Million Publishing Transformers Generations Exclusive Poll Update

Alpha Trion using the Generations Scourge mold Japan, i am disappoint ಠ_ಠ

Nightbeat, not Goldfire.

Though it is the same mold, the Nightbeat head is what'll be used should Goshooter be the winner.

I like the touch of the chromed gun with A3 (Homage to the Key to Vector Sigma perhaps?)

Deadlock look's sweet...but I just wish I didn't feel like I'm looking at a G1 TFA Prowl

Fallen royally suck IMHO.

Omnibots are a nice idea, but they aren't exactly...exciting looking?

Smokescreen I don't get. Really. He's not the TFP deco, he's not the Armada deco, vaguely the Alt deco, but just kinda bleh.

Goshooter would give us a Siren to Hasbro's Nightbeat!

It's a white Sunstreaker....(Seriously, if I'm gonna buy a TF that turns into an awesome supercar, I want it to be brightly colored!)

Silverbolt takes the cake out of this lot. If he's given the Million publishing deal, I might pick him up. He's a LOT cooler then the previous.

It's Generation 2 Smokescreen. The Decepticon.

I really do hope A3 or Black Drift wins... if either does, that would be the first (and perhaps last) Million Publishing figure I buy.

He's a plane.






He's a freaking PLANE!


One of the new, all-time dumbest repaints!

Alpha Trion is a good pick.

Not yet. Not at the point in time that the story he (and all nine of the others) appear in takes place.


That's right. Even though there will only be one winner, all ten of these figures are canon.

I'm a little confused, when you guys say "one winner" you mean that only one figure will become a reality? If someone could clear this up for me I'd be greatly appreciated

A little late on the alpha trion repaint. Better alternatives are coming. I already own a custom police sunstreaker. I would rather see the omnibots get new molds. The fallen already has an awesome figure from maketoys. I think silverbolt would be the best option. Only because funpub has been on a roll with beast wars figures, so why not keep em coming ?

This is a poll for the next exclusive to be included in Million Publishing's Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 2 book. Volume 1's exclusive is Shouki, while these ten are candidates to be voted upon by Japanese consumers for the Volume 2 toy.

Thus far, the top contenders in the poll are Goshooter, Metals Silverbolt, Alpha Trion, and Autobot Drift Black Ver.

But despite only one getting made, all ten of them appeared as canonical characters in one of the Volume 1 book's manga stories, so now I want all of them to get made.

Hero-X/Million Publishing has posted the results of their poll to determine their mail away exclusive, and the winner is GoShooter! See the full poll results below:

1. Goshooter using the Generations Goldfire mold = 29.3%
2. Alpha Trion using the Generations Scourge mold = 28.9%
3. Beast Wars Silverbolt using the Beast Hunters Grimwing mold =14.8%
4. Autobot Drift Black Version using the Generations Drift mold = 12.7%
5. The Fallen using the Generations FoC Onslaught mold = 5.0%
6. Sunstreaker Police Type using the Universe Sunstreaker mold =3.8%
7. Smokescreen using the Universe Smokescreen mold and Omnibot Overdrive using the Universe Smokescreen mold (Tie) = 2.9%
8. Omnibot Downshift using the Universe Ironhide mold = 1.6%
9. Ominbot Camshaft using the Generations Wheeljack mold = 1.0%

WAHOO!! Goshooter won! Goshooter won!

Now we just need the other nine to also get made later on since all ten are now canon.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the others show up in later years, especially if they continue with 2 volumes a year.

I really hope that A3 comes to pass.

I hope they come to pass, I want my Omnibots

Speaking of Omnibots, a little correction: back in G1, Camshaft's and Downshift's names were switched for Japan, and here it's the same case. JP Camshaft or US Downshift (Wheeljack mold) is in 8th place and JP Downshift or US Camshaft (Ironhide mold) is in last place.

And just for fun I decided to add the percentages: 103.1%. Note I'm counting Smokescreen and Overdrive each as 2.9% as they're tied, not together.

I wish I had another hand so I could give this choice three thumbs down.

I'm done with Headmasters who don't have transforming heads.

well drat. That was at the bottom of my own list of wants.

KICK ON!

I'd get most of those except Alpha Trion and Silverbolt. I'm curious to see how many of these we'll actually see.

Yeah, I have to say... I'd probably have picked them up if they did them as a line. They should do an omnibot box set... and a diaclone box set.

Bit of trivia about the Silverbolt toy, had it been made, it would have been called "Metals Silverbolt", being a Transmetal 2 body for him.

