The character born from a BotCon 2013 comic error may finally be getting his first figure in Generations Selects! And, appropriately, we're learning about this possibility thanks to an error on Hasbro's part. When Hasbro Pulse first listed the upcoming Combat Megatron figure they accidentally gave the package content for a figure that is decidedly not Megatron.
The page has been since updated with the correct contents; "Generations Selects Combat Megatron figure".
So why is this a big deal and who even is Red Wing anyway? Well for starters he was supposed to be an orange Seeker as the original incarnation of Hotlink in a collaboration between BotCon and Japan's e-Hobby which was going to contribute a new Sunstorm figure, both using the Classics Seeker mold. That plan would fall through and the name Hotlink would be given to the purple Rainmaker figure that same year. However, a cameo for the unnamed orange bot was planned for the BotCon 2013 comic in homage to their original plan, but after printing the character turned out red! And thus, Red Wing was born, though he wouldn't receive a name until fans spotted him in the comic and wanted to know who he was.
And it didn't end there. He would surface multiple times over the years, including a Japanese Kre-O comic and a character in the Transformers Legends game. Despite a strong fan demand a figure has remained elusive all these years. Could Red Wing finally be getting his first figure, likely a repaint of Siege Voyager Starscream? Time will tell. For now, let us know what you think in the Energon Pub forums below!
Includes: Voyager Class Decepticon Red Wing figure, 2 weapon accessories, and instructions.

Absolutely yes. That is not just a typo you don't accidentally type such a very specific name instead of Megatron. It will be coming out question is when.

I thought that Megatron would come with a mini red wing not that Red Wing was a voyager figure.

Depending on how his colors look, he may be a good addition to my general display for a Tetrajet triad as I don't intend to pick up Siege Starscream, but probably will pick up Thundercracker and Skywarp as I don't have proper voyagers for them and like the Tetrajet look

Well, Idk how happy others are for this, but when I was still in the RPG on this site I came up with a whole profile for Redwing and his personality, and he even has a conjunx (another seeker called Amethyst). So this is super amazing news if this is true. I made him a very "calm, cool, and collected" type character who was very suave, well trained in weapons and battle tactics, and also a paint detailer in his spare time. He was formerly one of the seekers who was involved in the construction of more seekers. Anyways, this guy would be amazing if this is the case. Even if they do make him a different type of personality than my take, I'll go by my own headcanon.

The art the article used is official art posted likely on the TFCC twitter for the character years ago, it is not related to the current rumored figure aside from being the same character. The actual figure will probably be a redeco of Siege Starscream.

I like the idea of more seekers but as i'm trying to keep my collection a bit more streamlined these days that and i'm not a biggest fan of the final siege seeker product.
Happy for those that wanted him. if they do more i hope they keep Nacelle a mix between standard seeker and the thrust/conehead.

I hope they get around to a Hotlink colored seeker... and maybe a welcoming committee and/or rainmaker set for a convention. Reliving the early G1 episodes is what I think we're interested in for this line, and while I like the notion of a new character... I'd hate it to bump someone out of the slot.
Thinking about this, I do hope they can use Pulse as an avenue to squeeze in a few new original characters. I'm sure a lot of people are getting their fill of prime and bee.

No worries...so would this likely be a red repaint of the Siege Voyager Starscream? It's an interesting name, considering the Marvel character of the same name (Falcon's actual bird companion reimagined as a drone in the MCU)I still think he should have had an actual bird...

Looks like Selects Siege Combat Hero Megatron should start shipping out today for those that ordered over the weekend. I just got my shipment notification and should have it in hand tomorrow.
Now the wait is on to see how much longer Ricochet and Red Swoop are going to be. And if the Siege wave 2 deluxes from HTS are really going to be shipped April 1st.

Odd, I never took the time to notice on Pulse the Combat Hero Megatron was actually an in-stock item, not just a pre-order. It's a little disappointing they did not get Red Swoop and Ricochet out first, but oh well...hopefully all in good time.

I wasn't expecting it so soon, and will admit in my haste to order it, I didn't read the fine print.
Looks like it should arrive by Friday.

