New Video Review of Transformers Generations Selects Greasepit

What I don't understand is why Greasepit and Exhaust are not available on Pulse. Neither is mentioned as any kind of exclusive. Usually new Selects are available to pre-order from Pulse but usually show up at retailers first. However neither one is listed and I reached out to them on Facebook and chat to find out the status. Neither option was very helpful. If I don't see them soon I will end up buying them secondhand at a markup. If this is an indication of future releases then I could end up missing out on figures and paying almost $15 each like they have been going on Ebay.

The rep from Pulse said they don't carry every Transformers product and don't have all the information on what they do but the Selects line is MEANT to be a major part of pulse for Hasbro.

I initially had little interest in the new Seacons. I'm not a fan of the combiner gimmick in general, and I wasn't sure the $35 price-tag for Deluxes on HasbroPulse was justified. That said, when people started getting 'em in-hand and posting pictures online, I had regrets about passing on a couple of the figures. Then, for a brief second in May, Pulse re-posted Overbite And Tentakil as in-stock, so I pulled the trigger. (Good thing, too, since God Neptune would have been an even bigger investment).

What a stroke of luck...

Tentakil totally redeems the horrid POTPie fem-bot engineering model, and all his new parts make me fully appreciate the mark-up on the Takara Selects. As much as I dig him, I have to say Overbite is the most fun Transformers figure I've gotten this year. Considering how much I've enjoyed the WFC stuff (and having acquired a couple of "Titans" grails), that's saying a lot. The head-sculpt is perfect, the weapons are fun and store nicely on his land-shark mode, and my gawd, the COLOURS!!! Both of these guys hit my nostalgia button in such a weirdly precise spot.

...Not because I had any kind of childhood attachment to the Seacons, but because they're dressed like "Saved by the Bell" characters

Because the two haven't been officially revealed yet?

We are not even meant to know about their existence, same with the other "rumored" figures like Hubcap, The Coneheads, etc

Deadput is correct, these figures were leaked via the eBay auctions last week, with some rumours have them being officially revealed during SDCC Online.

Megalopolis.toys currently lists both of them as in-stock for $21.99 each. I was going to wait until Pulse had them so I could avoid the shipping fees, but in light of the Hasbro rep playing dumb, I've decided to eat the shipping and avoid the wait.

I suppose $21.99 is only a couple of dollars higher then what they will be on Pulse. Though I don't understand the mad rush to buy them now? They'll likely be plenty of them once Hasbro reveal them properly and sell them via the normality channels.

That is my point exactly. If they were an eBay leak which I see goes for $36 then why does toy dojo and the chosen Prime both have them in stock for $25? That seems to be their normal markup on selects releas. You can see for $21.95 which is $2 about the normal price on pulse but you do have to pay shipping. When you factor in all of these parts it seems very strange that they're not listed on pulse yet.

If they're being tied into a convention (which since last year, I believe most conventions hasbro attends has had at least a selects exclusive - many times completely bypassing the pre-order phase) then they won't be up for sale until around the time of said convention; if another retailer has gotten their stock of them for that occasion and chosen to sell them early, then that's on them; but the other poster's above are correct, we are not meant to know about these yet, and I'd bet the retailers selling them now probably aren't meant to be doing so.

They're not listed because Hasbro didn't want to reveal them yet. As I say, rumours had it that they were going to be part of the SDCC reveals. If anything, Hasbro may do a suprise Fan First Friday tomorrow and announce them early because of the leak.

It's a holiday weekend here in the States, so I don't think that's likely.

Considering the fact that these figures are this widespread, I'd say they'll announce them just so they can have them be officially released. I mean, I could see it being a Tweet, rather than a whole "Fan First Friday", but still, at this point they can't play dumb

I understand the logic in some of the comments. But on the outside looking in, it does seem odd. If "all things were normal" meaning conventions would be going on, it makes little sense to announce 2 Selects figures on Pulse last week, that go immediately up for pre-order and scheduled to arrive in 3 months, then in a couple of weeks reveal two more selects figures that are available "now" (for convention attendees or on select websites).

I mean after seeing Greasepit & Exhaust on eBay I kept second guessing myself thinking I missed a pre-order somewhere....

Time for some armchair Transformers predictions!

