It just my headcanon thing, but I see Sandstorm as "Earth Mode" Netflix Shitsorm (Sparkless Seeker) and G2 Ramjet as "Earth Mode" Netflix Hotlink. Displaying them together makes them perfect. 8-)

Generations Selects Galvatron is now out in the west and east hemisphere. He was found in a Hong Kong Toysrus at the beginning of September for $519HK (66 USD) and has been shipping out from EB Gamestop Canada this week with people getting him in hand. Prime vs Prime and Chefatron have reviews up of the toy where we get a good look at the finished product and we see that it comes with the shoulders fixed. This is very good news since this toy comes in a brown box where you would not be able to see the shoulders before purchasing. So it seems Hasbro fixed their mistake in later runs of the original toy and in the rest of the uses going forward.

Seriously gonna promote Primevsprimes review? It’s a stolen factory defect. That’s not speculation that’s what it is. 1. He doesn’t show the sticker sheet with the excuse “I don’t like stickers” 2. Doesn’t show the box. 3. It has blatant paint issues which I get can be on regular stuff but still and 4. the big flag in his review he using the kingdom mass retail Galvatron’s canon. It’s not sparkly and has the same paint apps as the regular canon not is the revenge style guns are shown

He legit doesn’t show what the product actually is. His stuff is a farce.

I find it funny that both reviewers pulled off the same pose :lol:

Also can we not discuss the origins of the toys used in these reviews? This thread is for talking about the toys themselves. It is not to be derailed by the reviewer.

It might be better to have a stolen toys sighting thread for these reviews

Just collected a $50 selects deluxe. As awesome as sandstorm is a year after pre ordering it still stings.

*voyager, my bad.

Sandstorm IS the Seeker mold. Also, all Sandstorms were big bots that are voyagers. Appart the G1 original that can be considered a deluxe.
As far that I know, that is.

How about not promoting reviewers that review stolen toys that are incomplete and not showing the whole figure and what it all comes with? This site doesn’t promote nor do news on third party stuff so how does stolen toys get a slide?

Wanna talk about the toy? Okay? I’d like to but unfortunately what’s in pvps and chefatrons videos isn’t the toy that’s actually what I ordered because what’s in their videos are stolen incomplete figures. Canon was replaced with with his other stolen Galvatron he has and you don’t have to be thorough to notice it. No stickers still and no accessories outside the matrix. So sure let’s ignore all that to talk about the toy that’s not justifiably represented and not actually what you’re getting with your order.

Right?

Got Galvy in the mail the other day. Really like him. You don't see Galvy's toy colors used for him very often, so I appreciated their use here.

TBH, I kind of like this version a bit more than the regular release? Maybe because I have Mania King and this guy scratches a different itch. Maybe it's because I ordered the regular one through the mail and it was the wrong shoulders version.

Of course I have some nitpicks with the deco. Purple forearms, no red on the belt. Those don't move the needle on this guy very much. I do, however, wish he had the sandcastle head. Or that as an option, at least. Mainly because it's such an unusual look for him.

Now bring on Delta Magnus and Prototype colors Arcee!

I'm surprised we haven't had Delta Magnus yet but then again , with the rumours that we're getting Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus, I wonder if their shared deco is a reason.

Glad you're enjoying this version of Galvatron though!

Blue Perceptor, please Hasbro. You did blue Bluestreak, so I know you can. :-D

If they do Beast Wars Sandstorm from Kingdom Scorponok, he'd be a Deluxe.

Kinda hope it's not SG. I don't want Mr. Skull Head. Maybe if they included it as a bonus it would work.

I figure this thread is as good as any to post this:

There is yet another Seeker Conehead from the G1 cartoon who has yet to receive any toy of his own.

From "Starscream's Brigade"

From "Fight or Flee"

From Legends

From Generations Selects

His name is... Blast.

I would accept both him and a Blackout. Black is a great color

The TFW Sekrit Leaks Klub is letting out cryptic hints over new reveals. You have no reason to believe me of course but my incalculably awesome source can do one better and give you the full list (with his permission).
Sandstorm (from BW Scorponok), Buzzsaw (from Waspinator), Lift Ticket, Guard (diaclone) and DK3 (diaclone), also toy colours Cyclonus.

...having seen what's being said on TFW, you've listed 6 figures compared to their 5, and 2 of the ones you listed don't match any of the hints given on TFW, so I don't know what to think about this.

I also don't know who Guard is though, so if anyone has any insights to offer on that I'd greatly appreciate it, as the Wiki isn't helping for once.

Guard and DK3 are Diaclone references. I think Guard is just a black Ironhide.

Hopefully a purple lift ticket rather than red if there is one.

I knew they were Diaclones and I'd heard that DK3 was blue Trailbreaker, I'd just never heard Guard before. Another black Ironhide right after the Netflix one, though? I'll be honest, while that does sound like something HasTak would do, that only furthers my skepticism.

News Credits: 12 · Sun Sep 19, 2021 2:07 pm

I believe he's more specifically patterned after the Diaclone black Ironhide pre-TF rather than the Deseeus drone.

The BotCon one uses the red variant, so that's more likely to be used. Should they do the blue one, it'll get a new name.

I'll live in hope and worse case, find some valejo paint XD I already have the t30 botcon but I have a thing for hoist so no doubt I'll buy another red one

Could be the Earthrise mold instead of Siege.

Plus, people often forget that Diaclone Black Ironhide/SG Ironhide's secondary color is red.

It was released as an e-hobby special to boot:
