Yes indeed, the Transformers Collectors' Club Membership Incentive Maximal Rampage/Protoform X is arriving as reported, and YouTube reviewer Primal Sabbath has uploaded a video looking at this very nice, new-head sculpt sporting, redeco of Transformers Prime First Edition Deluxe Megatron. The video also includes some nice comparison shots with archnemesis Depthcharge and box companion (in a way) Trasmutate. Check it out below!

Rampage's head reminds me of Crab Destroyah's from the Godzilla franchise.

Well, it's no coincidence that he originally transformed into a Transmetal king crab!

I've been waiting forever to see a comparison of Rampage and Depth Charge, hoping that Depth Charge didn't tower over Rampage. I'm pleased to see that they're both fairly in-scale with one another! :grin:

So, so, so friggin' excited about coming home and finding Rampage in my mailbox within the next few days! :BOOM:

They definitely did a great job on this guy... I just wish mine didn't have the crappy paint defect on his left eye.. Maybe the club will replace it for me at Botcon... Worse comes to worse, I'll just hit it with a bit of neon green paint and it'll be all better.. No matter, I plan on buying a second one anyways :lol:

Yeah, he looks fantastic in person. While the head is a pinch small, I think it's within acceptable parameters. Looks okay in person, like he's a big-bodied brute. Sculpt is really nicely executed, too. No complaints there.

And I have to add again... paint apps look AMAZING on this guy. The gradations are beautiful.

Hats off to the club. Will proudly display this one with Depthcharge and the Botcon set. :APPLAUSE:

I'm fairly certain it's going to be Fisitron, shown a week back:

Yeah, if Fisitron is getting boxed up already I'd bet on that.

Re: Video Review - Transformers Collectors' Club Membership Incentive Maximal Rampage / Protoform X (1579663)
Posted by Sabrblade on June 5th, 2014 @ 11:09am CDT

Yeah, Fisitron has a "2" on his seals where Barricade had a 1 on his.

Which means we're getting the two Aligned guys in this year's subscription service first.

Chromedome and Rewind, being a pair, will be probably be the 3rd and 4th to be shipped. After them, Treadshot, Thrustinator (BW came last last year) and the Mystery figure. Calling it right now!

Not sure who it is, but at the rate these are coming out I almost wish next year's subscription would just do 3 sets of 2 figures and maybe save us some cash by shipping that way.

To throw my vote in, I'd like the next figure to be either Chromedome or Rewind.

I got Rampage yesterday and one of the horns was broken on him. I was able to crazy glue it back on. I was surprised that he was just in a polybag with nothing protective around him. I emailed the TFC to see what they say about the broken horn.

I was more surprised he was in a polybag in a box. I more expected him to come in an envelope thing

Rampage came in a box, but there was no protection in the box outside a plastic bag he was in. No foam like other years. My box came crushed but thankfully, everything inside was just fine.

I'd say be patient and wait for at least another week-ish. If it's not in by next Friday, I'd start worrying and see about contacting the Club about it.

Speaking of, finally ordered a polybagged Depth Charge with the clearance price. This is going to be a long few days... :BANG_HEAD:

speaking of depth charge, does anyone know if there's a fix for that mold having one front stabilizer fin that, due to being slightly misaligned from what I can tell, is pushed out of place by the hip?

Right, but I can still hope CD would be the #2 release

Next will very likely be Ironfist, since he was already shown in box with seal stickers labeled 2 and fisitron... though it may be important to note that neither sticker was shown to say BOTH so they could be playing the short con on us. On another note, is anyone else kind of surprised that Barricade's lightbar was switched to opaque plastic, rather than leaving it transparent red and blue like the original prowl?

Our friends over at the official Transformers Collectors' Club have been busy lately! It was just a week ago that the first TFSS 2.0 figure, Barricade with Frenzy, started arriving in member's mailboxes, that was followed by this year's membership incentive figure Maximal Rampage, now we have reports that the second TFSS 2.0 figure, Fisitron, is arriving. Fisitron is repaint of the Transformers Generations FOC Deluxe Roadbuster mold. Check out the images courtesy of Twitter user John DeLuna mirrored below:

So are they ditching the whole "ship a single figure once a month" deal, or is this just a fluke within the system? :???:

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. Turns out there was a delay in the initial shipping and the coinciding of BotCon, so they decided to ship Ironfist out early to make up for that.

i skipped Whirl and Roadbuster initially on account of their Voyager and (then) Universe figures, so this is 3 of 4 before Ruination has his limbs.

There was another delay this year (thankfully not as late as last year's delay). As this is still a relatively new service, hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out eventually.

Yeah, I figured it out. Please see the above edit.

While it's nice... I'm putting my money towards Gauntlet. New mold, looks more like the character, and better price (which is saying something for 3rd party).

Re: Video Review - Transformers Collectors' Club Membership Incentive Maximal Rampage / Protoform X (1580143)
Posted by El Duque on June 7th, 2014 @ 2:46pm CDT

There was no delay, nor was there one last year. TFCC gets all their figures for the year in one big shipment, that coincides with BotCon for obvious reasons. You think it was a coincidence that they stared shipping Transmutate, Rampage, and TFSS 2.0 figures all at the same time? Nope. I would imagine shipping rates force them to get one big shipment. The so called delays are just bull shit cover stories. I don't know why they don't just own up to it.

Hydra is the one who wrote Fisitron's bio, and he filled it with some fun little references to other TF fiction.

IDW G1 references:

His real name is "Ironfist" while "Fisitron" is his infosphere alias.
He was recruited to join the Wreckers
Ultra Magnus is a lawman
Ultra Magnus has a connection to the Wreckers (also a reference to Marvel G1 and, well, this is Aligned Ultra Magnus here anyway)

Wings Universe G1 references:

He started out as a factory worker.

Energon references:

The Combination Spark (Japanese name of the Spark of Combination)

There's probably more in there to be found, as well.

Yeah, he and Barricade and Frenzy hail from the same universe, according to TransTech Rhinox and Heinrad.

He's right: he's a straight repaint of FoC Roadbuster, a retool of FoC Swindle:

Only Chromedome, Rewind and Thrustinator got new heads.

It's new to me. I don't have any of the FOC Wreckers.
