    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?

    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.

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

    WIKI: Ram Jet

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

    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.

    Which is weird, considering it's the spitting image of G2 Ramjet. What exactly did you have in mind?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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