And the (unofficial) reveals keep coming! Thanks to Nemesis Primal and scotty_P here at Seibertron, we have pictures of the upcoming Generations Selects Greasepit! Numbered as WFC GS-12, Greasepit is a recolor and repaint of Siege Ironworks. Greasepit takes his name from the original Micromaster Greasepit from G1, though this toy is a combination of the character and the Micromaster base he came with.
Ready to add another Decepticon to your collection? Like Exhaust in the previous news story, we don't know exactly when these figures will be officially revealed or released, but with these packaged samples from an Ebay auction showing up, we're likely to know soon.

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm sitting but you know what I mean.

Eh. Maybe not.
The yellow missile at the front looks like the red one with Sideswipe but the pistol handle looks different.
Really? It just looks like a repaint of Ironworks' gun to me.

Easy pass, didn't like the figure as wheeljack in its first use and a decepticon with a generic merc symbol on him is pretty bad, if he's a merc with out a company he would still likely have his own symbol or be symbol less.

While I didn't pick up Wheeljack, I'll definitely pick up Exhaust. His colors work really well, plus,that badge looks really good. Greasepit's also a buy because I love the little baseformers

It's the mercenary symbol, first time we've seen it used in the toys.

While Greasepit looks to be a straight-up repaint of Ironworks, I'm happy to see that Greasepit will still have it's dual Gas Pumps (right hand) and Gas Station Sign (left shoulder).

Yeah, intellectually, I knew that he would be a straight up repaint of Ironworks, but I just thought, maybe through use of accessories they'd put a little more effort into making it look like an actual Gas Station, rather than just the Construction Station with gas pumps instead of a hook. Oh well... It's not terrible, Besides I was going to pretty much get it no matter what.
So....If they do Hothouse next, who thinks it would be an additional repaint of Ironworks, or instead a repaint of Airwave?

Airwave repaint, 100%, because Selects so far has only done 1 figure per mold (although if that Centurion droid Brunt repaint is real, that rule no longer matters), and Airwave conspicuously features tank treads on his legs that are unnecessary for a design based off the Airport base, but would be necessary for the Fire Station, which seems to hint that Hot House was kept in mind when that mold was designed.

Why is a lack of purple disappointing? He never had any purple. Do you mean blue, since the MP and the Diaclone toy both had blue glazing?
Myself, I'm more interested in Exhaust than I was in the Wheeljack use of the mold.

I find it funny that the first figure to use the merc logo isn't one of the names thrown out there or revealed by the card game already
Just remains to be seen who the other mercs going to be. Can't have a faction of just one.

Technically that would be the faction-switching Doubledealer as well as the Quintessons and their minions.

Real world mercs would wear their mercs companies symbols, fictational mercs would wear their companies symbols. Its the equivalent of a la street gang wearing a generic Tshirt that says gang rather than their gangs colors. Poor exhaust here is displaying generic badge but I guess it could be the same as holding up a for rent sign, maybe the next generic merc symbol wearing car can be called Rental.

So, at this point we have Hubcap, Exhaust, Greasepit, Dead Prime, Cyclonus, and Thrust, with possible hints at a new Soundwave, a rumored GI Joe crossover, hint at a Back to the Future crossover figure, and that Top Gun Maverick figure. Assuming Cyclonus might be part of that leaked 1986 Studio Series line due to the detail/lack of detail, and that we see more from that RED series, then we might get them all "revealed" for Fan First Friday, cause that'd be 6 lines with Studio Series, Earthrise, Crossovers, RED, and Prime Day, as well as officially revealing all of the leaks and rumors

The MP seems to have purple to me. Maybe it looks different in real life?
Without it the toy looks really plain. Although I have to admit, I want it more for the history behind it more than the toy itself.
As for the symbol, there've been a couple of toys with one-off faction symbols. Although an actual non-Dcepticon mercenary faction would be pretty cool if they were consistent with it.

