I am sorely tempted to get 2 of Tentakill to have one by himself.
Here's hoping for a God Neptune!!!

And Tentakil sharing the same engineering as Moonracer is freaking amazing. This is some TR A3/Broadside stuff, man.
WANT LIST:
*Kingdom Cyclonus
*Cybertron Ransack windscreen/chest

I feel it's almost a given at this point, what with Halfshell's appearance in the Selects manga.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Here's hoping for a God Neptune!!!

Japanese Video Review for Transformers Generations Selects Star Convoy
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Tue Oct 01, 2019 6:22 pm
This video review covers the new selects toy, which is a retooling of the Power of the Primes Optimus Prime mold. The inner robot mode is now based on his G1 Action Master toy, complete with yellow eyes and all, while the outer robot is a modified version of the original Star Convoy design. The alt mode is identical tooling wise to the original molding. The review also shows a comparison to the Siege Optimus Prime figure.
You can check out the video review below, and stay tuned, as Star Convoy is due out in approximately 1 months time!

Its also neat because its a fembot mold...and it just so happen Tentakil's retool in BW2 was female.

Wow, okay. I thought she might have had a different head or something. Guess I was wrong!

Official Images for Transformers Generations Selects Cromar and Hot Shot
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Tue Oct 01, 2019 6:58 pm
These new images give us a nice clear look at these 2 new Selects releases. Hot Shot is a new head retool of the Wave 1 Hound figure, and is based on his Cybertron Defense body from Transformers Cybertron. Cromar is a new head retool of the Wave 2 Sixgun figure, and is the final of the 3 Powerdashers to receive official images.
Both of these figures will be available from the Entertainment Earth booth during New York Comic Con this coming weekend, and will presumably go up for sale following the Con as well.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

I don't know, but I was just counterpunched into an original, so I guess i'll find out

Better by far. So is Star Convoy delayed overall or just from BBTS.

IDK, I like the overall design of the original toy for Cybertron Defense Hot Shot, but it was nowhere near as poseable as this new one is. Best of both worlds we'd get an update directly of the original design with modern articulation and engineering, but for now I'll happily take this new one.

Dude, the entire line is repaints/remolds. Selects is like the old collectors club or botcon. They won't have any original molds

The original had missiles ontop of missiles, no need to do yoga.
