I smell what the WillyJ is cooking. I poked around the wiki a bit and found Drillhorn.

Yup, there's Drillhorn who has 2 toys out there, Nosecone has 3, and there's indeed Menasor. Plus more, but I wont give away too much.

Unofficially, there's also the GoBots Renegade Screw Head and his Machine Robo counterpart, Drill Robo (or Rod Drill, as per Revenge of Cronos).

Love Screw Head, in fact Zetar reminded me a LOT of him

. Also, would Devastator's alternate hands count...or is that just more of an accessory?

Up to you.

Screw Head is on top of my list.

News Credits: 42 · Fri Sep 20, 2019 8:11 pm

I'm going to assume Twintwist would count, both G1 and TR.

But out of everyone I've heard, UW Nosecone for the top spot

Edit: Zetar does make the list for me though (just to keep things on topic-ish)

Yeah, there are lots out there. I really do like the Brunt mold.

Finally got myself a Red Wing. Bypassed the whole Red Card exclusivity and ordered one from Action Robo. He's a pretty neat figure, and I really love the shade of red used for most of his body.

Nice Find. I've seen a couple pictures online which aren't that great, but was wondering if you (or anyone else) had seen some good group shots of all Seven Seekers together?

Sort of, I can get some better photos when I'm home from my business trip on Thursday. For now I can leave this, Siege vs. Classics Seeker standoff.

I believe this was right before they broke into the dance routine from "Beat It".

Here is another, but Redwing is a bit cut off. (Spoiler alert, the Siege seekers won)

Thanks all! Man that pool table comes in handy! I have to put towels down on the dining table, not sure what type of wood it's made out of...but the wifey was none to happy with a couple scratches I left..... :oops:

Collected my Redwing yesterday, he's a nice figure and the battle splodges look better or suit him better in robot mode some how.

Artic Megatron, whilst never going to be a thing of beauty, the backpack is tight and the unmatching whites (which on Red Alert look ugly and cheap) do the same for megs but in a good way. A definite lack of paint tho, would have been nice for lower half of the hover tank to have the orig toys greys. It's not convinced me to need a regular megs over the TR toy but the weapons are great.
One of the feet went really loose when I tried for an ankle tilt, to the point it was a floppy mess but it seems to have locked back in place.

Redwing is the best of the seekers. His colors make that mold so worth it, he looks spectacular.

Really glad he finally got a toy like this. His colors are worth it

Has anyone heard or seen anything regarding that Super Megatron figure that was teased a long while back? Was that even a real teaser?

We're still waiting on it, it was a real reveal. It and Armada Prime are still only teased and we are awaiting more info

I'm starting to feel Takara is handling it like MP Hound: "here is this cool thing we are doing! It'll be available in a year or two. Ta-ta!"

Honestly, I think I'd prefer if they didn't show us the new projects so far in advance and just reveal them closer to when they should be released

News Credits: 25 · Wed Sep 25, 2019 9:20 pm

Agreed. If it won't be out within six months, just keep quiet.

At the rate things are going in the Selects manga storyline, we may not see more of Super Megatron until after all of King Poseidon's components are put on preorder, as Galvatron is currently still undergoing his presumed metamorphosis into Super Megatron, while Star Convoy continues his battle with a still-partially completed King Poseidon ("partially completed" in the sense of his proper combined form using all single unique Seacons).

Thanks to Seibertronian Microbot and chuckdawg1999, we have a pair of new Transformers Generations Selects video reviews for you all to check out!

Up first, from Chuckdawg himself, we have a video review for the soon to be released Selects Smokescreen figure. Smokescreen is a redeco of the retail release Barricade, though he comes with both the shoulder cannons Barricade comes with as well as the regular Prowl/Bluestreak gun. Smokescreen was available for pre-order through Pulse, and he should be arriving early next week and start shipping out to all who pre-ordered him.

And secondly, we have a new review form Chefatron, who shows off the upcoming Selects Hot Shot figure! This review shows off Hot Shot, who is a head retool of Wave 1 Hound, a reveal that was long awaited after the box art showed off this Hot Shot head. We have rumors that he will be available at New York Comic Con from the Entertainment Earth booth, and should hopefully be available online around the same time.

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

Out of the three Datsun brothers, Smokescreen is my favorite since the character got quite a bit of development in the G1 cartoon. Like Bluestreak, Smokescreen comes with the shoulder launchers that are clearly based on the animation model for G1 Smokescreen. If you can find it for a reasonable price Smokescreen is a must for any collection.
