Am I the only one holding out hope for a Selects G2 Shuttle Blastoff?

The rest of her is created with some more clever repainting, this time in orange and two different shades of purple.

Uh , thanks for the enlightenment.
So it's like Betatron and Computron.

Percisely I'd imagine Starscream would be the same if they ever made two more jets for him to combine with.

Never say NEVER with having the GS line now. They are not done with combiners yet.
So it'll be Grand Starscream with whom ever and King Starscream with the "Seekers"? Only problem is Darkwing and Dreadwind are no original Seekers. But does anybody care as long as they are Decepticon jets?

Honestly, I find it preferable for them to use non-Seeker jets as limbs for Starscream, considering. As far as rounding out the jet limb set goes, I would personally like to see them do Hydra and Buster. I'm sure Takara would be happy to go that route.
Of course, if you think about it, doing G2 Shuttle!Blast Off would also round out the jet limb set because then there'd be two different displaced Jet!Blast Offs.

This breaking news was submitted to us by Seibertron.com member Jtprime17, and first reported on the boards at tfw2005.com. Apparently, "Hobby Corner" on Facebook has announced that they have opened up pre-orders for this highly anticipated last piece needed to complete the "Orthia" combiner as hinted by Greenlight's bonus information on transformers.com when entering the password "LANCER." Unlike Greenlight, though, Lancer appears to be part of the Transformers Generations Selects line, as WFC-GS05. Even better, "Hobby Corner" has revealed an in-hand photo of Lancer. This picture reveals that, also unlike Greenlight, Lancer is not retooled from the Power of the Primes Moonracer and Novastar (a.k.a., Firestar) mold, except for her new, unique head sculpt. The rest of her is created with some more clever repainting, this time in orange and two different shades of purple. Lancer also comes with a repaint of Novastar's gun accessory and a repainted "Prime Armor" piece to serve as a hand in arm mode when combined to form Orthia (or the previously named "Elita Infin1te" from PotP, if you prefer). Unfortunately, again, unlike Greenlight, Lancer also doesn't come with a Battle Master partner as a bonus. Take a look for yourself at Lancer below!
