Generations Selects Galvatron Out in Various Countries + Video Review Confirming Fixed Shoulders

Seriously gonna promote Primevsprimes review? It’s a stolen factory defect. That’s not speculation that’s what it is. 1. He doesn’t show the sticker sheet with the excuse “I don’t like stickers” 2. Doesn’t show the box. 3. It has blatant paint issues which I get can be on regular stuff but still and 4. the big flag in his review he using the kingdom mass retail Galvatron’s canon. It’s not sparkly and has the same paint apps as the regular canon not is the revenge style guns are shown

He legit doesn’t show what the product actually is. His stuff is a farce.

I find it funny that both reviewers pulled off the same pose

Also can we not discuss the origins of the toys used in these reviews? This thread is for talking about the toys themselves. It is not to be derailed by the reviewer.

It might be better to have a stolen toys sighting thread for these reviews

Just collected a $50 selects deluxe. As awesome as sandstorm is a year after pre ordering it still stings.

*voyager, my bad.

Sandstorm IS the Seeker mold. Also, all Sandstorms were big bots that are voyagers. Appart the G1 original that can be considered a deluxe.
As far that I know, that is.

How about not promoting reviewers that review stolen toys that are incomplete and not showing the whole figure and what it all comes with? This site doesn’t promote nor do news on third party stuff so how does stolen toys get a slide?

Wanna talk about the toy? Okay? I’d like to but unfortunately what’s in pvps and chefatrons videos isn’t the toy that’s actually what I ordered because what’s in their videos are stolen incomplete figures. Canon was replaced with with his other stolen Galvatron he has and you don’t have to be thorough to notice it. No stickers still and no accessories outside the matrix. So sure let’s ignore all that to talk about the toy that’s not justifiably represented and not actually what you’re getting with your order.

Right?

Got Galvy in the mail the other day. Really like him. You don't see Galvy's toy colors used for him very often, so I appreciated their use here.

TBH, I kind of like this version a bit more than the regular release? Maybe because I have Mania King and this guy scratches a different itch. Maybe it's because I ordered the regular one through the mail and it was the wrong shoulders version.

Of course I have some nitpicks with the deco. Purple forearms, no red on the belt. Those don't move the needle on this guy very much. I do, however, wish he had the sandcastle head. Or that as an option, at least. Mainly because it's such an unusual look for him.

Now bring on Delta Magnus and Prototype colors Arcee!

I'm surprised we haven't had Delta Magnus yet but then again , with the rumours that we're getting Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus, I wonder if their shared deco is a reason.

Glad you're enjoying this version of Galvatron though!

Blue Perceptor, please Hasbro. You did blue Bluestreak, so I know you can.

If they do Beast Wars Sandstorm from Kingdom Scorponok, he'd be a Deluxe.

Kinda hope it's not SG. I don't want Mr. Skull Head. Maybe if they included it as a bonus it would work.

I figure this thread is as good as any to post this:

There is yet another Seeker Conehead from the G1 cartoon who has yet to receive any toy of his own.

From "Starscream's Brigade"


From "Fight or Flee"


From Legends


From Generations Selects



His name is... Blast.

I would accept both him and a Blackout. Black is a great color

The TFW Sekrit Leaks Klub is letting out cryptic hints over new reveals. You have no reason to believe me of course but my incalculably awesome source can do one better and give you the full list (with his permission).
Sandstorm (from BW Scorponok), Buzzsaw (from Waspinator), Lift Ticket, Guard (diaclone) and DK3 (diaclone), also toy colours Cyclonus.

...having seen what's being said on TFW, you've listed 6 figures compared to their 5, and 2 of the ones you listed don't match any of the hints given on TFW, so I don't know what to think about this.

I also don't know who Guard is though, so if anyone has any insights to offer on that I'd greatly appreciate it, as the Wiki isn't helping for once.

Guard and DK3 are Diaclone references. I think Guard is just a black Ironhide.

Hopefully a purple lift ticket rather than red if there is one.

Evil Eye wrote:Guard and DK3 are Diaclone references. I think Guard is just a black Ironhide.

I knew they were Diaclones and I'd heard that DK3 was blue Trailbreaker, I'd just never heard Guard before. Another black Ironhide right after the Netflix one, though? I'll be honest, while that does sound like something HasTak would do, that only furthers my skepticism.

I believe he's more specifically patterned after the Diaclone black Ironhide pre-TF rather than the Deseeus drone.

blackeyedprime wrote:Hopefully a purple lift ticket rather than red if there is one.

The BotCon one uses the red variant, so that's more likely to be used. Should they do the blue one, it'll get a new name.

I'll live in hope and worse case, find some valejo paint XD I already have the t30 botcon but I have a thing for hoist so no doubt I'll buy another red one

Could be the Earthrise mold instead of Siege.

Plus, people often forget that Diaclone Black Ironhide/SG Ironhide's secondary color is red.

It was released as an e-hobby special to boot:


Transformers Encore Protection Black Ironhide Gallery

Fairly certain I have that Ehobby black Ironhide BUT, I remember having a Black Ironhide as a child, I think it was the Diakron release that was a TRU exclusive or a KO of sorts.

I would be very happy if they would make a toy colored Cyclonus, preferably with an IDW head

Well since they’re out there now….

Guard is the weird one of the list. Sandstorm and Buzzsaw (the molding exist for this one though) aren’t on any of the order sheets that I have seen.

The 2022 selects that I know are….

Tra Gen Selects Titan Black Zarak 2x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx Clampdown (sideswipe police car) 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx LiftTicket 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx DK-3 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx Guard 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Voy Cyclonus’ Armada 8x per case

I can’t provide the product numbers rn though due to the infancy of the order sheets.

