that's awesome!. But if they had time to give Rotorstorm a new head, I'm sure in the 4 and 1/2 months until Hothouse is released that Hasbro can fix that.

UK retailers are stating October release date for hot house though I doubt they will get him before Pulse does.

Why not? They got Studio Series Overload, Earthrise Sky Lynx and Scorponok in before anyone else

Entertainment Earth is also saying October.

Have to say, I'm very disappointed with Hot House. He was the base I was looking forward to the most (still have the one from my childhood as well as Ironworks) and they really went the lazy way with a straight repaint. HATE the baby blue, it has no place on this figure. Should be dark blue and used sparingly, but I guess that's gang molding for you. Would have preferred the blue parts be orange and then the firehouse be painted dark blue so the front would be orange like the original. Why did they ever give this mold tracks if not to make a proper tank mode? There's got to be an official tank mode in this mold that they haven't shown us yet. The black guns should have been orange, too. And then I had to go and pay and extra $8 to get it off EE since Pulse sold out so quickly just to add insult to injury. So far this is my least favorite figure in the WFC lineup.

It is disappointing about Hothouse just being a straight up Airwave repaint. At least Greasepit had some newly molded parts to differentiate him a bit more from Ironworks. ALL of these Micromaster bases could have used unique head sculpts too. It's not surprising that we only got two unique modular base molds, though. Siege only gave us three modular Deluxe Class molds, all Weaponizers. Each got a repaint as one of the Powerdashers, so that's six releases altogether. Earthrise is following the same trend. We're getting two modular figures that act as base modes for Micromasters, and a third as another Weaponizer, Fasttrack, as a companion accessory for Titan Class Scorponok. Ironworks has been repainted into Greasepit. Airwave has been repainted into Hothouse. And we know that Fasttrack will be repainted into Black Roritchi, the repaint of Fasttrack that came with the Japan-only Black Zarak, a retool/repaint of Scorponok from the Super God Masterforce portion of G1. That gives us six total modular Deluxe class figures again, with three unique molds, each one repainted exactly once.

Well I can't say I'm disappointed because I wasn't looking forward to Hot House in the first place. I just don't care that much about the micromaster bases (I'm thinking about maybe getting Ironworks but none of the other guys). Still looking forward to the other reveals though. Hopefully the leaks are true and they include Bug Bite, Roritchi, and G2 Megatron. I'm only looking forward to the first two if that is the case, I've never really been into the G2 Megs look.

This guy has a straight up Gundam head. Loving these colors better than any of the other versions of this mold for sure!

Well I am not one to be critical usually, BUT....

Should be called "Hot Mess." While I have nothing against "colorful" transformers, this looks like something my younger brother and I would've made out of his Basic Lego set when we were 7-10 years old. To me being colorful is ok as long as as they coordinate... This just looks like a hodge podge of colors thrown together, which makes the alt modes even more problematic.

Some people may like it, but for me it's an easy pass.

Not if you subscribed to Hasbro Pulse and have free shipping on all orders for the year

So out of curiosity assuming you have Pulse Plus, how many orders under $50 have you done this year?

4

Then it's been worth it for you. This would have been the only one for me, so in that case it wouldn't be worth it for me.

G2 Megs looks pretty good. Not exactly perfect (still hate that headsculpt), but it looks better than I expected

What??? It's been a long week at work so I haven't been paying much attention but when was this revealed??? I freaking want this! I'm a sucker for funky-colored camo, and G2 Megs is some of the funkiest.

As far as I'm aware it leaked today wth a YouTube video. Unfortunately the video was privated before I could actually watch it otherwise I'd link it

Yeesh. I'll give it this, it looks a little better than I expected. But personally I just don't like how G2 Megs looks (I'm not sure yet if I just don't like the look of camo or if its just garish camo like this). I was pretty sure this wasn't going to get me to buy earthrise Megatron, but at least now I know it for sure. Happy for anyone who likes this though.

From a TFW2005 post about this figure, it was the Kevin Liu YouTube channel and the figure's code is WFC-GS14.

Thanks to Seibertronian Sentinel Primal, we have word of an anticipated Generations Selects figure that was posted on Twitter, by user @ARCTIC_STORM. It appears to be a slight remold of the War for Cybertron Megatron figure, with his classic green and purple G2 deco, along with a new G2 toy accurate head.







While this figure has not been officially announced, this looks to be legitimate, and not just a well done custom.

What do you think of this find? Excited for some G2 goodness in the Selects line? Let us know below, and stay tuned for the latest Transformers news!
