Thanks to a heads up from TF-fan kev777, we have words that the newly revealed Transformers Generations Selects God Neptune set is up for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse for the very reasonable price of $185.99! Hasbro Pulse is advertising the figure as a Pulse Exclusive, which makes sense since the figure in Japan is a TakaraTomyMall exclusive. The price is right around where we anticipated it being ($200ish), so this is good news to all who want to order from Pulse!

We also have word from AllNewSuperRobot that the UK pre-order is live now from In Demand Toys, and is available for £169.99 right now.

The due date for both of these releases is the end of October of this year, so hopefully only a 5 month wait for these splendid new space pirates!

We would also like to pass along, thanks to RiddlerJ, the news that the final 2 Seacon individual releases for King Poseidon are also now in stock and available on Pulse. You can find them at the links below

Tentakil: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/gen ... iranacon-6

Overbite: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/gen ... iranacon-5

Let us know what you think of these pre-orders below, and let us know if you intend to pick up this Beast Wars II Behemoth!

Interesting. I don't have any attachment to these characters in fiction, but I love monster-formers. I pre-ordered God Neptune, but I also have three limbs of King Poseidon. Do I keep my pre-order for God Neptune which is $207 with tax, or do I buy the remaining pieces of King Poseidon, which would be around $140? I would have to pay for the rest of Poseidon now while I can save for Neptune. Decisions, decisions...

I'd preordered/stacked two each of Tentakil and Overbite. Only one Tentakil had been charged so far, at $49.99. I called them and they canceled the ones that hadn't been charged yet, and gave me a credit for the one that had been charged (which I'll easily use) . Basically, if it has been charged, but hasn't been shipped, you CAN cancel, but you'll only receive store credit. They were super easy to work with for me. Ordered my figures off Pulse this morning, and everything's set!

I'm still waiting for TFSource to send me a PayPal notice so I can pay for Overbite. They already had me pay for Tentakil yesterday, but still not Overbite.

Are we sure this is a boxset?

something like the TCC exclusive from a few years ago, with the window? (that's easily my favorite versions of this character, all six G1 molds in an incredibly nice box with great art!)

so probably not THAT nice a box, probably no windows, hopefully some cool art? but 5 in one box for sure?

the recent generations selects Seacons was a huge let down as far as box art goes. if they had just colored the slip cases in then it would have been a great set for display. but the black and white line art was a letdown for me. im happy I have all six figures but Im thinking of letting it go on eBay because they don't display well individually.

So box for sure with this one? hopefully with colored art!

why don't they just include a Lobclaw figure? they already have the mold. they just had to paint it and add it to the set and could have bumped the price up.

Because there is no Lobclaw repaint in BWII.

I still think they'll eventually do a separate release of Red Lobclaw, for the Gimlet lover in BWII.

I'm actually disappointed that God Neptune is coming so soon, since I'm probably going to remain laid off until well after the lockdowns are lifted, and will have to pay secondary market prices for all 6 G1 Seacons later on, and there's no telling where or when those prices will stabilize given more pressing global economic concerns.

It would be cool if we can get a repainted Lobclaw as a standalone exclusive. Like it was said, the mold is already made. Is repainting it not worth the cash it would bring in? Personally, I don't know anything about BW2, but I think that version of the Seacons looks better than the pink and teal.

My TFSource order for the last two shipped out today. It's annoying, but it's only $40 in the grand scheme of things, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I was more afraid of getting stuck paying eBay prices than overpaying at TFSource.

TFSource finally processed my Overbite, so now I've got the last two Seacons paid for. Now all I gotte do is pick out some more stuff from them to get the free shipping on orders over $150.

If they do a Lobclaw repaint down the line, what.if they decided to fully realize their original intent and include some form of Rockbuster as the 7th member

Yes originally God Neptune was going to be a 7 member team with Rockbuster ( a repaint of BW Predacon Razorclaw), but the idea was dropped, and Rockbuster ended up as a maximal in isolation in BW Neo.

It was an early catalogue pic from BWII in 1998, probably several months before the actual God Neptune toy came out. That's 22+ years ago, I couldn't find the pic, even in the wayback machine, but my search skills aren't the greatest. I'd love to see it again, because I cant remember exactly how they thought they were going to make the crab connect. If anyone can find it, I'd be much obliged. I'm many things, but a liar isn't one of them.

Dvandom's website has some old 1998 scans from TV Magazine, but I'm not seeing anything about the Razorclaw mold connecting to the Seacons.

Doing a more thorough search, myself, I just went through my own scans from TV Magazine and Comic Bun Bun that were included with Karyuudo Fansubs's release of BWII, and the only images those magazines show of the Seacon toys feature only the normal five members and no sign of the Razorclaw mold.

