Regardless, congrats to have complete him! It must have cost a fortune and took awfully long.
All said and done, about $550US shipped. But now that he's finished, I don't regret it. I'm just still pissed at Hasbro for not rereleasing Overbite and Tentakil. And in hindsight, I should have bought Tentakil first, and then I might not even have bothered with Overbite.

They were released though? All 6 of my figures came from Pulse
Emphasis mine.

Ah, missed that part.

It's not just you, I missed it the previous time he mentioned it. :lol:

My Breaker just shipped out, so he should be arriving this weekend or early next week

Cool. So while we know the line is continuing, it appears all that has been speculated and revealed is now released? Also of Interest, I think the Pulse sale a while back helped get rid of a lot of Back Stock of older Selects. Only 6 are available,

(oldest to most recent)

GS13 Hubcap
GS24 G2 Ramjet
Lift Ticket
Cyclonus
DK-2 Guard
DK-3 Breaker

We do know that at least a Selects Deluxe and Titan are in the cards for 2023 from those Canadian listings from the night before Pulsecon, but that's all we know. I'm assuming that Titan is gonna be the Omega Sentinel that's been floating around in rumor and desktop background screenshots for a bit, no clue as to who the Deluxe is (other than it's explicitly NOT Magnificus, he's allegedly a Target exclusive releasing under Legacy).

I wonder what the odd are they'd retool Scourge into Defcon? He's another one I wouldn't mind buying.

Forgot about that Omega Sentinel repaint, that would be nice.

Devcon is already listed for Evolution.

It may have been mentioned several times before, but Leader Legacy Lazer Optimus Prime would be an easy Toxitron repaint.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Oct 06, 2022 6:27 am

I'm also curious as to what could be on the Selects docket for next year. Toxitron would be a great repaint.

Looking at the Diaclone list, there aren't too many left to do from existing WFC molds, though there is some extensive options if desired to go really deep:

Reboost
Topspin
Yellow Trailbreaker
red Skids (not Reboost, he has Skid's head)
red Mirage
Loudpedal
Diaclone Devastator
Diaclone Dinobots (with exception of Swoop)
Diaclone Insecticons (Insecticon clones)
Diaclone "prototype" trainbots
Overcharge

In reality, I think it's reasonable to say that Reboost, Loudpedal, red Mirage, Topspin, and Overcharge are in the cards. Yellow Trailbreaker and red Skids might be pushing it (though we also could get that green Skids (Screech, I think?), but I would say can't be ruled out. The 4 teams are almost certainly not options, especially given how long it would take to get Diaclone releases of the Dinobots out.

Yeah that Laser Prime definitely should be done in all its redecos. Especially Toxitron and G2 Ultra Magnus.

I got Selects Breaker in today. He is pretty neat. I like the blue color they chose for him, and the red and silvers are a nice little breakup in the scheme. I like him, he's cool.

Where did you get it?

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Fri Oct 07, 2022 7:36 pm

He really does look good! I ordered mine from Entertainment Earth and he's taking forever to get here. Shipped on 9/29, arriving 10/11, and via DHL to boot which means it's going to be dropped at the post office. DHL's international shipping is ridiculously fast, but their domestic shipping is the slowest.

Got mine today too, from Entertainment Earth, much better than the original Tuesday arrival date.

Heh, in addition to SG Trailbreaker, DK-3 Breaker could also work as Marvel Trailbreaker.

Of course, there were times where Marvel Trailbreaker was correctly colored black instead of blue.

Well, that depends on your definition of correct. Seeing as how the comic came out before the cartoon, I consider that version accurate. Yeah, being black was correct for the cartoon and the original Transformers version of the toy, but he was not only introduced blue in the comic, his Universe bio depicts him as such also, as well as his Diaclone having been blue before the Transformers version. So blue it is.

And I say that fully acknowledging the horrendous miscolorations of the early issues of the comic.

And the toy (which was black) existed before the comic was made.

The Diaclone toy used to make Trailbreaker's toy was black.

Don't forget the color limits, as blue almost always stood in for true black in comics.

by **Till-all-R1** » Sun Oct 09, 2022 12:38 pm

Since I missed trailbreaker I was thinking on getting Breaker instead but in the scheme of things I'd rather have the blck versus blue version due to variety and not having nay black TF's while already having a few blue bots.

This has become a sort of little team, and I like how Breaker stands out compared to the rest of this shot.

Hmm... I thought I saw a blue version in photos or a video about Diaclone before...

And yeah I'm aware that a lot of characters had blue on them in lieu of black due to the ink used in comics back then.
