    Okay, TCC gets my money on this round. Good choice of characters, they all work, and they combine as a bonus. This lot is a solid little group.

    I hope we get Quake from Brawl and Crankcase from First Aid in TFSS 5.0, just to complete the Decepticon Double Targetmasters and Triggercons, even though neither were associated with the Mayhems.

    This will probably be the first time I sign up for the TFSS. Well done!

    Oh! Maybe Quake from Brawl as the secret bonus figure? !
    So pumped! Spinister is one of my absolute favorite Cons.

    Interesting, but I'll have to wait to see combined pics...In all honesty we have so many uses of the same molds already I'm having a hard time being excited for these....not blaming TFCC because I applaud the use of characters and offering up a way to tie the whole subscription together, and I may join for the first time in a few years just for Ramjet and Skywarp.

    That subscription lineup is really nice. They work well as individual figures, so the combining feature, like the Toyworld Throttlebots, is an added bonus I may not even bother using.

    (I don't know if I really need another Bludgeon though.)

    Happy to see Armada Skywarp & Ramjet happening; I didn't know if those would even be on Fun Pub's radar, let alone Hasbro/Takara. The human Rodimus & Arcee are the most pleasant surprise for me.

    '16 looks really good.

    (Now, when is the second '15 subscription figure shipping, and next installment going to be due after that?)

    I hope we get Quake from Brawl (with Targetmasters) and Crankcase from First Aid as the unrevealed sixth and seventh figures in 4.0:

    Although my guess is that Thundercracker from Generations Armada Starscream will be one of the two, given that Skywarp and Ramjet are a separate club toy and the freebie, respectively. :(

    Hope we get a few weeks warning as to when Subscription 4.0 will go live. I suspect that myself, like a lot of people will need to get cash in order for it.

    Bet you the Pretender head is the combiner head. He's homaging the core figure in his robot mode.

    Spinister sounds cool, Ruckus is meh, Needlenose is neat, Bludgeon is okay, don't care about Unicron trilogy, and human TF stuff is stupid.

    Thinking of picking up Spinister and Needlenose on the aftermarket.

    DAMMIT! AGAIN WITH FUNPUB DOING THE THINGS I WANT! I was REALLY looking forward to TC and Skywarp from Armada Starscream and of course in the same manner as Scourge Funpub's getting what would've been a superb idea for retail figures. I'm definately renewing my subscription just for that Ramjet and I fully intend to buy Skywarp. Also interesting to see Funpub's doing some CW stuff as well; to bad we can't get another Nexus Prime though.

    Hasbro just re-expressed they were set on "finishing groups" when they release Seekers, Insecticons etc. then they go and let the club put out Armada Skywarp :/

    Universe Ramjet I can understand, hell his only fiction was a club storyline.

    I assume that implies they never cared to make an Armada team. Which sucks.

    You do if your other Bludgeon molds are not compatible with Combiner Wars limbs.
