First Look at Possible Generations Selects IDW Centurion (Brunt Redeco)

Needs some more silver on it. Might be nice to get a tetra jet repaint as a viper too. With the x overs going crazy and rapidly expanding it might happen too.

What I find interesting about this potential leak is that you don't see the part of Brunt that was recently just revealed to be given to Selects Hubcap.

This was the repaint I was expecting of Brunt from the toys reveal, though I see social media is on the fence with this being real or a custom.

With our luck, it will be official and the only "new" reveal for the fans friday coming up

Quite possibly unless they're going to do a double whammy and reveal this and Hubcap

For those who care here’s a bill of lading for Selects Exhaust in the U.S.

E86225L00 24 PCS TRA GEN SELECTS DELUXE EXHAUST

Interesting, this Centurion looks pretty good, though it could use a bit more paint. If it's real, we'll probably see more of it on Fan Friday.

Interesting that we could be getting a Centurion drone. Not sure if i would get him since I have 2 of the mold, but it's a cool idea

I might get him if I had the money...
Related note: I'd love to see a papercraft kit of the centurion drones.

Could have just been left at the factory or Hubcap wasn't supposed to have them or they both have them. We already have a precedence for a regular Deluxe figure coming with a Weaponizer's weapon (or maybe the other way around?) in Sixgun and Sideswipe sharing missiles.

I'd like to think that if it were a custom they wouldn't have forgotten the two red spots on his crotch, but that's definitely something Hasbro would forget.

They did, however, apparently forget the red around the Centurion's visor, which Brunt does have.

Actually, I think the head is facing backward in the photo.

Edit: never mind, it should go all the way around, so it is missing.

Unless it was just applied to the front of the head, which seems like the kind of thing Hasbro would do.

Forgot that part. Then that's two (technically three) very obvious paint apps that no customizer worth their salt would forget.

I'll take 20.

I'm tellin' ya, someone in the hasbro design team had a life changing experience with the stormbringer graphic novel, they keep making figures based on it

You say it like it's a bad thing Though besides TR Astrotrain... Who else has a design based on that story?

I think just classics jetfire and brunt, I just think its funny that stormbringer keeps getting these design shout-outs that very few other bits of tf fiction get to share in in this g1 world

Also, kind of Siege Megatron? He's got the Stormbringer treads on his back, though they're upside down.

Megatron's Stormbringer design was used for Titanium The Fallen.

Someone on eBay has gotten access to and is currently selling what look to be finished versions of Selects Greasepit and Exhaust. Not going to link the eBay listings, since the guy must have stolen them and is selling them at a $10 markup, and linking that just feels...eh, but we got pictures now!



Interesting that Exhaust is labeled as a Decepticon but has the Mercenary faction badge, is he the first actual figure to have that insignia? Curious to see what his alt mode tampos look like.



So happy that Greasepit looks to still actually get new parts, I was concerned he wouldn't since he was a Selects release. That bodes well for Hot House as well. I see the hook hand has been replaced with gas pumps and a sign pegged into the shoulder. Surprised he doesn't have a new head though.

Greaspit looks like he has Sideswipe/Red Alert's gun.

Eh. Maybe not.

The yellow missile at the front looks like the red one with Sideswipe but the pistol handle looks different.

Thanks to Seibertronian LinaNui, we have confirmation of a figure we first reported on back in April. Via an eBay auction, we can see Generations Selects Exhaust packaged in his robot mode, along with his instructions and box, confirming that he will be released as WFC GS-11 in the Selects line. He is a retool of Siege Wheeljack (as expected), and comes with the same missile launcher weapon.










The original figure that would be known as "Marlboor Wheeljack" was a Diaclone figure that was later redecoed and retooled into Wheeljack for the original G1 toyline. It was known as "Marlboor Wheeljack" for decades until the retool of Masterpiece Wheeljack was announced and given the name "Exhaust" in 2015.



The only previous figure of Exhaust went through a lot of controversy (due to his original deco being too close to the trademarks and deco for Marlboro cigarettes) and wasn't able to be officially imported into the U.S., due to U.S. laws forbidding the advertising of tobacco products on items that could even potentially be marketed towards children.



Selects Exhaust looks to still retain his red and white color scheme, though any sponsor decals in car mode aren't able to be seen. Interestingly, though packaged as a Decepticon, he has an interesting faction logo, likely that of the "Mercenary" faction that was rumored to be a part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy.



So, history lesson aside, what do you think of this (unofficial) reveal? Are you excited to be able to add this to your collection in the future? While these images come from an Ebay auction, it's likely that with the recent pictures of Hubcap we've seen, we'll likely see an official reveal of Exhaust soon, along with a release date.

While you're checking out this news, why not also check out the galleries of Masterpiece Exhaust, courtesy of our own Seibertron himself? Click any picture below to be taken to them.

Really? It just looks like a repaint of Ironworks' gun to me.

That's why I recanted.

I'll be getting Exhaust. Maybe not so much on Greasepit.

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-11, 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.

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

Whats up with Exhaust symbol?

TulioDude wrote:Whats up with Exhaust symbol?

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).

wolverinetodd wrote: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?

o.supreme wrote: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.

I like that they're doing Exhaust, but that symbol is wierd. And the lack of purple is disappointing.

So uh, is there going to be anything left to reveal Friday?

Always loved Greasepit. My favourite Micromaster base.

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?

...Not sure on your logic there.

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.

Do they have the merc faction symbol on them though?

ZeroWolf wrote:Do they have the merc faction symbol on them though?

I don't know, but the 'merc' symbol is a stylized Quintesson face, no?

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

I'm hoping for at least one reveal we haven't gotten leaked yet. I'm also hoping its one I'll like, too.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote: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?

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.

I’d be down for an Exhaust. Wish they put more effort into Greasepit, but hey, more Decepticon Modulators are always welcome in my collection.

Like Bumblebee for Earthrise. I could see that.