No, the Quintesson face faction symbol you're talking about is Quint-specific, it's only been used on Slitherfang and the Quint Judge's packaging, so far (unless it's on the figures somewhere and we haven't seen). The Merc symbol has only been used in the toyline on Exhaust here, but is the same symbol used for the Mercs in the card game. Warden said during the TF presentation back at Toy Fair that Doubledealer and Snapdragon are also Mercs, but they don't seem to have the badge on them anywhere from what we've seen so far.
Also the Bug Bite listing called him a Mercenary, so he might have the symbol as well.

Okay, so Greasepit and Exhaust are WFC-GS11 and GS12, and Tigertracks and Rotorstorm are GS18 and GS19.
I couldn't find a number for Centurion, but I'm guessing he is somewhere in the middle, giving us 4 others to fill in the numbers in between.

Considering Ceturion is a Pulse exclusive and not a regular Selects release, he may not have a number, and if you leave him out, our list fits all the leaks and goes as follows (with ? indicating that the numbers may not be exact):
WFC-S11: Exhaust
WFC-S12: Greasepit
WFC-S13: Hubcap(?)
WFC-S14: Hot House(?)
WFC-S15: Roritchi(?)
WFC-S16: G2 Megatron(?)
WFC-S17: Bug Bite(?)
WFC-S18: Tigertrack
WFC-S19: Rotorstorm
Although I think there was also a rumor of a Selects Ratchet but no listing yet, so no idea how to factor that in.

Kinda lame that Rotorstorm doesn’t get a new head, but oh well, doesn’t bother me too much. I love how Hasbro beat 3P to the punch with the weapons pack, kinda genius to include them with a guy made of weapons Considered me sold on both Rotorstorm and Centurion, already on preorder for me (as well as GI Joe’s Regal Cobra Commander and Gung-Ho) 
Tigertrack is nice but I don’t need him.

I'm really disappointed Rotorstorm does not have a new head. He really needs his IDW head, it's such a letdown that it's not remotely right for his head.

I'm holding out hope right now that with how many times the head was mentioned both in the presentation and the product listing for the figure, there is a new head that just isn't ready yet, because the figure doesn't release until...November. It wouldn't be the first time Hasbro stock photos were wrong...
Also turns out the Centurion Droid just isn't a Selects figure at all, so he definitely does not have a number. We all assumed he was because he comes in a Selects-like box, but Hasbro hasn't referred to him as a Selects figure anywhere. If anything, he matches the line branding of the Netflix repaints, in that they're just "WFC Trilogy" figures.

At the very least, I can imagine a third party releasing a head add on for Rotorstorm, which doesn't make up for the figure not having a proper Rotorstorm head in the first place but it would be something.
Hopefully painted as well since I don't have the talent to paint anything like that.

I have to imagine the lack of new head has to be a mistake, given how the product description calls out a new head, and it doesn't seem very copy-pasted. I'm hoping this is a particularly extreme example of promo pics not reflecting the final product (which isn't unprecedented, there have been promo pics with this much of a difference in terms of the plastic/sculpting and not just paint, just not in a while iirc)

Me, that weapons pack is cool.
Also me, Megatron is missing the stock, what guns do bumblebee, and Ironhide actually come with, that radar dish should've been included with trailbreaker

I'm hoping we'll see some 3P options pop up to replace Rotorstorm's head.

Hasbro does not have a good track record keeping the heads straight in artwork.

I thought they were actual product shots? Granted, that's not to say it's impossible that we'll get the right head because wasn't Hun-Grr's head not finished or something when they showed off prototypes for Power of the Primes?

Hun-Gurrr's head was edited out on his packaging, likely because the wrong, possible alternate, head was shown.
I'm trying to remember when was the last time that stock photos showed one head, while the final toy had another, but I'm coming up blank.

If pack-in instructions count, I can think of a couple examples; Generations Warpath and Reveal the Shield Lugnut.
Also, if people want the weapon pack but not the Centurion drone, I’m considering wanting to army build them....

Yes, but if it's a case like we've occasionally had in the past of the physical sample having the wrong head (whether at SDCC or even on the packaging shots), there's a chance the final head will be different, especially because the description of the figure specifically pointed out a new head.
