New Images of Transformers Generations Select Rotorstorm

Am I the only one bothered by Spinister's guns not being the same? I look at Rotorstorm and all four barrels are yellow and it just looks so much better to me.

I'm definitely considering it, especially since I just got a box Overlord on the cheap!

Not sure why they even tried to put the symbols on the shoulders and if they thought that it some how works they could have given ultra magnus his. Skipping rotorstorm for the original toy tho the selects version looks nice I'd rather him be different to spinnister.

Gotta admit, Rotorstorm looks pretty damned good!

Spinister's guns were designed to look like his old Targetmasters in gun mode, so that's why they're different colors.

Kinda regretted preordering before the head was shown to be different than Spinister's, But now I'm so glad I did. He looks fantastic! Now they just need to do Pyro, Guzzle, And Ironfist, And I'll be very happy.
C'mon Hasbro, You know you want to!.. You do want to.. Right? Right?

Oh yeah, he was a double Targetmaster. They got funky with the color schemes at the tail end of G1.

Rotorstorm still looks great, no regrets.

Has anyone else seen this yet? This screenshot has been making rounds, and I just checked and confirmed it is a real post:

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Nemesis Primal and -WonkoTheSane- have let us knkw that the Official Transformers Instagram has been updated with a surprising list of reveal dates, in what Hasbro is calling, Transformers Tuesdays!



As you can see from the image, every Tuesday starting tomorrow (08/11) until Tuesday 09/08, at 12 Eastern Time (9 Pacific Time) a new Transformers Generations Selects figure will be revealed on the sellers listed on that day (tomorrow the reveal will fall on Hasbro Pulse for instance, then next week Entertainment Earth etc)

While the post says figures, we don't know how many are set to be revealed each time.

What do you think we'll see tomorrow? What figures would you like to see done in the Selects range? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

So we can assume there's at least 5 reveals if each reveals one. And that somewhat matches up with previous leaks.

Hothouse (Airwave repaint)
Bugbite (Bumblebee repaint)
G2 Megatron (ER Megatron repaint)
Roritchi (Fasttrack repaint)

And I'm guessing Bluestreak? I don't think he's been leaked for any specific line.

The Bluestreak listing on eBay that had those renders that got posted on the ER thread claims him to be E32 as part of Earthrise proper, so I'm inclined to believe he's the Walgreens figure this year.

There have some Selects Ratchet leaks/claims of varying credibility, so maybe the 5th one is Ratchet? Outside of that, it would have to be someone we don't know about.

Man that is going to be a real PITA to keep track of. Well thankfully I only want 2 of these, (Hothouse & Roritchi) hopefully they are both Pulse...odds are not likely though. I especially feel bad for all non US fans, hopefully they can get these some other way.

Have there been a Selects figure not available through Pulse?

Edit: Nevermind, you mean the reveal.

I don't think so, but hopefully there will be a little clarification. Do these online retailers get absolute exclusivity, or just first release of these toys?

I remember with Lancer and Galactic Man, I think EE had first release at SDCC last year, and Pulse got it 3 or 4 months later...

Inferno would be my guess for selects if the earth rise rumor of only three waves is true.

Earthrise is confirmed to have 4 waves, if only 1 or 2 items in that wave, like how PotP only new item in wave 4 was Novastar... Inferno is slated for Kingdom

blackeyedprime wrote:Inferno would be my guess for selects if the earth rise rumor of only three waves is true.

Inferno is rumoured to be a Kingdom release.

Shackwave and Lancer were both available on Pulse during SDCC while EE was selling them, they just had limited stock because most of it seemingly went to EE at the time, so most of the users here who ordered them from Pulse got them later because of that.

There was one Selects figure that was never sold on Pulse though: RED WING.

blackeyedprime wrote:Inferno would be my guess for selects if the earth rise rumor of only three waves is true.

Inferno is supposedly in Kingdom Wave 1 according to the credible leaks.
EDIT: Ninja'd twice over.

There's also new rumours stating that Earthrise is only going to be three waves with Kingdom potentially hitting when Siege wave 5 was out. Its dubious but I can sorta see it

ZeroWolf wrote:There's also new rumours stating that Earthrise is only going to be three waves with Kingdom potentially hitting when Siege wave 5 was out. Its dubious but I can sorta see it

I thought it said KINGDOM was only going to be 3 waves, with wave 1, yes to hit late 2020.....

Kingdoms inferno could be beast wars inferno. I'd like a selects artfire but that seems like it could be a netflix wave 3 thing with the Netflix voyagers including battlemasters.

Nah the rumour was specifically G1 Inferno.

O.Supreme@ I could have sworn it said Earthrise was three waves:-?

