Transformers Collector's Club Exclusive Seacons Images
http://actoys.net/bbs/read.php?tid-259403.html
First images of Transformers Collector's Club Exclusive Seacons Snaptrap and Nautilator have surfaced over at ACToys. These guys appear to have retained the color schemes originally intended for the canceled store exclusive release, and as we can see by the purple Decepticon logo, they are not going to be part of the Shattered Glass story.

IIRC, I think it's down to them and the Combaticons for surviving moulds from the 1980s combiners (or at least ones which wouldn't require a lot of work, I forget the details). And considering the Combaticons have been reissued 143 times, they wouldn't make a very good Club Exclusive (not that these guys do, but at least everyone doesn't own three versions already).
I actually am liking these giuys.
But I doubt very much I'd ever waste large sums of money on them, when there are better figures available at retail.
And, yeah, let's have a RID Railracer repaint or something! (Not as if Universe / Classics aren't throwing the odd repaint out in the line... Oh! Wait! Bad idea! They could ruin them like 'Treadbolt'!)
(Was playing with the Bullet Train Team the other day... I never get tired of 'em!)

Make it a gift-set, swap the blue and the white (and pretend the colors like purple and yellow simply do not exist), and I'm sure the Railbots would do fairly well as an exclusive somewhere.
But.. the seacons? They weren't even popular when they first came out. I know, I know, I'm ranting. But this is one of those things where the wiigii crowd got the club's ear entirely, I think.

The Railbots would work nicely as an exclusive, rather than retail (where the whole "no-one outside of Japan is /that/ interested in trains" thing comes into play, like with the RiD release). Combiners that manage to work without cheat pieces are always worth the love. Unless they're Build King, he was a piece of shit.
There's a lot more they could do though. The Aerialbots are still in decent condition. I have heard that the other scramble-combiners are pretty much worn out or missing.
But, honestly, I would rather seem some decent and 'serious' retoolings of the Energon combiners. Let's get Computron out here, or - heaven forbid - something really fanwanky like Liokaiser.
Ah well.. just wishful thinking. I just feel like that Savage got it right once, and seems utterly out of sync to get it right again.

If that's RID Landfill, yeah, basically. Would get a meh from me though.Cliffjumper wrote:The Railbots would work nicely as an exclusive, rather than retail (where the whole "no-one outside of Japan is /that/ interested in trains" thing comes into play, like with the RiD release).

Landfill isn't horrible, but he's not that great either. I'd love to get the Team Bullet train set, or even the Seacons! Heck, I'd take just about any Gestalt set I can get!:D (except Bruticus. I already have RiD Ruination) However, I wouldn't join the Collectors Club for this set.
Got a complaint?

It would be REALLY tricky to do Raiden's colors, since there's twice as many bots in Raiden and a much more varied palette. The arms would be difficult, as one is beige and the other dark green, for instance.toyworks wrote:and for my money you can never have too many bruticus redecos! Eight and counting! plus KOs! (can you tell hes my favoritest combiner ever?)

Ok. They're actually looking awesome.
I wonder if they'll be at all affordable without being a club member...
