2013 Club Exclusives discussion - Scourge, Circuit, Depth Charge, Ultra Mammoth, Slipstream, Breakdown, Jackpot Rating Options

[Bass X0]

When I first saw the name "Ultra Mammoth," I thought they couldn't get any lamer.

And then it hit me.

Pure genius.

--LBD "Nytetrayn"

I think I thought of that name too years ago. Also

Optimammoth Prime

Maximal Maximus

[G.B.Blackrock]

"Movie" Circuit (although I'm sure they CAN'T explicitly do that),

I'm pretty sure Circuit is supposed to be another G2 Redux addition, really.

Was this stated, or is this just because of the loud colors (which any Circuit homage would pretty much have to have)?

AM Thundercracker and Double Punch are both in the G2ish bit of the Club, so Circuit is probably supposed to support those two

Actually, that's not quite true.

"AM Thundercracker" is actually in the Shattered Glass bit of the Club.

Which really makes my point. I was asking if we were just making an assumption, as opposed to something that we'd been told would be the case.

Until FP confirms where Circuit "fits," several possibilities remain open. (And that's assuming they even have an "official" placement in mind)

Anyone can tell me how this TFCC thing works - especially for people outside the USA? Can members pre-order these normally, or it's the same rush to pre-order before the number runs out in a few hours?

There is going to be a 2 to 3 week preorder for the figures and they'll make the figures based on the # of subscriptions they get plus a little extra to sell later (and likely for replacements).

They offer this to people internationally, but obviously the shipping is more expensive.

He's in both, technically. They released a filecard for him that puts him along with the other G2 guys and the Botcon comic from 09

Sort of opposite to how Slicer's his AM self but can also be SG Wheeljack

[Powered Convoy]

That and it was said that AMTC was developed originally for the G2 Redux set, and then when they went ahead to do him and place him in SG the club magazine (IIRC) said the G2 Redux bio was originally supposed to come with the figure in addition to the SG bio.

Later, sure. Different thing entirely.

But the point remains. EVEN IF BotCon 2011 TC is officially in G2 by virtue of the later G2 Tech Specs (and I would actually argue that he is, by the "everything is canon" rule if by nothing else), the fact that BotCon 2011 TC was ALSO released (first and foremost, no less) as a Shattered Glass character leaves precisely the kind of ambiguity that says that we shouldn't assume anything about where a character is supposed to go.

Moving on... what would people say about more Beast Wars/Machines molds appearing as future Botcon/Club exclusives?

Not just random ones but known desirable, quality or rare molds.

[CORVUS]

Define desirable & quality.

[Phlis]

Define desirable & quality.

There are some decent Neo molds that never made it out over here, Longrack, Stampy, Mach Kick (kiiiiinda), BW2 Galvatron could make a cool...something, Doubledealer maybe?

Also desirable: I wonder if Animated Black Out is on the club exclusive table.

[ChessPieceFace]

Man, any way to get the Killerpunch mold would be fantastic.

[M Sipher]

Mach Kick is not remotely decent. Great horse mode, love the rooted hair... everything else about him blows wet chunky bits in a wide spread.

If the bw cyborg molds still exist, I'd love them done up as Dinobot, Waspinator, Silverbolt and SkyByte from some bizarre zombie-verse. They have the benefits of being of fan favorite characters with the re labeling and the color schemes could be pretty cool.

[Creedence]

I own Killerpunch. He's not that remarkable. It's a mildly better version of the Guiledart mold, which sucks to begin with.

[Razorsaw]

He's a styracosaurus.

He could be the worst mold ever. I'd still want him.

[gargunkle]

I could potentially go for new versions of molds like Scorponok and Inferno. But that'd probably mostly be stuff that's already been done (clear/red Scorp, black Antagony)

Man, I would love Animated Venom from the club. (They're not going to do Blackout himself, obviously; virtually anyone who would have paid what they'd need to charge for a Blackout would probably have already bought a Blackout.)

[NICKSAUR]

Quick mock-ups, but I'd buy these.

Thrustol and Max-B are almost in Dinobot and Silverbolt colors already.

ehhhh. Hellscream as Sky-Byte is good, but honestly, Dirgegun -> Waspinator and Thrustor -> Dinobot strike me as kind of boring.

What about a Deluxe Insecticon, Snapdragon, and Fangry?

[NICKSAUR]

Also good options!

I was just thinking of the most popular characters that could be associated with these molds and I didn't have a lot of time on my hands.

But if these molds are still alive, I think they'd fit right in with this line.

[Rosicrucian]

Hellscream at the least seems to be in good repair. I picked up his Universe release.
