It just says "WAR". And about WFC-SG01: "Select Generations"?

Ah, the letters do not line up sequentially. Thanks. I need to find that translation chart again.

Transformers Generations Selects WFC-GS01

Uh... No. If some folk out there like this 'arctic camo' Siege Megatron, feel free. Me, I'll keep my proper G1 version, thanks.

So did anyone notice that Redwing might be in Megatron's line art? look in the back ground there is a silhouette and it is the combiner wars seeker limb mold with a new head and thrust like wings.

The listing reads "Voyager Class Decepticon Red Wing", which means he may be made from Siege Starscream. The figure in the background is actually CW Skydive:

I for one am excited that even though I want this, I won't be able to afford it! Fuck yeah for exclusives! WOOHOO!

The colors don’t work so well on this guy. I’m still holding out hop for an Armada retool.

I don’t know the line art’s head looks completely different than skydives to me. I could be wrong.
I would prefer a repaint of the siege mold though.

It's a direct reuse of the insert of the CW boxes:

Upper left corner.

Well your right thank you for that. I was just looking for the voyager line art inserts

This raises a good question. How are the Selects figures being distributed if at all in other regions?

A Redwing before any of the Rainmakers?

I still want Voyager earth modes for all six main seekers so I hope this mold doesn’t get dragged outt too long.

Very poorly, if at all, just like normal

It's been a little while since we've heard anything new about the Transformers Selects Series, but Hasbro has not disappointed with their presence at ToyFair in New York this weekend! Hasbro had on display their repaint of Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy SIEGE Voyager Class Megatron, based on an unreleased Combat Hero Megatron repaint from Transformers: Generation 2, featuring an "arctic camouflage" paint scheme. Our intrepid Seibetron himself and other esteemed members of Seibertron.com were on hand to bring us some pictures of this upcoming imminent exclusive. We've got a good idea of how the robot mode and tank mode will look in person, and we know this special edition of Megatron will come with the same accessories as the SIEGE version. Click on any of the pictures below to be taken to the full Seiberton.com gallery for this figure!

Uhhhhh... How can we POSSIBLY be getting two Voyagers for that price?!

If we are, great. But I am HIGHLY skeptical they intended for that to be the case.

No no, the point is they were supposed to write Megatron instead, so that means there is a voyager redwing out there somewhere somehow

I see Miner Megatron headsculpt there

That was fast

I like the new headsculpt. It would go perfect with Siege Megatron and those Reprolabels that turn him into his miner body

The tiger stripe camo makes it look like Megatron is wearing a tube top.

It's a really cool deco, and hasbro pulse has him in stock already it seems; too bad it's wasted on such a terrible figure, I hope for everyone that likes him that he at least has a tight neck platform, I just can't stand how many strange design choices were made for him

carytheone wrote:The tiger stripe camo makes it look like Megatron is wearing a tube top.

I envision it more of a t-shirt cut off to show the abs that say Megatron across the top. Like, dude, how much you bench?

Once again, I'm in the extreme minority, as I think that Megatron is f**king ugly.

So far, the only Selects figure I want is Swoop. I was hoping for a Combiner Sideswipe as well, but the Siege figure pretty much killed that.

It's no real different to the original/previous entries, though.


It's ironic, for me, because the clashing, gaudy G2 repaint features better paint than the G1, Seige version. Basically, even clashing tiger stripes trump poorly-applied "battle damage", IMO.

That was fast! No sooner has Transformers Generations Selects Combat Hero Megatron shown off his dazzling self at the NY Toy Fair, (and thanks to Seibertron.com member TfanPage101 for bringing this news to our attention) - he then appears up for review on Youtube by reviewer Kevin Liu. The review itself is in Chinese, but features a healthy display of the box and comparison shots between the two decos of the figure. We have embedded the video below, but the original Youtube page can be found here.



Are you convinced to drop some cash on this release yet or does the G2 Nostalgia not hold enough weight to draw you in? Let us know your thoughts on this figure right here on Seibertron.com's Energon Pub.

I was not around for g2 so this is an easy pass.

primalxconvoy wrote:It's no real different to the original/previous entries, though.

Those are ugly, too.

Easy pass. This is an ugly deco. The bright green and purple of other G2 Meg figures is garish but fun. This one's just.. blech.

it has a new head sculpt i may have to get it

i hope they ditch the angry miner origin.

anyway... i hope that when this gets re-moulded as Armada Megatron it is a heavy retool. I like the body swivel tank turret from the origin it keeps him unique and not your standard arm cannon Megatron.

Coptur wrote:i hope they ditch the angry miner origin.

Its just one origin among others. I like the one where he is a gladiator and inspires revolution ala sparticus.

So we got the purple version of G2 Megatron from Takara Tomy in Legends, and now we're getting the tiger stripe version from Selects, but when are they finally going to give us the version we actually want?

true very true thank the matrix.

Megatron is villain so i wouldn't want to use the word revolution (that and he wasn't 100% successful in overthrowing the Autobots). Coup/insurgency/uprising are better suited for bad guys.

My apologies in advance if these seems redundant, however, in trying to process and go over everything that transpired at ToyFair over the weekend I was wondering if Hasbro mentioned any specifics in their panel as to the future of the Selects series? Will there be more entries? Also I'm a little disappointed they didn't retroactively go back and add the upcoming Riccochet and Red Swoop to the new Pulse site. i was actually thinking they would have made great *site launch* purchases, and a nice surprise as well, since they are supposed to be released in February, and the month is already more than half over.

IN any event, i hope they keep going with selects. Exclusives at fairly affordable prices is a good thing.

In 2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2016.








In all seriousness, that green G2 tank deco has seen more post-G2 releases (5) than either the purple Hero tank deco (4) or the gray w/ stripes Combat Hero tank deco (2).

The only entry they discussed was Megatron. Nothing else was discussed regarding the line from all I can tell following the event. I too think this is a super cool line and I look forward to seeing more from it.

And it's likely because of that figure that this new one has a new head based on that Legends mold's noggin instead of that of the original G2 Hero mold.

Thanks! And wow that mold has seen lots of different decos.

william-james88 wrote:Thanks! And wow that mold has seen lots of different decos.

Yep. Both the Universe Legends (now Legion) and Generations Legends Megatron molds have really gotten around.

It's a spiffy little design, possibly my favorite legends class figure

Wasn't that the same origin? He was a miner and became a gladiator? Or am I mixing up IDW with something else?

Coptur wrote:Megatron is villain so i wouldn't want to use the word revolution.

Why not? Just because a person/group/faction starts a revolution doesn't automatically make them the good guys.
