Chinese Language Video Review of Transformers Generations Selects TTGS-09 Super Megatron

Really??? With all that struggling the reviewer had to do I hope Megatron comes with a shoe horn. I will have zero intention swapping faces on this Megatron.

Regardless on the what this Megatron represents I STILL SAY the tip of his weapon barrel should have matched the paint on his legs...'nuff said!

I'm actually excited for tomorrow's TF Tuesday on Pulse, and the next one as well. Since pretty much everything leaked or speculated has been revealed, even if these are toys I'm not interested in, it will nice to be surprised with something new.

I share your excitement, o.supreme. If I'm honest I'm hoping for another Siege seeker or even a 2-pack, but would love to be blown away by something like Black Zarak.

The one thing we haven't seen this year in Selects is a leader figure, so that is a possibility for one of the 2 reveals.

Unless they have redone that particular pair of joints, don't count on it too much. The shoulder itself houses a soft ratchet, but the connection to the body is a simple mushroom peg on TR Galvatron:

I don't know if it's still a mushroom joint or not, but if it is it's now being pinched in between the front and back halves so there should be at least some more friction there if they haven't built a ratchet into it.

Like maybe a SS Skywarp from Blitzwing to complete the main seeker trio as completely different molds, or one of the Constructicon repaints from RotF, a Nightwatch Optimus Prime, something like that. And Cyberverse wise, how about a Megatron X or Dark Hot Rod?

Is that too much to ask?

Because selects is aimed specifically towards collectors, I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility to see a SS selects someday. But Cyberverse being the current line for kids, I doubt we'll see something like that.

Studio Series is technically a Generations line so it's entirely possible one day. I like the idea of doing the Constructicon variants this way. Plus we're overdue for a Nemesis Prime in the SS line. I wonder if they could retool WfC Earth Soundwave into Bumblebee movie Soundwave? I could also see Nightmare Megatron from the RotF mold, might look good against Nightwatch Optimus Prime.

If a Studio Series Selects line became a thing, above all else I want another shot at Camaro style Cliffjumper.

I was about 10 years old when the 2007 movie came out, I liked the franchise at that point Energon was my introduction funny enough but I do remember watching a little bit of Beast Wars, no Armada but I only became more involved with Cybertron so I was really hyped during the 2007 marketing (my best childhood Transformers memories were the pre-release marketing for the first 3 films).

Cliffjumper came out and was a gift I still have, his doors broke off though but he's in a tub somewhere in my room.




However, I loved the character even more thanks to the Reign of Starscream comic which is a series I really love and personally think is some of the best comics we got in the franchise in general. (Starscream really shines here, Dreadwing and Arcee are also pretty cool here)

Cliffjumper was so bad-ass to child me, and I was always hopeful for his survival since his fate was left ambiguous.





His flashback appearences in other comics just cemented that more, in other continuities I prefer Cliffjumper to be similar but overall different to Bumblebee in physical appearance but in this continuity I really, really loved the two as these bash-brothers even if the idea isn't seen that much overall.




I prayed for his inclusion in ROTF and DOTM, which got to the point where I personally considered Dino to be Cliffjumper (his design screams it by being a red Autobot with a similar enough appearance to Bee, he's not really "Mirage" by all accounts anyways) and still do today much like how I now personally consider ROTF Jolt to actually be DOTM Que due to their similar enough colors and appearance alongside the former's lack of personalty and presence in ROTF even if the ideas are not canon, another more recent idea is TLK Long Haul being the same guy as the Garbage Truck Decepticon from DOTM.


So uh overall 2007 Cliffjumper is actually pretty important to me and I'm still a tad irritated we didn't get much more of him in ROTF and DOTM (in both merchandise and media representation)

Cool, might pick these up as I'm passing on sunstreaker for the mo.

Cordon and Spinout. What a pleasant, and solid looking surprise. Definitely buys for me.

I was trying to check the similarities on the paint for heads on Sunstreaker and Spin Out.

Like any set out there I wager Ebay sellers to split up this set for anyone that want's just one figure or the other.

Welp, guess I'll have to pick up Tigertracks. I may not be able to afford my planned out MP shelf, I can still do a CHUG Diaclone shelf if they reveal a Delta Magnus and Road Rage
