Transformers Generations Selects DK3 AKA Blue Diaclone Trailbreaker Possibly Revealed

Dark Knight 3 or Donkey Kong 3: You decide!

Oh sweet, another figure that doubles as a Diaclone Homage AND Shattered Glass character!

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Trailbreaker_(SG)

Hey, Flatline.

I have some saved up for a selects Cyclonus, but I've never used Hasbro Pulse. Do they have shipping for U.S.? I can't seem to find him on any website other than the not sure are trustworthy ones, and TF sites like TF Source. Where do you think I should get my Cyclonus? I don't even want to pay $3 of shipping because I'm a spoiled child.

If I remember correctly, if you want free shipping on Pulse as an American citizen you'll have to pay for a yearly membership. If not, you pay for shipping.

If you're Canadian, order a paperclip or a titan and it's 30$US for shipping either way.

Anyway, if you really want a thing, you'll pay for it with all the fees. If not, skip the thing and use your money for something else. It's that simple.

I though of that. If I skip, I'm picking up a Sweep to satisfy my figure lust and fill the Scourge spot.
The real question is: Is there another site or store I can get a Selects Cyclonus for without charging shipping?

Not without Prime or paying for Premium membership with Hasbro Pulse. Even TF Source has flat rate shipping now, if I recall. That or you have to spend 100 bucks.

Than I'll have to get the old chug one. It's fine, I just wish it had two hands....Can I fix that somehow?

Universe mold Cyclonus vs Combiner wars Cyclonus: Which is better?

Better for what?

Because comparing a standard deluxe figure against a big voyager that is also a combiner torso is like comparing apples and tennis balls.

Good point. As a Cyclonus in general.

I'd say Universe, but he's tiny compared to now on the strength of him only ever having to be Cyclonus and not merge into Grand Guignol or WTF.

CW would be Galvatronus, UW would be Grand Galvatron.

Is there a way to give him a second hand? Cause that's almost a dealbreaker for me.

You mean on the deluxe, making for the left hand to be able to hold something, right?



Simple. DRILL THE HOLE. Start with a very small hole in the center of the hand. Go in a second time with a slightly bigger drill. Then finish with the 11/64 drill.

If you want your "perfect" Transformers, you do the work.

Is just drilling a hole insane enough to work and not make it worse? If it is I have no issues!

Practice first on some scrap transformers and use a standard weapon with a 5mm peg as a gauge.
Look up my customs to see the result of that technique I'm using so often.

Clearer image of DK-3. Really liking how his colors look

Entertainment Earth is setting up their booth at SDCC and we get a better look at that tiny image they leaked the other day showing us the upcoming DK3 which is Diaclone Blue Trailbreaker. This is quite fun for fans who have a Diaclone collection represented by Transformers figures with modern day engineering. And of course, as Transformers toys were repaints of Diaclone toys back in 84 (you can see the original DK3 below), this Diaclone themed toy is a straight redeco of a Transformers toy. We thank TFFanpage101 for the pic.

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

Pre-order NOW! And by now we mean later.

Companies really need to stop throwing the word now around so casually.

Emerje

This could be good, especially since many of us NEVER saw Earthrise Trailbreaker in stores, and it was perpetually sold out on Pulse...

It would be cool if they retooled to have a Diaclone head...though how that would work with Ironhide is beyond me. Just remove the head altogether? Arms wouldn't be in the right place...

Well maybe if you guys didn’t make petty complaints like this you guys could maybe post news like velocitron is up for preorder at pulse and Walmart before they sell out especially since cosmos already is at both

Well damn. Clampdown is sold out too now. I got "Scourge", Override and Road Rocket so far. Road Hauler, Burn Out and Blurr I don't think will sell out anywhere and I can pick them up when I see them or something. I don't think Road Rocket will sell out either but I just wanted to make sure I had her. Shame I want two Clampdown with him being sold out already though, I really want those white hinges for Red Alert. I'm sure I'll find at least one of him in store at some point or doing an online restock.

Popping the Kingdom mold's shoulders off that hinge piece sucks though compared to the Siege mold. What a drag. It'll be worth it though.

