Thanks to a post by Yenting Lai on the Transformers Never Die Facebook page, we have some brand new in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers Generations Selects Star Convoy!

Star Convoy is the first Takara initiated Selects figure, and is a retool of the Power of the Primes Optimus Prime figure, featuring new leg armor, chest pieces, shoulders, and headsculpt for the larger robot, and an almost entirely retooled smaller robot. The alternate mode ends up looking about the same as the original mold, with almost all the retooling done to the robot modes.

Star Convoy is shown to have stickers to attach to his trailer, meaning you can decorate the trailer up how you want it to be and have the stickers as straight as you can get them.

Star Convoy is currently scheduled for a November release. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I would so love to have this but I can't justify paying 90$ for a mold I don't like.

I still wish they would have remolded the windows to be more Star Convoy-ish, but I am happy to be getting him. He looks pretty dang good

Don't really like this figure. Too much fake chestery going on.

Was also dissapointed about that with the Power of the Primes mold. Why couldn't one chest be real?

Looks like Japanese reviewers are getting the big guy in now:

So the smaller robot mode resembles the Action Master toy? Huh, never thought about that. :-?

Ugh, I wish I'd been able to pre-order the rest of the set. Now I just gotta hope that Hasbro or BBTS will still have some stock once they're actually released so I won't have to pay triple the price for each figure on Ebay

Re: In-Hand Images of Transformers Generations Selects Star Convoy (2040040)
Posted by chuckdawg1999 on October 1st, 2019 @ 11:54am CDT

Did anybody get an email from BBTS canceling the pre-orders for the first two figures in the set? I'm hearing people have and that the Seacons will be Pulse exclusives going forward

Heard about that from others.

It's probably just a temporary thing allowing Pulse first dibs on these figures. I'd imagine other venues will open back up for them later on after Pulse is satisfied with being the only initial outlet for these, but which will probably happen only after the figures' release in January.

I have the first two pre-ordered but I haven't gotten a notification yet. It makes sense since BBTS hasn't put the other sets up yet.

I don't see why not, since they did Baldigus from Bruticus in Unite Warriors.

Yeah, but a lot of parts have been changed. In fact, the only unchanged parts I'm spotting are the fists, the waist swivel, hips and back piece with the Combiner peg. Very impressive, and easily the most retooled out of the bunch.

Scuba had better start hiding...

So what's the deal with the Seacon preorders being removed and being made exclusive to Hasbro Pulse? Isn't Pulse for Americans only?

Seems like Pulse wants first dibs on the Seacons. Other stores will probably get their orders put up again once Pulse has been satisfied with their initial exclusivity for these, but which probably won't happen until after their release in January.

If TFsource removes them then, that's it, no way for me to realistically get all the Seacons.

Guess I'll just...spend the money on some other exclusive or cool retool that's already in stock at an online retailer. Maybe a God Ginrai or Greatshot or something. No seafood lads for me at this rate. >:oP

The final two members of the Transformers Generations Selects Seacon team have been unveiled! Check out the new images of OVERBITE and TENTAKIL that were posted earlier today on Takara Tomy Mall, which we mirrored below for your viewing convenience. You can view images of the other four Seacons who combine with Overbite and Tentakil to form the Decepticon Combiner PIRANACON (aka KING POSEIDON) which were previously revealed here: Snaptrap (Turtler), Skalor (Gulf), Seawing (Kraken), and Nautilator (Lobclaw). It is currently unknown if the Seacons will become available for pre-order at other retailers. The first four are currently no longer available through HasbroPulse.com.

Wow, way to finish off the team!

I am sorely tempted to get 2 of Tentakill to have one by himself.

Here's hoping for a God Neptune!!!

Kinda sucks that Overbite has Rippersnapper's silly knuckle claws, but he totally pulls off the shark mode better.

And Tentakil sharing the same engineering as Moonracer is freaking amazing. This is some TR A3/Broadside stuff, man.

Thanks to Seibertronian JelZe Goldrabbit, we have news that there is now a Japanese language review for the upcoming Transformers Generations Selects Star Convoy.

This video review covers the new selects toy, which is a retooling of the Power of the Primes Optimus Prime mold. The inner robot mode is now based on his G1 Action Master toy, complete with yellow eyes and all, while the outer robot is a modified version of the original Star Convoy design. The alt mode is identical tooling wise to the original molding. The review also shows a comparison to the Siege Optimus Prime figure.

You can check out the video review below, and stay tuned, as Star Convoy is due out in approximately 1 months time!

Its also neat because its a fembot mold...and it just so happen Tentakil's retool in BW2 was female.

That Tentakil is just feminine enough to be what I want out of a Tentakil! I look forward to this set!

Thanks to the TFWiki Twitter page, we have some new official images to share with you for the upcoming Transformers Generations Selects Hot Shot and Cromar!

These new images give us a nice clear look at these 2 new Selects releases. Hot Shot is a new head retool of the Wave 1 Hound figure, and is based on his Cybertron Defense body from Transformers Cybertron. Cromar is a new head retool of the Wave 2 Sixgun figure, and is the final of the 3 Powerdashers to receive official images.

Both of these figures will be available from the Entertainment Earth booth during New York Comic Con this coming weekend, and will presumably go up for sale following the Con as well.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

IDK, I like the overall design of the original toy for Cybertron Defense Hot Shot, but it was nowhere near as poseable as this new one is. Best of both worlds we'd get an update directly of the original design with modern articulation and engineering, but for now I'll happily take this new one.

And their HasLab Unicron preorder (in one's Order Stack, at least) says that that figure is coming "January 2020", but that ain't right.

Way back when the Seacons were first announced I made up my mind to get them all at once instead of 1 or 2 at a time. I wonder if that was a mistake financially...will the whole set demand a higher price on the aftermarket, or will they be released as a set as well, perhaps as a redeco, like the G2 versions of the other combiners were?

And I would love it if Selects did an actual blue Bluestreak.

Like most Combiners you're probably better off buying ASAP because these aren't likely to become cheaper. It's doubtful that a box set is coming later for this team though I wouldn't rule one out for the potential God Neptune team.

Yeah, but I guess I just personally need at least a certain baseline amount of articulation to get a figure, and the original CD Hot Shot does not do it for me (and I say that as someone who has the figure).
