He does fit scavenger pretty well though

I still consider Scavenger a TransMetal Inferno since that’s who it was meant to be and who he is in Japan. I would love for the TCC to do a black repaint of it as Antagony since they’ve shown they’re willing to do 3H characters and have access to old Beast Wars moulds

Please tell me I'm not the only one who would like to see the club do an Onyx Primal from the Generations Jhiaxus. When I first got Jhiaxus and saw the face with those little pointy teeth and the detail on the wings the first thing I thought of was a bat.

Uh, I'd buy 10...

Now that the Classics Seeker mold has been put to bed for good (thank goodness) I kinda hope we get a new, better, Voyager scale Seeker mold.

Ha, MartianSpyGirl1996. That may have been my first custom. Got an extra "Scavenger" on discount and painted my own TM Antagony.

Seriously. Why was that figure renamed. And why the new horns on the head? Weird. >:oP

Have any pics???
Scavenger was renamed since Inferno was shelfwarming hardcore... Hasbro was afraid a TM Inferno would preform just as poorly. Not sure about the horns... maybe to reference the "Inferno"/Pit/hell in the show and by turning him into a devilish character since he has a flamethrower, is red, and insane? Just my theory

I'll try to dig for it

I stripped the chrome to silver and other painstaking details. Came out way better than I'd hoped.

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes on the re-naming. Shame they didn't have the budget to Transmetal the entire cast... and that there wasn't a TM Scorponok figure. I mean... besides the McDonalds one. (boo)

But I digress....

Getting back to the club figures... I think there are still some great, heavy-hitters from BW that they could bring in for a vehicle mode. (Like Inferno, Terrasaur, etc.)

I've also loved their Botcon redux figures. I'd love to see a new Packrat, Glyph, Tap-Out, Rook set using the CHUG molds.

Hauler is also at the top of my list of hopes for TFCC/Botcon.

She sounds awesome!
No problem

I think these would have been awesome if they weren't fan art:

Not sure how you feel about spoilers, so I'll keep it vague... one of those figures is being made

If the rumors are true, we just might be getting a Packrat from Generations Rattrap in this year's lineup of BotCon exclusives. If he's in the boxed set, he'd most likely be "The Thief" (and kinda the "Rocket Raccoon") of the set.

That would be perfect! Crossing my fingers. :-D

sheesh. All of those molds are exceptional. Zero complaints if those are in the lineup. Trying to guess who all the other bots could be in those colors. Of course, Beachcomber could be the blue one. Hmmm.

He looks great! I'm a huge fan of the pre-built Microns. It's such a nice value-add.

Putting the Microns together is fun too, but I'm A-okay with pre-built ones.

If anyone has a subscription and wants to unload this one, PM me. Seriously.

This guy looks awesome!!

by **gothsaurus** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 12:12 pm

Same here. ZERO complaints with this guy. Sculpt looks amazing. Paint job and mold choice, great. Bonus buddy, super. Action master homage, one of my favorite options.

Just. Excellent.

Bang up job, TFCC. :BOWDOWN:

Hang on a sec. Only one of those pics from Taobao is new. The rest are all from the Club's Twitter, which Taobao copied to go with its single new pic.

Those look pretty flawless as well. Great paint apps.

Save for the black paint on the sides of Starscream's white head.

What a Krok of...awesome.

by **gothsaurus** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 12:59 pm

where have you seen a robot mode pic of starscream?... or are you going by the black square on side of plane nose?

Either way, paint thinner party for something like that. NO problem. LOL.

Hang on while I double check the layout of the Classics Seeker tooling...
