TFCC Subscription Service Ultra Mammoth Testshot

its cool but nemesis prime really was the perfect colour scheme for this design

it really truly was, but there is little lacking in this repaint.

Bot mode please!!!

Me, like it. Now show the bot mode
The only strange part is that darker blue diagonal line looks like the elephant has zipper for a pocket.

I dig the gradient effect, but the blue makes him look like he has a vascular/circulation problem.

Should have been all white in mammoth mode.

Like Pete said at BotCon, I think this was such an obvious and brilliant repaint I wonder why it hadn't been done sooner. This looks solid!

it really does. but every now and then obvious repaints pass us by, and we were onto Armada by the time Magnus got popular again after "War & Peace"

Think of it as a scar. They often heal up to be much darker-colored than the rest of the skin.

It had kind of, by fans. I remember seeing a Magnus Mammoth years ago around the same time people started painting B'boom as Rodimus.

He's got painted toe nails! How cute!

Pretty nice.

Blue snuffelluppagus!! Blue snuffelluppagus!! I WANT!!!

Yeah, white Magnus didn't become famous until DW War & Peace. Otherwise, we may have it sooner. For me, thanks to DW, now I have more Magnus than ever. That's the beauty of being a Prime repaint because Optimus usually has the best mold. If Ultra Mammoth is a successful and even though I'm not a beast war fan, but I hope TFCC/Ehobby/Hasbro/TTomy would repaint that 4 modes Transmetal Optimus Primal to Magnus.
Yeah, I guess, I can look it as a scar. Is that line just a design or part of the transformation. Hm, looks like I gotta search YouTube for that mold.

Nice, but not a Beast Wars fan/collector, so that'll be one more available from my sub for someone else.

I want to see Ultra Mammoth, Optimus Primal and a Leo Convoy. No not a Leo Prime, but the Beast Wars II figure. Thanks.

I'll save you the trouble, it's the trigger mechanism for his missile launching feature in robot mode. He has one on both sides.

And I have to agree with the assessment that the mammoth would've looked better in white. It would've made more sense anyway, as an albino mammoth is not too far fetched of an idea. A blue mammoth is just really silly looking.

Weird.

It's the trigger for one of the hip missile launchers.

I'm a sucker for that cool blue. Now I wanna see a Lio Convoy with a new headsculpt in Rodiums colors.

Thanks guys.

I admit this looks sweet as hell,but I am not paying craploads for a membership and however much for the actual figure just to get one.I rather spend my money on other stuff like MP Sideswipe that is sure to be more fun to own.Just my opinion.

This guy looks wicked cool! How 'bout some bot mode shots?

I want him, but I can't afford him. If I am getting any TFCC figure, it's Scourge.

This is probably the best repaint of all the figures... and I'd say has the most bang for your buck since it's an Ultra sized figure.

I've always liked Nemesis Prime better. One of my favorite transformers I own.

It's nice but I still prefer Blue Big Convoy and Black Big Convoy. a pure nemesis Colour scheme with no horrible mucky-tan-brown would be sexy though.

But like RTS Jazz it's a mould I'm happy to buy in as many colours as they wish to make it in.

if anyone is getting this subscription and doesnt want this figure let me know , ill buy or trade for it

Wow, that makes it easier not to buy it. I will just stick with my Big Convoy.

The subscription figures are just not doing it for me. Most are just repaints or minor retools. Would like to see something epic that REALLY makes me drool.

can anyone tell me how big is he... against a... regular deluxe CHUG?

Because of how much it costs to create the molds, do safety testing, pay engineers and design team... we won't ever see an original mold for a club exclusive. Best we can hope for is some great ideas and characters... and new head molds or minor resculpts are a big bonus.

Hey Catz. I don't have him in front of me, but he's pretty darn big, especially considering how small new figures are getting. He's at least Voyager size. Robot mode is massive, with nice detailing and an opening chest with matrix. In spite of being mostly a shell-former, he was really one of the highlights of the beast era. Great head sculpt with moving antenna, accessories, heavily armed, launching missiles, etc. Considering how Ultra Magnus was a parts-former, we can overlook all the kibble and shellformering, right? Robot mode makes up for it all. Heh.

Why can't the diagonal by white?

he's considerably larger, mass-wise. a bit taller. i think he's about as tall as Universe Onslaught, if i recall correctly.

this deco is growing on me a bit more, though i'm really trying hard to resist it so i don't own the mold a 3rd time... but i may just end up keeping mine in the end, we'll see...

the missile launcher button? it really stands out, i'm sure it's probably due to the plastics and other pieces that need to be blue, but it is kind of annoying. really wish it could at least get painted to match the white plastic, but i doubt that'll happen.

Just badass

Quick pic, hope that helps.

looks so weird, like if the mammoth had frozen to death or something like that...optimus looks kinda cool though.

Just putting it out there, if anyone gets this beautiful figure and doesn't want it, I will take it, I love this mold and this a perfect use of it.

there's a new pic up, but i'm at work and can't get to facebook.

Glad, I'm not the only one as I mentioned earlier. White would've been a much better choice. Right now, that blue missile launcher button on top of a white background really stand out.

All versions of the Big Convoy mold have the same issue with the launcher button standing out.





As Lumpy mentioned, it has to do with certain parts sharing the same colored sprue. Either way, Ultra Mammoth still looks great, and I will get this!

If that's the case, I take back what I said earlier, ehhee. Thanks for the pics.

It's a clever repaint, yeah, but the mold is just so freaking awful. So much kibble junk everywhere gets in the way of all the things he has going for him.

that looks... terrible. if it was all-white it would've been great, but as it is this is... gross.

I stand corrected and guess the Lucky Draw Big Convoy is the exception as this pic demonstrates:



Odd that it's the only version that has the same colors for both parts.

New images from the TFCC Facebook page! Happy Labour Day indeed!

Transformers Collectors Club Facebook Page just posted this

"I'm thinking you guys have been so excited about Ultra Mammoth, you really deserve a better (read that bigger) look at the amazing robot he is. So... I've tried to make this a large as possible on Facebook. Have a great Labor Day Weekend!"



I think it looks awesome!!
