Ok, really excited for Lancer, those colors are great! I'm looking forward to Elita Inf1nite (I ain't callin' her Orthia, the other name is better).

Galactic Man looks cool, but finally a Selects figure I will pass on. Just don't need him.

Also, funny thing: I'm willing to bet no one noticed that Animated Shockwave was a G1 Galactic Man Shockwave homage first

Orthia > 1337speak.

Also, I'm a bit dubious about the reference. Animated Shockwave is light gray with turquoise accents. Galactic Man is this really dark somewhat metallic charcoal gray, and has either colorless or red (less common) transparent parts.

Yeah I prefer Orthia as the complete combiner name, Elita Inf1nite works better when Elita is just stealing other team members,as that sounds more like something old IDW Elita would do.

Awww poor.... Chromia!

I read it as them being on display at SDCC, not sold there.

No these figures will not be sold at SDCC next week. They will only be on display.

looks like Entertainment Earth feels otherwise...





These are all the exclusives EE are advertising, not sure why the TF's are considered *Super Secret* but somehow, someone was able to get the image

Yeah I saw that what the heck? Ah well, I guess plans change right?

I'd say they'd debut at SDCC, but aren't exclusive to that event, as in more stores will have them available after the show. Besides, it's EE, not Hasbro Pulse that's offering them, right?

That's my hope. But also I hope they will be available in normal quantities, and we dont have to relive the nightmares of years past, randomly waiting for them to show up on HTS, and selling out in a matter of minuets/hours. *Yes I know those were exclusives and THESE supposedly are not, but just call me gun shy.

Looks like Redwing is back live on Target.com, but they are making it a target red card exclusive.

Even worse, if you apply online to get a red card, you have to wait 7-10 days to get it, so you can't order anyway that way.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TF-Fan-kev777 with a tip of the hat to Nickster 563 we have discovered that the scarlet Seeker Transformers Generations Selects Red Wing is up for Pre Order at Target but only as an exclusive to Red Card members. We're unsure why it's been limited to such a degree but for any of you Red Card members out there try the link above or click the image below and you should be able to add Red Wing to your pre order list. He's currently listed at $29.99.

Happy hunting and let us know how it goes in the forums. Make sure to stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest in Transformers news!

Target finally forced my hand to get a Red Card for this!

How could Target with all their red iconography not jump on this bloody bastard right? I’m blanking on the name of the Wrecker from DotM they did some select marketing for the best one with the gut and the mutt

I was thinking the same thing. Really curious as to who will have him in Canada.

I like how shipping information is free on orders over $35 or with Red Card, but with Red Card you still get charged shipping. Things like this is why I hate Target.

So I ordered 2 to get over 35 for free shipping and I'll take one back to the store and return it. FU Target!

Modern problems require modern solutions, amirite?

Seriously, if you gotta pay shipping on a Target exclusive, even though you have a REDcard, that really sucks. At least have shipping be free for those who do have one.

The shipping got taken off of mine at the very end, right before I confirmed the order. (I ordered one.) The only thing I got charged was MN Sales Tax, which was almost completely offset by the 5% Red Card discount from Target.

You didn't have to buy two, once you put your pin number in it removes the shipping. I just ordered one myself for a total of $30.06 since the 5% REDcard discount also applies (Maine sales tax is 5.5%).

And FYI for those that don't know, you can get a debit REDcard, you don't have to get the credit card version.

Hold up. Is this a Target themed Transformer?? That’s gross.

Chillax. People are just speculating about Target having been eager for him because he so happens to have Target-y colors.

It Is Him wrote:Hold up. Is this a Target themed Transformer?? That’s gross.

No, it's just red.

It Is Him wrote:Hold up. Is this a Target themed Transformer?? That’s gross.

Nope, this is a character that was created by a convolution of events for Botcon 2013, it's just Target exclusive because it's red.

Ah thanks. I’m still not wild about this character sharing a similar color scheme to Target branding and then being sold exclusively at Target. I know it’s not the first time we’ve seen IRL unrelated corporate branding in this sci-fi fictional world or toyline, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it

Heads up: Generations Selects Ricochet is $16.99 on Megaopolis DOTD (Not affiliated just sharing the deal)
