Revision as of 18:35, 25 July 2020

The Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club was, naturally enough, the officially licensed fan club for the Transformers brand.

3H Productions

The first iteration of the fan club began during 3H Productions' tenure as the convention license holder. Initial efforts to get the fan club going were largely ineffectual. A single magazine issue saw publication. This version of the fan club essentially dissolved when 3H lost their license from Hasbro in 2004.

Fun Publications

Fun Publications TFCC logo, 2005-2014.

In 2005, the fan club license was acquired (along with the official convention rights) by Fun Publications. Fun Pub immediately launched a new web site to raise interest in the reformatted club, and would actively post news, updates, and new features. The club web site was closely tied to that of BotCon as well. After Fun Publications lost the Transformers fan club license at the end of 2016, they spent a transitional year liquidating merchandise (including TFSS products). They would sell said merchandise for extremely discounted prices, with no membership required. Some examples include the exclusive freebie figure Ramjet, for $4 and the BotCon 2013 set for $77.

Membership

Membership for United States fans started at $42 for one year. Rates were higher for international fans or quicker postage. Benefits with a 1-year membership included:

  • 12 issues of Fun Publications' Master Collector newsprint classifieds (discontinued January 2010)
  • Six issues of the Transformers Collectors' Club Official Magazine, each including an issue of the club comic.
  • An exclusive Transformers figure, free with each year's paid membership (see below).
  • Access to the Collectors' Club store and the ability to buy Collectors' Club exclusive toys.
  • Access to the Collectors' Club Forums (discontinued in early 2012)
  • Member-exclusive content on the Collectors' Club website, including exclusive Timelines fiction and various character bios.
  • Discounts on BotCon preregistration

Exclusive figures

With each year of a paid subscription, a subscriber was given one free Transformers figure. The first five years built up to an exclusive combiner, Nexus Maximus. After that, the characters used could be found in the current stories told by Fun Publications.

NSFW: Not Safe for Wallet

Exclusive figures

Further, members had the ability to purchase exclusive figures in the Collectors' Club store starting in 2007. They also often tied in with the current fiction. Several times, the exclusive figure would tie in with the free one, either in fiction or mold re-use. Or both.

Everyone wants him, few can have him.

Club crossovers

Starting in 2015, Fun Publications began a crossover with the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club to make crossover toys. These toys included:

Old Snake and B.A.T.

Transformers Figure Subscription Service

Starting in 2012, the Transformers Figure Subscription Service (TFSS) was introduced, where six exclusive figures were offered at cheaper prices. In the final two years, the service went for broke and introduced two more exclusive combiners: Thunder Mayhem and Wreckage. Both were used in one of the final story lines from Fun Publications, Of Masters and Mayhem.

TFSS 1.0 (2013)
Scourge

TFSS 2.0 (2014)
Fisitron

TFSS 3.0 (2015)
Serpent O.R.

TFSS 4.0 (2016)
Thunder Mayhem

TFSS 5.0 (2017)
Double Pretender Optimus Prime and Hi-Q
