Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I've been a bit out of the loop on Transformers stuff in recent months; when is Greenlight releasing and where will she be available to purchase?

Correct, though I imagine at the top of Hasbro's list is a blue G2 Prime to go with Megatron.

We don't know either yet, but we presume that she'll be another Amazon exclusive.

Are Swoop and Ricochet going to be available through Hasbro Pulse or just third party sites?

Looks like other sellers like Entertainment Earth. Hasbro Pulse picked up G2 Megatron but not the first 2 deluxes it seems

My Ricochets been dispatched

I dislike the white parts on the car front so he will be staying in robot mode or getting them painted black.

yeagh, but they are not doing international shipping for another 6-12 months (if and when they do, he will be long gone).

Takara Has announced their own Select's Line. Starting with Star convoy and Teasers for Snaptrap and Super Megatron. They look like remolds of Power of the Primes Hungrrr and Titans Return Galavatron.

Thanks to Hobby Dengki, we have brand new pictures showing Star Convoy (retooled from Power of the Primes Leader Class Optimus Prime) in all his coloured glory!

These images confirm that there was tooling done to the inner figure, making him a smaller G1 inspired Prime, with pointier 'ears'.

Thats not all though, two other figures are teased...

This one appears to be none other than Star Convoys nemesis, Super Megatron, with some speculation that it could be a retool of Galvaltron from Titans Returns.

This one is harder to place with some fans claiming it as Snap Trap while others being more skeptical.

What's more interesting to note though that this is being advertised as part of the Generations Select line, that Hasbro announced with Red Swoop and Ricohet (before adding Artic Cameo Megatron to). Could this mean that we could see Star Convoy released outside of Japan as well?

What do you think of this news? Will you be grabbing Star Convoy? Do you think we have confirmation of the Seacons?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Super Megatron's legs are definitely those of TR Galvatron, while the legs of the visor-eyed guy also look familiar.

I'm trying to see if I can use the sword to figure out who it might be, as the sword itself does look familiar to me as well. At first I wondered if it was just the Nemesis Prime sword, but it isn't. Though it's definitely not Piranacon's sword (and besides, Snap Trap doesn't have visored eyes, he has normal eyes).

Ahh...The silhouettes, and speculation, how I've missed you...Glad to see there are some surprises to look forward to. Star Convoy looks great, though I wont be getting it. Also, if that last one does turn out to be Snaptrap, I will be overjoyed.

It will be interesting to see if :TAKARATOMY:

&

share their selects with one another. Also there was that Armada Prime shown at the same time as Star Convoy initially, I'm surprised there was no update on that.

I said this in a different thread these pics were posted in, but I'll say it here too.
The silhouette of what might be Snap trap looks like a re-use of Hun Garr to me.

The legs are certainly different, at least.

To me, they almost look like those of the FOC Grimlock mold, which I do hope isn't the case.

I'm still waiting for more pics of Armada Convoy. >:oP

Star Convoy looks cool though.

Look at the right arm... that looks a lot like Hun-Gurr to me. Now as to if it's Snap Trap, we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, the legs are different, but that is the Hun-Gurr mold's arm.

I dunno. I think the calf/shin sections look just like Hun-Gurr's. Definitely different feet. The shoulders look similar too.

But of course I can't be completely sure looking at an all black silhouette. :lol:

Ah dip! That's TOTALLY gotta be Snaptrap! Running under the assumption that it is, I NEVER thought that would happen!

(Makes me a little more hopeful for Takara-ver. Computron and G2 Defensor (The Inferno with Random-limbs is not good enough.))
