Man these colors look a LOT better.

Than the original Seacons, or the initial photos?

Initial render were very chalky and ugly but seeing it now, God Neptune's white color is a lot more pleasing than those early renders, which looked all discolored and fugly.

Overall this is a great looking figure, but those are some skinny thighs...

Am I the only one who thinks the colours are exactly the same as the previous photos?

No, I don't see much if any difference, but that's okay, if people like the set more for these new photo's, then that's all that matters

Oh definitely More just highlighting my confusion If I could afford it, I'd jump on this set.

The whites in earlier photos looked more like siege apeface white plastic to me... But my glasses might have needed a clean.

Actually I think it might be the backgrounds used for each set of photos that is playing the tricks on our eyes. The first set of photos use a stark white background while the second set has a more off-white or shadowy background.

At a first quick glance, to me they did look different, but if I really focus and look at just the white parts in each photo they look the same.

Sometimes, different lighting is all it takes for a figure to look more/less flattering. Sometimes you get something which looks hideously neon or discolored in renders or stock photo but then you hold it in your hands or see it in a different lighting set up and go 'huh this is actually not bad at all'.

Yeah, it's kind of growing on me, but I'd still prefer the six-member G1 Seacon team. Now I'm really starting to regret waiting, because all the major retailers are out of stock...

More from God Neptune with Lio Convoy DVD version from Robotmasters, thanks to the Transformers Japan on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/TF_pr/status/1268387281548673026

The Deluxe size of the Lio Convoy works best with the Combiner.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian RacerCheetor and the Takara Twitter page, we have even more images to share with you today of the highly anticipated Generations Selects God Neptune.

These new images show us the new combiner with the Robotmasters Lio Convoy, who himself was deluxe sized. Compared to the previous images with the masterpiece Lio Convoy, the Robotmasters Lio Convoy scales a whole lot better, and it gets really entertaining since God Neptune can totally pick Lio up and swoosh him around. Robotmasters Lio will definitely work well with the new Generations God Neptune.

God Neptune is currently up for widespread pre-order for around $185 USD, and is expected to arrive in mid October of this year. He is a repaint/retool of the recently completed King Poseidon minus Lobclaw and with the addition of some new tooling for Scylla.

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

As someone who has owned almost every Combiner Wars figure et al. including Piranacon, I am EXTREMELY skeptical that those combined-mode shoulders are that strong.

Maybe Takara used Ryan's trick on the shoulders

We thank Wireless_Phantom for letting us know of a post on Twitter from ARCTIC_ST0RM who posted a photo of two yellow Transformers using the Earthrise Cliffjumper mold. The one face up has the Hubcap headsculpt. There was a rumour for Hubcap (and Bumblebee) and this seems to be the it. This toy should end up being relreased thorugh the Generations selects line, which has been non exclusive for the most part (meaning several retailers sell these toys online). For those wondering who Hupcap is, this was a G1 toy that was also a yellow redeco of Cliffjumper with a new head (and no spoiler in the back). We included some images of Hubcap below if you want to see more of that odd and confusing G1 toy.

Now to settle the question of if the bot lying face down is hubcap, or bee himself. The head looks like it has tiny horns

Poor old Hubcap. Always the forgotten Minibot. Even Wheelie gets more love!

ThT is 100% Hubby. You are seeing his headcrest.

I'm not sure the head crest would look like that from behind.. But we'll find out in good time.

Well no, because he is the only one left of the G1 Minibots. Picked from the line last

I've finally complete Piranacon/King Poseidon. Sadly still can't ship it yet but oh well. The seafood special is finished at last!

Sure would be nice if these were stolen from factories by actual Transformers fans that know how to take good photos and not by people that are just trying to flip these for a quick buck from minimum effort.

Last week, I finally shipped my last two Seacons from TFSource, along with a Legends Blue Big Convoy and an Earthrise Smashdown to get the free shipping.

After having finally opened all six of my Seacons both last night and night before last, I've now completed putting together my King Poseidon today. And boy is he a beast!

I managed to get him in a standing pose while holding all three of his main weapons: His combined sword, his combined gun, and Overbite in gun mode. With Overbite connected to his right fist, I put the sword in the same hand while his combined gun is held in his left hand.

This Selects combiner just feels so much more massive and heftier than most other CW/UW/Potpie-styled combiners that the higher price seems all the more warranted. So many accessories, so much bulk, this guy is CHUNKY!

One more image of God Neptune from the Transformers Twitter in Japan.

The Legends comics might be pure fanfic-grade insanity but there is no denying that the Super/Ultra Megatron is definitely one of the dopest design out there and every time I see pics of it I'm reminded of this fact and how much of a good pick that mold was, once properly retooled. TR Galvatron was a cruelly underrated mold which got a lot of flak due to its poorly implemented headmaster integration and the flip out mask (especially as later TR offering showed a better helmet setup). That much is true. However I do think it has a certain super robot esthetic to it that Super Megatron help bring to the table and his nonsense power up and kibble variations are just icing on an already cool cake.

