I'd like bigger images, but I like that Silverbolt. I don't generally import, but I might make an exception in the off-chance that the polls go in Silverbolt's favor.

Goshooter uses Bumblebee's head.

Yes to all except The Fallen, Black Drift, and Camshaft (though I'd probably be guilt tripped into buying Cam if the other 2 Omnibots were made). Ah heck... just yes to them all. Classics rule.

My vote is for Go Shooter (on the condition he gets a retooled head) with Silverbolt a close second.

These are good choices for tie-in exclusives, but lets see an omnibot 3-pack outside of the Million umbrella, please.

Million Publishing exclusives are always straight redecos. Goshooter gets an existing head for that mold.

Going by my limited Japanese Alpha Trion's gun would be Vector Sigma (possibly the key), the Fallen uses the Ruination head, and Camshift uses some Tracks parts.

Personally I think Chevy Aveo Swerve makes a good Neon G1 red Omnibot.

Now that we have the larger/clearer images, I want the Omnibots more than before. I don't think the vehicle modes are perfect, by any means, but these clearly (to me) were chosen based on robot modes, and those robot modes look about as much as classics renditions of the originals as you can get with any of the classics molds currently available.
I'm all for it.

Snakas of Autobase Aichi has more info on this - http://snakas.blog95.fc2.com/blog-entry-3736.html

Fellow user BraveMax wrote the following about the info Snakas wrote:

BraveMax wrote:Snakas has more info up. This is from the Generations Book to be released this weekend. It's a vote for the next book's exclusive, who will figure prominently into part two of the "Train Wars" story. You vote for it when you send in the post card to buy Shouki.

These are all mockups (photoshops, I think), so some will vary from the final product.

Going down the list; his comments with addendums from what I can make out from the pic. I've got the book incoming soon, so I'll update when I get it in hand:

1. Alpha Trion from Scourge. Will come with Vector Sigma. The rest of it is hard for me to understand - I think it says the Vector Sigma will be a repaint of a Sparkbot? That or "the Vector Sigma that appropriated the Sparkbots" - so maybe some reference to a specific story?
2.The Fallen from FOC Onslaught. The combined mode head will be Ruination's, not Bruticus'.
3. Sunstreaker (Police Type) from Sunstreaker. It notes that this name is a placeholder, and says that he'll come with sirens and a partner.
4. Smokescreen from Smokescreen. Notes that it's using the same colors as the G2 Bomber - as in, the text below the picture does. So... Making that reference official?
5. Autobot Drift (Black Version) from Drift. Notes that this name is a placeholder.
6. Overdrive from Prowl. No notes.
7. Camshaft from Wheeljack. Notes that Tracks' weapons will also be included. (Snakas says it will use Tracks' weapons, but the picture says that "Tracks' parts will also be included.")
8. Downshift from Ironhide. No notes.
9. Metals Silverbolt from BH Grimwing. No notes.
10。GoShooter from "Goldbug Bumblebee" (IDW Bumblebee). Says the head will be Nightbeat's, and that it will come with his partner, Gou Shuuta, but that they haven't decided what toy that will be yet.

Snakas also notes that they're planning on including Microns and other forms of partners with all of these, though I haven't found that info in the pic yet.

Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on May 15th, 2014 @ 9:34am CDT

Hmmmm... I may know what some notes are actually saying:

1. The Sparkbots may refer to the Kiss Players Sparkbots, who are repaints of the BWII EggBeasts. All three transform into spheres, the exact shape of Vector Sigma. I think the EggBot is the most natural form Vector Sigma will take after transformation.

2. Ruination's head has the same kind of "mouth" as Dreamwave's The Fallen. So that could give way for possibilities, like the combination mentioned before.

6. So Overdrive comes with a lightbar? Odd.

7. I wonder which Tracks parts they'd use? The back and bumper bits?

10. Can't wait to see what they'll pick. If Daniel is anything to go by, probably another PCC Mini-Con.

Since Snakas said the weapons, probably those clip on guns Tracks had that Wheeljack replaced with wrenches.

I'm really digging the idea of getting the Omnibots finally in the "Classics" line. The mold choices for the repaints are definitely a lot more clever and well thought out than some people are giving credit for. My worry is that, even if we get one of them, we'll ONLY get that one. I'd love to get the Omnibots as a whole set. Does anyone thing Million Publishing would offer a gift set of them at a higher price than their exclusives usually sell for?

Agreed. Definitely want all 3, not just 1. Also, I'm not familiar with this Million Publishing thing; will we be able to buy these in the USA, without paying some ridiculous 2nd hand prices?

It's a Japanese Publishing company, so no. Maybe Hasbro or even the Club will take of the less complex ideas (SG Smokescreen anyone?)

Possibly. They sold the Skids and Screech 2 pack a little while ago.

Short answer, no. Long answer: Million Publishing are a Japanese company that publishes TF art books, as well as these Generations books, which are in-depth guides to TF product. They offer exclusives like this which, even in Japan, can only be purchased by buying the book, mailing in a post card that comes in the book, and waiting several months. As such, there certainly isn't an easy shortcut for those outside of Japan to get them.

