Oooh, don't go getting me over excited. I've wanted a Nova Prime for ages, but haven't been brave enough to stump up the cash for any of the third party efforts...

Actually, that works far far better than I was expecting! |

I really get a BW2 seacon vibe off him!
Good to see this!

It's Ultra Magnus, just with a different name!

Unlike Orion Pax, I would actually have that.

"Rattle" may be a clue, or a misdirect.
Could be that Serpant OR removed from the subservice, and sold on it's own.
Would make me happy that I don't have to pay for a joe toy.
The new powerglide is definitely off the table. That leaves Ultra Powerglide, and dotm cybverse powerglide.
The latter seems unlikely as they don't like doing things smaller than deluxe anymore.
Cohrada as a cobra? What other things?
Or maybe it's a rattler decoed as powerglide?

It's a non transforming joe vehicle.
I'm happy. It's supremely skippable.
I'm also happy they didn't choose Blackrock, Hi-Q, Zarak, Galen, or Verity. I couldn't pass those. And with the exception of Galen, all are significantly more important than a nobody like Marissa.

Even if that's just a Joe vehicle repaint and not a Transformer, does Hasbro allowing TFCC to use the Afterburner name imply that there isn't a Technobot team coming in the Combiner Wars line? or would they consider something as niche as the TFCC figures not important enough to conflict with retail?
(I don't think there will be a Technobot Combiner Wars set anyway, I think that's going at most to be the four Special Teams).

I don't think this has any impact on that, or vice versa. Since this runs in the exact same camp as last years SDCC exclusive TF flavor joe vehicles.
There's just really no conflict of interest.

He really doesn't care about TF at all. Meanwhile, I think Pete is a dual fan. That said, for a few years there was a small movement in the TF club to try to talk them into using joe molds to make TF humans like Blackrock. Pete and Brian resisted, and if I remember correctly, the majority of the other club members were vocally against it as well. I honestly don't give a flying fig about vehicles decoed after transformers, but I wouldn't mind two or threepacks of humans that make sense together. (Galen & Zarak, GB Blackrock & Hi-Q, Verity & Hunter) |

If they could use the Masterpiece mini figures or the the Human Alliance figures I'd be all for it. Hell if they did human characters using Kreo I'd be happy, beyond that they could use Kiss players even, but there is no place for a Joe sized figure in Transformers. Surely Energon Kicker proved that.

There is.
And this is how. Beast Wars. Had they returned to that little first wave pre-show micro continuity, and set that in their wingsverse.

That is an awful figure. Her boobs look like they been stuck on over harness straps. Quite frankly I'd rather have a bottom flap, and that's saying something.

True, but one TFCC story wouldn't have convinced me it was worth the purchase of such an odd set. Maybe just Faireborn on her own if there was a chance of other more significant human characters down the line, but I don't want to spend money on that bike. Just been looking at the Human Alliance line and I'd have been much more interested in the Mikaela Baines and Arcess HA toys. Arcee even has an almost Afterburner transformation. What they have done would make a great Joe club crossover, but I don't get it for a TFCC toy. |

It's some weird thing where autobots and maximals coexist, BM characters are active, and there's some underground movement to defeat the maximal overlords.
And if you follow tfwiki, cheetor looks like alpha trion and is ancient.