First, I'm happy to see Tigertrack revealed for a Selects release. The Sideswipe mold from Siege is solid. The robot mode is arguably perfect. The alt mode looks close enough to a real Earth-based vehicle, the classic Lamborghini Countach. With Tigertrack revealed, I think it's a safe bet that we will not be getting an "Earthrise" version of Sideswipe. The Siege version is it. Hasbro and Takara are likely going to give us all of the classic G1 repaints based on only this mold. By my count, we only have Deep Cover and Clampdown to go, since we already have Red Alert, G2 Sideswipe, and now Tigertrack. I know some people were hoping for a more spot-on rendition of Sideswipe's Countach mode, at least as close as Earthrise Sunstreaker will get, but I don't think it's likely at this point. I also tested just how well Siege Sideswipe passes for a real Lamborghini Countach in vehicle mode by showing some friends who aren't Transformers fans or gearheads, and each one within a second was able to tell me "Lamborghini" when asked "what kind of car is this?" I bet Hasbro and Takara are satisfied that Siege Sideswipe passes this "casual test" too.

Yeah. The main things that set SIEGE Sideswipe's car mode apart from a Countach? Are the funky tail lights and having different - but decidedly still Earthly - wheels and tires. Wheels that look an awful lot like the wheel on MP Sideswipe's Collector Coin.

Am I the only one hoping HasTak will release the other G2 Sideswipe clone on this mold? The blue car with chartreuse robot parts?

That would be cool. I kinda hope they do that unreleased G2 Sideswipe deco too, the yellow car that fades to teal near the back with orange sunset graphics.

I broke down and bought them both. I was fighting the urge ever since you posted this. I finally broke when I saw I could pay with Klarna which is one of those split-the-payment plans so I can pay it off over 4 paychecks. I've previously used Sezzle and Afterpay at other merchants. This also keeps me from buying Masterpiece Exhaust, he's been in my eBay shopping cart for a bit but after breaking and ordering another SG Optimus I do not want any more Masterpiece figures. Too expensive to replace.

ZeroWolf wrote:I love how Overbite seems to be acting in the first photo He needs to do a duet with SkyByte!

That was exactly my intention! He was singing to all the nice ladies in the crowd!

Seacon set is still being messed with. Doing more combos with the limbs and gun, but still haven't settled on one.

I think Seawing makes the best gun, he feels the lightest and makes a nice shield as well as a gun.

Lobclaw might be my favorite of the set currently. I love that lobster dude!

Got Tentakil to function better as a leg, think i was missing something when I formed leg mode originally.

I feel like Gulf and Overbite work wonderfully as either an arm or a leg, Tentakil best as a leg, and Lobclaw as an arm, though he also makes a fun gun.

Also, I really wish the limb dudes had some ratchets or sterner leg joints, makes the sword and extra gun dude a little hard to enjoy, especially since he might be the combiner (other than Victorion) that leans forward the most. I wish i could add weight to the back.

On that note, was it here that i saw someone make Seawing a jetpack/wingback for King P? If it was, please share again!!

What are the odds of Pulse restocking Tigertrack and Rotorstorm?

FellintoOblivion wrote:What are the odds of Pulse restocking Tigertrack and Rotorstorm?

Probably pretty decent, but if you want them, I would recommend just ordering them from BBTS or a similar site so you don't have to worry. There's a $2 premium for each and $4 shipping, so that'll add 20% to the cost.

FellintoOblivion wrote:What are the odds of Pulse restocking Tigertrack and Rotorstorm?

Every Selects figure on Pulse that was offered during Siege has come back in stock since then, they're all still available, so if you're willing to wait I'm inclined to believe it'll pay off. If you'd rather get them preordered and not have to worry about it though, DrX's suggestion of BBTS is probably your best bet.

I wonder if Selects will start using non-bland boxes

Unlikely, the point is to save on resources when making them.

Yeah, and the fact that Selects uses brown cardboard boxes for its packaging leads me to speculate that, when Unicron comes out, he'll fall under the Selects label too since his box will also be brown cardboard.

Not to mention next year the goal is to have boxes without plastic in the packaging, so this style of packaging might be more common very soon

Just a quick update, InDemand Toys has Exhaust and Greasepit up for pre-order:



Exhaust - £22.99



Greasepit - £22.99


Both listed for release on July 10th (an imminent release, so no option for 10% deposit). No sign of either anywhere else, at time of writing.

I hear people saying the mercenary symbol looks like a Quintesson face, but all I see is the Autobot symbol with a fake beard and sunglasses.

That, I doubt. If they're ditching the acetate windows, the box graphics will be exponentially more important for catching customers' eyes. So no way are they going to put retail toys in plain brown boxes with only a faction symbol and text.

They'll probably look like the cyberbattalion figures, which are also in the generations line. That`s what I am going with.

That and non-collector lines will probably be more in the style of Cyberverse Ultra and one step figures, but without the plastic tray.

We've seen plenty of in-hand pics and reviews but I got to say, these two are pretty cool. This is the first time I've owned figures before their release, which is kinda cool. Much like the logo on Exhaust's chest, kinda cool. Bad guys wear goatees I guess. They did well on the head though, definitely looks like the Masterpiece so no confusing him and Wheeljack. Greasepit's colors are awesome and once I finish clearing a small shelf I plan on setting him and Ironworks up with a Soundbarrier in between and some Micromasters. Needless to say, Megalopolis.TV came through

While I do understand saving up on Selects boxes by having them being plain cardbox, I don’t understand why they can’t at least add the names to the print, not even stylized just add SOMETHING to them!

Print design reuse. That also helps logistically; when a new deco is designed the box part can be skipped.

I'm guessing these will be widely available this weekend for the original SDCC date

When did you order from Megalopolis, and how long did it take to get them?

I bought mine (listed as "in-stock," NOT pre-orders) on July 2nd, and I haven't gotten so much as a shipping notice.

Interesting, I ordered mine on July 3rd, with the listing saying in-stock as well, and I received notification of shipment on July 9th with delivery July 11th. They are in Utah and I'm Arizona so that explains the quick shipment. This is my first time using them so I may have been very lucky.

Using some help from Mad Project, I got Seawing into backpack formation, and I like it! Helps balance out the combiner lean, and clears up the arms for proper weapons use. I think this will be my configuration for king P.

Selects shockwave galaxy man $30 at megalopolis toys, I've neever ordered from them, nor likely to because overseas customs* but seems a bargain for those over the pond. Cheaper than the retail release so barggggain.

How does Seawing attach?

Take off the big back cannons, and use Tentakil and Gulf's guns to attach him

Just saw this and if it is true then holy crap I am getting Tracks and Road Rage! Plus whatever the heck a Power Master Megatron could be. Probably Red Alert too.

I'm VERY skeptical of this... Runabout has an Earthrise listing, and the leaker that initially leaked Beast Wars in Kingdom (and the name Kingdom, and Slag and Daniel for Studio Series 86) has already said that his source said that neither the Commander (and Titan) Class figure for Kingdom will be Beast Wars related. I still expect Hauler though given his inclusion in the Hall of Fame vote.

I'd definitely get two of Road Rage if that happens though! One for Road Rage purposes, one to customize into a G1 styled Prime Knockout based on this image:

Probably just PotP Optimal Optimus with Megatron's face like from Beast Machines if it's real. It would fit in with Kingdom anyway.

Sentinel_Primal wrote:I'm VERY skeptical of this... Runabout has an Earthrise listing

How many Siege figures have Earthrise listings?

I'm skeptical as well, I'd like to see the actual source (store computers, previously correct anonymous source) instead of a list of things written over a picture of Hauler. As far as I can remember Hasbro has never used "WFCT", that's a fan thing. Hasbro uses WFC-S and WFC-E, and certainly WFC-K.

Emerje

Yeah, probably fake but I hope it's got a hint of truth just cause of all the good characters listed.

Totally, utterly, bogus.

The Commander and Titan for Kingdom are said to be non-Beast Wars guys, Runabout already has an Earthrise number, Red Alert already has TWO Deluxe toys in Siege and Netflix, and "Tidal Wave" would be parsed as two words by Hasbro, not one.

And that's definitely the 1985 G1 mold version of Hauler there rather than the Earthrise mold.

April Fools Day was three months ago.

Maaaan, why you gotta rain on my parade like that lol

aronjlove wrote:Yeah, probably fake but I hope it's got a hint of truth just cause of all the good characters listed.

I would say the hint of truth is that we know Runabout is happening. Blackarachnia has a 99.99% chance of happening since she's one of the biggest things on the Kingdom poster. Tracks will probably happen along with Needlenose since they're the last two from that Siege poll to not happen (we've gotten Mirage, Impactor, Spinister, and Wheeljack already). Roadrage and Hauler seem likely as does AOE Optimus (eventually).

On the flip side, Magnaboss seems unlikely based on other leaks. Tidal Wave could happen, but why now? Feels like fan bating. Red Alert would require a new Sideswipe and we don't need one of those. Who knows what Power Master Megatron is, I was just guessing, but it sounds made up. And wouldn't TFBB Skywarp require a TFBB Starscream first?

Of all of those, the points about Runabout and the leak info about the Titan and Commander are the big clinchers.

After all, Red Alert could also refer to:

And "Tidalwave" could be a typo or trademark shenanigans, and at least one of the ER Coneheads appears as his G1 toy on Sky Lynx's box.

But all taken together and with those clinchers? Yeah, bogus. Good thing, too - a Deluxe Blackarachnia would turn out really crappy.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:After all, Red Alert could also refer to:

In Selects? Who would the original be, Ratchet?

And I'll be surprised if Kingdom Blackarachnia is anything other than Deluxe.
