Or it could be a reversal of the MP situation, where we got an MP Clampdown and still don't have an MP Deep Cover.

Just confirming. Clampdown would the the only redeco left if we are looking at all the released redecos of G1 sideswipe correct?

No, we ran through that list yesterday. Clampdown is needed, but so is the yellow and blue G2 Sideswipe deco. And then you get more if you go to other uses of the car as an alt or SG it up, which would not only provide room for SG Sideswipe but also Armada Wheeljack

He was asking specifically about released uses of the G1 Sideswipe mold, and that G2 blue and yellow prototype was never released.

I still count it because G2 Sandstorm has happened, so that G2 deco might still happen too

FYI, this is the generations selects thread, the discussion for Scourge is happening in the Studio Series thread.

I saw that list but the talk drifted away from what I am actually talking about.
I am just asking for redecos of the original g1 sideswipe toy that were released.
So I ask again: Is clampdown the only one left?

Released? Yes, he is it.
1 more if you include unreleased G2 yellow fade to blue. Which to me is viable, see G2 Sandstorm

Yes, unless you count New Year's Lambor and Alert as different decos, or just the same deco with slightly different stickers.

But do they? Honest question on my part. Both G2 versions of Megs and Sandstorm were all called G2 in the product names. Sideswipe was called "Covert Clone" for whatever reason, and was missing some of the more unique G2 deco details. Recall the same set gave us a good enough Pinpointer in Trenchfoot that everyone assumed was Pinpointer. Then they actually gave us a Pinpointer.

I was talking about the deco, not the character, and Hasbro may consider it already done... on that mold. Had we gotten an Earthrise Sideswipe mold with spoiler, then maybe.

Pretty sure there's a rumor already of Sweeps and Junkions being released in either SS86 or Selects to go with Scourge and the Wreck-Gar that's been rumored/leaked, which would also explain why Hasbro decided to shortpack Scourge of all characters.aronjlove wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Anyone else hoping for some Generations Selects repaints of Kingdom Cyclonus and SS86 Scourge? I'd love a "toy colors" Cyclonus or two to serve as his "Armada." I could just buy multiple copies of Scourge to have the Sweeps to go along with Scourge proper, but it would be nice if they could be differentiated with an altered head sculpt or coloring.
For Scourge, after seeing some more pics and deciding I really want him, I was thinking of looking on ebay for some TR or other, older Scourges to be his Sweeps but a Gen Selects repaint would be cool too.

They did Hotlink after Skywarp.
And Exhaust after Wheeljack.
both are really close color matches, but still happened
Posted by Nemesis Primal on January 21st, 2021 @ 3:46pm CST
...yeah, but they technically only match those other characters that much because Hasbro made specific choices with their decos that aren't exactly "accurate" and made them more comparable (Exhaust is missing his blue, Hotlink usually has waaaaay less black), and those two are at least still separate characters, so they exist for a reason. This would just be Sideswipe for the...4th(?) time, except now he also looks exactly like Tigertrack (who JUST came out a few months ago) to reference a figure that never got released that maybe 3% of the customer base actually knows about. It would be the equivalent to Hasbro waiting for the Netflix Nemesis Prime to come out, and then 2 months later releasing another Nemesis-colored version of that exact Optimus mold, but with 2 additional paint apps and labeled as Optimus instead of Nemesis because of some obscure comic where Optimus went undercover or something. The only people that would buy it would be the people who missed out on the actual Nemesis or people buying gifts for someone else, and even that would depend on if Nemesis Optimus was more widely available than Nemesis was (which, in the case of Tigertrack versus Sunset Sideswipe, would be a moot point since they'd both be Selects and those who couldn't get Tigertrack because of it also wouldn't be able to get the Sideswipe).D-Maximal_Primal wrote:They did Hotlink after Skywarp.

But this is also selects, obscure is supposed to be the name of the game.
Plus, they may be trying to make the Lambros the "seekers" of the autobots instead of the datsuns.
I seriously would not put it past them to do this deco. They seem to be dipping into obscure/unreleased G2 stuff and diaclone with this line, I won't rule it out.
Posted by aronjlove on January 21st, 2021 @ 3:56pm CST
I was thinking just this same thought a couple of days ago looking at all my Sideswipe and redeco cars. I got the Cordon and Spin-Out 2 pack coming this tomorrow or Saturday, depending on FedEx delivering it themselves or passing it to the Post Office. I'd easily buy a couple more Sideswipe and Sunstreaker mold figures. It is fun to transform and looks good in alt-mode. Same with the ER Seeker mold, once I got my hands on it I wanted every other one because it was fun to transform and looks cool in alt-mode. Hasbro did good with these molds, and with Gigawatt we've seen Hasbro can change up the Sideswipe design like they have changed up the seeker design for the coneheads.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Plus, they may be trying to make the Lambros the "seekers" of the autobots instead of the datsuns.

Moving past this, if Siege molds are still on the table for Selects even though we're in Kingdom now, how have we STILL not gotten Detritus yet?

Have we gotten any eHobby-original characters that aren't based on a Diaclone or Microman release? Like Sunstorm?
Posted by Nemesis Primal on January 21st, 2021 @ 6:15pm CST
In Selects? Bugbite, technically, since eHobby was responsible for the set that made him and those other Gobot characters canon Transformers characters. I almost said Deep Cover until I checked TFWIki, pre-G1 is not one of my areas of expertise since G1 itself barely is.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Have we gotten any eHobby-original characters that aren't based on a Diaclone or Microman release?

Outside of Selects, Sunstorm has received multiple figures since their eHobby origins, including a Masterpiece, so I fail to see why him and/or Detritus being eHobby exclusives originally matters, unless there's some legal nonsense or something that I don't know about.

I like the colors on this mold and I wasn’t fond of the “battle damage” on the Siege mold, so even if it is overdone, I’d be interested in getting this version.

I specified "not based on a Diaclone or Microman release". The ones that do like Deep Cover and Tigertrack are taking priority over e-Hobby-original decos it seems (to be fair, Bug Bite's white may have been based on a deteriorated video tape that showed his yellow as white). Given historical significance, I can see why.

Exactly. I'd be fine with a G1 toy-based head too, as they're pretty much the same. As long as it has the visor.

But wait, there is another, and most of us could find him at a local Walgreens taunting us while we were looking for ER Bluestreak (or Siege Ratchet for that matter, he's been a round a while).
Not a great figure, doesn't scale with anything, but he's fun desk toy.

Prowl doesn't have an evergreen design that we've seen outside of Cyberverse. And the cyberbattalion toy pictured above predates the authentics line. The other Cyberbattalion figures dont resemble their evergreen designs that much. But maybe Cy reverse used this cyberbattalion design for cues.

All in all i am happy to have bought the pack for around 60 bucks rather then almost 90 or more for the takara mall one from last spring, this is a better value for sure just at the cost of a little less teal HaHa

Here ya go:
The blasters do fit up top (barely and kinda half-assed, but they do).
But even better is if you use his Blaster and Fangtron as a trailer hitch. Then you can side mount the blasters with swords up top.

Or you can give them to G1 Powermaster Prime, if you have one and he's missing his shoulder guns. Or maybe give them to PoTP leader Prime to complete the truck mode.TF-fan kev777 wrote:M.

I do (well, the 2003 reissue) and, after reading this suggestion of yours, I tested it out and am sad to report that Nemesis's double-barreled cannons cannot attach to G1 PM Prime's upper arms. The cannons' pegs are too short to grip the arm holes.Rodimus Prime wrote:Or you can give them to G1 Powermaster Prime, if you have one
