I mean, it's not quite perfect, but isn't there that one giant action black zarak?

Dont they all look different than all the releases we got so far?

Greenlight and the supposed Lancer aren't Selects figures (or at least we know Greenlight isn't), they're just regular Siege exclusives. I do want to know where my Ricochet is though...

Speaking of Greenlight, do we know how she is being released yet? I really hope she (and Lancer) come out soon, especially becuase I just got Novastar and Chromia and figured out how to integrate Chromia into Orthia.

They are, Entertainment earth shipped out the ones they had from their initial stock.

Mine should be delivered by Thursday

Hooray for Decepticon pirate Blastoise! He even looks like he transforms differently than I was expecting, which makes him more interesting!
This does make me question two things though:
1. How many accessories is this guy going to have? We're shown here his sword, shield, and gun, which was missing from the original silhouette, but since he's made from a PotP torso, shouldn't he also have combiner feet and an Enigma? Or are the Seacons going to use CW HFGs?
2. His gun looks loaded with weapon ports, which is cool especially with WFC happening, but does that mean that Piranacon/King Poseidon is going to have a combined gun like Takara's Computron? And more importantly, if yes, is that going to replace the Targetmaster limb gimmick?

1. I can see it going either way. On the one hand, he might have a compartment for his Enigma like Hun-Grr does, and I don't think it's out of the question for them to have left the feet out of the picture even if he does have them simply because they'd look inelegant and he's carrying enough stuff already. On the other hand, it's a drastic enough remold that it could be just as easy to get rid of them. Personally, I'd be in favor of having at least two of them use CW HFGs since they make better hands than the Prime Armor, as well as being better accessories when the figures are separate
2. Let's be honest, there is no way in hell they'd get the Seacons' Targetmaster gimmick to work for a CW/PotP style combiner. Aside from the engineering difficulties that would present, especially when they're working with retools rather than making the molds from scratch, deluxe-sized Targetmaster would just be too heavy for Piranacon to hold up.
I was hoping this would somehow turn out to not be Snaptrap, because making a Piranacon that replicates the abilities of the of the original while still meeting modern expectations of posability and stability just doesn't seem feasible, and just making Snaptrap without the other Seacons would result in "Where's the rest of them?" complaints for years on end. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

A friend suggested we might see a retool of Skrapnel for a targetmaster lobster guy (and a sixth in the box like Computron.) I think that's a feasible option.
I can't see them putting this much thought and hype into it without finishing out the set. I'm optimistic and watching for more.
Sheesh, if they went to the trouble of Big Powered, they're gonna do this right.
