    Have you put any G2 Con symbols on him?

    Can you take a side by side with meteor?

    Is it all tampos or are some stickers?

    I don't have regular Meteor, so I can't do that. The one I have is Skycrow.

    He doesn't have any G2 Con symbols yet although I'm planning on it.

    As for stickers/tampos, they're all tampo details EXCEPT FOR the inside of the intakes, which are shiny stickers.

    Has anyone had a PAYPAL invoice from TCP for their Screamer figure yet - I have emailed them numerous times but heard nothing back from them. I have the figure pre-ordered but I was never given a shipping cost with the await Paypal Invoice option.

    Any ideas guys - Should I be worried??

    I have gotten nothing besides the initial order received email. If you would like to pay now you can do it through the website under the preorders in the my account page.

    Don't worry, nobody's gotten an invoice yet. TCP hasn't had time to get home from the 'con and resume normal shipping. It's a waiting game for all of us.
    He's in the UK, IIRC, so like me he can't pay until they help him calculate shipping.

    Oh yeah, apologies. Well in that case you are allowed to make partial payments towards preorders now. If it is a matter of having the cash to pay now.

    Yeah, I've paid for the items themselves. I can pay for the shipping as soon as I know what it is.

    Ya we should give them time to get everything sorted out after all the con was just last weekend and you can only travel so fast and work so hard.

    They’ll get us taken care of soon. Thanks to them for having the fans in mind

    Careful re: him, that said. I dunno if it's just due to me having not been this stupid with Skycrow or a difference in plastic but I managed to sheer off one of the tabs on his waist parts that peg into the cockpit (and deform the other) while transforming him back to altmode.

    Like I'm pretty sure this is chalked up to me being dumb with the toy and it still holds together fine, but those peg connections are pretty tight so rather than detaching the tab it warped the plastic.

    Does anyone know what the TAC stood for?

    Transformers Air Combat?

    I always wondered.

    Yeah, the TCP was super busy at the CON, so it will definitely take a bit to get back to normal operations. TAC stands for Tactical Air Command.

    Damn, Smoke. Well, I found him guess now I gotta fight him in Mortal Kombat. Odd, I don't remember holding down and pressing start... or being in Outworld for that matter.

    So I’m understanding this chosen prime doesn’t charge you for preorders till they are in stock. Correct?

    Basically if I preorder now I’m not gonna get charged? Sorry for redundancy just wanna make sure

    You have to select no cost preorder when you check out.
    But keep in mind these are "instock" they just aren't in AZ ready to be shipped.
    You should probably expect to see your card charged sooner rather then later.

    Probably Tactical Air Command, an organization in the United States Airforce that was replaced by Air Combat Command in 1992.

    It with the Decepticon symbol on the other wing of the G2 toy seem to be imitating classic USAF wing markings.
    [​IMG]

    G2 came out in 1993, TAC was no more the year prior, maybe that meant they could use the abbreviation without any special legal permissions or something like that. Evoking the USAF without actually stating USAF. Or maybe they just thought Tactical Air Command was cooler, I don't know.
