TFCC Side Burn Toy Pictures

that looks like crap.

As tired as I am of the rodimus mold, I have to admit it works well for side burn. Hopefully we'll be getting his brothers?

I'm excited about this. I love this mold. The character isn't too bad either.

I dig it! I wonder when we'll be getting this. Plus, I hope FP does armor for him....

Prowl will probably be a repaint of Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Red Alert with a more cop-like version of Red Alert's molding. X-Brawn...eh will probably be the depressed Ironhide/Ratchet remold (tilted head and all)

Maybe BotCon 2012's exclusive set will be the Spychangers. Be a good way to break-out the Kup mold one more time. Not sure on the others. Just as long as I have an excuse to get another non-movieverse pick-up truck

Oh, and bet Side Burn will lose his front end (like the earlier Hot Rod mold, I refuse to call it Rodimus because of the lack of trailer) chasing after little red sports cars...as usual!

Ah no wait it just dawned on me, Sideburn is visited by Erector every time he sees a red car, you know what that means, he'll have the hots for Rodimus ans since they are based off the same mold - would that count as Twincest?

Anyone want to buy mine when mine arrives? I also am thinking about selling my Dion from last year. I will charge a fair price.

am i the only one who hates the mold and this figure itself?

No.

When are they shipping this?

I like this, but only because it is an exclusive. I love exclusives....

exclusive suck up

Now they just need to redeco it in yellow for Hot Shot.

Someone said something about using the Ironhide mold for X-Brawn. Yuck. But what about using Kup instead? Vehicle mode wouldn't be as close, but it would suck less overall.

Hate to say it but I like it a lot Should I get him that'll be Rodimus variety no. 4 in my collection

damnit wish i signed up cause i want one

starwarrior1227 wrote:am i the only one who hates the mold and this figure itself?

I think it's an overrated mold, but I can't say I come anywhere close to hating it. And I think this figure in particular will actually look quite nice in person. I think the color is probably off in the photos above and likely doesn't do the figure justice.

Although I have to admit, I hope FP skips the armor for it...even though I think it's totally coming. It makes absolutely no sense beyond looking kinda neat and I don't need the temptation. Although I managed to dodge the clear set, but that was probably in large part because I don't have the clear Rodimus and didn't want to invest $200 for the whole thing for something else that makes no sense either.

Hopefully, even if it's not something he ever got, that FP makes a color coded trailer set.

I'll buy it.


Sick of Hot Rod anyway

I'm sure it looks much nicer than these photos show. Whoever is taking photos for AC Toys needs a better camera, lighting or both. I'm actually sorta looking forward to this one now.

Don't get me wrong, I love the mass produced, under painted, QC deficient stuff too....Exclusives are just....different.

While I have never been a fan of the mold and I havnt really warmed to the character, Im actually quite impressed with the re-deco. Hope mine ships soon.

I agree, we should form a club or something

Awesome, now, come on Fansproject!

We need a blue Protector, and maybe a clear blue to go with the Takara Rodimus from the 3 pack!

how come these people have zero clue on doing proper full transformations. robot mode properly wouldnt look nearly as shitty if done right.

You don't actually get much Fun Publishing stuff then do ya? In all fairness, they do some fantastic figures with some pretty damn good paint jobs. You just have to check over your figures really well. The botcon figures are notorious for flubs.

So far I have 2 complete botcon sets (2010, 2011) and 5 TFCC pieces. They all came flawless. I have heard about some issues, guess i've been lucky. Punch Counterpunch is still one of my favorite figures of ALL of my collection.

Nobody in the states has gotten theirs yet, right?

Not that I'm aware of.

They are working over there though. Last week I got my Warpath and Scourge I ordered from the Club Store. This week they are pumping out the Iacon sets. I imagine after that, we should start seeing shipping notices.

Yeah last week I got my Ramjet and Cheetor.

On the 21st of June I was told this by an administrator at FunPub:

"These are due to ship out in the next couple of weeks. We are waiting on these to arrive to us. Thank you."

I remember last year, when I got back from Botcon I had a package from them in my mailbox. They sent me "Big Lob" from the Gi Joe collectors club( LoL) of which im not a member of. After 3-4 weeks i finally got Dion, missing a coptur. I finally got it all sorted out early August .. Turns out though Dion is one of my fav figs ..

Dude..getRightRobot, that Orion Pax is so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome! I joined at, almost literally, the last minute to get Sideburn so I was using my news staff contacts to make sure I was actually gonna get the figure.

Yeah, I got me a Ramjet the week before last. Kinda wish I had picked up a Cheetor. But ohwell. I do hope that FP recast the Shadow Scyther upgrade in blue for this. It would be a fair way to upgrade Side Burn without just making him a blue Rodimus.
