Hmm, alright Hasbro, I will buy the chromia mold as Nightbird.

Wish I could get the legends one, but this one looks pretty good too

There was a promotion still running where they will send you a coupon for $40 of your next purchase in store or online of $40 or more. I'm not sure if you on;ly get the coupon from signing up in store or not, that's where I did.

Yep, that means that Redwing, plus a $15.99 LOL doll for my daughter's upcoming birthday came to only $6 and some change after the RedCard discount, coupon and taxes.

So basically free Red Wing and then some if you don't already have a card, assuming they don't sell out while you are waiting for your card. You do have to wait until you have the physical card before using it online.

How long did it take you to get your card? I was thinking about applying today after seeing that $40 deal they had going

Exactly a week, signed up last Friday, arrived today.

Edit, Another option for the coupon would be to pay full price (-5%) for Redwing, and get your rainmakers for less than half price with 5% off then -$40. I of course found the rainmakers today on the way home from work, before I got the card out of the mailbox.

Nice. I might do it here.

Ugh, sadly I won't make that $40 bonus minimum

So... Nightbird. Chromia pretool. I can dig it, eases my debate over T30/Legends VS Siege. But count me in for all 3 Powerdashers!

I had signed up last week and I just bought Red Wing yesterday, and he came to basically $30 shipped. I wonder if I could still get the coupon because I would put that towards the rainmakers. Is there a code?

I think you had to sign up in store in order to get the coupon. The code on mine was individualized, not like one of their regular ad coupon codes. I've already thrown it out otherwise I'd snap a photo.

OK, caved in and got that Target card. Got the credit card option cause the fiance and i both like Target.

Got approved instantly, nice! I'm gonna wait for my coupon to come in, but Redwing will be purchased within the next 2 weeks! Yay!

Thanks for answering my questions about the redcard yesterday Kev!

...alright, so who ordered the seafood platter?

https://twitter.com/s250_MKII/status/1155265814452289536

Looks like Overbite is Rippersnapper (no surprise), Seawing is Cutthroat (no surprise), Nautilator and Skalor are both Blot (dull surprise), and Tentakill...I got nothing. We are getting all 6 and gun modes though!

Overbite, not Overkill

Whoops, thanks.

Also looks like they all have swords that combine for the combined mode like UW Computron's gun, awesome.

Oh my god, yes! Piranacon is so gonna be in my collection

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Nemesis Primal, we have word that the Transformers Selects Series King Poseidon has been fully revealed!

King Poseidon, which is standing in all his glory at the ACGHK event in Hong Kong, is finally revealed in full, along with all of his individual members. The full combined mode confirms for us that at least Overbite will have a gun and limb mode, and while we cannot confirm that the other limb bots will have weapon modes at this time, we can speculate that all 5 limbs will have gun modes.

We also get a good look at the individuals in robot and beast mode, with Turtler from Hun Gurr, Overbite appearing to be a Rippersnapper retool, Kraken a Cutthroat, Lobclaw and Gulf both retooled from Blot, and Tentakill... well, we're not sure, but it is possible Tentakill is a new mold.

Check out the Seacons below, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

The be all, end all combiner wars gestalt, in all his premium glory

I hope to primus and all that is is righteous and holy that his joints are all tight enough to handle the weight of these new figures, because, oh man, hungurrs' were not

Uh, not seeing any robot mode pics there (not that's surprising, considering *looks at Masterforce pointedly*).

Damn but they look awesome. It just figures that of all the G1 combiner teams, the Seacons would end up as exclusives, though, doesn't it? Somebody should photograph them with Noisemaze Mass Production Ver. and the BotCon Sweeps.

I've had more issues with the smaller Terrorcons' hip joints than with Hun-Gurrr himmself, at least so far

I'm definitely in. I hope we get a release date soon, as well as how much Hasbro will be charging for them so I know how much I'll need to save. I hope this is a decent way out from now, for the sake of everyone who wants Unicron.

Forget the torso joints, there is no way his arm is holding up the gun. It's a good thing I like Overbite, because it seems like he'll be an individual in order to not destroy one of his team mates joints.

Honestly, they all seem sick enough to have one be on their own, I'm concerned about has/tak charging for all the new hands and feet, and then the combined mode won't even be able to hold up this leg - like abominus

It's possible the sword parts can also configure as a gun stand.

Looking at it more I'm not super happy with the sword. It looks like he's holding a sword blade by the tang, rather than by a grip. Actually, now that I've gotten more into customizing I probably could make one, but depending on how much this is supposed to cost I probably shouldn't have to.

If push comes to shove and he cannot hold his 5th limb up as a gun, I will take Tentakill and gladly display him as an individual. He is my Seacon

He's holding it by the grip, look at pics 5 and 6

I mean, that's nothing a tiny bit of paper towel can't fix, but hungurr's crappy shoulder ratchets? No way, bum shoulders are permanent cuz hasbro pinned his entire body together, so you can't mod or fix it, which means, he can barely stand on his own, let alone strike a pose

They're going to have robot modes for the limbs, r-right...?