Yeah, it is weird that we knew about Ricochet and red Swoop for longer and both of those molds would have been free and not being used for Siege wave 1, but Megs somehow got to the front of the line. Robot Kingdom still says shipping March 25th for both deluxes, so my guess is that we'll have to wait a bit longer.

I think some early copies of the megs voyager had a loose pin in the plate the head is connected too, and it couldn't stay in position since it clips in to nothing to secure it in place; unless that has changed with this figure, in which, I need one now

We have a double whammy of Generations Selects G2 Megatron this time, folks! Seibertron member Megatronus has supplied us with an extensive selection of comparison photos of G2 Megatron alongside his Seige deco whilst Seibertron member Lore Keeper has finally given us an in depth English language review video. Megatronus' images are below and we have mirroed Lore Keeper's video which can also be viewed on their Youtube channel, TF Collector.
If you were on the fence before about this figure, have the new shots and review finally tipped you one way or the other? Or is that 90s retro deco simply too much to overcome? Let us know on the Energon Pub right here on Seibertron.com!

I get what he's saying. The alt mode looks like Megatron squatted, raised his arms in the air, and then fell over face first. With some weapons parts forming, of course. I bought the figure for the robot mode, just like Prime.ZeroWolf wrote:blackeyedprime wrote:It might be ugly but it has already grown on me and my bizarre crave for G2 toys.

I have some hope that this SELECTS thing will be Hasbro's answer to the collector's club. While I will certainly miss the fiction, comics, convention, etc... I'm glad they are finding a way to crank out some real oddball figures and decos clearly aimed at older, long-standing fans.
For Hasbro's primary market — and for the main demographic of kids — I know they have to saturate with Bumblebee and Optimus and the most popular characters and decos. That doesn't leave much room for obscure characters and decos, G2 homage, Marvel and japanese characters, etc. (Or sometimes even finishing out the seeker trio. Ouch.)
Even if this Megatron doesn't exactly float your boat, it should sound an alarm that this is Hasbro's project for adults. I hope some people on the line can chip in to get the figure and make Selects a success so we can continue to get FAN-centric, ADULT-based figures.
Speak with your wallets.

Yes and yes, I love what Hasbro is doing with the Selects line and by extension what Pulse if providing for collectors.gothsaurus wrote:Even if this Megatron doesn't exactly float your boat, it should sound an alarm that this is Hasbro's project for adults. I hope some people on the line can chip in to get the figure and make Selects a success so we can continue to get FAN-centric, ADULT-based figures.
Speak with your wallets.

I guess that's bad that I really like his tank mode...
Ehh, I like Animated Shockwave's tank mode too, so...
The deco of Camo Meg is giving me a... strange thought process. I mean, I like the deco, but I wonder if I like it more than the Siege version

What's wrong with the mold? Looks pretty good for a tank megs.

Think of it this way: how many pure grey/silver tank Megatrons have we had so far?

Plenty
I guess I like the Siege one better, but this Camo one still looks great. Something about the green and black makes it pop

Oh yeah, it does work a lot like Armada Megs, doesn't it? Don't get any ideas, Hasbro! The last time they head swapped a G1 Megatron to make an Armada one, the result was hideous. It's the only Generations toy I don't have on the shelf because I hate it so much.

I really hate reading stuff where the word adult is thrown around willy nilly. So are you saying that these toys can only be for people above 21?
What would make the toys so adult anyway? It's not like this megs converts into a dildo.

I can't get over the tiny head on either, especially when the original mode had a relatively large head. Make the whole thing look like a poorly conceived custom.

I really dont like tanks with out rotating turrets and other toys that have used a similar tank transformation (animated shockwave and Armada Megs) had a lot of other things going for them (multiple modes, rotating turrets, combining etc whilst being great tanks). I know real life tanks exist that dont have rotating turrets but for a toy tank/former its a must for me (since nmost of the 80's tank/robots had a rotating turret, a modern toy has no excuse to not have one) and the alt mode just looks very part here, part there rather than it's a tank look to me.
