Below is a new review from Kremzeek reviews where they review the upcoming 2 pack and compare it with Sunstreaker. You will find under that video all the info you need regarding this pack including where you can order it and how much it costs.





Transformers Generations Selects Deluxe Spinout and Cordon 2-Pack $39.99
http://q.entertainmentearth.com/?l=1wn8gj

A pre-G1 classic! The Transformers Generations Selects Deluxe Spinout and Cordon 2-Pack draws inspiration from classic Diaclone toys released before the original Transformers toy line from Hasbro. The white Cordon and the red Spinout are ready for battle against the Decepticons as some of the elite Autobot warriors that just never quite made it into their biggest adventures. These WFC-GS20 Cordon and Autobot Spin-Out figures are Hasbro's first U.S. release of the characters. These characters are based on two of the original Takara Tomy Diaclone figures. Originally, the Spin-Out Diaclone was redeo'd yellow and released as Sunstreaker, now a Sunstreaker figure returns the favor. WFC-GS20 set designed for ages 8 and up.

These WFC-GS20 Cordon and Autobot Spin-Out figures are our first U.S. release of the characters. Paying homage to the OGs of converting toys, these characters are based on two of the original Takara Tomy Diaclone figures. Originally, the Spin-Out Diaclone was redeo'd yellow and released as Sunstreaker, now a Sunstreaker figure returns the favor. Cordon and Autobot Spin-out figures both convert from robot to sportscar modes in 16 steps and each figure comes with a blaster accessory that attach to the figures in robot and sportscar modes. Includes Generations Selects Deluxe Class Cordon and Autobot Spin-out figure, 2 accessories, and instructions.

Minor correction. Takara is selling Soundblaster as a normal Siege toy, not a Netflix toy (that previous news story was posted in the Netflix thread instead of the Siege thread).

And fine and good, but why is he 42.99 on Pulse????


Because he comes with the 2 cassettes???

He does not.


I was honestly asking... So that price really doesn't make sense.
I do prefer less of the battle damage paint apps, but no way is that worth $43+.


But if you don't get him, you can't join the Takara Elite where the exact same toys with slightly different paint jobs are at least twice as good as the same toys you can get for half.

Yeah, I wasn't being a jackass, I was honestly answering. The Pulse write-up specifically states he doesn't come with the cassettes. I should said "NArrator Voice: He does not."

It's an import, not a Hasbro piece, so it gets the equivalent to the Japanese price of ¥4,950. It's the same reason why the Selects combiners aren't $110.

And yes, I ordered both Soundblaster and the Terrorcons. :HEADHURTS:

I guess that makes sense. I have a buddy trying to sell me the OG Terrorcons for like 20 bucks, so I'm gonna skip that one.

No it's all good... I was making sure I wasn't coming off as a jackass...
I do have the original... I got him from Walmart when he was just over $22.
Definitely will not get this Takara version, because there are plenty of other figures on the horizon I'm actually excited about (I just posted about my love for SS86 Scourge, and the possibility of getting 3 of those).
But I'm still tempted by that Abominus set!!

The diaclone duo is a want but I'm not paying £10 more over two seperate selects deluxes just to have them.

Cosplayer looks better for having an undamaged chest and I dont mind it not being black with it not really being Soundblaster but it's not worth the price to me when I'd struggle to justify earthmode Soundwave with cassettes (Ravage is pretty much just chest filler) at the same price.

Greetings Seibertronians! We've got two video reviews to share with you all today, both covering the same figure, the forthcoming Transformers Generations Selects Bugbite!

The first is a review from fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime.



The second is a review from new YouTube toy reviewer, The Mr Stan Show.



Generations Selects Bugbite is a redeco of Earthrise Deluxe Class Cliffjumper with Bumblebee's head. He's also sporting the Mercenary badge. This marks the second time that Cliffjumper served as the basis of a Selects figure, following Hubcap who also uses a different head.

What do you think of this toy? Do you have a preorder in for this hired gun? Or do you still wish that they had redeco'ed Bumblebee completely, keeping the VW like alt mode? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I pre-ordered Mercenary Soundblaster tonight, decided I wanted the 3rd and for the moment final Mercenary toy. It'll be fun to get him and experience the mold in this way.

Comment by ZeldaTheSwordsman Oct 12, 2020
I am of the opinion that Bugbite is worthless and will remain worthless until a conversion kit comes out. Or unless, miracle of miracles, Hasbro recalls the existing run and redoes him with the Bumblebee version of the mold. The version they should have used in the first place.

I'm going to be negative and uncompromising about this, and here's why:

His name is Bugbite. There's at least 10x the wordplay of Bumblebee's name baked into that. Hasbro should have used the Bumblebee version of the mold, dug out the Classics mold and rehashed G.O.D. Bugbite (at Voyager price if need be), or just not bloody bothered. Because with that name, he needs to be a VW Bug, whether licensed or genericized. The Cliffjumper version of the mold is neither, so this is a complete and total waste of plastic. I'd rather buy an incomplete Armada Side Swipe at WFC Leader price, than this excuse for Bugbite.

It's not going to happen, if it ever was they would of done that instead of going through the effort to have a version of the Cliffjumper mold with Bee's head.

This is very likely a legal thing where VW don't want a licensed evil VW Transformer figure.

I'm more disappointed about the lack of purple patterning on the doors/hood personally.

His chest window is also cleaner with far less window cracks in it.

But what's also interesting is that Hasbro is treating this toy as a Selects figure while Takara is instead treating it as a normal Siege figure.


I wonder if that means that Hasbro actually assigns the TT-GS numbers. That might explain the almost completely random way they have been numbered so far and TT's Siege Nemesis Prime not having one.
Now you got me wondering. Have we seen the "TT-GS" (TakaraTomy Generations Selects) ID numbers on any of the TakaraTomy Mall listings, or only on their Hasbro Pulse listings? :-?


All Selects ID's are Hasbro, TakaraTomy doesn't assign any to their releases in a strange twist.

This. Botcon and Flame Toys did it, I have no idea why the Selects one couldn't have had that color scheme

My guess is they were trying to be faithful to the original toy's deco.

After all, the BotCon version was a body upgrade from that toy, so the new Bugbite toy may be intended to resemble his base form as a Transformer.

If they aren't faithfull to the original toys mold, no need to be faithful on the deco either. Bugbites names just been slapped on a Bumblejumper figure for the most part.

Well, they might have wanted to make it as close as Volkswagen would let them.

Just received an email from Pulse, Super Megs is delayed till December 1st. My wallet says cool but seeing others with him has my jonesing for my plastic fix.

Comment by o.supreme Oct 13, 2020
Delays are annoying, but tolerable if they haven't charged you. If they have, then that is pretty messed up. I didn't order Super Megs, but I saw that date on their website a while back...Do they wait until the last minute to push back the dates? God Neptune is 10/24, and we haven't received the inevitable delay notice yet...

Comment by aronjlove Oct 13, 2020
Thankfully Pulse doesn't charge until a week before shipping. They used to send me emails prior to charging my card but haven't received those emails lately. And while the order page for Super Megatron had been updated with a new date, twice, this is the first email I've received about a delay. Still better communication than Walmart.

Which brings up this question: has there ever been an official white Classic Beetle? Outside of Herbie :lol:
