True, I forgot about the May mayhem toys, guess the mark up is down to the retailers greed.

Either them or entertainment earth.
But the Generations Select Megatron and Red Swoop showed up om BBTS.
Then sure, all those places too. The two first mentionned though will have the best prices.
Exactly, as bbts and the like will probably get them from one of the first two then sell at a mark up. It's no different from how places sell Tomy Takara Mall exclusive items
You know what, I am not sure. Because those places sell it at the same mark up they sell regular releases at and we know they get those directly from Hasbro. So its maybe just like the May Mayhem toys which are online only but some retailers will sell them at a markup because they can.

Here's a bit of funny trivia about this red Seeker.
In the current Japanese dub of Transformers: Cyberverse, the Decepticon Seeker Thrust has instead been credited by the name "Red Wing". Oops.

I will say that is one sharp ass deco though and would jump if it happens to sell poorly and hits the e-discount bins (which is where all the select figures have fallen on my radar so far).
EDIT: oops, forgot about Smokescreen - that dude's on lock down

There are only 4 confirmed so far IIRC--- Starscream & Thundercracker in the mainline, Skywarp (presumably an Amazon Exclusive), and Redwing in Selects. Am I missing any?

Might be interested in this guy just to have a Red Wing, but depends on the price. I don't much care if all the seekers on my shelf are the same mold, so might as well let red wing be this one.

That's all of them... so far. Once a conehead is released, expect the other two right on his heels.
Just how many groups of Seekers do we have already in-fiction? IIRC we have:
- Original Trio
- Coneheads
- Rainmakers
- Decepticon Air Force (the purple ones)
And the stand-alone:
- Sunstorm
- Nacelle
- Red Wing
- Slipstream

Is there a Transformers equivalent to Pandora's Box? Because the amount of Seeker redecos, not counting the randomly-colored crowd fillers, seems to be endless now

Red Wing continues to be the best looking version of that mold, the red is so juicy! I'm hoping pre-orders go up soon

Seeing him beside Thundercracker made me realize I'm an idiot for not realizing he had completely different color placement.

So, what are the chances that the Selects line is how we'll be recieving the Coneheads any time there's a compatible mold? It'd be pretty cool if we get Tetrajet Coneheads but I doubt the transformation scheme for the current Tetrajet is compatible enough to retool the legs and wings correctly
Re: In Hand Images of Transformers Generations Select Red Wing

I'm personally thinking Coneheads might be in the remaining 2 sections of the WFC trilogy. I think they are unique enough for their own mold and it would work out to get the 84 and then 85 seekers in 2 different back to back lines

We have some incredible new images of the exclusive Transformers Generations Selects Redwing. Iamnofire has the toy in hand and has gone all out on taking images of it in both modes. This gives us our best look yet at the deco in alt mode. The gallery was posted on the Transfans Facebook page.
The standard price will be $29.99 but it is not certain exactly who will be carrying him at that price. Hasbro Pulse is the most likely bet.

My main question is what stand is that in the pictures? It looks great for Decepticons.
Lovely pictures btw, and if this guy retails for $30, that would be awesome. If only they did that with Skywarp...

I like it, it makes me think that he's the Decepticon version of tracks, totally in love with himself (more so then screamer), the slick paint job enforces it

If anything, both Starscream and Red Wing should have the smirking face while Thundercracker should have gotten the blank face.

But it fits his "devil may care" attitude so much better than the blank face Starscream got.mentre83 wrote:I kind of hate its smirking face.
