depthcharge mass release repaint from Energon Sharkticon would be nice. However pitchfork wielding Terradive repaint seem to be better, but rather scrawny looking. Hopefully they use the tighter hip joints version.
Lumpy
that's an idea, but i can only imagine the nightmare that would be on their end… i guess it's possible they could make 2 options to choose from, but then what if you wanted both figures?
just curious, but which figure would you choose? excluding Ultra Mammoth, because only deluxes seem to be eligible for free figures.

If only we were allowed to choose our free fig…
Lumpy
there's probably hundreds of ideas, and that's what they went with… i kinda think Scourge should've been the free figure, that'd get more people excited and ready to join, but maybe there was something prohibiting that. and there's still the speculation that subscribers might get an additional "free" bonus figure.

Is there really no other figures to be issue other than the Depthcharge for the Incentive Figure,what the……

The first time I opened Menasor, I thought he looked like a lobster and would looked great as Rampage. Those crab feelers whatever you call those, are even present on Menasors chest. Anyway it's an idea for you customizers out there. I'd make one myself but I lack the equipment, an extra Menasor and time.
He would look great towering over Dephcharge in that art work.

They were going to do Hot Spot a couple years back, but it turned out the mold wasn't able to be used anymore…
Lumpy
god, i hope so… i love that Hot Spot…
while that sounds totally fun, it's way beyond the scope of what FP can realistically do.
Cast
I never really considered that a factor, looking at deapthcharge i'd say he's a pretty real world jet, going back to fp's other pre bw set rhinox and waspinotor were both earth alt modes, so was megatron actually and an argument could be made either way for cheetor so I never saw that as a limitation.
Primus Medieval
Pre-Beast Wars Rampage? Try cybertron Menasor equipped with opening chest to reveal his twisted spark (additional $5 charge), new paint (chrome version also available limited to 500), a new head, gutted electronics, and maybe a retooled hand.
Watch this menacing robot transform into a crabby looking tank of destruction, as he holds a minicon hostage/snack (limited to 1500) and terrorize! Also for the first 100 attendee, a free BW Ducky for your Megatron (Ducky do not transform).

I can't picture Rampage from deluxe Unicron., I'll have to see a digibash
NCStarscream
Okay, that's pretty awesome.

Can FP go back and do that Hot Spot repaint of RID Optimus Prime or is that off the table?

I'd love to get Cybertron Unicron repainted as Rampage. I think it's a very underrated mold, and would suit him quite well.
As for Depth Charge, this guy looks really awesome. I'm hoping to get him, and add him to my (not very G1-accurate) Wreckers (which, although they include many of the official Wreckers, is going to sort of be a team of some of my most bad@$$ Autobots).
