Seacons and Nightbeat at TCC Club

[MV75]

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.

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