I think this look better than "safety orange."
Still, I already have Beast Megs so I don't need to double-dip.

He was never safety orange

Well, he is under the right lighting.

A badly-lit TFSource pic does not a good representation of his colors make. He's supposed to be dark blood red:

Exactly what I said.
No need to Zelda hair down to the atom.

There was a rumor that a new G1 Motormaster was coming next year. Not sure if that got debunked but if it happens we might see a Selects set follow.

Well, rumors being rumors (and a very quiet one at that) I'll go 3P in the meantime.
CW Motormaster was just an excuse to make Optimus Prime with the result we all saw. They should have made a proper CW Motormaster from the start and repaint/remold HIM as Optimus. It would have still worked while giving us a perfect Menasor and a unique Optimus.

Fedex has been torturing me today. Got an out for delivery notice for Deep Cover this morning. Saw 3 different Fedex Trucks go down my street, 2 of which delivered to my neighbors and nothing. Fedex just changed my status from out for delivery to pending.

Edit: no sooner do I post this then I downstairs to find it on my porch.

So, with the reveal for the Ark, what are the odds that we could get an accurately colored Mainframe in Selects?

High but I might see them pulling a centurion with it, and having him be part of another set

Nice to see Night Prowler finally getting a figure. Although I was hoping for him to be in the MP line. Using the Tigatron mold...

Makes you wonder how far they will go with Terrorsaur now. Ravenus never received a figure, much like Night Prowler. Now although he was depicted in Terrorsaur's TM design. I doubt anyone would complain if he were just a black redeco of Terrorsaur's default.

I hope we see Mainframe in Selects, I'd like one in proper colors for the Lost Light shelf.

Deep Cover is frikkin sweet. They nailed him.

That's by far my favorite version of Deep Cover and probably my favorite use of the mold. Great colors and ALL the weapons, that's something if I get the chance I'd ask Hasbro about at the Pulse party and the packaging, and distribution.

The Selects versions of the Sideswipe mold, Tigertrack and Deep Cover, have both weapons, while Netflix Deep Cover didn't get the Red Alert gun. I, too, am curious about the decision behind it.

POTP Swoop was bascially colored like Ravenus's true form.

We've gotten some new pictures of Transformers Selects Transmutate. They come from Instagram user tonezone.mp4.

We see more details than ever before, including her unique headsculpt. Select Transmutate will be available as a regular Select figure, meaning you'll be able to buy her pretty much everywhere.

Are you planning to get this radioactive and mutated take of Kingdom Paleotrex? Do you think this repaint/retool is a nice update to the tragic Beast Wars character? Let us know what you think!

Those colors really look good, and I frankly enjoy the crap out of these fossilizers.

I love how the back of the bot head sticks up out of the dino head kind of like a tuft of hair on a little kid.

Hell yeah! Vanilla Paleotrex does not interest me at all. But this Transmutate is SPECIAL. For me, it's an alternate universe version where instead of self-destrucing, Transmutate secured herself an altmode and stabilized herself. But she's still oozing dangerous radiations from her ever glowing bits!

This make me want a new Rampage to go alongside her.

I never noticed that before, and now I love it

I recently revisited the Beast Wars episode where the titular character appeared, and I’m now especially hyped to get my hands on this figure. The colour scheme is great, and the head sculpt is uncanny. They died without ever developing a beast mode, but had they survived, this beast form
Would’ve suited them well.

Wait WHAT?
Oh, sweet! This make Transmutate even more worth getting because she have an unique beast mode. Nice!

I like that head canon! I did get Paleotrex already, but I’m still tempted by Transmutate and Skelivore. They are both great reprints.

Makes her alt mode look a lot like a Cryolophosaurus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryolophosaurus
