We've seen leaks, we've seen rumors, but now we finally have an official reveal (and preorders available!) For the *take a deep breath* Transformers Generations Selects Legacy United Autobots Stand United 5-pack!

This set will be released in the Generations Selects line, meaning that preorders should be available at all the usual online retailers. It consists of five Deluxe figures, all in cartoon decos, and in the case of four of them, no longer including translucent plastic, which should help durability. All five figures are of previously released molds. The five figures are Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, and Trailbreaker, first released in the Earthrise line on 2020; Jazz, released in Studio Series 86 in 2020; and the long rumored and anticipated Hound, in his Earth mode, first released as Detritus in Legacy Evolution in 2023.

This set is scheduled to start shipping in July, with a retail cost around $110 USD, which works out to a cost of $22 USD per figure, less than the current retail cost of a Deluxe. Photos are below.

Let us know what you think of this new set. Did you miss out on Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker when they were first released? Picking it up to finally get a modern Earth-mode Hound in your collection? Sound off in the forums!

Man, Elita One's guns are really being used well. First her, then Medix, now for Wheeljack and Sunstreaker.

Not really, its just that the entire car is now cast in the same yellow plastic, and they don't ned to paint translucent plastic in yellow, which is what causes the mismatched tones of Yellow in the original release.


All in all, the set looks fairly nice.
Wonder if it will be available outside of Hasbro Pulse in any way for those outside the countries served by it.

Stuff like this irritates me. We’ve waited for a proper Earthmode Hound for years and at first chance, they waste it on a peg warmer named Detrius. Now we have to rebuy four other characters many of us already have, or by some miracle, wait for a SS86 release in order to get him.

Why these aren’t two-packs, I don’t know. I just can’t justify paying for a set just to get one character mold I don’t have and four I already have.

Fortunately, I'll only need to rotate out and sell ONE figure in order for all these to be unique additions to my G1 Autobot collection. It was a bit of a scare when the pre-order pages listed them as "SOLD OUT" in the first 10 minutes. Then the page itself vanished after the first hour. But it came back, and the figures are still available as of this moment.

First impression of Hound is that his grey plastic looks 'dirty' somehow, like it caught the light wrong and has some green reflected onto it. I hope that's fixed for the final release and that it's normal grey.

And I knew that Trailbreaker wouldn't be the pale grey in the leaked photos, the lighting looked bad in those early shots. Everything else looks good, and I look forward to reviewing the lot, even though they're all essentially re-releases.

Only 1 reason: $$$

I wonder if this release will cause the original Sunstreaker to go down in price on the 2ndary market.

These figures look really, really good. I'm happy they went the extra mile and gave Wheeljack and Sunstreaker proper guns. I just hope this doesn't backfire and nobody buys it since that might mean hard-to-find figures will stay hard to find. It would be funny if in June Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, and Sunstreaker all of a sudden showed up at Ollies or Ross. I think that this also explains how the recent G2 Jazz had Hound's weapons.

The Detritus mold is garbage anyway.

Sooner or later, they will make a proper "SS86" Hound with his own, brand new mold.

True to form this sells out on Pulse before I even aware of it. lol
Which is a good thing since I'm not tempted to buy just for one figure that I'd probably just be disappointed in anyways. The long wait for Hound only to see it turn out this way really does feel like a gut punch.

Now I guess I'll have to pin my hopes of a new Powerglide to wrap up my collection.

I don't find this set to be anything impressive, but because I do want to have Sunstreaker and Hound in my collection, I've got a preorder placed.
I actually don't like the extra stripes on Jazz, but oh well. The other three that were previously released do look better imo; and I'm happy that the front lower legs of Sunstreaker are solid pieces of plastic and not waffled. Hound is alright, but I'm assuming this is the best version of that character we'll see for a long, long time. I'm sure some think Wheeljack is too bland, but I really like this look for him. And Trailbreaker is definitely icing. Both Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker were figures I never saw and wasn't willing to spend extra money for on the aftermarket.
Imo, the only downside to this set is Jazz having more deco than I think he needs.

True, but I have become accustomed to Pulse with their more timely ETA's and free shipping.

I may give EE a shot since it's free on order over $79 but they sure do know how to drag preorders out... I'm still waiting on a couple things I preordered a whole year ago.

It's gonna be interesting when these figures get broken up and sold individually to see which are the most wanted. For me it's SStreaker which looks great and I will be adding the ER version to my POL to part ways with. :-P I really wish :HASBRO: :TAKARATOMY: would have done right and added that patch of Orange-ish paint like they did before.

And unlike most I'm content with Siege Hound, he's a great modern version in my Neo G1 crew...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Mostly same. We're going to be swapping out the original releases for the ones from this set. Specially SS86 Jazz, went to transform him after a few months of not touching him at all and his roof section has a crack line running the entire legnth. When handling Trailbreaker it always felt like we were going to just snap the entire section off.

Gonna keep Siege Hound tho. He'll fit right into an IDW line-up.

Colour-wise, it's nothing a bit of paint [remover] can't fix here.

That said, we're not "anti-clear plastic", they usually look good. We'd just prefer not to have figures snap and crumble from them just existing on a shelf. It's a decision we make figure to figure.

I waited and searched and scored Eartrise Sunstreaker of of Marktplaats a few months ago for 20 euro's sealed (seller didn't know how terribly rare it had gotten).

And I payed 3 times the price for Trailbreaker which isn't too bad. However they are both in this pack.

Now I am perfectly happy with my Siege Hound so no hyperfocus on getting him earthmode.

I do think he will be sold seperately in the future in some subline or whatever. So guys getting their midlife crisis now is a bit unneccesary I think. Just wait or do get the whole pack.

I messed with my Antagony some more recently, this new Inferno mold is pretty dang neat. I wish one set of bug legs ended up in the robot mode legs though.

She also looks great with Fox Cheetor, giving us Cataclysm as her fellow Herald! Now we really need a new Rampage for a new Shockaract

Well, here they are fresh from FedEx delivery. I am not able to do much other than show the package and how they look inside. Later on I will get them out and take more photos.

EDIT: I lied, i decided to get them out of the box.. Have to say on my copy of all three, the joints are nice and tight.. I haven’t transformed them but their bot modes are solid. Be mindful, the accessories are taped underneath in their nice wrapping paper.

I added a photo for somewhat of a comparison with Crasher, Road Ranger, and Puffer. I didn't do a comparison to their previous mold use. I don't have Warpath, my Cosmos is hanging out in alt mode on my Ark diorama as well as Gears.

To me nice set and they look great amongst my Diaclone/GoBot/other shelf.

Heads up, people! We're getting a SECOND Titan release for Age of the Primes here in the Selects line!

No, it's not a new mold like Star Optimus Prime is, but rather a rerelease of an older Titan in a brand new deco, with all new paint applications and NO STICKERS!!

Behold, Selects Titan class Trypticon!!

Pretty sure the only leak we had for Selects next year was G2 Dinobots, this is a crazy surprise, and since Evan made a point of talking about the new Selects boxes I wonder now if there's more Selects on the docket we're unaware of?

Oh, that's really nice! Makes me want to repurpose the original as BWII Gigastorm. I hope someone makes an upgrade kit with stickers (it'd most likely be for Selects Trypticon, but Gigastrom is technically dark gray not black going by the toy)

Gigastorm's toy used the same dark gray plastic as Trypticon's original toy. Or perhaps slightly darker gray plastic, going by the comparison photos in Ryan's galleries (and that's if the G1 Trypticon seen in these pics isn't slightly color-faded):

The darker gray is closer to the Marvel comics appearance, even if it was only 1 issue. I'll probably pick this up, given proper finances.

I mentioned before in another thread that my TR Trypticon broke and I still haven't found a way to repair him (his arm disconnected from the torso), so this sticker-less, darker version might be right up my alley.

Isn't that what I said? The new one is closer to black than gray while the TR is undeniably gray. The G1 figure and Gigastorm are both definitely a shade of gray, especially when comparing the contrast between Gigastorm's black paint and gray plastic. If a third party made an upgrade kit to convert Trypticon to Gigastorm I'd definitely use it on the TR figure, not the Selects.

Oh, you thought because we're in the middle of the holidays there couldn't possibly be a reveal, much less on a weekend? Well, Evan Brooks of the Transformers design team is here with a surprise reveal that even the leakers didn't know about! In an Instagram Reel shared with us by our own Seibertronian Sabrblade, Evan gave us a first look at Generations Selects Trypticon, a repaint of Titans Return Trypticon in darker cartoon colors. Some of the clear plastic, namely the green parts that were occasionally problematic are now opaque plastic. We also got a first look at the box which is now much more colorful and stylized than the previous plain cardboard boxes, apparently this is the direction we're going in for future Selects figures.

No further details like price or release date were given aside from pre-orders starting in early 2025. If you were looking for a second chance to get this great figure this is probably your best shot. If you plan on picking up this guy for the first time or second then let us know in the Energon Seibertron Pub forums!

Honestly the first I've heard of the translucent plastic having problems. I assumed top priority would be announcing that they found better springs for the hip-ratchets.

And maybe the lighting's throwing me off, but does anyone else think it looks like they started repainting him into Generations Selects Gigastorm, but gave up halfway? And if we're going to get GS repaints of past titans to make up for future titans being downsized, does this imply we'll get a long-awaited Metroplex reissue soon? Or has there ever been a glimmer of hope for a new Plex that's more G1 and less FoC?

This guy had a number of revisions due to issues. Not just the hips, but the back canons had joint issues, too. On mine I can just pop one of them off completely. The issue with the clear plastic is it didn't always shut on his chest properly since it's soft plastic and could hang open with Fulltilt on there.

That super dark grey is gorgeous but the pinky purple is goppin'. I'll still tr to get one as after market prices on Trypticon tend to be insane.
