Product Codes Found for Transformers Generations Selects G2 Ramjet and Transmutate

Never been a fan of those eye-bleeding colors. Another easy pass.

Come on, those colors work well together. It's not as extreme as Action Masters Thundercracker.

If that G2 Ramjet is easier to get than Sandstorm, I think he would go very well with Netflix Hotlink.

While I am not in need of a G2 collection, I do like these colors and this is a great way to add another Seeker to the roster. Now, name and a bio. Maybe a new Ransack?

Transmutate will likely be the ONLY Fossilizer I buy and that is ONLY because its a show character... Sorta. Even then the FunPub redeco is better than this will be. #NotaFanOfTheFossilizers

Deep Cover: Yes Please. Now we just need Clampdown

What's supposed to be different about the Siege and "Earth" molds? It's just the doors that stand out to me as needing to be changed, but that could easily be passed off as avoiding trademarks.

Good question, but if I had to say what would make something on the Lambor mold an "Earth mold" rather than a Siege mold, maybe a more squared off chest?

I do notice the faux Lamborghini logo on Deep Cover's chest, but that's more a cheat than a change. Still, it could very well be what Hasbro is intending to do and that the rumor is false. I don't know man, I just post here.

I thought the biggest change for an earth mode would be the removal of those big vents behind the roof.

Those vents are a feature on a Lamborghini Countach, they're a little bigger on the Siege mold, but they'd have to change things up for license reasonings. Looks like they'd have to redo the roof and add a spoiler, too, but if all they did was change the doors I'd be fine with that for an unlicensed car.



Emerje

Ah, so that's what those were meant to represent. I'll be honest even though I like the Countache, and I have had quite a few toys of one all my life (including MP Sideswipe), I never made the connection. They just seemed to big and unwieldly on the Siege mold that they made the car look more non earth like. But I realize it's a combo of them being bigger and the very flat roof that made them more evident to me and less so on the earth car.

Also, yeah since this is the Selects toy (I didn't notice the box in the back), I'll merge this thread with selects.

To be fair, if they do an earth mode retool, it will probably be based on the Countach prototype that ER Sunstreaker is molded after rather than the Countach itself.

Hey, that's true!

G2 Ramjet could actually be R63 Splitstream.
This make him much more desirable now!

I'll take just about any Seeker. G2 Ramjet is definitely on my shortlist of most wanted.

Action Master Thundercracker next! I don't want every eye searing deco, but I want that one.

I'm all for eye burning decks (helo Spinister, Misfire and Kroc) but since I already have one Ramjet repaint likely won't be picking him up. As for Deepcover ... boy I really hope they don't do an earth mode Countach, I love my Siege one so much it's perfect as it is damnit! However, if they do it'll be interesting to see if they try to er the vehicle towards the new Sunstreaker mold, kinda like how the Masterpieces have identical vehicles but different robots

I really enjoy Paleotrex, but Transmutate is really going to have to be something special to convince me to get it. I just find that BW episode to be so disturbing and often skip it. It reminds me of the Newborn Alien from Alien Resurrection for some reason ( another film I don't watch). The pics on other sites just showed the one that came with the anniversary figures way back when....which reminds me....that was a Buid-a-figure correct?

Yes.

As a major beast Wars fan, I admit that I so skip it as well. I find it disturbing too, especially due to her design. That face gives me the creeps.

oh wow!!!!

Didn't Wyatt say her colors were based on Overlord though? I agree G2 RJ would make more sense. His color scheme seemed to be the basis for Razormoon's, so I assumed they were Slipstream's too, until I read that footnote on TFWiki.

Ironically, this is making me want to finish up my Classics Seeker collection, as G2 Ramjet and SG Thundercracker are the last gaps I need filled. The ER Seeker mold's better, and I'll probably buy every redeco, but they'll probably never get to every official and KO color scheme I already have in deluxe size. No, I don't have Games of Deception either, but since those 3 were all redone eventually, I'll gladly take unofficial F-15 Rainmakers and purple generics instead.

Yeah yeah, Wyatt insists that it's Overlord.

But, come on, Wyatt. Aside from the teal legs, there's nothing in common between Overlord and Slipstream. She's purple, not blue. While the color layouts don't match, purple and teal are G2 Ramjet's colors.

Does this mean we're getting Clampdown from Siege Red Alert.

Wasn't in any of the leaks or listings that Deep Cover was, so probably not.

oh well. Still getting Deep Cover.

I held out for as long as I could using the same logic. I never got the ko Seekers, but I was convinced Hasbro would not outnumver the Classics Seeker collection. But with 5 Rainmaker Tetrajets (including Hotlink and Red Wing), now 8 Earthrise Molds, they did and I gave in.

I did have the Games of Deception Set, and did not like the Generations Thrust wing set up, so the only one I duplicated was a Dirge-colored-Ramjet. Ironically one of the few color combos not to pop up in G1, but its really easy to say oh look! New Seeker using Ramjet wings and Dirge colors! So if you do pick up GofD (and its a darned nice set. Still a better Bug Bite and a great Dreadwing to go with Universe Darkwind) you can always go that route.

I would much prefer Slipstream had the F15 mold, or at least the standard head. If I had a head swap for her though that would fit this (is the nosecobe modded to fit the Conehead noggin?) I could go for that. But in the meantime I will stick with the Subscription Slipstream and make this one someone else. Still like G2 Ransack for the role.

Yeah, that design is nightmare fuel. Too bad too, its an episode that is not worthyof skipping otherwise. We see a Rampage who feels and an intriguing plot. But yeah, that thing beeded to be killed with fire

Oh no doubt, it's a well written episode, just hard to watch, especially sandwiched between Code of Hero and The Agenda, it would have been better if it came right after Rampages debut and before CoH.

The thing is, the episode references CoH in past tense when Optimus says "I'm not in the mood to lose any more friends."

Funny you should mention that, as I agree that Takara pegging the red parts on so he only has turbines on top of his wings was cheap and nonsensical. But since this was back in the days of yore, a whole decade ago, when deluxes still cost just $10, I found an easy solution: bought a second Thrust, and put its turbines on the undersides of the first one's wings, completing the jet mode in a way that makes it look even more powerful!

I wonder how many other fans did that, and still have a stripped down Generations Thrust lying around somewhere, waiting to be cannibalized for parts?

Tigatron and Airazor were still there?
