Carrying on the Transformers G2 influence from the Generation 2 Redux set released this past summer, The Transformers Collectors’ Club will be releasing Classics G2 Ramjet as a 2011 club exclusive. This repaint of Classics Ramjet features translucent vertical stabilizers and what looks to be tampo-printed details in lieu of stickers. Here are more details from the club:
G2 Ramjet is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Wings Universe and is part of the Generation 2: Redux cast. G2 Ramjet utilizes the extremely popular Classics seeker mold. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display.Hit the title bar to check it out!

I'm still hoping for AM Thundercracker for either BotCon 2011 or as a Club exclusive for 2012.

Bogatan addressed most of this, but I think parts need clarification.
BOTH AMTC and G2 Ramjet were planned for the BotCon 2010 (G2) set. NEITHER were available, because Hasbro was working on Generations Thrust (and, probably to a lesser extent, Dirge) at the time. But for the 2011 club figure, both were theoretically available options, and the club chose to go with G2 Ramjet.
(Apparently, they couldn't do BOTH of them, as they are limited as to how many club toys they are allowed by Hasbro to produce, so they had to choose one or the other)
AMTC remains an option in theory, but only if FP sees the demand for it.

Will definitely be getting him. I love everything about him. He will fit in perfectly with the rest of my neo G2 figures.

It's just so gaudy and insanely colored I might have to actually join the club now. Never been much of a G2 fan but it's hard to say no to something that crazy.
PoweredConvoy
There's been 2 Thundercracker's already. One that was made in about the same amount as G2 Ramjet will be produced in (BotCon), and one that had a lot more than that made (the Henkei).
Perhaps Hasbro will do a Generations one.
Probably DeceptiCon.

Which is weird, considering it's the spitting image of G2 Ramjet. What exactly did you have in mind?
Bogatan
Correct for botcon, but for the club release they choose to go with Ramjet over Thudercracker. Personally I wouldn't say its the wrong choice or that there even was a wrong choice based purely on the toys, but after admitting we got that close to AMTC for Botcon passing over it for a club figure too feels frustrating.

Total speculation, but perhaps it was an inside joke/easter egg about the planned and unreleased Desert Camo Ramjet:

Scroll around the center of the page to where the "Toys" section is (after "Other Media").

I will actually join the club to get G2 Ramjet. It is pure WIN!!!
As for Action Master Thundercracker, didn't the Club say that they had originally planned to include him in the G2 set, and later considered doing him as a separate Club release, but Hasbro said they couldn't use the mold either time (presumably because they were using it) so they ended up dropping the idea completely? I'd probably be up for that one were the Club to produce it.
G2 Starscream wouldn't interest me. In my opinion, it doesn't look distinct enough to warrant a Club-priced release.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but what does the "DC" stand for on his tailfins? I know it was on the original figure as well, so it's not an FP in-joke or anything. Decepticon something? Damned Conehead? Demented Coloring? District of Columbia?
giga-galvatron
Might get this. I had G2 Ramjet when I was a kid (I was about 10-11 when G2 came out) along with Screamer so Im interested. Ima join the club before the year is out.

Considering that Scourge and G2 Prime have faction symbols and not rub symbols, it's an educated theory that they're in Generations. Nothing seen yet on Wreck Gar or Perceptor.
Jetfire5
Yes, that's what I was implying with the phrase "It was my impression…"; a complete and total assumption through logic. If you see a rub sign, perhaps its "shield" aka faction symbol will be revealed if you rub or heat up the sticker. Or maybe something else might happen – perhaps; through some kind of new technology, by rubbing or heating up the rub sign, an "official transformers club member" will magically beam in front of you and say, "This is actually officially part of the Generations line, proceed to play with your toy." Possibilities are indeed endless in theory (like the magic bullet; which is officially how JFK was killed). Pass on G2 Ramjet; BTW the G2 sound FX box you seek is actually your face.

Congrats on being the first post for the story Jason.
And for the sake of conversation I will have that exclusive one way or another. I missed out on CP/P due to people being able to buy out ridiculous multiples. I will not lose out on this one!!!

Pete, since you're browsing… Are those going to be stickers or apps? I'd hate to see a beautiful club toy ruined by peeling or wearing stickers…
Pete Sync
Hey! We lowered them JUST for you! Well, you and all your friends across the pond
Draven
….LOVE it. Now I'm really tempted to rejoin the club, insane charges and all.

Pass… pass, pass, pass. I have never cared for the G2 formers. They never really fit in with my G1 figs.
