That didn't take long. We wrote just the other day of upcoming figures in the Generations Selects line and now we have a shot of them. What you will see below is what we are guessing to be Generations Selects Bluestreak, Buzzsaw, Guard and Nightprowler. Of those, only Nightprowler was previously never seen but it does give us further assurance as to the release of the other ones and it's our best look at them yet. Guard is the black Ironhide redeco which is based on his Diaclone release (and subsequently/coincidentally, his Bayverse deco), Buzzsaw is the Waspinator mold with the robot face rather than the mutant head, Bluestreak is the latest Datsun style mold and Nightprowler is based on the Kingdom Cheetor mold.

Most of these are not exclusve to any one retailer but they will be predominantly sold online rather than in stores, as is the case with all Selects releases. If any of these turns out not to be a Selects release, then it can be exclusive. Of course, this could all be fake so take it with a grain of salt just in case.

Nice! Finally we get a confirming shot of Blue Streak. He's a definite get. I don't like the ER van mold, so I'll pass on Guard, but only for that reason.

The news post is incorrect. It's been stated by Jtprime17 that Silverstreak is a Target exclusive in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee subline.

I wonder if I should hold out for an official Shattered Glass Ironhide or just get Guard as a repurposing.

The original SG Ironhide was also based on Diaclone Colors, but with a different deco than Guard. Plus, who knows if the IDW SG will have the same devo, since some of them have changed compared to original SG.

These look awesome, but did he really have to hide Nightprowler's face like that?

Blue streaks looking nice, dunno if it's kinda pointless with out being able to get prowl but I think I will with it being diaclone.

Guard is almost tempting but same with not being able to get the main two and it having a bad Alt with its feet so I'll pass.

any use of that Cheetor mold is a big no. Buzzsaw is tempting with me going for T30 over kingdoms waspinator.

I definitely think Siege Ironhide is better than Earthrise Ironhide. Is this a general consensus?

Bluestreak/Silverstreak looks awesome! Definitely want him. Guard I'm kinda iffy on, the base mold is "meh" but it does look decent in those colours. Nightprowler just doesn't interest me. Buzzsaw I absolutely want.

Both are pretty bad alt mode wise but Siege is lazier in general (at least it is easy enough to modify some wheels for crosshairs -which is the only reason/figure I picked up). Earthrise had a bit of effort put into it, just not enough (only have the shattered glass usage)

for me its the other way around, it's the ER mold that's lazy, especially with those feet just hanging out in the back. In black deco it doesn't look bad in van mode, but the robot mode (in all decos) just looks off-putting. I have 3 versions of the Siege mold, and unless we get an Ironhide in SS86, Siege will stay as my G1 rep for that character.

Why did the photographer obscure Nightprowler's robot head?

Black headlights again - first Smokescreen and now Bluestreak. I did a whole headlight swap among all 4 of those Datsun molds.

As for Guard, guess I will be ordering replacement feet from Nonnef again soon.

If they are keeping the titan masters gimmick going with Minerva, guard should have had removable head so it could sit in his chest.

Interesting.

I will for sure get Buzzsaw since I have every version of that character, he was a fun one I inadvertently started collecting, even got his Micron Booster Pack partner for his Cybertron toy.

Nightprowler looks neat, I love the cheetor mold, will get.

Black Guard looks good, I am enjoying the diaclone colors. I will get him to go on the Diaclone shelf, and the Deeseeus army drone will be SG Ironhide.

I like Silverstreak for the diaclone shelf, but I do not want another datsun mold. I have that mold as Barricade and that is enough. The siege Barricade looked far better, but I wanted him to be different than the normal 3, and I got those 3 in Siege and didn't want to try again in earthrise.

I don't recall that being said anywhere. We know that she's the intended use of Elita 1, but nothing has been said about whether she'll have a Titan Master or not

Yay, Nightprowler is real! I was hoping for this guy to become a real figure since we found out Cheetor was real, I was very happy when he turned up on that rumor list I copy-pasted over here. Even though the colors are slightly different than I was expecting, I am 100% picking him up. Silverstreak I also really want to grab, the other 2 I am going to wait and see a bit longer, although I'm definitely leaning towards the affirmative with Buzzsaw.

Also reminder that the rumors have him pegged as having the Cheetor bot head rather than the mutant head, and he is actually an Autobot, not a Maximal.

Correct, plus only 1 of these has been stated to actually be a Selects figure so far based on the rumor list.

I thought last we heard we had zero evidence for or against it's inclusion, did I miss something?

Why do those Beast Wars redecos have to look good? I wanted to be done with non-show characters for BW as it's not a Canon that I associate with army filling. Doggone it

Yuck. Really? The Arcee mold again? That really doesn't fit her at all. I was hoping it would at least be a redeco of Chromedome or something.

She and Elita are a new mold. Nobody said anything about the Arcee mold.
