For those collectors waiting on a bit of news on the status of the Transformers Subscription Service 2.0 offered by the Transformers Collector’s Club, we have something for you! In an unexpected way, it appears some figures from the Subscription Service, as well as BotCon and the TCC Exclusive figure have been shown off a little earlier than expected.
Courtesy of in hand images from what appears to be a factory leak, we have our first look at the TFSS 2.0 figures Ironfist and Barricade, along with their assembled Micron partners. Also shown are our first images of the TCC Exclusive figure Transmutate in its motorcycle alternate mode. Wrapping up the surprise is an alt mode picture of one of BotCon’s box set figures this year: Cannonball.
The good news is with this update we might be able to assume the TFSS figures are closer to being ready to be shipped out to fans. The bad news is, the surprise may have been ruined!
Check out the images after the jump.

I didn't get that email either. When something was sent out previously and they said it had been emailed to everyone, I had to check my messages through the Subscription website.

I checked my account and on July 4th an email apparently went out (I didn't get it) that said there was a problem and we would get charged mon or tues.

I've been wondering the same thing. At first I figured they were taking an early break for the Fourth.

Has anyone been billed payment # 2 for the TFSS 2.0 Figures?
the website said they would charge credit cards july 2nd and i have not gotten any notice of my card being charged….

All the club has reguarding next year's toys at this point are photoshopped pictures of the paint job.

Any word or "leaked" samples floating around for next years Club figure???

He looks good… but I still wish they has used the LSOTW colors..

I would actually prefer the Prid mold for Transmutate. I am not a fan of the Fe mold to be honest. I do like Barricade.

Just talked to my friend in China (TFW2005 member Jigga), who has seen the leaked toys for sale. He confirms he saw Transmutate in person, but doesn't recall which mold. He is going to check again in a couple days and confirm which version of Arcee it is. This won't confirm anything as far as what Funpub is shipping themselves. But it will give an idea if there are versions using the PRiD mold, on the "aftermarket".

Interesting, so the plot thickens… maybe it is just a custom?

Whatever they do, you can count on it being fucked up.

Actually, since we now know that the toys have already been made (assuming that these aren't fakes, of course), I'm hoping that they don't do preorders at all. They should just be orders.

Maybe we'll find out soon enough when we get that news we're supposed to be getting about the preorders for Transmutate sometime this week… In a day… Or a month.

I feel the FE mold fits Transmutate better.
Lumpy
I would prefer the FE as well, but i'm sure if we did a poll it'd be pretty even.
however, if these colors are true, and Transmutate is gold, then i'm not buying her anytime soon.
and i can't even claim noticing the difference, Jacer sent me a text about it last night…
Matty
I'm surprised it took us this long to notice the different Arcee molds … huh.
I don't think I have a preference to be honest. Neither of the molds are anything to praise, but I feel like I get a little more bang for my buck with the FE mold.
Paging Pete, paging Pete … what's the deal mister?
Cast
I got to admit I will probably skip transmutate if she is the prid tooling as I already have that as the FE would have made it worth while getting simply for the sake of not owning that mold.