Sure he's not for everyone, especially if you're someone who dislike 'cybertronian' modes. But me? He hits all the right buttons and I suspect the only thing I will hate about him is that QC or mold degradation might cause some floppy legs. Or not, given the TR mold was only used for Galvatron previously.

Now Bumble Jumper is the poor forgotten minibot...
Although in Gen 2 they released Hubcap in Red instead of Cliff Jumper.

Bumper (aka "Bumblejumper") wasn't even acknowledged until the Dreamwave Comics... In the US that is. In Brazil, he was a confirmed release, so...

Ironically, I'll probably get Hubcap before I get Cliffjumper or Bumblebee since I'm pretty satisfied with the versions I already have.

Gotta say, all the pics of Super Megatron convinced me to preorder him. Still may change my mind, though. He does seem pretty sweet.

I didn't know where to direct this question but what from Transformers are expected from SDCC 2020? If it was already announced I clearly missed it. BBTS has been posting more SDCC items in the past days so I was curious. Sorry again if this as already announced!

SDCC was canceled before any exclusives were announced, but we suspect that that grey ER "Sleep Mode" Optimus Prime was one of them.

If it truly was... pretty ironic if you think about it

Indeed....thanks JelZe!

SDCC is continuing in a fashion of sorts, by inviting fans to go online during the previously scheduled dates as many panels will be streamed live online. Whether or not Hasbro plans to have a panel for this event is unknown at this time. I'm sure there will be some SDCC exclusive toys, but they also are TBD. The sleep mode Optimus is a good guess, but as for the rest, it hasn't been revealed yet.

So what do you guys think? Will we see any SDCC exclusive and will they be released online?

I thought leaks said we were supposed to get a GI Joe/Transformers set of some kind for SDCC, and Dead Prime was supposed to be an Amazon exclusive?

I think the classified series snake eyes that was sold on pulse was going to be a SDCC exclusive.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I think the classified series snake eyes that was sold on pulse was going to be a SDCC exclusive.

Nah, that was up for sale before anyone was remotely sure about SDCC being cancelled. I think the brighter-blue-and-more-gold variant of the Cobra Commander they just revealed as a "TheNTWRK" exclusive was gonna be the Joe SDCC exclusive.

I won this guy is a free spin game in a gaming Facebook page, super stoked to have a Seacon! He'll stand separate from my other 6 seacons once they arrive, he's gonna be my Battle Core Prime's buddy. and he'll be the start of a team built up from exclusive figures to form a sweet Prime combiner. Not sure when I'll finish the team, but they'll all be harder to find figures, and preferably ones that cover the 4 factions.

But, for now, it's awesome to have a seacon, to win a game, and have a Savage Sharkclaw mode!

As for Overbite himself, he's a pretty cool. He is a good retool of Rippersnapper, and the walking shark mode is pretty neat. I love the colors on him, and the amount of accessories is cool. He feels much more premium than other combiner limbs of late, and the hand that he comes with is also really good. Overall nothing really to complain about!

Shame we don't have a deluxe CW compatible lion. Then we could see a modern Leobreaker.
SAVAGE CLAW MODE!!!

I've always loved this configuration for Prime. I wish the slot was a little farther back, it would look more natural, but it still works, and gives us a great look at what a modern Savage Claw mode could be!

Greetings Seibertronians! The folks over at the Autobase Aichi Blog have posted several images of interest over on their twitter feed. These are new images of the forthcoming Generations Selects figure, Hubcap! We got a glimpse of Hubcap a few weeks ago but these images give us a much better look at him.













That's not all though, as these images were taken from a brand new video review of Hubcap! The reviewer was Jon Toys Reviews on YouTube and we've included the review for you below to check out.



Hubcap is a new redeco of Earthrise Cliffjumper sporting a new head.

Will this be your first chance at the Cliffjumper mold? Has Cliffjumper made such an impact on you that you want to track down Hubcap? Or are you just wanting a new representation of this old minibot? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Still a bit shocked this isn't Bumblebee...but Hubcap.

Hubcap actually looks better than I expected him to. The initial leak made me think the yellows would be way too different, but it looks like they've done a better job than I thought

If find it interesting that they are using part of Brunt for the gun, I wonder if any other grey pieces of him will show up elsewhere.

Hubcap was my first TF and and new version would be cool. But I'll probably pass sinc eit is likely they will charge Deluxe Selects money for a scout class

Something's throwing me off about Hubcap's head. It almost looks like it's 3d printed. Hopefully this means we'll be getting more minibots.

Skritz wrote:Still a bit shocked this isn't Bumblebee...but Hubcap.

We've known all along that hasbro wasn't gonna use the same exact mold for both Bee and Cliff, they said that when Cliff was first revealed.

I really like his head! I wasn't planning on picking up another version of this mold, though I love Cliffjumper. This has me reconsidering.
