TFSS 5.0 Is Live For Members

[griffin]

Grand scourge doesn't count in my CW.... But anyway he has a set of Butkus limbs here...

Scattorshot has a set of Computron limbs....

And I did a proper magnaboss...

So I have 6 leftover limbs and 2 bodies.... Rook, alpha b, Offroad, terrorsaur, that's galvatronus done...,

7 and still sealed Botcon ratchet can go sit with prime...

The Scattershot that was sold on its own didn't have Technobot limbs, so I was using it for various Club Deluxe limbs (currently has Fractyl, Bluestreak and Impactor).

I guess if you are only looking at Hasbro toys, and include the BW Magnaboss trio (Voyager Silverbolt, DLX Ironhide, DLX Prowl), it would leave you with one spare Voyager and a combiner missing a limb.

When the last three Subscription toys arrive, I will do up some photos and do a complete rundown of all the different Hasbro and TakaraTomy Combiners.
When they do get here, I will have 17 full Hasbro combiners with one Voyager and one Deluxe spare... and 10 full TakaraTomy combiners with one Voyager spare.

Final TFSS 5.0 shipment arrived today. So sad, so sad.

What's with the Voldomort'ing?

I got mine today and all I can say is.... ugh.

The fin began when my plan to have 2 salvageable sealed set with a decent mailer box went out the window when some idiot slapped the invoice envelope sticker down on the lower box- even at the end, it never ceases to amaze how a collector's club can't get their head around collector expectations of packing or that some people are getting multiples to keep things sealed where the packaging matters as much as the figures. When I wind up having to damage cardboard to remove tape- all because they're too stingy to put the mailers in a larger posting box, then it just goes to show that Hasbro taking the reigns will be a massive improvement.

With the exception of Toxitron, the other two are honestly so so. The deco on Counterpunch is ok, but there's a problem with getting the chestplate to lock in place in vehicle mode which isn't there on Breakdown.

Then there's the 7th figure which I don't know if we're still treating as a spoiler, but there are issues. I can see what they were aiming for with the deco, but the white is too bright imho and throws the whole thing off - a slightly dull white would have looked so much better.

As for Modulus- really Funpub?

You're making the requirements for it 2 copies of the 2016 custom class figure (guessing we're not talking about TT Ratchet in those instructions). How many people are even going to be able to make that combiner?

Seriously, why not Alpha Bravo or Offroad, given that the official combination for Wreckage is apparently Toxitron, Bluestreak, Impactor, Fractyl and Counterpunch?

Honestly, at this point, bring on the new Hasbro club.

My version of Modulus is Scattershot for the torso, Groove and Wildrider (or whatever his name is now) for legs and Fig 7/Alpha Bravo for the arms

[CHILENO20]

I'm making my version of Betatron. Use Scattershot as the body, the 7th figure whom I've repurposed as Rescaté for the right arm, Dogfight as the weapon and two of the customs I've done (Highjump and Slapdash) as the legs. Will hopefully soon start working on the final custom for the left arm.

Ok people...... THAT'S A WRAP!!!

Aka... THEY'RE HERE!!!!

What the hell funpub..... MODULUS???

Looks like, no ones opened 7s instructions... Coz no-one has mentioned the suggested combiner.... Ratchet, rook, Medix, Scattorshot and 7

Griffin, can you make Modulus up when your box arrives

I came across this old topic while looking for something else, so thought I had better respond (eventually) to the query.

Walky on the Allspark site posted up his version of Modulus, but it included the Gen2 Ratchet, instead of a Gen1 Hasbro Ratchet (as per the instructions that you can see at that Allspark link)... here is one I put together tonight.



For those like me who are unfamiliar with Combiner Modulus, it was the "possible suggestion" on the instructions for the Subscription SG Starscream toy, made up of Scattershot (single pack version), Gen1 Ratchet (Custom Class or JP version), Rook (for those who bought the Groove toy and had Rook left over from the Defensor combiner), Medix (BotCon 2016 custom class toy), and Shattered Glass Starscream (Subscription toy).
Surprisingly, TFwiki doesn't actually have a page for Modulus yet, even though I would have thought it was probably some of their team would have been involved in the Subscription toy universe, like they do with other Club stories and characters.
But I did find this regular wiki page with some info on this (final?) combiner.

What's with the Voldomort'ing?

Well, now that these toys are out, and any Australians on the subscription service should now have them, the fifth subscription series had...
- Lifeline (w/ Quickslinger), Fractyl & Scorponok
- Optimus Prime (w/ HiQ & shell), Megatron (w/ Spacewarp & shell)
- Toxitron (forms Wreckage), Counterpunch, SG Starscream (the mystery toy)

I should do a group photo of the set, as I haven't been able to find one online yet. I guess by the time this whole FunPub drama dragged out to a last gasp, there weren't too many people who cared anymore.
