Was worried there for a second, am I the only one with a turtler with really nice, tight ratchets? he has no problem posing, or holding a pose, now maybe it is the combiner knee joints on the limbs, but they work just fine as arms, so I'm guessing not? the elbows aren't the strongest in the world, but they can hold the sword up just fine; the price you pay for getting first production run figures I guess
None of these figures were first production run and were all preordered months in advance like the majority of figures I review. I’ve been talking to a few people who have completed this and they all have ran into similar issues. Just something to bare in mind when completing him

I actually have the opposite problem. My Turtler's shoulder joints are so tight, I'm worried the ratchet is going to tear itself apart, TR Trypticon style!

Well, if that is the case, then I guess that's the plus side of using a mix-n-match design for the limbs, got my turtler wearing some terrorcon pants and he poses great with them
Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to the work of fellow Seibertron users, Jtprime17, and Hellscream9999, we've been directed to a listing posted on TFW2005 by a user there called UtahRobotinDisguise, of an unknown supplier starting to solicit three new Generations Selects toys, Exhaust, Greasepit and Hubcap. Fans may remember these from a list of rumoured toys (that also featured Rotostorm among others).
Check out the image below then sound off your thoughts in the Energon Pub, letting us know what you think of these. Remember to stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Are you not Stateside? Hasbro Selects are retail procw plus shipping, its the Takara stuff that Hasbro carries under Arlects that het the markup

Blackeyedprime is like me and resides in the UK. Hasbro Pulse is not an option for us

Maybe try entertainment earth? I am not sure if they ship to the UK, but it would not hurt to check!
A micromaster base, if I had to guess, it will be a redeco of Iron works (which I am all for!)
This is correct, possibly on both counts as it's been speculated that Air Wave will be redecoed/slight retooled into Hot House because of the presence of treads, leaving Ironworks with no redeco... Till now of course.
As for entertainment Earth, I did look into them a while back though can't remember how much it would have been for air mail.
I saw Prime v Prime's King Poseidon review a few days ago. I have no QC issues with the first 4 Seacons, but the issues with the last 2, I am hoping mine don't have those...whenever TF source gets them in and shipped. I dont like how Tentakil's combined form is upside down as a leg...looks goofy, I may turn it around if possible. If the legs fit too loosely, you can stuff a tiny amount of tissue paper in them to add friction and create more stability (some people use putty, but I want something that comes off easily).
Also, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion, since most CW/UW/PotP Combiners can barely hold a legends figure as a weapon, that having a deluxe class one was not going to hold up at all, but once more fans start getting them all, I'm sure there will be some creative solutions.

I wonder if the rumored Earthrise Bumblebee is actually Hubcap.
Kind of like in Titans Return where instead of Cliffjumper, we got Roadburn/Chase from the Bumblebee mold.
Actually we're getting both (and a Selects Bug Bite). Hub Cap will be from the Cliffjumper mold and Bug Bite from Bee (who will be his own mold from what hasbro have said, possibly parts sharing with Cliffjumper)
