Not always a fan of Club results, but that is AWESOME! Looks great, and all those extra Arcee weapons are cool. I think that was a really good mold choice for the character too.

I'm thrilled to see that the final sample has the black head lines and eye liner. This flopped back and forth, and I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but hooray! it makes his face much more defined.

Not until people start receiving in their mailbox. Though the leak has kind of spoiled thing...

[grimdragon2001]

hopefully he and the bonus figure will be in my mailbox tomorrow. real excited now

[Zeedust]

Looks pretty nice. I hope this means he's shipping soon.

[Ultra Markus]

that mold could be used for strika
perhaps we could see a beastmachines inspired combiner

Could be done, but they wouldn't be terribly accurate in either form.

Jetstorm (Silverbolt), Tankor (Brawl), Thrust (UW Groove), Strika (Rook), Obsidian (UW Vortex).

Combined form could be either Megatron with the mask or Megahead/Megabolt Megatron. Also include an Arms Micron like Zori to act as the Diagnostic Drone.

They just did a nice Strika a mere three years ago.

We newsed some new images of Transformers Impactor from the TFSS 4.0 yesterday and he is arriving in mailboxes today. TF fan Phil of Wichita Transformers Fans Facebook group sent us some images of this arrival. As is customary with the subscription service, the bonus figure shipped with the final figure, so you can also find TFSS 4.0 Bluestreak in the pictures next to Impactor. These are both redecos of Combiner Wars toys, with Impactor sporting a new head, and can be used as either arms or legs for a combiner. Twiter user ThatJohnD also posted some images of his new Bluestreak which you can also see below. Enjoy!

[Sabrblade]

Man, I can't wait until the next prose story comes out and tells us Bluestreak's tale of how he survived Thunder Mayhem's destroying Cybertron as the planet's sole survivor. I'm hoping for an "I Am Legend" sort of tale with Bluestreak as the last bot on Cybertron.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

"Laser words" that can cut an enemy in half? Isn't that more suited for Bluestreak, since he won't shut up?

[durroth]

soooo... unless they're punking us, which I wouldn't put past funpub, we now know which mold the last mystery fig uses too.

Nope, Wreckage is now complete, with Toxitron as the torso, Counterpunch and Fractyl as legs, and Impactor and Bluestreak as arms.

[Mindmaster]

Wreckage having Impactor's harpoon hand and shoulder cannon is a cute touch. I guess I should try to get the entirety of both teams as I've got someone working to help me get Thunder Mayhem (hopefully), but I think I can live without Fractyl if I can ever get another Alpha Bravo and Offroad for sensible prices.

Going to say it again; while it's nice to be able to complete the Datsun trio, this was a massively missed opportunity to do Guzzle from Brawl. Would've been nice if we were to get a Rotorstorm as a component to Wreckage, too, but then I realize that that's yet another Alpha Bravo reuse, so I've made peace with it.

oh right, for some reason I forgot about fractyl. I wonder if the last mystery fig will even *be* a combiner limb then. hope not, I don't like having spare limbs just hanging around

How about a retool of CW Blackjack/Rodimus, to give Wreckage a power boost?

[kurthy]

Is Impactor's actual hand supposed to be so big that none of the weapons plug in? Mine doesn't and I see the one in the pics also doesn't plug into the yellow hand. It's disappointing because now I can't do hulk hands.

Somewhere the 5.0 mystery figure was said to be a CW Deluxe.

[durroth]

oh right, I forgot. damnit funpub, giving us a spare limb. I guess he can go on Inferion? (Scattershot singlepack torso, alpha bravo, rook, offroad, currently blastoff)

Dang, I wish I could get Impactor. Oh well, at least I'm getting Bluestreak in the mail soon.

Bluestreak comes with Impactor, though.

I know. I made a deal with the spawn of Unicron a TFW2005 member. Trading the guy a Terrorsaur for him.

Mine's the same way. Kind of a sad thing since it would have been fun to dual wield the swords

other than that, this guy is awesome

Bluestreak is ok at best though

Arcee's weapons have non-standard pegs, but the CW accessories non-fitting is worrisome. Is mold degradation finally setting in?