I don't think there's anything actually preventing them from making a repainted Lobclaw toy. Just make a comic about how or why it works.

Like with Headmaster Blur or a combining team of Dinobots it's only non canon until it happens.

Of course that's not what happened. Which is also fine.

Depends on how Takara want to do it, they may just want to keep it as the team was in BW2 and not rock the boat too much or they can just throw the reveal of a lobclaw in BW2 colours out later. I'm going to go with the former mind then the later.

Who can say how Takara's thinking goes...

I do not understand you people; after months of complaining last year about how much the king Poseidon set was going to cost for all six figures, now you're complaining about this more budget friendly set not having the sixth figure and jacking up the price :BANG_HEAD:

Ya'll know what the biggest irony is? The storyline of the Selects manga has so far been adding in so much new material to the Japanese G1 lore that they absolutely could find a way to work in a new addition to Halfshell's crew.

And yet, the thing the manga has focused itself on adding to the lore the most has instead been the Primus Vanguard and (as I'm dubbing it until we get a more official name) the primordial universe.

So the "Lobclaw" in the original silhouette teaser was a misidentified Overbite/Seaphantom... Like I said... :WHISTLE:

Speaking of Lobclaw, him missing from the set is accurate to the original BWII set, and with TakaraTomy, accuracy to the source material trumps everything. That's why Henkei Lambor and Alert had the supercharger missing compared to Universe Sideswipe and Gen. Red Alert :lol:

Surprised they went the extra mile with Scylla, new chest and head (possibly gang-molded with Tentakill's) and reusing PotP Moonracer's hands, upper arms, and the whole legs(!).

So after my much lamented kerfuffle and moment of brain damage of cancelling the last two seacons like an idiot, I was thinking: what part of the big weapon does Tentakill give? Was thinking, if all goes wrong I could get Overbite and ditch Tentakill. That would make me lose the 'Targetmaster' option but I'd have a slightly different team with God Neptune, as that one would have Scylla and lack Lobclaw.

And yes, I'm such a sucker for beast modes and combiners that I'm considering God Neptune.

Although, in the cartoon, they treated themselves as an independent faction, much like Insectrons who likewise viewed themselves as neither Maximal nor Predacon (despite their toys being marketed as the former).

Here's the layout of the weapon parts for reference:

Sword
Left and Right Prongs: Seawing/Kraken & Tentakil
Center Prong: Overbite & Skalor/Gulf
Staff Bottom: Nautilator/Lobclaw

The combined gun has no official setup for King Poseidon/Piranacon, but God Neptune has Overbite's to Snaptrap/Turtler's, Seawing/Kraken's bigger gun on top, Tentakil's and Skalor/Gulf's on either side with Seawing/Kraken's smaller guns on the bottom. Seib's concoction comes pretty close actually:

Why is it that guns are so much more flexible than melee when comes to combining them?

God Neptune looks so good, and I am OK with them excluding the 6th member, it makes King Poseidon that much more unique in modern times too.

Also really cool that they retooled Tentakil, they went all out on this mold for both uses!

So finally, King Poseidon is complete, as I imagine most folks who ordered from TF source are getting theirs now at last.

I imagine it will be quite some time before we see packaging for God Neptune. I try not to set my expectations too high, but the fact that this is sold exclusively as a set gives me hopes it would be closer to a UW style box, and not five individual packed toys in the same box (ala Volcanicus in China)

My final two Seacons arrived. Both are very good as individual figures; especially Tentakil. What a bizarre yet immensely well executed reuse of a transformation scheme. The big dude himself is probably my second favorite combiner now only behind Megatronia. He’s precisely the sort of gloriously over the top silly that works in Transformers.

I don't know why, but the idea of Tenatkil's face being upside down just didn't sit well with me, glad I was able to have him face backwards

. Also I was determined to find a way that ol' KP could be holding all his weapons & accessories. Fortunately there's enough 5mm ports to make that happen.

Also I just watched a review from about a year ago featuring a 3P Seacon set (I don't remember the manufacturer...but I think there's currently only one), and although it was bigger and more stable than TT's, the elbow joint still couldn't support a 6th member as a weapon.

Selects King Poseidon is amazing, no doubt, and I am so happy to have it. But I find it ironic that in this age of modern engineering, the only combined form of this character that can support its weapon is the original (and any color variation thereof). :lol:

Considering all the retooling they did do. Putting ratchets on the deluxe knees would have helped. I don’t think there would be space in the hips though.

I know Siebertron himself used a thickening agent. Which is tempting. I just worry that I’d screw something like that up.