...well, I was writing a big summary of the clues from TFW, and how I found it weird that they would do a more-accurate Diaclone/SG Ironhide and call it Guard instead of SG Ironhide, and then JTPrime removed the need for that. Gonna be interesting to see how Clampdown works out, seeing as how this means he's gonna be getting two different releases in the exact same release avenues as Deep Cover. I'm still waiting on Sandstorm though, so here's hoping he shows up somewhere regardless to his absence here!

Cybertron Mode and Earth Mode Clamp Down?

And we really have two Sandstorms to consider:

Transformers BotCon Exclusives Sandstorm Gallery


Transformers Machine Wars Sandstorm Gallery

As for Sandstorm and Buzzsaw. Supposedly they’re legit I just haven’t seen their listings.

If any one front pages this info, I’d appreciate it if you don’t mention me. Thanks!

Maybe Michael Bay is a hard-core fan after all and chose to have Iron Hide be black as a Diaclone deep cut.

The summary in question was just a post on this thread so everyone would be on the same page regarding clues/info. I'm not on the news team, so it was never gonna be a news post.

Also, yay Sandstorm! Assuming it is the BW one, I'm gonna call him Sandcrawler in my collection/canon to try to keep the Sandstorm name reuse to a minimum.

I'm assuming the Sandstorm that would be showing up would be the BW one as a Kingdom Scorponok repaint, as that was what Evil Eye originally mentioned and the Machine Wars one would require a repaint of a different Selects figure, but I am trying to keep the possibilities open until someone specifies.

Nemesis Primal wrote:Also, yay Sandstorm! Assuming it is the BW one, I'm gonna call him Sandcrawler in my collection/canon to try to keep the Sandstorm name reuse to a minimum.

"Sandstorm" was always just an alias. His real name was "Scorpius".

True, but I kinda prefer Sandcrawler now that it's in my head. Plus, it kinda fits with Hasbro's habit of taking names from their other IPs to give names to both new TFs (Lift-Ticket, for instance) and TFs in need of new names due to lost trademarks (the ever popular Shockblast), even though I assume Hasbro probably doesn't have enough authority over their Star Wars rights to use that practice like this.

I bought a second Kingdom Cyclonus because I was nearly certain they wouldn't release a recolored one for his Armada. He's only in one or two shots! Of course, the reason I wanted it was all of the other recolors they've done like the reformatted Megatron and Galvatron.

I also never cracked the second copy open, so I guess I still had some doubts!

We were handed a list of case contents based off of what retailers have/can order/ed for what we have coming in 2022 so far for the Transformers Generations Selects line. None of these are exclusives, they can be ordered by any toy retailer though as you can see from the case numbers below, they come in bulk, making them more likely to be ordered by online retailers who ship from a warehouse.

Tra Gen Selects Titan Black Zarak 2x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx Clampdown (sideswipe police car) 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx LiftTicket 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx DK-3 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Dlx Guard 24x per case

Tra Gen Selects Voy Cyclonus’ Armada 8x per case

We do not know what Guard refers to though some fans speculate as to it being a black Ironhide redeco. DK-3 is the Blue Trailbreaker that was released under the Diakron line in the US.

Clampdown will depend on which mold with the siege one being poop.

I'll skip Cyclonus just because it feels like I have too many of him already (G1, classics,CW, Takra, Kingdom).

Guard is probably a no unless it's off the the rumored new sculpt of Ratchet tho it's likely a cheaper way of painting one up as iron hide or Ratchet than trying to find the doublepacks.

If Lift Ticket is red, I'd like to think I could pass on him but I know I won't.

DK3 is a must even though i'm trying to limit how many uses of a mold I get.

Black Zarak was preordered Day 1 for me.

Would Cyclonus’ Armada be him in a toy accurate deco?

As much as I like the diaclone homages, I was hoping that there would be more diversity. Though there will be several exclusives that might be interesting too.

I'm not expecting it, but I'd love to see this be based on the "Dirgeclonus" coloring error in FFoD

Whatever, if SS86 Sweep, a slightly differently colored Scourge can work as the "no name" troop builder, I can see that Select Cyclonus having that exact same purpose.

Me when half of the Selects figures are Diaclone repaints

I can see us getting a Cyclonus repaint. Eventually. The toy deco is really different and, IMO, superior. It might take a while, but I can see it happening.

Ok so Bluestreak is coming in 2021 then?

Rodimus Prime wrote:Ok so Bluestreak is coming in 2021 then?

Considering the Target listing for an exclusive Legacy "Silverstreak" that popped up with all those mainline Legacy listings, I'm pretty sure he isn't Selects.

I welcome our new Diaclone overlords! I hope we eventually get a Loudpedal repaint of Tracks/Road Rage, as well as Crosscut, Burn Out, Screech, and Reboost from the "rumored" new Skids figure to come out next year in the "Transformers Legacy" line.

"Dirgeclonus"? Will have to look that up! Been a damned long time since I saw FFoD!

*Edit*

Whoa, he actually looks pretty damned cool!

Agreed. I'm not a fan of the lilac but the figure is far, far too good to pass up.

Found on Twitter

Oof! I need to pay more attention to this thread.

While the toy has been available to preorder on Hasbro Pulse for a while now (at $169.99 USD), we have some new product shots from Takara now that they are revealing the product themselves for their own preorder.

It turns out, while these are real photos and not renders, they have the exact same poses found on the renders on Hasbro Pulse. These give us the best indication yet at the finished product.

You can order it here : https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... lack-zarak

Black Zarack looks glorious.