Both the credible Kingdom leaker AND In-Demand Toys have said that Earthrise only has 3 waves and Kingdom starts in December.

The leak was specifically G1 Inferno from the ER Grapple mold, the leaker was specific for that exact potential confusion. So far BW Inferno being in Kingdom is actually up in the air because of it, because people seem to think getting two Infernos in one line will be "too confusing" even though we've had multiple Optimus figures in almost every recent line.

I would also love a Selects Artfire though, that would probably be the only one that interests me. That color scheme is great.

ZeroWolf wrote:O.Supreme@ I could have sworn it said Earthrise was three waves:-?

My bad, you are correct about the rumor, but the rumor itself must be incorrect, because we have this:

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... uct/44755/

and we know Runabout is a standard release assumed for ER wave 4 (possibly the only release) to complete the map.

Yet the credibal leaker will be wrong about core optimus prime if it is Bat mode/ Optimus primal unless hasbro is just calling the bat prime instead of primal -so I still think beast wars infernos due to appear in Kingdom especially if beast Wars Scorponok does.

Personally I am still hoping for a 'Nightbeat' release. The thrilling 30 release I wasn't a fan of. I would love a more G1 accurate and up to date Nightbeat.

That would be nice, I'd buy it. The Thrilling 30 one never really screamed Nightbeat to me. Of course, It didn't really help I didn't really like the mold to begin with.

The difference is that there is no confusion with multiple Optimus Prime toys because Optimus Prime is still Optimus Prime, while Inferno is not Inferno (despite Dawn of the Predacus's stupid implications).

If we can get Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal in PotP, I'm sure we could get Inferno and Predacon Inferno in Kingdom. I thought that so far we've only seen Beast Wars season one characters, though?

Optimus Prime has always looked roughly the same with every toy he gets, but the name "Inferno" has been applied to other designs outside of the usual Fire Truck, like the ant and a Mini-Con missile truck from Armada.

Nothing a prefix can't solve...

Haha NO.

For clarification, I am WAY more interested in getting Predacon Inferno than G1 Inferno and will be upset if we don't, but I also don't trust Hasbro to not do something stupid and exclude him because the G1 guy is "higher profile" and having them both will be "confusing", or something. I want to be proven wrong in this instance.

...Inferno is a Season 1 character. That's why he's being discussed, because the leaker has only seen Season 1 characters but has also only seen the first wave or two in the line, so a number of them are only assumed to be coming right now and Inferno is the only one that could be potentially problematic.

Runabout is actually suspected to be a Target exclusive, not a retail figure, and that map is so far the only evidence that Wave 4 actually exists, so if it's counting the exclusives for ER as their own wave or it's just outdated/based on plans for the line that got dropped then it could very easily be out the window.

Guaranteed to sell out by 12:05 pm each Tuesday.

Hasbro Pulse and online specialty retailer items are completely different than those from Wal-Mart and Target. I understand why people are upset, but this is a different thing. Pulse has sold out of several that were announced a few weeks ago, but nearly all are still offered by BBTS.

BW Inferno is from Season 1.

I, on the other hand, want a G1 Inferno. Hopefully we both get what we want.

I'm still hoping for a Selects Artfire. That might be the only way I get that mold.

If the rumors of Ratchet, Bugbite, Roritchi, Hothouse, and G2 Megs are true, then that's good, I only want Hothouse and Roritchi of the group.

So with those reveals, are those stores going to get exclusive rights to them? I'm a touch confused on that part.

Probably shared exclusives? They all carry Generations Selects products right now. Who knows for sure, we'll probably find out tomorrow.

I'm still superbly good with the MP, but I do want a simpler version for fun. I love the character, no idea why, just do!

If I made more, I would totally have the classics or G1 one by now I think. I saved up for that MP Artfire, and haven't regretted it. Top 10 of my collection right there that toy.

And after seeing more and more people get Grapple, I'm still uncertain about the mold. Seriously considering going back and grabbing another PotP Inferno for my shelf Inferno to go with RTS Grapple

I love grapple, definitley recomend him, shouldn't be hard to get either, seems he warms shelves wherever his case pack shows up; he's a great, solid figure, even has triple-jointed ankles for crazy poses

I've seen him a bunch, no interest in him in person either. He's bland, like the MP. I'm hoping an eventual Artfire follows through like the MPs did, getting better every time until Artfire perfects it

I get that, I feel like I would probably feel the same way if inferno ever came out, but artfire just has a nice pop of color that both grapple and inferno don't, and I think that goes a long way

I've seen some people getting them early; Apparently stores are getting them in now and can break the release date (Though they're really not supposed to). However, The release date is indeed approximately early 4th quarter 2020. How he'd have gotten it from BBTS though, I have no idea. *Shrugs*
