First Edition Megatron as Beast Wars Rampage? Wow, that looks surprisingly nice! Personally, it would scale better with other characters using the Voyager mold, but I understand why they chose the Deluxe over the Voyager. That might be the one to make me enlist in the Collector's Club.
Using First Edition Arcee as Transmutate? Clever, given that Transmutate's voice actor was Susan Blu, voice of the original Arcee.
Not sure how I feel about the next round of TFSS figures. I'll have to see Chromedome first before I make my judgement. Done some research on Treadshot: I like how that will look. Not sure on Ironfist either, but we'll see.

The FE deluxe Megatron should be released as a voyager. Even as a deluxe, it's vastly superior to Powerizers Megatron.

Treadshot was my first Action Master, and repainting Warpath into him makes more sense the more you think about it. Damn, I may actually have to renew...if I can afford it.

Transmutate is okay, but not one I'm super bothered about. Rampage on the other hand is fantastic! Want! Maybe not enough to pay the Club's ridiculous shipping and deal with their crazy timing, but I might see if I can pick it up via online retailers or ebay or something.

So is the sub 2.0 only 3 figures or are those just the ones they revealed with more coming at a later point? Last year, they showed all six with mock ups at the panel.

When you mean "Hasbro called dibs on", do you mean figures among the Generations lineup that are planned to be released to the general public?
If there's supposed to be three more, that makes me hopeful: these three are okay, but I was hoping for a multiple-continuity cast, like the first run had.

Ah, I see.
Kinda glad they didn't take Doubledealer. Didn't want to shell out more money for that specific character. Like I said before, with Doubledealer in the mix, this gives me a perfect excuse to get Sandstorm: Springer can duke it out with Blitzwing, and Sandstorm can duke it out with Doubledealer. I like to keep my teams even.

I'm thinking of joining up for a Rampage! Kind of bummed it isn't the BW Rampage on the right (as the figure needs the GIANT claws)... but still not a bad exclusive.
As mentioned by someone else, the smaller deluxe size is a bit cheap. Rampage is supposed to be BIG!!!!! Oh well.

I never believed Hasbro would pay any real attention to the Beast Wars again, at least not in any way that wasn't a simple nod (like the Beast Hunters stuff). I guess firing their current staff and possibly abandoning their 'bible' is what allowed for this as well as the offerings we're getting in Generations (Waspinator and Rhinox).
I was the one saying that they'd never even really acknowledge the Beast Wars again. I'm happy to be wrong. Crow never tasted so good, bring em' on and keep em' comin'

This is great. Never got the deluxe FE Megatron or Arcee, but now I can have them as Beast Wars characters I never got. Ironfist using the FOC Roadbuster sounds scary. Though it does tie in fantastically with the Wrecker combiner team. If they show up at retail.

Yeah he's supposed to be big but remember that he's a Beast Wars character. Big for them is a deluxe class figure when talking scale wise. I'm not one to go on and on about things needing to be in scale, I was just trying to point out their logic.
I actually would want this done in the voyager mold though as I made a flying crab thing out of the voyager Megatron already and I don't know if it will or how well it will work with the deluxe version. It kinda reminds me of the Baund Doc from Z Gundam. I also thought that Megatron would be good as Beast Wars Scorpinok when I came up with my fan mode and Rampage certainly works for it too.

Dudes, "Rampage" works perfectly here, he needs no claws or crab legs. Take a look at what the name says "Protoform X" as hin this is pre-Beast Wars rampage.
I may end up getting this just because.

Chromedome and Ironfist. Rampage and Transmutate.
It's like they wanted to have a "Year of James Roberts", but also wanted a "Year of Beast Wars", so they decided to have them both at the same time. And it is GLORIOUS.

I do like some of these ideas (especially Rampage. However I wish that each TFCC year would have more of a theme. So far movie figures, Prime figures, and FOC figures are being thrown into the mix. And they don't seem to be getting along. I just prefer a little cohesiveness.

These feel a bit forced. Not unnecessary or gratuitous... just a touch on the phoned-in side.
I am curious as to how a head swap from protoform x onto an original BW rampage figure will work out.

It's nice to see Hasbro, Takara and the Club use the pictures from this site from time to time. That's what the images are there for. It shows how symbiotic this whole process is.
It'd be awesome for Seibertron.com to get a shout out from the Club if possible though.

So about those three figures Hasbro called dibs on - was it because there would be new figures getting produced for that name, or was it because of a specific figure/mold combo?
Because if it's the former, we are not seeing an IDW Chromedome anytime soon.

They really didn't clarify either way, since they didn't want to reveal anything that Hasbro was doing that Hasbro themselves have not revealed.
That said, I think your conclusion is probably on point - but you know what? After seeing what Blurrz did with the Wheeljack mold/Chromedome character, it's really darn close.

Because if it's the former, we are not seeing an IDW Chromedome anytime soon.

So there's actually more figures than Hasbro's already announced they've got planned to be released?

At minimum, 20 something more. They said they plan on releasing 30 "special" items, of which we know for sure about 5 (the Platinum series stuff) and the comic-con stuff may count into that too.

Oh, so it's the 30 specials, not a seperate, additional 20 to the roster we already have. Darn, I was hoping for more in the normal, retail line.

Crap. Time to spread my already thin wallet like butter. Here's to hoping there's more Platinum combiners, though.

If TFCC wants to see these figures released in February, then their order should have been placed a few days ago. Since they have to come up with three new figures for the sub service, let's help them out!
So far we have:
Proposed Figure - Original Figure - Class
Chromedome - Prime Wheeljack - Deluxe
Treadshot - Generations Warpath - Deluxe
Ironfist - Generations Roadbuster - Deluxe
And suggestions are:
Since we're ripping off Blurrz; Rodimus - Prime Vehicon - Deluxe
Springarm/Wheelarch - Prime Arcee - Deluxe
Beast Machines Thrust - BH Arcee - Deluxe
Nightscream (pfft) - RotF Mindwipe - Voyager
Ravage - Universe Cheetor - Deluxe
Pinkie Pie - Beast Wars Neo Mach Kick - Deluxe
Or, you know, bring over the Frenzy/Rumble tanks as Frenzy, Rumble, and/or Enemy.