Sabrblade: was there plans for vac-metal bits on him?

gothsaurus wrote:Sabrblade: was there plans for vac-metal bits on him?

I don't know.

I'd love to see Classics-verse versions of the Omnibots, but I didn't like the suggested repaints offered here.

Sabrblade wrote:Bit of trivia about the Silverbolt toy, had it been made, it would have been called "Metals Silverbolt", being a Transmetal 2 body for him.

Why Transmetal 2? It's more like a regular symmetric Transmetal body (with the wolf/eagle bits probably switching positions) without the third mode.

My guess is that the Fuzors were considered akin to the regular Transmetals, level-wise, with an upgraded Silverbolt being akin to the next step in Beast Wars body forms: Transmetal 2.

Goshooter should have been made from the Drift/Blurr mold.

Goshooter had better use the new Nightbeat head, since that would be screen accurate. It'd be a waste for them not to use that head ... other Goshooter will just have a Bumblebee head.

It will use the Nightbeat head. Takara didn't have any stock photography of Nightbeat to recolor (since they haven't released that version of the figure), so they had to recolor their TG26 Bumblebee Goldbug stock photo instead.

It should look something like this:

I agree.

Well million publishing lost a possible costumer today, oh well.

I'm so damn tired of non-headmaster headmasters, especially after hasbros brainstorm and funpubs scorpinok. Someone somewhere im the development process in hasbro and takara (I know million publishing distributes these figures but that's besides the point) should say we should leave the headmasters on the backburner until we can make them have heads that turn into little men from this point on.

Yeah, working headmasters would be amazing.

As a side note, I have to say... even with the club/botcon's limitations by Hasbro/Takara (i.e. which molds, characters, how many retools, etc.) — they really knocked that Scorponok out of the park. That G1 retool head looks the best out of ANY of the original G1 heads. Seeing it side-by-side with the old ones really accentuates how good it looks.

Out of all the old gimmicks, the headmaster one had the best playability. You could change the traits, look, and personality of the figures... team them up... swap around. It had deep reaching implications... more so than just swapping a weapon. (and the Pretenders were a bit too He-Man looking in their odd, mustached bodies.)

I'd love to see the headmaster gimmick brought back as a main line for Generations so we could actually swap heads... I'd like this more than any other gimmick.

That... and real Omnibots.

Goshooter is not a Headmaster anymore.

Oh, god, why?! That mold is my least favorite mold since.... Well gosh, I don't even know when. That mold is just sooo terrible. It's absurdly rare for me to like a Transformer in Alt Mode than in Robot Mode... Even though I AM happy to have an official Goldbug Goldfire, that mold is just the pits.

Alpha Trion needed to win.

Hmm, so Elvis did do "no drugs"?


In all seriousness, at the end of the Masterforce cartoon, every "-master" type Transformer became fully living beings that no longer relied on their toy gimmicks to transform or be alive, save for Hydra and Buster who were a different case.

Sabrblade wrote:Goshooter is not a Headmaster anymore.

Based on the fact that like the Godmaster ones, the Headmaster Jr. Transtectors gained proper life after Masterforce? I mean, Minerva and God Ginrai appeared in Victory as proper Transformers, not as, shall we say, human-controled mechs.

Yup.

I know Goshooter (ugh that name) has his fans, but I am disappointed.

He goes by "Shuta".

It's a turn of phrase from Penn & Teller

Anyhow look, just because the cartoon said they becamereal boys, doesn't mean that we don't primarily associate them as (insert)masters. Here's an analogy, Later in their career, A-Ha did a heartfelt emotional cover crying in the rain, but that doesn't matter, all we'll remember them for is take on me. Goshooter = Headmaster, A-ha = Take on Me

Just remember, for every guy saying "Goshooter should be a Headmaster", there's another saying "Goshooter is no longer one, the story he's in takes place after Masterforce when the Transtector became alive and went into space to fight evil and such, while the boy who was his head stayed on Earth"

But they both practically sound the same... "Shūta" just sounds more... Japanese.

Oh Japan, you've falled us all by allowing that mode to be Yet AGAIN reissued. Shame on you.

Go was his family name. So Go, Shuta is most appropriate. What Shuta means........well.......

I think three versions of that mold were enough. It's ok, not great.

If he comes with an Arms micron that may tip me over the edge and get this figure.

well FAnsProject is doing all 4 headmasters as well as the Horrorcons. Hasbro stated if they sell they may do one more.
