Pete has let us know that new images have been posted at the Transformers Collectors’ Club website, showing us the two new club exclusives in detail.
The new Shattered Glass Cyclonus’ bio reads:
Cyclonus has always found loyalty to be merely a means to an end. However, the war has changed and Cyclonus may have changed as well. With the help of his new Targetmaster, Krunix, Cyclonus seeks to leave his old ways behind so that he can once again be deemed a worthy soldier in the Decepticon ranks.and Punch/Counterpunch’s:
Many in the espionage world put on a second name to hide who they truly are from their enemy. Punch takes it a step further, not only donning a new name, but a new face and body as well! This second persona lets him get close to his enemy, accomplishing his missions without the Decepticons being any the wiser.Click above to view all images.

MrFX
You're better off not seeing it. It was a flustercluck.
bellpeppers
Really? I never saw that.
Insane Galvatron
Basically, everybody who ever painted a P/CP custom was screaming "They took my idea" when this toy was announced. He's saying we need not play that game again.
bellpeppers
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Rotorstorm
lol for the price they could have gotten Hasbro to paint Cyclonus' face.
MrFX
As soon as they start pre-orders, I think I'm going to pick up one for myself and a 2nd one for a b-day gift for a friend.
Jarodimus
That's so crazy it JUST MIGHT WORK.

I can't hardly wait!

You mean they're lifting an idea from EVERYONE. A car that turns into two robots? Who would ever think to repaint it into the car that turned into two robots?
Besides, we already did the whole "DEY TURK MAH EYEDEER!" bit when P/CP was announced way back when.

Cyclonus is giving out a Hot Rod/Rodimus vibe. Nice!

How funny- HASBRO is lifting an idea from Radicons:

i still say Cyclonus's targetmaster should have been given the alternate name of Nightstick

Place the engine on top of the gun, and fold the intakes down. It's not particulary secure, but Swipe and Streaker's can do the same thing.
Closer to G1 P/CP, but looks a bit odd on this mold. Not too keen on the black strakes before the windscreen either. Still a definite buy though!
Cyclonus probably not, I've got Strafe, and am trying to stop buying irrelevant repaints. Not into SG, so where would he go?
Can any non-US members tell me how the comics/figure are sent, i.e. which postal option? I'm guessing Priority, or First Class Airmail.

new show
I hope we get Punch/Counterpunch in the new show. Or some one like him in the show. Like how they did with Shockwave in TFA.

I'd have to say it's because most of us are in the US so buying an exclusive means you pretty much pay to be in the club. I understand that you are in Canada so it may still cost you $40 more if you're not a member but the cost of membership for you is a lot higher than $40
For the people who don't care for this year's club exclusive, maybe they can buy P/CP after March 16th, which would make them eliagable for next years exclusive and hopefully that one is better.
I for one am stoked to be in the club again. $40 for a free figure and the perks of the pretty sweet exclusives is really starting to pick up. I bought 2 of my friends the Seacons, which meant shipping was reduced for me because I bought 3 sets and a Nightbeat at the same time, good deal.
I'm not sold on SG Cyc but the club free fig is growing on me and P/CP is a must, maybe get 2 actually
YoungPrime
…..YEAH JUST LOOKED ON EBAY.
THING IS HE'LL END UP GREEN IF I PAINT SUNSTREAKER
AND PURPLE IF I PAINT ANOTHER SIDESWIPE….
THE LACK OF NEW CLASSICS IS THE REASON THEY GET AWAY WITH PRICE GOUGING REPAINTS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
FOR THAT KIND OF BREAD I'LL JUST PASS ON TRANSFORMERS ALL TOGETHER AND FOCUS MORE ON PS3,360 AND Wii GAMES.
