The collector oriented "Generations Selects" toyline, should be unveiled soon. Hopefully we'll see pictures of soon "red" Swoop as well as Ricochet (a black and gold repaint of POTP Jazz). Both listings were previously found on Midtown Comics.
We also know of one of the new upcoming figures, Combat Hero Megatron in arctic camo colors! He is to be a redeco of the new Siege Voyager Class Megatron. For those who don't know, Combat Hero Megatron in arctic camo colors is an unreleased redeco of G2 Combat Hero Megatron. The gallery for this unreleased figure can be found here.
The toys will be available at specialty stores and online, similar to Combiner Wars Deluxe Class Quickslinger, Brake-neck and Groove. They will be available in cases of 24.
So, are you excited? Be sure to tune in to us for additional news about this collector oriented line, and leave a comment in the Pub forums below!

I would be more tempted if they released it with the more traditional G2 shape. Siege Megatron looks amazing, and I am aching to get my paws on one, but the mold is made to be G1 cartoon Megatron, not his G2 reimagining. He's got to have a big, protruding chest made up of the front of the tank. He's also got to have a way to mount the Fusion Cannon over his right shoulder, not on his right forearm.
If Hasbro is going to release some G2 goodness in this "Select Series," why not give us a nice G2 Sideswipe from the new Siege mold? That'll work perfectly! G2 Sideswipe was always a straight up repaint of his G1 mold with new weapons.

...More combiner components please...

True, we do need a proper G2 Blastoff but that's even LESS likely. Same with G2 Defensor.

At this point, I think that might almost be guaranteed. Not so sure are the weapons, but I do hope for them.

Not to mention it would look good alongside the already G2 Hero Megatron that Takara Tomy released under the Transformers Legends line. However, I would also love to get a modern G2 green tank Megatron that is a proper update to that toy.
Heck, I'd also like to get this as part of a G1 reissue line as a way to get a G1 Megatron on store shelves.

Yep. Then we'd have a small collection exclusively of modern G2 Megatrons.

Yes it would have had a Jet Mode Reverse Convoy never had, but it was an extremely easy exclusive to make.

As a Pretender Legion Class figure, not as a Voyager. Big difference in my book.

I need both of these things in my life! If they do a G2 Blastoff, it would be amazing if it included G2 Decepticon symbols to cover up the erroneous ones on the other figures.

here's hoping Ricochet comes with a Siege Battlemaster!
Also, hope red Swoop turns out good. If he does, I will need another blue Swoop and a deluxe Groove to make myself some proper combiners using those members

I was happy to get the Legends purple Megatron because I had the exclusive Laser Optimus Prime that I could somewhat place against him, but this arctic Megatron on his own doesn't do anything for me.

Why not the venerable Universe Nightstick mold?
