Pretty sure this hasn't been posted yet, someone at TFClub got their hands on the upcoming TFCC Punch/Counterpunch toy, and took some photos of it, including the new head.

My comments: I don't know if it is the final version/production or not, because it looks like to me the allegiance symbols on his robot seems to be stickers, and his head in my opinion lacks/does not have enough paint. Plus the head seems small, still awesome though
Looks good, I bet it costs a fair bikkie
As time goes by I fear that there won't be another run of P/CPs made :(
I'm liking this! :cool:
But as for getting my hands on one...:(
I know. But there is always hope.Quote:

I'll be on the look out for anymore I can get, either legally or not.
Such a perfect mold.
hmm... i must be the only one not liking this at all.
im kinda glad now that Tets mistook my order and only got me 1 instead of 2.
The Punch face isn't painted too well (yellow just splashed on, covering the eyes and sides of the head). Hope that's more accurately done on the one I get.
I've said before how I really like the blue, and I think Hasbro would be foolish not to do their own version of Punch/Counterpunch from this mould. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't already considered as a future redeco/remould when they first designed it to accomodate Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. (each time they preliminarily plan a toy, they often outline potential redecos, so that they can see if they need to build the alternative heads/parts for it, or to prioritise redeco fodder, like the Seeker mould)
I'm looking forward to getting mine, and I don't give a toss if Hasbro do make their own, I'd probably buy it too as it might have a better head gimmick.
I am not confident of Hasbro ever mass releasing this toy. The designers may have considered Punch/Counterpunch during the design process of the mold but I doubt that registers with the Hasbro marketing and administrative staff who are the ones who call the shots on what is a good idea and what isn't.
Meh, look at thrust.
Thrust is a more obvious release than P/CP but never mind we shall see.Quote:

Is Punch that desperate to be shot in the head by Decepticons?
Well, only those who know Punch and Counterpunch are the same person would recognise what it means. Everyone else, including the Decepticons, would just think it is a standard number-plate of random letters.
I read that as Centre when shorted like that, not CounterQuote:

Except that apparently both Punch and Counterpunch have not only the same altmode, but also exactly the same number plate in vehicle mode. And it's personalised for both his personalities.Quote:

Yeah, my point was that it was one thing for them to just transform into the same type of blue car, which was almost plausible - now they transform into the same type of car with the same giveaway vanity licence plate.Quote:

I always thought PCP was one of the coolest G1 characters when I was a kid. Such a memorable character, despite his minimal screen time :p
Are there any other transformers (G1 and beyond) that have two robot modes like PCP?
Anyhow, it's great to see a modern rendition of one of my fav characters. If this were a universe deluxe release, I'd probably buy one.
In G1 Doubledealer is probably the closest but one of his robot modes isn't humanoid. A contemporary toy who also has the same 'disguise' mode is Animated Shockwave.Quote:

Maybe Transformers dont check the license pates. Until one day, which will be C/CP's downfall!
Hopefully Reprolabels will release a replacement number plate sticker.Quote:
