TCC Subscription Service Jackpot Head Turnaround

too bad. That would like nice on RTS Jazz mold. Dont have no desire for animated..

There's something about that head I like a lot, even more so than the original head mold. It flows very well and fits nicely with the mold.

That's a rad little headsculpt.

It's a nice headsculpt but so close to jazz's it seams like a waist of a slot

This.

glad TFCC cleared that up, the small picture really did look like the same Jazz head.
so that's 2.5 new heads.

Not really. Looking at the other sub figures with default heads, Ultra Mammoth, Circuit, and Scourge didn't really need them.

And TFA is all about the shared body types with various deco/head/design tweaks.

Fucking beautiful.

Looks pretty cool to me

WANT!!!

OMG, So want!!

You guys might want to hit that preorder on BBTS fast before the price jumps up then. Already secured mine.

Probably a good idea. It's a reasonable price for an exclusive, definitely and I always want to support Animated. Done.

Nice headsculpt.

Haha! I knew he had a new head!

More and more I'm feeling happy that I decided to pull the trigger on the whole service.

Nice headsculpt. I have to say I want jackpot more now.

Nice head but I don't collect animated unfortunately. Not upset but had that been classics I'd have bought.

I think I'll definitely keep Jackpot now.

wow, that looks pretty good. kinda more excited to get him now...

Ok so i'm confused now, who gets a new head out of the 6 figures?

Ultra Mammoth - No
Scourge - No
Breakdown - Yes
Jackpot - yes (according to this post)
Circuit - No
Slipstream - yes ?

Breakdown uses his BotCon 2010 G2 head sculpt

Slipstream and Jackpot have all-new heads. Breakdown has a reuse of his Botcon head.

Wonder what it would look like on the RTS mold

Yeah. Potty and Slippy got the new heads.

Breakdowns head is not really new. It is a Fun Pub head though. Used for Botcon classics G2 Breakdown in the boxset for Botcon 2010.

Have to ask then, out of abject curiosity - how long do the Botcon head molds last before degradation sets in?

Or is this a new tooling of the head mold based off that same original 2010 sculpt?

Really glad I was wrong about that being Jazz's head!

so torn on joining this. Black Convoy looks amazing, Ultra Mammoth is cool, and Breakdown is 'ok', but Circuit is gross (that deco could induce blindness and i hate that head), Animated is garbage and i really don't like the Prime Starscream design. (although, ironically, it works better for a female character...)

I might have to pick up a Jackpot with that head. Looks kinda cool. We'll see.

I find myself trying to imagine that head on the CHUG Jazz body.

The heads last just as long as any other head done by Takara... I know there was some back in forth about that years ago, how long they actually lasted, but that is actually the deal.

Would that be based on units produced or the number of runs it's gone through?

So bought.

Cool I'll have to order one on ebay when they come out

This was one of the molds I was most excited about. I know a lot of people can't stand "mixing aesthetics", but the Jazz mold is SO nice, and there's nothing about that car mode that couldn't be a real (concept at least) car. The sculpt is certainly "Animated style" but it's also a lot more squared off and traditional than many animated-sculpts, which when you take into account the softer more "cartoony" feel of the original Action Masters, makes this guy, for my money anyway, a fine "Main Collection" Jackpot.

Can't wait!
D/L

yeah, i'm wondering too, but we can clearly see the ball joint sticking out of this, whereas RTS Jazz has the ball joint in the middle of his head, i think... either way, i'm liking this toy more and more now.

BBTS has them for $39.99 right now... Probably less than what they'll go for on ebay when they're out.

Very nice.

Thats a joke right, they're like $40 on BBTS right now....

...could I just get the head cast? >_>

"Face it tiger....you just hit the Jackpot."

the line of the mouth going across the hard edge of one side of the face is a little strange, but not bad at all. The design is pretty similar to Jazz that it reminds me of the SG "new Blurr head on Blurr"

Interesting to see how many the people who want to see that very-Animated-style head grafted onto the RTS Jazz mold in this thread.

I would have bought a Classic style Jackpot, but not interested in Animated.

This is getting me to actually consider getting the subscription though there's so much other stuff I'd rather get that I still probably won't sign up.

Wonder if demand will go up now...

... Looks at BBTS...

... nope. No it hasn't.

That...that looks an awful lot like Animated Jazz's normal head.
Jazz and Jackpot look enough alike anyway, so, I mean, good job on the sculpt and all, but that Big Convoy mold would've looked awesome with an updated head.

Yes! Nice headsculpt and I really like the smirk

Nice reveal, Pete!

It will look like a blocky toy with door wings and an amazing dynamic head.

And what of the other molds needs a new head?

Circuit is a homage to an Axor Repaint. So, it's a repaint of current Axor mold, no new head. Ultra Mammoth is a white repaint of Big Convoy... as many Ultra Magnus are white repaints of their line Primes. Scourge is a repaint of Optimus Prime, like now. And Breakdown have the Breakdown head.

So, new head to Slipstream and Jackpot.

Looks nice! Really torn as to get the sub serv or not.... :-/

It really makes me sad when I see that Animated, imo probably the best toy line Transformers has ever gotten not called Masterpiece, is so disliked. Such fantastic figures, all the way around and the more they make, the happier I am.

I just hope this may lead to future animated figs. A deluxe BB repaint as Wasp with a new head would be tops on my list. Followed by Voyager Thundercracker would be awesome.

Anyway Im gonna grab Jackpot for sure, the new head sold me.

Yes i originally just wanted Slipstream so i joined a group buy but thanks to the info from Pete@Botcon and everyone else here, i'm thinking i want Jackpot as well and breakdown is a good enough too and if i'm liking 50% of the figures, may as well get a sub?
