Yeah, Omega Hand is... not great, to say the least.

And, sadly it cannot attach to the MP-10 mold.

I mean, for a dumb random mode they just made up on the spot, its good enough. It is a shame it can't attach to anything though.

Who's up for solving a mystery?

In these Selects comics, the seven planets protected by a different Order belonging to the Primus Vanguard are inhabited both by members of each Order and what can be called "civilian" inhabitants.

To give some examples, on the Blue Planet are the Blue Order and the Beast People (pre-Beastformers/Battle Beasts). On the Green Planet are the Green Order and local fauna based on the beast modes of the Beast Wars Fuzors. On the Purple Planet are the Purple Order and genetic experiments based on the Pretender Monsters.

On the White Planet, however, are the members of the White Order and... something else. Folks elsewhere are trying to identify what these things might be and need some help. These things resemble little smiley-faced people dressed in snow parkas. We're wondering if they might be some obscure spinoff thing related to Transformers/Hasbro/TakaraTomy/etc. somehow, given how reference-heavy these manga chapters have each been so far.

Here are some pics that feature these parka-wearing civilian creatures, whatever they are (click each to see full size):

Note that while one of them is seen standing next to a couple of BotBots, the parka dudes are not BotBots themselves as there are no BotBots that resemble them.

And yours truly spent a good chunk of the day today typing up all of these notes.

At long last, the entire saga of the Generations Selects manga has been fully lettered in English!

Translated by Star Spangled Sam and lettered by Fanofcoolstuff27 and MrRald (all members of TFWiki), the full saga of this series actually begins with the comics and toy bios of the e-HOBBY-exclusive Legends Convobat and Magna Convoy toys, as well as those of the Legends Blue Big Convoy toy.

From these three toys, a whole new world was built and developed within the pages of the Generations Selects manga series. The series story starts off very cryptic and unexplained (downright confusing, even), with things revealed little by little over time, making the whole series better to read in full in order to fully understand it.

This series tells the story of the legendary Primus Vanguard, a group of mighty warriors divided into seven orders, who serve under the one and only Primus himself. This is the Japanese Generation 1 version of Primus, and it is his backstory that is divulged here, showing just how he fits into the larger scheme of the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon universe.

The series also picks up on a plot point that was left open ended at the end of the Legends manga. Namely, humanity's discovery of Angolmois Energy hidden deep within the Earth, which led to a new industrial revolution of clean energy in the year 2050.

It also contains a heavy dose of time-travel from all across the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline, stemming from the year 2011 (between Season 3 of the G1 cartoon and The Headmasters cartoon) as well as the year 2020 (the confirmed year of the Super-God Masterforce cartoon), the aforementioned future year of 2050, and the far distant future of the Japanese Beast Era cartoons. All of which come together in the main setting of the storyline: the mysterious "Precursor World".

Below is a list of every piece of media directly connected to this storyline, fully translated and lettered by all of those mentioned above, and placed specifically in order of release since the chronological order is a bit messy: the series ends in a roundabout way that expects readers to have already read the earlier-released stories that are set later.

And unlike most Japanese manga, these comics read in Western-style left-to-right.

Without further ado, let the saga begin.
