TFNation have announced that their 2017 convention will feature an exclusive figure release! They have teamed up with third party Maas Toys to offer Rune, a version of the Botcon character Glyph!
Here’s a brief description of the product:
The TFNation crew is thrilled to welcome our first ever exclusive toy in the form of MAAS TOYS CT00TFN, a Cybertronian-styled imagining of G1 Glyph, better known to her new friends as RUNE!
RUNE stands 4.7″/12CM in bot mode and features twenty-eight points of articulation and comes housed in awesome artwork by our own Ed Pirrie.
An exclusive figure is something we have long considered at TFNation and we are very grateful to the team at MAAS TOYS for working with us to make this happen.
The figure will be on sale at TFNation, at our merch desk, for £34.99.
TFNation 2017 will be taking place over the weekend of August 11 – 13, 2017, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole in Birmingham in the UK. Guests will include voice actors Venus Terzo (Beast Wars Blackarachnia), Hal Rayle (Generation 1 Snarl and Shrapnel) and Maggie Roswell (Maude Flanders), and Mark Ryan (Movie Bumblebee, Jetfire, Bulldog, and Lockdown), artists Geoff Senior, Stephen Baskerville, Alex Milne, Jack Lawrence, Kei Zama, and Sara Pitre-Durocher, colourists Josh Perez and John-Paul Bove, writer & artist Nick Roche, fan-favourite writer James Roberts, and last but by no means least, Transformers creators and writers Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman. Check out the TFNation homepage for more information.

Normally I never care about any news cred, but I I think I deserve a bit this time. I posted up info yesterday. now granted it was in the 3P thread and I even linked into the convention thread as well. Just sayin. Can I please get a shared news credit?

Probably not. He's been trolling everywhere, like the thread about the Takara releases of the wave 3 movie figures. He very well could be calling the entire Glyph announcement fake, because it fits his previous postings.

The only review I saw mentioned some of the tolerances were a bit loose but that the mould is generally pretty solid. It seems like a pretty good first release from MAAS Toys.

Skiff came with both a regular face and a placeplate.

I suck at photoshop…would someone be kind enough to shell this with Gobot Pathfinder colors? Please
Requiem Prime
Did they redesign her face scuplt?
primalxconvoy
On a positive note, the value is probably bloody good then, plus MP BB was arguably the same size as Classics BB, so it could still be a CHUG figure.
However, for me, it's not Glyph unless she's got her faceplate, I'm afraid…

Yeah…I'm wondering how Tap Out would look…could someone do a digibash?Thanks.
grimtnt
Of course it's fake, it's a digibash
I asked above it IF there's was any chance we'd get something like it,
I put the digibash in to show it looked good as cosmos

Not sure about the blue one but the mold has been released as Bumblebee, Goldbug & Bugbite already.
AMG
That is awesome. I want one.
Heliblade
Does this mean Tap-Out is next?
Requiem Prime
Has anyone messed up this toy yet? I'm lamenting tracking down something and not even sure is any good.
Scott_XIII
This is why we have the quote system, to stop wollys like me looking like wollys.
DeletedUser_119270
He replied to me about Cosmos.Look above.

What's fake? This figure will be at TFN.