C'mon, man. Not a good look.

Anyway, he's right. Cosmos was gone in about 7 minutes. I missed him, too.

Wait, why are we talking about the Legacy Velocitron figures in the Selects topic for Blue Trailbreaker?

Good question.

Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker is now up for preorder on Pulse with I think zero announcement, he just appeared on the front page: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new ... -3-breaker

actually some people, especially with sticker kits, do simply leave the head down behind the windshield.

The non exclusive Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker is now up for preorder on Pulse and every other collectible retailer out there. We have some links below as well as images from his reveal on social media.

Prices vary slightly from one retailer to the next.

Oooops, wrong thread

I feel like I missed something, but if we had DK-2 Guard and now DK-3 Breaker, who was DK-1?

Edit: Oh, I see, the DK Prefixes match the original designations of the Diakron release of Diaclone figures, so DK-1 WOULD be Selects Spin-Out. Wonder why they skipped using it for him?

Gearslide wrote:I feel like I missed something, but if we had DK-2 Guard and now DK-3 Breaker, who was DK-1?

Spin-Out.

He just didn't have the Diakron number in his two-pack release with Cordon.

Gearslide wrote:Edit: Oh, I see, the DK Prefixes match the original designations of the Diakron release of Diaclone figures, so DK-1 WOULD be Selects Spin-Out. Wonder why they skipped using it for him?

Because unlike "Guard" and "Breaker", Spin-Out was made into a TF character years before Selects back when they still actually gave new Diaclone TFs real names. So far the only Diaclone updates that have just been given these lazy droid-like designations have been the ones that have never had TF releases until this year.

ok, so now that DK-3 is official, c'mon Hasbro, DONT let this be the end of the Selects line! There is so much potential left in it...

Good question.

Because Randomhero likes nothing more than coming on here and bitching about the news staff instead of helping us out with tips even when it's off topic.

Breaker looks really nice. I got my preorder in.

My Diaclone squad is going to be so good by the time I'm done with it.

Random digbash.

I thought T-Wrecks was maroon with some silver and blue.

Rodimus Prime wrote:I thought T-Wrecks was maroon with some silver and blue.

It's not exactly his color scheme, but it reminds me of 8t. I beleive the red and green are swapped on the actual t wrecks

I got the SG bug but I wanted my toys to be perfect. So here's SG Ratchet with new feet and Reprolabels. Also, DK-Guard who have been converted into SG Ironhide with Repros and new feet. The are sideways on the bot's shoulders because they priorise the vehicle modes. I had to repaint the windows of the rear of the vehicle (new feet) so that they match their repros. I think I managed well enough.







As for SG Optimus Prime, I gave him the Alternate Universe Optimus Prime (A.K.A Dead Prime) trailer. IMO, it works better than the Nemesis Prime trailer. Furthermore, Nemesis can't lose his trailer while it makes no sense for dead Optimus to have a trailer.

I also bought a trailer upgrade kit for SG Prime. I bought it twice to give one to Nemesis, but it only could work with a severe mod.

The partner of the T30 Gen. Legend Cliffjumper makes for a perfect SG Roller.

Finally some expensive repros on SG Prime and his trailer. Worth it!










It was lots of work to do, but very rewarding IMO.

I think they look great. Those new feet improved the ER van mold 100%. And I always love me some SG Prime. The Thanos of Transformers. Great job

Hey thanks!

I really recommend those feet. They are simple to use and it's the best version to fix that baffling omission for those Siege remolds. They even transform and are fully painted.

I have and like the Siege mold for Ratchet and Ironhide, so won't need the feet. I like the robot mode much better, and for my collection that takes priority over vehicles.

Pulse just charged me for Cyclonus and Nightstick, hopefully I'll have them by this weekend.

Oh, the actual Siege mold needs to keep their OG feet. They just feel out of place on the ER vehicles. Still, those feet don't convey the classic look of the bot mode. Same thing if you color the windows of the rest of the vehicles.

It's all about priorities.

I got a notice from Pulse overnight that I was charged for Cyclonus and Nightstick, so anyone in the US, look out, he's coming on time
