Transformers Collectors Club Pre-Orders are now online!

2012 Over-Run (AKA Runabout) TCC exclusive (1 pc)

Member Price - $54

Non-Member Price - $94

OVER-RUN® tries to pass himself off as a suave connoisseur of fine things. It’s not a façade he can really maintain for long, less because of his generally low intelligence and more because his interest in beautiful objects starts and ends with “blow them up!” His drive to seem sophisticated is in direct conflict with his enthusiastic love of explosions and action. The former is almost always on the losing side of that battle. He’s not interested in the DECEPTICONS’® plans for conquest; he’s just with them because of the greater opportunities for his kind of fun. He’s always on the move, looking to create a bigger fireball, a larger bomb crater, and generally cram every microsecond with action!

Over-Run is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Wings Universe and is Runamuck’s demolition partner. Over-Run utilizes one of the extremely popular “Classics” molds and features an all-new head sculpt by Dan Khanna and Paul Brooks. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display.

Non-membership price ($40 domestic) includes 6 bi-monthly full color magazines and 2012 Free membership incentive figure (ships Spring 2012).

2012 Shattered Glass Drift TCC exclusive (1 pc)

Member Price - $49

Non-Member Price - $89

Even amongst the villainous hordes of the Evil AUTOBOTS ®, DRIFT is considered the most brutal. Laws and morality have no stay with him, only money and profit. And occasionally thrills. He’d blast his own batch initiators if he were paid for the job. Or if he thought it might be fun. Typically given free rein by the AUTOBOT ® leader, OPTIMUS PRIME ®, to complete his objectives, DRIFT’S methods of taking out his targets are only limited by his imagination. In other words, they are almost boundless. The mercenary relishes dreaming of new ways of taking out his marks, and logging them when he reboots in the morning. Regardless of the elaborate traps he might set, he always ensures that he is there at the final move, with his finger on the trigger or his hand on the blade. ??

Drift is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Shattered Glass Universe. This “Bot of Banter” utilizes one of the extremely popular “Classics” molds and comes with a selection of weapons. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display

UPDATE: The Transformers Collectors Club store went down due to too many orders

The Transformers Collectors Club have revealed today that they have renamed Runabout as Over-run due to legal reasons.  Here is a copy of their tweets on the subject.

"Runabout" reveal TODAY but before that want 2 give every1 a heads up. On the package he will NOT b called Runabout. Name was NOT available.

From a product standpoint we had to go with the name "Over-Run"... We could have searched out other names CLOSER to Runabout BUT that would have delayed us getting this guy to you all SOONER rather than later. Just all the way the schedule worked out.

Anyways, Over-Run AKA Runabout will be up later today at The Official Transformers Collectors' Club

The Transformers Collectors Club have updated their website with two photoshopped images of the mock-up of their exclusive Runabout.  You can view the page here.

The next issue of the TCC Magazine will begin shipping in the next couple of days, but the cover can be seen right now! Click the story thumbnail to see the incredible cover done by Matt Frank (the artist behind this years Hall of Fame Waspinator profile art). In this great scene created just for the TCC Magazine, we can see there is a bit of a disagreement between Beast Wars Waspinator and Animated Waspinator as to whom actually receives the trophy for "Waspinator's" induction in to the Transformers Hall of Fame!

The Transformers Collectors Club has been updated with information on the September issue

Issue 40 will give club members a detailed look at BotCon 2011 and the Transformers Hall of Fame as well as ALL-NEW MTMTE character profiles, an interview with Transformers Prime Voice Actor Steven Blum, Part 4 of the ongoing comic "Transformers: Battle Lines" and more!
