Better Image of Million Publishing Transformers Generations Exclusives Poll

Posted by El Duque May 14, 2014 at 10:58pm CDT 21,550 views
Here's a better look at the full page from Million Publishing's latest Transformers Generations volume. A poll with ten potential repaint/redecos for upcoming exclusives. They are as follows:

  1. Alpha Trion using the Generations Scourge mold
  2. The Fallen using the Generations FoC Onslaught mold
  3. Sunstreaker Police Type using the Universe Sunstreaker mold
  4. Smokescreen using the Universe Smokescreen mold
  5. Autobot Drift Black Version using the Generations Drift mold
  6. Omnibot Overdrive using the Universe Smokescreen mold
  7. Ominbot Camshaft using the Generations Wheeljack mold
  8. Omnibot Downshift using the Universe Ironhide mold
  9. Beast Wars Silverbolt using the Beast Hunters Grimwing mold
  10. Goshooter using the Generations Nightbeat mold

I'd like bigger images, but I like that Silverbolt. I don't generally import, but I might make an exception in the off-chance that the polls go in Silverbolt's favor.

Goshooter uses Bumblebee's head.

Yes to all except The Fallen, Black Drift, and Camshaft (though I'd probably be guilt tripped into buying Cam if the other 2 Omnibots were made). Ah heck... just yes to them all. Classics rule.

My vote is for Go Shooter (on the condition he gets a retooled head) with Silverbolt a close second.

These are good choices for tie-in exclusives, but lets see an omnibot 3-pack outside of the Million umbrella, please.

Million Publishing exclusives are always straight redecos. Goshooter gets an existing head for that mold.

Going by my limited Japanese Alpha Trion's gun would be Vector Sigma (possibly the key), the Fallen uses the Ruination head, and Camshift uses some Tracks parts.

Personally I think Chevy Aveo Swerve makes a good Neon G1 red Omnibot.

Now that we have the larger/clearer images, I want the Omnibots more than before. I don't think the vehicle modes are perfect, by any means, but these clearly (to me) were chosen based on robot modes, and those robot modes look about as much as classics renditions of the originals as you can get with any of the classics molds currently available.
I'm all for it.

Snakas of Autobase Aichi has more info on this - http://snakas.blog95.fc2.com/blog-entry-3736.html

Fellow user BraveMax wrote the following about the info Snakas wrote:
BraveMax wrote:Snakas has more info up. This is from the Generations Book to be released this weekend. It's a vote for the next book's exclusive, who will figure prominently into part two of the "Train Wars" story. You vote for it when you send in the post card to buy Shouki.

These are all mockups (photoshops, I think), so some will vary from the final product.

Going down the list; his comments with addendums from what I can make out from the pic. I've got the book incoming soon, so I'll update when I get it in hand:

1. Alpha Trion from Scourge. Will come with Vector Sigma. The rest of it is hard for me to understand - I think it says the Vector Sigma will be a repaint of a Sparkbot? That or "the Vector Sigma that appropriated the Sparkbots" - so maybe some reference to a specific story?
2.The Fallen from FOC Onslaught. The combined mode head will be Ruination's, not Bruticus'.
3. Sunstreaker (Police Type) from Sunstreaker. It notes that this name is a placeholder, and says that he'll come with sirens and a partner.
4. Smokescreen from Smokescreen. Notes that it's using the same colors as the G2 Bomber - as in, the text below the picture does. So... Making that reference official?
5. Autobot Drift (Black Version) from Drift. Notes that this name is a placeholder.
6. Overdrive from Prowl. No notes.
7. Camshaft from Wheeljack. Notes that Tracks' weapons will also be included. (Snakas says it will use Tracks' weapons, but the picture says that "Tracks' parts will also be included.")
8. Downshift from Ironhide. No notes.
9. Metals Silverbolt from BH Grimwing. No notes.
10。GoShooter from "Goldbug Bumblebee" (IDW Bumblebee). Says the head will be Nightbeat's, and that it will come with his partner, Gou Shuuta, but that they haven't decided what toy that will be yet.

Snakas also notes that they're planning on including Microns and other forms of partners with all of these, though I haven't found that info in the pic yet.

Hmmmm... I may know what some notes are actually saying:

1. The Sparkbots may refer to the Kiss Players Sparkbots, who are repaints of the BWII EggBeasts. All three transform into spheres, the exact shape of Vector Sigma. I think the EggBot is the most natural form Vector Sigma will take after transformation.

2. Ruination's head has the same kind of "mouth" as Dreamwave's The Fallen. So that could give way for possibilities, like the combination mentioned before.

6. So Overdrive comes with a lightbar? Odd.

7. I wonder which Tracks parts they'd use? The back and bumper bits?

10. Can't wait to see what they'll pick. If Daniel is anything to go by, probably another PCC Mini-Con.

Since Snakas said the weapons, probably those clip on guns Tracks had that Wheeljack replaced with wrenches.

I'm really digging the idea of getting the Omnibots finally in the "Classics" line. The mold choices for the repaints are definitely a lot more clever and well thought out than some people are giving credit for. My worry is that, even if we get one of them, we'll ONLY get that one. I'd love to get the Omnibots as a whole set. Does anyone thing Million Publishing would offer a gift set of them at a higher price than their exclusives usually sell for?

Agreed. Definitely want all 3, not just 1. Also, I'm not familiar with this Million Publishing thing; will we be able to buy these in the USA, without paying some ridiculous 2nd hand prices?

It's a Japanese Publishing company, so no. Maybe Hasbro or even the Club will take of the less complex ideas (SG Smokescreen anyone?)

Possibly. They sold the Skids and Screech 2 pack a little while ago.

Short answer, no. Long answer: Million Publishing are a Japanese company that publishes TF art books, as well as these Generations books, which are in-depth guides to TF product. They offer exclusives like this which, even in Japan, can only be purchased by buying the book, mailing in a post card that comes in the book, and waiting several months. As such, there certainly isn't an easy shortcut for those outside of Japan to get them.

I think I've seen some of these (if I'm not mistaken) on TFSource for reasonable prices in the past, so that give me some hope.
