Better Look at Upcoming Transformers DK3 AKA Diaclone Blue Trailbreaker

Pre-order NOW! And by now we mean later.

Companies really need to stop throwing the word now around so casually.

This could be good, especially since many of us NEVER saw Earthrise Trailbreaker in stores, and it was perpetually sold out on Pulse...

It would be cool if they retooled to have a Diaclone head...though how that would work with Ironhide is beyond me. Just remove the head altogether? Arms wouldn't be in the right place...

Well maybe if you guys didn’t make petty complaints like this you guys could maybe post news like velocitron is up for preorder at pulse and Walmart before they sell out especially since cosmos already is at both

Well damn. Clampdown is sold out too now. I got "Scourge", Override and Road Rocket so far. Road Hauler, Burn Out and Blurr I don't think will sell out anywhere and I can pick them up when I see them or something. I don't think Road Rocket will sell out either but I just wanted to make sure I had her. Shame I want two Clampdown with him being sold out already though, I really want those white hinges for Red Alert. I'm sure I'll find at least one of him in store at some point or doing an online restock.

Popping the Kingdom mold's shoulders off that hinge piece sucks though compared to the Siege mold. What a drag. It'll be worth it though.

C'mon, man. Not a good look.

Anyway, he's right. Cosmos was gone in about 7 minutes. I missed him, too.

Wait, why are we talking about the Legacy Velocitron figures in the Selects topic for Blue Trailbreaker?

Good question.

Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker is now up for preorder on Pulse with I think zero announcement, he just appeared on the front page: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new ... -3-breaker

actually some people, especially with sticker kits, do simply leave the head down behind the windshield.

The non exclusive Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker is now up for preorder on Pulse and every other collectible retailer out there. We have some links below as well as images from his reveal on social media.

Prices vary slightly from one retailer to the next.

Oooops, wrong thread

I feel like I missed something, but if we had DK-2 Guard and now DK-3 Breaker, who was DK-1?

Edit: Oh, I see, the DK Prefixes match the original designations of the Diakron release of Diaclone figures, so DK-1 WOULD be Selects Spin-Out. Wonder why they skipped using it for him?

Gearslide wrote:I feel like I missed something, but if we had DK-2 Guard and now DK-3 Breaker, who was DK-1?

Spin-Out.

He just didn't have the Diakron number in his two-pack release with Cordon.

Gearslide wrote:Edit: Oh, I see, the DK Prefixes match the original designations of the Diakron release of Diaclone figures, so DK-1 WOULD be Selects Spin-Out. Wonder why they skipped using it for him?

Because unlike "Guard" and "Breaker", Spin-Out was made into a TF character years before Selects back when they still actually gave new Diaclone TFs real names. So far the only Diaclone updates that have just been given these lazy droid-like designations have been the ones that have never had TF releases until this year.

ok, so now that DK-3 is official, c'mon Hasbro, DONT let this be the end of the Selects line! There is so much potential left in it...

Good question.

Because Randomhero likes nothing more than coming on here and bitching about the news staff instead of helping us out with tips even when it's off topic.

Breaker looks really nice. I got my preorder in.

My Diaclone squad is going to be so good by the time I'm done with it.

Random digbash.

I thought T-Wrecks was maroon with some silver and blue.

It's not exactly his color scheme, but it reminds me of 8t. I beleive the red and green are swapped on the actual t wrecks

I got the SG bug but I wanted my toys to be perfect. So here's SG Ratchet with new feet and Reprolabels. Also, DK-Guard who have been converted into SG Ironhide with Repros and new feet. The are sideways on the bot's shoulders because they priorise the vehicle modes. I had to repaint the windows of the rear of the vehicle (new feet) so that they match their repros. I think I managed well enough.







As for SG Optimus Prime, I gave him the Alternate Universe Optimus Prime (A.K.A Dead Prime) trailer. IMO, it works better than the Nemesis Prime trailer. Furthermore, Nemesis can't lose his trailer while it makes no sense for dead Optimus to have a trailer.

I also bought a trailer upgrade kit for SG Prime. I bought it twice to give one to Nemesis, but it only could work with a severe mod.

The partner of the T30 Gen. Legend Cliffjumper makes for a perfect SG Roller.

Finally some expensive repros on SG Prime and his trailer. Worth it!










It was lots of work to do, but very rewarding IMO.

I think they look great. Those new feet improved the ER van mold 100%. And I always love me some SG Prime. The Thanos of Transformers. Great job

Hey thanks!

I really recommend those feet. They are simple to use and it's the best version to fix that baffling omission for those Siege remolds. They even transform and are fully painted.

I have and like the Siege mold for Ratchet and Ironhide, so won't need the feet. I like the robot mode much better, and for my collection that takes priority over vehicles.

Pulse just charged me for Cyclonus and Nightstick, hopefully I'll have them by this weekend.

Oh, the actual Siege mold needs to keep their OG feet. They just feel out of place on the ER vehicles. Still, those feet don't convey the classic look of the bot mode. Same thing if you color the windows of the rest of the vehicles.

It's all about priorities.

I got a notice from Pulse overnight that I was charged for Cyclonus and Nightstick, so anyone in the US, look out, he's coming on time

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I got a notice from Pulse overnight that I was charged for Cyclonus and Nightstick, so anyone in the US, look out, he's coming on time

Same here for Cyclonus. Got one for SS Sludge too.

I just received my Generations Select Cyclonus and Nightstick. At a first glance i am definitely loving the darker color versus the Kingdom version.

SGM

EDIT: i just did a quick comparison with the Kingdom version. Also to note the left arm at the shoulder is very loose. It wont even hold up Nightstick. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue with their copy I just wanted to mention it.

That is a slick purple colour

I'm sure that if you'd lick it, it would taste like candy grape and your tongue would turn purple.

It just might actually do that

Nice. Mine is waiting for me at home. Can't wait to get to him.

Selects Cyclonus looks great! Enjoy what I'll never have. (Pulse shipping sucks, so I got a Laser Prime instead)

RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Selects Cyclonus looks great! Enjoy what I'll never have. (Pulse shipping sucks, so I got a Laser Prime instead)

Pulse shipping isn't great, but reasonable enough to make it work for me for SG and selects. If you are in the US, shipping will be $6.99 whether you order a single core class figure, a titan or multiple figures. So I just wait until I have about 6 or 7 figures to order so its only about a buck per item. Granted, they will charge you the full shipping on the first item, but then you are only charged for the remaining items when they ship.

If I do happen to find Selects Cyclonud in person like I did with Artfire ( at a Game Stop). I'll get it. I just can't see spending nearly $50 on this ( after tax & shipping) when I got Artfire for $30

Wish some one would have mentioned that before. I might actually do that, thanks.

It's been about a year since anything actually Shipped to me from Pulse because other places got items in stock sooner, and for lower cost, but I thought any order over $50 qualified for free shipping? I think the last items that shipped to me from Pulse we're the Selects Volcanicus and Abominus sets. Those shipped about 2 months apart, but neither had a shipping cost attached, just sales tax.

They discontinued the $50 free shipping because people kept abusing an exploit in the way it was implemented by "ordering" extra items to reach the 50 mark, earning the free shipping, then on the checkout screen before paying canceling the extra items they didn't want while retaining the free shipping bonus to get free shipping on a <$50 order.

Then all they had to do was fix that glitch instead of nixing the free $50 shipping altogether.

We can't have nice things.

So I got in toy colors Cyclonus and the colors are even better in person. He will definitely be my main Cyclonus bumping the Kingdom version to "Armada" status. He is definitely a bit iffy on the QC. Both shoulders on mine had issues, one with the forward/back rotation and the other with the outward extension being too loose to hold up the arm let alone a weapon. Both were fortunately easy to improve enough to hold a pose by tightening the screws in the back of the shoulders. They are still a bit loose, but can at least hold the pose now. The flip side of QC is his wing joints are extremely tight.

The only other issue I had was the sticker sheet being almost ruined by the packaging. Some of the tape used to tape down the ties attached itself to the sticker side of the sticker sheet and I nearly ripped a sticker just trying to separate it from the cardboard. Of course it didn't help when I pulled the tape off the cardboard first, accidentally let go and it landed all over the rest of the sticker sheet. I was somehow able to separate everything with all the stickers intact on the sheet, so whew there.

Mine is too, Really took the wind out of my sails for the figure.

Yeah, when I got mine in late may, I noted that BOTH shoulders on mine are seriously loose as are the hips. Bloomin' annoying for such an expensive figure.

*Edit*

Coo. I got him in May. Page 278

Maybe I'll just stick with the old chug Cyclonus!

RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Maybe I'll just stick with the old chug Cyclonus!

Don't get me wrong, he's a superb toy, just get the lilac one if you don't want a figure that flops about like a boneless fish...

~ Grim

I guess I lucked out on mine, his shoulders are nice and snug, he can hold Nightstick stretched out or pointing all the way up in both hands.

And I also agree, this color us much better than the Kingdom version. This will be my comic Cyclonus rep, while the Kingdom figure will go on my movie shelf.
