The Transformers Collectors’ Club has revealed pictures of the previously announced Subscription Service 2.0 figure Fisitron. Fisitron uses the recent Fall of Cybertron Swindle/ Roadbuster mold and according to the Collectors’ Club’s website will be able to combine with Ruination. These images join the previously revealed mockups of Treadshot and Barricade, and the turnarounds of Chromedome’s head. One thing to keep in mind is that these images are mockups and may change in the final release version.
Check out the images and learn more about the Subscription Service by visiting the Transformers Collector’s Club homepage.Also, if you missed out on the Transformers Figure Subscription Service and still need to add Slipstream to your collection, she’s now available in the club store at the low price of $69. Grab this figure quickly, because she’s sure to be sold out soon.
Purchase your Slipstream now!
UPDATE: It would appear the TFCC posted the wrong image earlier, so we’ve updated with the NEW mockup of Fisitron. Take a look at the images and see if you are a fan of the most recent images.

hmmm… that's not a bad idea… i still wonder why they didn't just make him Rotorstorm in the first place, and give him a different head. Whirl had to at least be in the early concepts stages, so it seems redundant… oh well
well… yes, that's true. but you know what i mean. the term "fan fiction" just has this negative connotation to it generally (valid or not is irrelevant) and i hate when people don't watch a show, read a book, etc and then say "oh, it's bad." it's uninformed, at best.
Bogatan
Looking at Topspins head and it has a certain Rotorstorm like quality to it. Wonder how easy to fit it on to Whirl.
Well it is a fan, writing fiction,
It's fiction that rewards the fan,
so………. in the best possible way…..
Lumpy
yeah, how dare the club do a small run just for fans! fuck that! smh…
even if they don't, i'm just going to call that Whirl Rotorstorm, since we have a different Whirl coming out soon.
you can consider it whatever you want, but it's not fan fiction, it's official story bro, and you're missing out since you apparently don't read what is arguably the BEST TF Fiction in years, of any medium.

I love Ironfist as a character. I'm yet to be impressed by any toy (except maybe G1, but I'd prefer a decent modern version).
RedAlert Rescue
Considering how expensive TFCC toys are it seems like a less that ideal solution for any perception of "added value" to regularly use many of the moulds from the recent "tiny and naff" era (most typified by 2013 Generations).
I suppose they give themselves a get a out jail free card this time as the idea of an additional/alternative addition to the Ruination combiner has some small appeal. It does make me wonder though do they intend to use other versions of those moulds as Autobots too with perhaps the intention of making a whole new combiner ? or would they mix and match them with Decepticons if/when reusing them.
I would however have liked the toy to have one of the new mould weapons though if that was feasible especially as Ironfist is known for his huge rotary feed Lightformers cannon.
As for the colours I would imagine some would see some merit in the character remaining consistent with the G1 Ironfist toy and the Animated Fistitron toy rather than being a different colour to them. however the counter argument of grey not looking like Swindle is also a compelling one. (relevance to IDW is not a factor for me as I don't follow or care one jot about anything IDW says or does to me it's just 'Fanfiction' with pictures).
Cast
I like it but as other have said I'd like it even more in the LSotW colors, so we only have one unconfirmed DLX and the scout to to go?
I don't know if either of these will be in the set but I see FoC vortex/whirl with a new head as rotorstorm in our future and possible Onslught/Impactor as Pyro.
Spider 001
I'd really like to get another repaint of this mold but the inflated club prices are just plain STUPID!!! FUCK EXCLUSIVES!
D-Unit
He looks good. I'm not as much of a fan of the character as a lot of people are, but this is a pretty good representation until they make a true CHUG one
Lumpy
Josh and WhiteMocha, tag team action, and I'll be their manager, OOH YEAH!!!
Bumblebee765
He looks awesome!!! Love that he used a Fall of Cybertron mold; makes him easier to integrate with the other six (including Ultra Magnus ) already released.
Kaijumaster
I'm not crazy right? Josh SHOULD be in charge of tfcc and maybe even Hasbro repaints right?

I definitely like the newer mockup than the older one just because the feet went from green to blue.
For a figure that I find lacking I had to start working on something to improve it.

I think taking the EG symbol off was a smart move. Mainly because non of the other Wreckers have that symbol. However, I liked the teal feet better.
RayTheSun
I think this mold is decent. It's a serviceable limb and is versatile enough to be used for a number of characters.
Not Ironfist, though. Ironfist is different. Ironfist deserves better than 'a serviceable limb'.
Digilaut
Looks good to me, but I too would have preferred a colorscheme that at least has
White/tan paintapps on him. They could have done so on the chest. Now it's too close to Swindle for me.
But I think this mold works, even the head.
Easy Tiger
I think we have our 'best in show'.
I agree with Bogatan, the shoulders make a world of difference.
Josh
yah I did a "wishful thinking" digi-bash in comic colors. I'm sure its a bit more paint than can be allowed what with those shoulders and stuff but…
Not that i'm hating on what we've seen by any means!! Fisitrons gonna look great with my other wreckers no matter what
tikgnat
Fistitron eh?
Kinky.
