Transformers Generations Selects Antagony Designer Notes

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Aug 30, 2023 at 8:11pm CDT 58,090 views
Thanks to Mark Maher on his Instagram, we have a nice little breakdown of the design process that went into the Selects release of Antagony. We get some details regarding building in some Transmetal retooling options into molds such as Inferno and Tarantulas, though that has not come to pass to date. We also get some info on her head design and the choices behind the alternate heads.

Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

Generations Selects Voyager Antagony is gracing you with her presence! 8-) :PREDACON:
.
I had first planned the alt head to be Scavenger way back when Shu san and I were working on Inferno. My thought here was trying to get some representation of the Transmetals line, possibly hoping for a full fledge partial in order to do some of the characters. Ultimately it didn’t pan out, but you can see hints to this idea I had in several Kingdom characters, much like the buzzsaw weapon that came with Tarantulas.
.
To note, if you utilize the Scavenger head on the Inferno mold you will notice the purple colors match to the shoulder paint. But, if you would like to use the Scavenger head for Antagony, the gunmetal color matches the waist and shoulder paint. I’m trying my best to give people options when I can as I don’t want the alt heads in some of these molds to be tossed into the abyss.
.
Lets talk about how lovely this sculpted detail looks as this carpenter ant alt mode rips a fozzilizer to shreds! The metallic raspberry just pops along with the soothing predacon purp! You will also notice on an early engineering pilot test shot, I actually was thinking about homaging her original comic apperance but once I saw how good the purple looked on the movable mandibles, it won me over.
.
All worky and no playtime makes Marky mad so I’ll do my best to post more, but please do tell me who you would like to see next!

I have this one on pre-order. Black works a lot better for this mold than red, I think....

I ordered a 3D printed head for Antagony so that it doesn't look just like Inferno. Also I bought a second Inferno and painted it differently to go with the Scavenger head.

Ooh which one? I wanted to do the same and also get a custom 3D printed head as I’m not quite sold on the recolored Inferno head for Antagony.

While Canadian Toysrus stores have been lagging behind on Studio Series and Legacy offerings, they do ok with more collectible items. Such is the case with Transformers Generations Selects Antagony which was found on Toysrus shelves in Quebec and Ontario. The toy was also released at Canadian Gamestop stores. While it probably won't be found in brick and mortar retail in the US (aside from maybe Gamestop), the toy is readily available from online stores like BBTS. While this toy is a redeco of an existing toy with an extra head, we do have a video review below just in case you wanted to see more of the toy.

If you have found her, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

I just got her this past weekend. I actually like her better than Inferno. The Scavenger head is cool, but I like her standard head- it looks more like her original toy.

I got her about 2 weeks ago. She is really nice. I put the Scavenger head to differentiate her from Inferno, especially since she really doesn't have the right head.

She has gone nicely into the new Unicron shelf

Hasbro has lots of toys being simultaneously designed and release plans are never set in stone unless revealed officially. This is why even though we got leaked renders for a Earth mode Hound figure a while back, it's release could not be certain until Hasbro officially revealed it (or it was found in stores). While we still don't have an official reveal, we do have a new listing featuring Hound. It comes to us from JTPrime17 and you can see it below with its product code.

The listing is for an autobot Multipack made to coincide with the 40th anniversary of G1 featuring Hound, Jazz, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker.

TRA GEN SELECTS AUTOBOT MULTIPACK; DlX Hound, Jazz, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker
Product code: G0206

Even now, three years after Kingdom, Hasbro just couldn't resist giving us yet another release of that Earthrise Wheeljack mold, as if we haven't already had plenty of releases that shelfwarmed to here and back. >:oP

Worth noting that's the same product code as the Autobot multipack listing we got back in August, so that's seemingly the same set as this and there's still a 3-pack who's contents are a mystery.

Comment by Talon523 Jan 6, 2024
Well I definitely won't be getting this Hound then. I have all the other ones. I hate these multi-packs. I'll stick with the siege mold.

Unless the Hound included in that pack is a genuine new mold, that set will be an easy pass for me.

Still, for all of those who have missed out on at least 2 or 3 of the other included toys, this set will certainly be worth it.

Comment by Razorbeast88 Jan 6, 2024
The only one I'd really want from the set is sunstreaker
I'm fine with siege Hound
Don't really care about trailbreaker I have Hoist and like him better
And I don't really like that wheeljack. I was tempted with bee movie wheeljack but im holding out hope a Prime version of the character is released in a few years

JTPrime says Hound should be the same Earth mode figure from the cancelled Target two-pack as in the render posted. Pretty sure that's expected to be retooling of Siege rather than completely new.

I'm thrilled to be getting a proper Hound even if I'm not thrilled about the release, since I have the others. I know a lot of people missed out on Sunstreaker in particular, and he had opportunities for improvement, so maybe that will be justified. There could be other minor variations, like opaque windows (for a cartoon look, like with SS86 and BB re-releases) or toy decals (like the last five-pack giftset of the Stunticons.) I've doubled up on a lot of G1 figures recently, so maybe I'll find someone who wants an incomplete set of G1 updates.

Dammit, I was actually looking forward to this one. I don't need all five of those figures.

Sigh, I really don't want to pay $120+ just to get a CHUG version of G1 Hound.

If the price is right and there's some effort put into it, this might be the best-selling Generations Selects release to date. If Hasbro follows the trend of removing the clear plastic then Jazz will be a huge improvement. The other three need to include proper weapons and their extra accessories from the bonus pack properly painted to be worthwhile.

You could sell off the others. Or maybe find someone here to split the set and share the cost.

I'm happy to take Trailbreaker off someone's hands ... as long as you don't try to stooge me, the conversion rate will be painful enough. :lol:
