Was worried there for a second, am I the only one with a turtler with really nice, tight ratchets? he has no problem posing, or holding a pose, now maybe it is the combiner knee joints on the limbs, but they work just fine as arms, so I'm guessing not? the elbows aren't the strongest in the world, but they can hold the sword up just fine; the price you pay for getting first production run figures I guess

None of these figures were first production run and were all preordered months in advance like the majority of figures I review. I’ve been talking to a few people who have completed this and they all have ran into similar issues. Just something to bare in mind when completing him

I actually have the opposite problem. My Turtler's shoulder joints are so tight, I'm worried the ratchet is going to tear itself apart, TR Trypticon style!

Well, if that is the case, then I guess that's the plus side of using a mix-n-match design for the limbs, got my turtler wearing some terrorcon pants and he poses great with them

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to the work of fellow Seibertron users, Jtprime17, and Hellscream9999, we've been directed to a listing posted on TFW2005 by a user there called UtahRobotinDisguise, of an unknown supplier starting to solicit three new Generations Selects toys, Exhaust, Greasepit and Hubcap. Fans may remember these from a list of rumoured toys (that also featured Rotostorm among others).

Check out the image below then sound off your thoughts in the Energon Pub, letting us know what you think of these. Remember to stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Finally, Hubcap's first new figure since 1986!

Paying selects prices for hubcap is going to sting was hoping greasepit would be retail to save some penny's and for availability.

Are you not Stateside? Hasbro Selects are retail procw plus shipping, its the Takara stuff that Hasbro carries under Arlects that het the markup

Blackeyedprime is like me and resides in the UK. Hasbro Pulse is not an option for us

Maybe try entertainment earth? I am not sure if they ship to the UK, but it would not hurt to check!

A micromaster base, if I had to guess, it will be a redeco of Iron works (which I am all for!)

This is correct, possibly on both counts as it's been speculated that Air Wave will be redecoed/slight retooled into Hot House because of the presence of treads, leaving Ironworks with no redeco... Till now of course.

As for entertainment Earth, I did look into them a while back though can't remember how much it would have been for air mail.

Hubcap and Exhaust? Sign me up!

It would be some retool to turn a construction site into a Petrol Station

I saw Prime v Prime's King Poseidon review a few days ago. I have no QC issues with the first 4 Seacons, but the issues with the last 2, I am hoping mine don't have those...whenever TF source gets them in and shipped. I dont like how Tentakil's combined form is upside down as a leg...looks goofy, I may turn it around if possible. If the legs fit too loosely, you can stuff a tiny amount of tissue paper in them to add friction and create more stability (some people use putty, but I want something that comes off easily).

Also, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion, since most CW/UW/PotP Combiners can barely hold a legends figure as a weapon, that having a deluxe class one was not going to hold up at all, but once more fans start getting them all, I'm sure there will be some creative solutions.

I wonder if the rumored Earthrise Bumblebee is actually Hubcap.

Kind of like in Titans Return where instead of Cliffjumper, we got Roadburn/Chase from the Bumblebee mold.

Actually we're getting both (and a Selects Bug Bite). Hub Cap will be from the Cliffjumper mold and Bug Bite from Bee (who will be his own mold from what hasbro have said, possibly parts sharing with Cliffjumper)

Nice! Thanks for that info!

I wonder if we'll get Cordon from Earthrise Sunstreaker...

I was thinking the same, those final 2 just seem to have dropped off the map from them

Deathsanras wrote:I wonder if we'll get Cordon from Earthrise Sunstreaker...

Oh man! I hope so. And a blue Bluestreak from the new Smokescreen mold!

I NEEDS m'Diaclone!

Who Hubcap will be a repaint/remold of?
I still own the stellar HFTD scout and I don't think this Earthrise version will have that swell and dapper altmode.

Well it'll either be the G1 mini bot (so possibly Cliffjumper) or they could go left field and do G2 hubcap out of Hoist..my money is on G1 mini bot personally

Greetings Seibertronians! This news today is for our fellow fans down under! EB Games Australia and Zing Pop Culture have teamed up to offer Australian fans Takara's latest addition to the Selects line, Super Megatron!

Both sites have him listed for $110 Aus, with a deposit of $30.

Super Megatron is a heavy retool of Titans Return Galvatron, and is able to turn into a space craft, Ultra Megatron, a tank and Don a mask to become Ultra Megatron Omega.

Will you be getting this figure? You looking forward to pairing him against Star Convoy? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Official releases of Exhaust, Cordon, and Blue Streak would all be awesome, but I'm also ready to just buy extras and paint them if need be. Speaking of which, if Exhaust is indeed happening, what does everyone think of the odds of a Slicer figure? Because I already have an extra Wheeljack in case that doesn't happen; I just want to know if I should start painting now or wait.

I'd say wait until we know who else we get in Earthrise next to the Clones and Seekers. There's a 3 figure gap between them and Scorponok, the last numerically before the gaps start.

Good Lord! The price went way up. Luckily, I ordered mine earlier on, before the cost doubled. Yeesh.

Looking forward to pairing him up with my G1 Star Convoy (I haven't got the Selects version).

Considering the state of the Australian dollar at the moment, and that Star Convoy was retailing through other online Australian outlets for nearly $130, this is actually a good price for Australians.

Some of the Seacons are back on Pulse for pre-order, listed as shipping next month. Couldn't help myself, I ordered them. I like how they can be arms, legs, and guns with the gun mode actually fitting into the hand itself. Skipped Turtler since I could only get three limbs, gonna use these guys for a funky Abominus.

Perhaps Abomeneticus or Destron Super Scramble.

Stuff like this make me regret not getting Bruticus in any capacity because, man, I'd love to be able to joke about having nonsense like Abomenaticus in my collection.

Only Autobot Combiner I got is Volcanicus aka 'The Beast's better cousin'. I've started collecting during TR and am eternally kicking myself in the testicles for not having joined the fun during CW. That said, I can make a one-limbed combiner by attaching Richochet to Elita-1 or POTP Inferno!

If you don't care about building an iconic combiner and you don't mind an "anything goes" combiner, hunting down combiners limbs in the wild is easy. Flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores.... that is, when the world is not going to hell.

Then, buy a random KO Perfect Effect upgrade kit for the hands and feet and you're set!

You and me are in similar boats. While I was around and ready to collect CW/UW when they were coming out, I deliberately skipped most of CW because I wanted the UW versions instead, but then 2016 was the year that this happened to me, so I had to put my collecting UW on hold to go after all the older stuff. And now, all of the UW boxsets are really pricey on the aftermarket.

Man that stinks, sorry I had no idea. 2016 was kind of a roller coaster for me as well, but I just was patient and got them slowly. To start getting UW sets now would be extremely difficult I'd imagine, but even on eBay loose CW limbs I don't think are too outrageous, while of course MOC ones are quite pricey.

Of course hindsight is 20/20. If I could go back in time I'd definitely do whatever it took to go to Botcon 2016 and register myself, wife and 2 kids all for the custom Ratchet class so we could have all 4 variants. I mean how many fans can say they have an actual Modulus....

And right now is certainly not the most ideal time to be importing toys from sellers in eastern Asia.

At least two, to my knowledge.

Though, I could have gotten myself an unpainted Medix in 2018 if I'd gone after one of the ones that Pete had for sale at RoboCon that year. Alas, I had other toy priorities at that year's con.

I look forward to seeing pics of the new Exhaust. I have more interest in him than I do in regular ER Wheeljack.

Since we're getting Exhaust does it mean no Slicer? Just wondering.

Skritz wrote:Since we're getting Exhaust does it mean no Slicer? Just wondering.

Slicer is still possible, as long as he uses the Wheeljack head. I'm fully expecting Exhaust to have a new one, I mean, he'd just be Wheeljack with a different sponsor otherwise

Man I still wish we could see Wheeljack reshelled into a CHUG Lockdown...

Skritz wrote:Man I still wish we could see Wheeljack reshelled into a CHUG Lockdown...

... with Axer or even Circuit as retool

Skritz wrote:Man I still wish we could see Wheeljack reshelled into a CHUG Lockdown...

It could still happen, though I'd prefer Sunstreaker to be the base mold. I feel like that could have some potential. But as long as he comes with the engine block/EMP Gen, then I'm sold. Especially because the new COMBAT system is 100% a gimmick that Lockdown needs. Hopefully him and Detritus get released in some way. The Merc ranks so far are just the Quints, Allicons, and Doubledealer (who I'm not sure if he counts, but I include him here because of his background)

Skritz wrote:Since we're getting Exhaust does it mean no Slicer? Just wondering.

Slicer might pop up in the main line. It makes sense for him to be the retail redeco and Exhaust to be SELECTS, since SELECTS is aimed at adult collectors who will be less put off by Exhaust's same base color than parents shopping for their kids would be, while Slicer has a markedly different color scheme that would make him immediately stick out as different from Wheeljack.

That make sense and I'm an idiot for forgetting that detail.

tho I'm trying to avoid repaints etc - my Wheeljack was such a lemon, that I Might get exhaust cos I love the transformation etc.

my QC issues involved the head not being able to transform out of the box (had to hack at the thorso with a craft knife till it opened), a bad paint job on the face and now one of the arms just flops out of its socket. Not amused.

New pics showing off the different configurations possible in robot mode.