Re: Better Image of Million Publishing Transformers Generations Exclusives Poll (1574420)
Posted by Sabrblade on May 15th, 2014 @ 3:57pm CDT

Yeah, Skids & Screech is the only multi-pack they've ever released. The following is a rundown of all they've released:

2009 - Gentei! Gentei! Electro Disruptor Ligier (Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1)
2009 - Gentei! Gentei! Starscream Ghost Version (Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 2)
2009 - Encore Skids & Screech Quantum Operative Ver. (Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3)
2011 - United Stepper (Transformers Generations 2011)
2011 - Animated Optimus Prime Elite Guard Version (Transformers Animated Encyclopedia)
2012 - United Artfire (Transformers Generations 2012)
2013 - Generations Infiltrator Starscream (Transformers Generations 2013)

And this year:

2014 - Generations Shouki (Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1)
2014 - The winner of this ten-figure poll (Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 2)

Lemme know if I missed any.

The ease of getting these varies I think. Obviously lots of people wanted Stepper and Artfire. The Skids and Screech set was less in demand.

Right...

I'm not all that into redecos of late and even I thought these were all awesome (except Alpha Trion...that idea sucks).

I think you should reconsider your opinion. Many of these are good ideas for redecos.

Every single one of these decos is now canon. All of them have appeared in the Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1 book's manga story called "Train Wars".

The Grimwing redeco of Silverbolt is supposed to represent an all new Transmetal 2 version of him, hence the toy's name being "Metals Silverbolt".

The page you posted is from the end of Volume 1, promoting Volume 2. The poll is to decide which of those figures is to be the exclusive for Volume 2.

And, yup, Volume 1's out. Some folks have gotten their copy and are reporting on the stuff that's inside it, such as the two manga stories "Train Wars" and Controverse".

"Train Wars" is set in the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity and ties in with last year's "Metrowars" manga stories.

"Controverse", from what's been said of it, seems to tie into the splinter timeline of Binaltech and Alternity, as many Binaltech, Alternity, and even Masterpiece characters appear in it.

The poll is about to it's half way point and the current front runners: Alpha Trion, GoShooter, Beast Wars Silverbolte, and Drift Black Version.

The full list:

Alpha Trion using the Generations Scourge mold
The Fallen using the Generations FoC Onslaught mold
Sunstreaker Police Type using the Universe Sunstreaker mold
Smokescreen using the Universe Smokescreen mold
Autobot Drift Black Version using the Generations Drift mold
Omnibot Overdrive using the Universe Smokescreen mold
Ominbot Camshaft using the Generations Wheeljack mold
Omnibot Downshift using the Universe Ironhide mold
Beast Wars Silverbolt using the Beast Hunters Grimwing mold
Goshooter using the Generations Goldfire mold

I like the touch of the chromed gun with A3 (Homage to the Key to Vector Sigma perhaps?)

Deadlock look's sweet...but I just wish I didn't feel like I'm looking at a G1 TFA Prowl

Fallen royally suck IMHO. :roll:

Omnibots are a nice idea, but they aren't exactly...exciting looking?

Smokescreen I don't get. Really. He's not the TFP deco, he's not the Armada deco, vaguely the Alt deco, but just kinda bleh.

Goshooter would give us a Siren to Hasbro's Nightbeat!

It's a white Sunstreaker....(Seriously, if I'm gonna buy a TF that turns into an awesome supercar, I want it to be brightly colored!)

Silverbolt takes the cake out of this lot. If he's given the Million publishing deal, I might pick him up. He's a LOT cooler then the previous.

Not yet. Not at the point in time that the story he (and all nine of the others) appear in takes place.

That's right. Even though there will only be one winner, all ten of these figures are canon. :-B

A little late on the alpha trion repaint. Better alternatives are coming. I already own a custom police sunstreaker. I would rather see the omnibots get new molds. The fallen already has an awesome figure from maketoys. I think silverbolt would be the best option. Only because funpub has been on a roll with beast wars figures, so why not keep em coming ?

This is a poll for the next exclusive to be included in Million Publishing's Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 2 book. Volume 1's exclusive is Shouki, while these ten are candidates to be voted upon by Japanese consumers for the Volume 2 toy.

Thus far, the top contenders in the poll are Goshooter, Metals Silverbolt, Alpha Trion, and Autobot Drift Black Ver.

But despite only one getting made, all ten of them appeared as canonical characters in one of the Volume 1 book's manga stories, so now I want all of them to get made.

WAHOO!! Goshooter won! Goshooter won! :DANCE:

Now we just need the other nine to also get made later on since all ten are now canon.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the others show up in later years, especially if they continue with 2 volumes a year.

I really hope that A3 comes to pass.

I hope they come to pass, I want my Omnibots :grin:

Speaking of Omnibots, a little correction: back in G1, Camshaft's and Downshift's names were switched for Japan, and here it's the same case. JP Camshaft or US Downshift (Wheeljack mold) is in 8th place and JP Downshift or US Camshaft (Ironhide mold) is in last place.

And just for fun I decided to add the percentages: 103.1%. Note I'm counting Smokescreen and Overdrive each as 2.9% as they're tied, not together. :-?
