I'm not sure about this. I'm joining the club next year and would like to get the most out of it.

I have Energon Hot Shot and he really isn't a good toy to begin with. His proportions were downright weird. From what I recall. So as much as I like Nightbeat I don't know how compelled I will be to get him. I think he's slightly larger than the Classic Deluxes too which would heavily count against him.

I think Siren looks to be an Energon Downshift repaint...but I can't see quite as clearly there.

I'll definitely get the comic though. It should be available thru "Fun Publications" for anyone who's looking for it to pre-order in the Diamond catalogue.
