Fun Publications have sent out an email letting TFCC club members know that they can start ordering the TFCC Subscription Service 2.0 figures between now and mid-night (Eastern) on October 17th.  They have also confirmed that the total price will be $279 which is $3 less than last years subscription price.  You can order the figures from The Official Transformers Collectors' Club.

Thanks to Twitter user pile_of_butts for revealing that the latest Transformers Collectors Club Subscription Figure who is shipping is the Generation One Breakdown toy.

Having preview the latest TFCC Subscription figure Thrustinator yesterday in comic format, the Transformers Collectors Club have now posted a mock-up of the toy which you can view below.

The figure is a redeco of the Beast Wars II Dirgegun toy but with a new head.

The Transformers Collectors' Club have updated their website (which is currently offline) with photographs of 2014 figures Rampage (Protoform X), Transmutate as well as a small image of Treadshot. Rampage is a remould of Transformers Prime First Edition Deluxe Megatron, complete with a new head, whilst Transmutate is a redeco of Arcee. The image of Treadshot is very small but he is a repaint of the Generations Warpath and will be part of the second line of Subscription Service toys whislt Rampage is the 2014 membership incentive figure, leaving Transmutate as a 2014 club store exclusive.

The Transformers Collectors Club announced their two exclusive figures for this year will be Protoform X  (a recolour of Transformers Prime First Edition Megatron) and Transmutate (a recolour of Transformers Prime First Edition Arcee)

Also annouced were three of the six figures of the Subscription service (that servie in which fans wait and wait for the exclusive figures to be made).  Series 2 of this line include

- Chromedome from Transformers Prime Wheeljack, will feature a new head.
- Action Master Treadshot from Generations Warpath

E-Hobby have updated their pre-order page for their upcoming Transformers Classics Magnificus figure with a sneak peak as some artwork from the comic that will accompany the figure. The comic cover, which can be seen below, uses a?”Wild West" wanted poster style, with the picture of Magnificus being torn by an unseen human hand.  The Transformers Collectors Club will be stocking the figure for fans outside of Japan pricing him at $90 plus shipping.

The latest issue of the Transformers Collectors Club Magazine features an image of upcoming Generations Hoist figure.  Whilst the final figure will most likely vary from the stock image, it does give us all a good look at the molding differences to Trailcutter (Trailbreaker) including the wonderful head homage. The scan is from Optibtimus on Twitter.

Good news for non-US / Japanese residents as the e-Hobby and TFCC Solar Requiem sets are now arriving to members around the world. We received our set yesterday as you can see below,

TFCC have revealed the bio for their 2013 Subscription figure Depth Charge. The profile, which can be viewed below, reads as:

Strength: 9
Intelligence: 10
Speed: 8
Endurance: 9
Rank: 7
Courage: 10
Fireblast: 6
Skill: 9

"It's not revenge I'm looking for. It's justice."

Magnificently sweeping through the darkness with regal silence, a hunter trails his prey.  Defender, pursuer, and if need be, judge; DEPTH CHARGE acts swiftly and with unquestioning resolve. He holds tightly to a desire for justice, even if he despenses that justice himself.

After tracking down and incarcerating the murderous Protofom X, DEPTH CHARGE returned to a CYBERTRON torn apart by war. Aging masters forced the next generation of soldiers into battle, in the name of "The Cause".  Death haunted every street. Injustice was abound. Depth Charge was tasked with a mission to hunt down two deserters from the MAXIMAL ranks who had dispatched their commanding officer, and consorted with the enemy in an attempt to use experimental transwarp drive technology to flee the planet. Retracing their steps with his own transwarp device, the MAXIMAL soon found their escape route. It was not to another planet, but to another Universe: one which the Transtech call home

The Botcon website has been updated with the first image of Botcon 2013 Machine Wars Skywarp. You can view the image below,

You can compare this updated version to the original figure by checking out our gallery of Machine Wars Skywarp.  On their Twitter page Pete Sinclair tweeted out that this years set will be both a homage and an upgrade for the figures after there were some questions raised regarding the figures

Pete Sinclair of the Transformers Collectors Club has dropped by The Allspark to talk about the possibility of recolouring the just-announced Botcon 2013 Machine Wars Hoist figure into Hubcap as well as a G2 inspired Electro.  Pete posted "Friday tidbit for the Allsparkers... We are NOT doing Hubcap AND Electro at BotCon. Nobody gets more than one repaint at the show. IF we offer a repaint of Hoist it will clearly be THAT character."

You can find his original post, as well as the comments from the Allspark forum members here.

Hasbro's Facebook page was updated yesterday with an image of the first Botcon 2013 Machine Wars figure in the guise of Hoist who is a recolour of Transformers Generations Sgt Kup with a new head sculpt.

TFW2005.com board member Masabon has posted some images of the just released e-Hobby and TFCC exclusive G1 Shattered Glass Soundwave Vs Blaster giftset. You can view the images here.

The official Transformers Collectors' Club have posted several tweets to try to give some clarification regarding the recent "Beast Wars Shattered Glass" comic preview which was posted online.  In the tweets the group stated "Lets clear up some things about the 2013 story BEAST WARS Shattered Glass... The SG Universe is now home to Classics Earth. Along with Classics earth, a few dozen Heroic Autobots and Evil Decepticons now reside in the Shattered Glass Universe. BEAST WARS Shattered Glass takes place in the distant past on Shattered Glass Earth and features the Heroic Maximals led by Ultra Mammoth Fighting against the Evil Predacons. WHO these Preds are will be revealed in Issue 49. The story focuses on the Classics characters. However, with this story taking place ON Shattered Glass Earth, there may be some cool twists..."

Hasbro's Official Transformers Facebook Page has updated with a preview page from the Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine's 2013 comic book.

Issue 49 of The TRANSFORMERS COLLECTORS' CLUB MAGAZINE kicks off the new year in a BIG way with the debut of a NEW team of Maximals led by Ultra Mammoth! The all-new ongoing comic story "Beast Wars Shattered Glass" is featured exclusively in the TCC Magazine. Check out the preview below. And for more information on the TRANSFORMERS COLLECTORS' CLUB be sure to visit http://transformersclub.com/

It would appear that the story takes place after the "A Flash Forward" epilogue comic (part 1 | part 2) - Classics Ultra Magnus, Ironhide, Silverbolt, Prowl, and Grimlock have landed somewhere in the Shattered Glass universe... possibly in the distant past.
