Generations Selects WFC-GS24 G2 Ramjet revealed

I'll wait for him to be instock over here as I'm still waiting on sandstorm and having the mold as two repaints before even having him in normal colors seems kinda crazy. The figure could have had more paint apps/tampos to be on par with the G2 toy but hey.

Looks great! Seems as if I'll have him before Amazon gets the regular release.

I just noticed the paint job on the Null Rays to recreate the spring-loaded missiles. I was just thinking about the possibility of a G2 Ramjet and here it is. What are the chances of getting a sound pack like the original?

I like that G2 Ramjet a lot!
I'll be getting him for sure and I'll headcannon him as Netflix Siege Hotlink's brother.

Officially, zero aout of a zillion.
But maybe some 3P companies would make an upgrade kit or some Shapeway smart-ass will make it. It won't have the electronics, but you'll get the looks at least.

Since we are being given this awesome looking G2 Ramjet I would love it if we got G2 Starscream too!

I'm satisfied with my regular G1 style ER Ramjet, thanks

Nice looking colors, I dig him, but I have 2 of the exact mold already, so I don't need him again. Bring on a Slipstream already!

I would say one out of a million.

Now all we need is a g2 Starscream repaint

Weak.

We need
[list=][*]Blackout G2 Starscream
[*]G2 Starscream
[*]Sunstorm
[*]Nacelle
[*]Actionmaster Thundercracker
[/list]

Pssh. 1 more Seeker. As if. /sarcasm

(But I do want all those... Maybe not Thundercracker because fugly, but still a better looking toy than Transmutate

Preordered Ramjet (and Sandstorm because why not) in the hopes that a third will be made to make yet another Seeker squadron

For me this would be Slipstream personally regardless of the conehead, the Ramjet name being on the plane mode I would interpret as her being a fan of his which would also be a reason for taking on a form that looks closer to his.

Speaking of, adding to that list of Seekers we still need, I really hope Hasbro actually gives us a Slipstream. I don't need any retooling of the body to make it more feminine or anything like what I've seen some people want, it just needs a new head.

I caved and preordered it along with Transmutate. If Hasbro fails to provide the items at least I won't be missing main characters.

I like it, and I agree with the previous sentiments with bring on g2 Starscream. However I feel I have to point out that he is rocking the g1 Decepticon logo, and I don't spy a g2 logo on him.

Just like the original, sadly.

It was the Fun Pub version that had the G2 symbols.

As pointed out elsewhere, by Jelze, the original sported G1 con symbols as well.

ahh I see, never owned the original g2 ramjet, but most of the g2 figures I did have g1 faction stickers and a g2 symbol stamp on them somewhere, usually next to their name so I assumed this guy would have one too. In fact I could have sworn I have seen a pic with ramjet showing the logo stamp on the back of his wing. Guess I was wrong

There's always ToyHax and their Reprolabels.

need Redwing

come on Target, you know you want to have another exclusive seeker...

I still maintain that we need G2 Jhiaxus as well.

I would be down for a roger ramjet, ramjet

I'm not a big Generation 2 fan, but I am semi-tempted to get this so I can have A Ramjet, because I'm sure as hell never going to own the Earthrise one. There is a Thrust going for an ok price on Ebay. It calls to me. IT CALLS TO ME!!! But I don't feel as if I should unless I can complete the whole conehead set.

You're not wrong, it was on the underside:

...they know that this is just Slipstream's colors on the wrong design and they're mocking us about it, boo. I really hope Hasbro still gives us a Slipstream and doesn't decide that they can't because they're too similar to this guy.

Well, they gave us both Thundercracker and Ion Storm in Siege, so who knows?

i think they need to do a three pack of standard seekers like from the first 3 episodes

While Nightbird is magnificent be VERY careful with her. I managed to snap off a hinge of the hood while transforming. I'll try my best to repair it.

Neat, but i would just like to get a Thrust without having to pay through my nose on scalpbay.

Maybe I'll just be talking to myself but I'll share what I did.

One "ear clip" made out of clear plastics broke off. Only glue wouldn't do so I had to add a piece of plastic. I then trimmed it down a bit and painted it. This way, not only the clip stay in place, everything is rock solid. If you're curious, it was a "arm door" of deluxe RTS Lazer Optimus Prime. (I have a huge box-o-scraps.)




But because the real estate under that hood is extremely tight, I had to trim down her feet to allow the necessary clearance. No more "combat ports" under those.



Nightbird still stand tall and strong, but her "popping off panties feature" was getting on my nerves so I glued her crotch joint and her panties in place. She lose that articulation point but rotating 10 degrees before a part fly off doesn't count as an genuine articulation point. Now she stay decent and she look amazing!



She also transform without any hassle and is solid everywhere.



The custom work is invisible in vehicle mode.



I'm glad I was able to salvage her. This mold is pretty nice but severely flawed.
Siege Chromia may have similar issues so be careful.

I dislike the Siege Chromia mold so much that the moment that Selects Nightbird was revealed, I went to eBay and purchased a Takara Legends Nightbird made from the Thrilling 30 Arcee mold.

I already have Legend Nightbird but she's deep in storage. The one I got was on sale at 21$CAN so at that price, why not. And with the mods that I made, it went from garbage toy to a nice one.

Ramjet looks pretty cool! I'm not overly fussed about the faction symbols (I'm the monster that put a G1 symbol on my MP G2 Sideswipe so eh) and I really dig the colours. Maybe, maybe...

Wish I had done that, Selects Nightbird really is weak

So, 19 named Seekers:

Starscream

Acid Storm
Bitstream
Blackout
Dirge
Hotlink
Ion Storm
Nacelle
Nova Storm
Ramjet
Red Wing
Sandstorm
Skywarp
Slipstream
Sunstorm
Thundercracker
Thrust
Wheezing Arrow
Itami Prime



Yet they simply call the upcoming Tetrajet with a new colour palette "Sparkless"

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Yet they simply call the upcoming Tetrajet with a new colour palette "Sparkless"

Generic zombies with no personal identities don't get names, apparently.

Though, I still say it looks more like one of the generic living Seekers seen in the cartoon.

This is just smart thinking on Hasbro's part. Instead of releasing yet another Seeker redeco that everyone buys one of before clamoring for the next redeco, they've released a generic army builder. You say you love Seekers? Go buy a dozen of these, then we'll see about more.

Given how many Tetrajets they have already released via WFC, I think they are an army builder by default now...

Hell yeah!

Only if he's done right. At least a voyager class (but I prefer leader, since they're so small these days) in proper comic colors.

Indeed. Not another Archive Oops like how the Thrilling 30 figure was colored.

I like to think that Jhiaxus' orange deco is his "G1" look. His original comic book appearance, which was in the Marvel G2 comics, is his "G2" redeco.

Not sure if this is newsworthy, but here's a video review of Select Volcanicus from Prime VS Prime:

Huh, when did Selects Soundblaster get pushed back?

I only got an email about Volcanicus being delayed on Pulse, but that, Abominus, and Soundblaster all seemed to be delayed about the same time.

Interesting. My wallet is thankful but I was hoping to get another figure with a Merc faction symbol sooner rather than later. Isn't the only difference between Hasbro and Takara Soundblaster the faction symbol? Wonder what the hold up is.

And the cleaner chest window with less battle damage than the Hasbro one.
