Seacons and Nightbeat at TCC Club

[roller]

yes but, you can't really say that though.

They repainted Bruticus in R.I.D and in universe, that didn't cost $120 usd + shipping.

Stupid hasblows.

Exactly, they want to slit us into factions Evil Rich Scalper Collectors VS lowly loyal fan

All exclusive figures should be new characters not classic characters like Thrust, Dirge and Phiranacon

They think the world is America they forget us other fans, who have as much right as them to get Thundercracker etc

The Clown Seacons

AKA Universe Seacons

I wonder who chose these G2esque colours? A certain Mr Archer no doubt

I don't think Archer would have much of a say on what the TFCC does. I believe they chose those colours to differentiate the set from the "better looking and more likely to sell better as well" G1 Seacons.

Were there any G2 seacons?

The TFCC Seacon colours ARE the Universe colours that someone at Hasbro (possibly Archer at the time) put together about 4 years ago, hoping to get a US store to want them as a store exclusive. They couldn't 'find a home' for the (Universe) Seacons, so they were shelved. A small vocal minority of fans wanted to see them released, mostly because they had been teased with the painted pre-production figures of Gen1 TFs. The collector club eventually pursued the idea of releasing the Universe Seacons, in the same Universe colours, and ended up having 1500 sets of them done up, despite being stuck with heaps of Astrotrain toys that were produced for the same reason (vocal minority wanting a pre-production figure released).

BotCon toys and Membership toys are all coloured by the Club staff, but the Seacons and Astrotrain are essentially based on the colours they were originally going to have if they had actually been released as store exclusives a few years ago.

At least the mold exists and that means that there is a VERY remote possibility that Takara may reissue the G1 Seacons.

I was thinking that Takara did reissue (a version of) the Seacons in Beast Wars II... but then I realised that was actually 10 years ago. Yikes!

Which astrotrain do you mean? The TFC one or that big crappy armada repaint thing?
