The Transformers Collectors Club’s membership exclusive for 2013 – Depth Charge – has had his bio card posted on the official Transformers Facebook page. The bio paints an interesting story for this version of Depth Charge – he is a character who, after incarcerating Protoform X aka Rampage, returns to a Cybertron ravaged by war and is sent on a mission to hunt down Maximal traitors – a hunt that leads him to the world of the Transtechs, Axiom Nexus. It is therefore not entirely clear if this is meant to be the same Depth Charge from pre-Beast Wars on a dimension hopping journey, or a different incanation from another part of the Transformers multiverse.
Of course, one could say that does not matter since he’ll be whatever you want him to be once he arrives in your collection. To get Depth Charge, you need to be an active member of the Transformers Collector’s Club by 16 March, that is a little over two weeks away. Find out more and sign up over at the Transformers Collector’s Club homepage.

Interesting story so far…
yes! that'd be so great.

I thought that was just for Botcon toys. I don't recall them saying anything about FSS & Club Membership figures. And with the way FunPub operates, unless it's specifically, officially announced that they will never touch AEC molds for anything (including FSS) they do, it's still in the realm of possibility.

No AEC toolings anymore so as good as he maybe he's not an option anymore.
StarLurker
On the subject of Cybertron Menasor as Rampage… I would rather that mold be used for Inferno some time down the road. Just compare it to TM Inferno/Scavenger!
Primal Sabbath
Oh dude that sucks! Although I don't see why the FSS wouldn't be one of those Ehobby/TFCC shared exclusive things. Those two figures were definitely the selling point of the service to me.
[Wing_Saber-X]
yup, that's the main reason why I couldn't justify being a TFCC member.
Also, there is the little problem of also getting G2 Classics Scourge and Ultra Mammoth. :
Primal Sabbath
You missed out on the Figure Subscription Service bro. This year there were 6 made-to-order figures that went on sale back in like November or so last year and the 6 of them will ship throughout the year along with Depthcharge. Just keep an eye on the newsfeed of this and various other sites during Botcon so you can check out what the next FSS will be, if they decide to do it again.
Primal Sabbath
Lol yeah. The club has international membership for $82 (which I find to be a bit ridiculous, honestly), so I guess your best bet would be BBTS or the boards. But who knows? Maybe with the TFCC/Ehobby partnership thing going on Ehobby can have some of these made for folks on the eastern side of the world, unless that was a one-off thing they did, which I certainly hope not.

Does anyone know the two figures that are coming to the tf club, other depth Charge.
[Wing_Saber-X]
Haha, yeah, thanks for the tip, man. Appreciate it. :
……. Although there is just one problem: I live in Asia…so the shipping is going to kill me one way or the other.
Primal Sabbath
The cheapest option is still becoming a member. $42 for Depthcharge, 6 magazines with, IMO, a really good comic story, and discounts on Botcon (if you so choose to go), and even preorders for the latest retail items at cheaper costs than BBTS, TFSource, etc… is ideally the better of any options. Even on the boards you're looking at $55-$65 shipped for one.
[Wing_Saber-X]
^ how bout the option of getting it from a fellow boardie?
Sharpfinger
Let's see 2014 exclusives… your wishes can be granted.
Don't want to hunt Depth Charge. You can:
Of course… if you want to go to e-bay and hunt him there… is your choice.
Escargon
I know scale doesn't exist, but still I'd have them ideally the same size.
Boy Blunder
Scale? HA! The franchise laughs at your scale!
Also, I always saw Rampage as being bigger than Depth Charge, ideally. Adds more to their dynamic.
Escargon
Wrong.
Cybertron Unicron all the way, yo.
Ra88
Could use Prime Shockwave for Rampage. Bulky, and the claws on his shoulders can simulate the original crab legs. Even the giant spinning cannon fits him.
[Wing_Saber-X]
glorious. Now to hunt one down…
TFW10
I saw this yesterday.
Escargon
That wouldn't work, Menasor is huge compared to Terradive. In the show they're around the same size.
