Fans waiting for the final two Seacons to show up on Pulse can rest easy. They are now available on Pulse under the following names:
Takara Tomy Transformers Generations Piranacon 5
Takara Tomy Transformers Generations Piranacon 6
Both are $34.99 USD and will ship out March 28th, 2020
These new Generations Selects Overbite and Tentakil figures are also available for Australians though the EB Games and Zing Website. The price there is $78.00 AUD each ($53.24 USD) with a $10 AUD deposit. As you can see, the prices don't match up at all with what Pulse is charging on their end, which people already find to be excessive.

Ages 3+ are $39.95 each, but I went ahead with them because Chosen Prime was showing sold out and Pulse was dragging their butts.

Even with their 10% cancellation fee, it might be worth it since Hasbro Pulse is more than 10% cheaper and you could get free shipping.

They completely dropped the ball on these 2. I believe the first 2 pairs of seacons each gave about a month, so these likely were supposed to go up pretty soon after they were announced by Takara, but Hasbro was likely distracted by Unicron and NYCC and forgot to put them up.

I’ve been checking Hasbro Pulse daily for the last two or three weeks now, nervous I’d miss those final two figures of the set. Gotta’ love pointless anxiety! I’m really looking forward to this set, especially after adding a comolete set of G1 Seacons to my collection last Christmas. Cheers!

A reasonable theory, but that doesn't make it better.
And I don't think a one-month window of availability is exactly great either.

I can't wait to complete mine. Although that means I need to hurry up with the stop motion story I'm working on. Orthia was attacked by Optimus Primal and lost her arm during the War but in reality Lancer and Primal were tired of Orthia's nagging and wanted to go to a rave hosted by Soundwave. Pulse deliveries are showing up Friday and Monday so maybe I'll get it done over the weekend...

I love how Orthia looks with the feet flipped around like that! I've been putting the black toes forward and using the Prime Armor pieces for heel support instead of the toes. Using them as the toes almost makes the entire leg and foot look like it's one integrated piece. That's a much cleaner look for a combiner.

None of my PotP-footed combiners use the actual feet as the toes, I use all of the prime armor pieces for the toes. It actually makes the feet look larger! That's the one thing I really didn't like about PotP: the feet are too small and very unstable.

I do that for all my PotPie combiners. Not only for looks either, I find it helps a little bit with stability against that forward lean whenever you extend the arms outward.

While WFC Smokescreen is as available as May Mayhem toys of the past in the US, he was sold out rather fast from any retailer who had preorders online in Canada. EBGames only ordered enough to cover preorders, for instance. So I am happy to report that Canadians who didn't get him yet can get him through Toysrus.ca which is becoming the main place to get Transformers Generations Selects toys in the country. He is available right here for $29.99 CAD.

With the final two members of the Transformers Generations Selects Seacon team unveiled recently, it was only a matter of time before we finally saw what the full combiner looked like in its dinal deco. Check out the new images of Piranacon, or King Poseidon as he is known in Japan, below that were posted earlier today on the Transformers Overdrive Facebook page, which we mirrored below for your viewing convenience. You can view images of the other four Seacons who combine with Overbite and Tentakil to form the Decepticon Combiner PIRANACON (aka KING POSEIDON) which were previously revealed here: Snaptrap (Turtler), Skalor (Gulf), Seawing (Kraken), and Nautilator (Lobclaw).

It could work as God Neptune, the pirates from Beast Wars 2, however they might have one big problem: Nautilator was missing from the group. Only big concern.
I just noticed that Snaptrap's combined mode legs for his torso mode look to be the same as Combiner Wars Silverbolt, just remolded a bit.

There are five limbs as it is now, with the one that doesn't get to be an arm or a leg used as a large weapon in combined mode. Reducing the group to four limbs and a torso would make it just like any other Scramble City combiner style team. I don't see the issue, honestly.
That's because Snaptrap is a retool of PotP Hun-Gurrr, who is himself either a heavy retool of CW Silverbolt OR a case of shared engineering.

It is a Takara exclusive, similar to how the Legends LG-EX ones were, except Hasbro Pulse is now an official outlet for them. This means Takara developed it on their own and get to set the pricing. Hasbro Pulse is really just being an outlet in the US for them. Also, the "set" from a purchasing standpoint is 6 individual releases which will come out in pairs with each pair about a month apart.
If you haven't jumped on them already, it is already too late to order the first 4 bots from Hasbro Pulse, and you will need to go with TFSource or another online retailer at a slightly higher price.

What I was more suprised about was the fact the weapon limb was connected to the back of the hand.
Also I thought it was common knowledge that turtler was a retool? All the limbs are retools (extensive ones at that) it's not a bad thing. Now let's see the God Neptune repaint.

The individual figures don't do much for me, but the combined Fishacon is pretty cool looking. Going be fun to watch from the side lines. All the limb bots can become a weapon correct? So that's five modes a piece, amazing

What's being referred to is how, when POTP Hungrrr was revealed, a ton of people thought he was a retool of Silverbolt when in reality he just shares engineering about it. There was entirely too much talk on the subject, and now this mold, based on Hungrrr, has the chance to spark the same stupid argument again.

Turtler shares these parts with Hun-Gurrr:
- arms
- upper legs
And that's it, really, the core body is totally redone. And that's all people should care about: not whether or not something's a retool, but what parts are shared with who. By the by, when taken as percentages, Tentakil comes closest to Turtler with the amount of parts changed, with him retaining Moonracer/Firestar's core body instead.
Indeed, all Seacons come with both their own guns, and a melee weapon from the trident, like Victorion's sword. The breakdown:
- main body: Turtler's sword
- staff: Lobclaw's axe
- left and right prongs: Kraken's and Tentakil's blades
- center prong: Gulf's and Overbite's swords

I don't think it's just the pictures. It looks to me like all six seacons' individual melee weapons combine to form a trident for the big guy, which is pretty nifty.
Indeed, all Seacons come with both their own guns, and a melee weapon from the trident, like Victorion's sword. The breakdown:
- main body: Turtler's sword
- staff: Lobclaw's axe
- left and right prongs: Kraken's and Tentakil's blades
- center prong: Gulf's and Overbite's swords

I know everyone is excited about King Poseidon but I'm just happy I have all the Praxians together. Selects Smokescreen just showed up and joined Siege Prowl, 35th Anniversary Bluestreak, and Siege Barricade. I really wish Hasbro would sell a pack of blast effects...

It still bugs me that Seawing's beast mode legs are on backwards...

Think of it as the toes and heels switching function
It's not a misassembly, rather it's a consequence of reorienting the base Cutthroat body while keeping the beast mode leg assembly as is. In fact, compared to Cutthroat, Kraken's waist is turned 180 in Beast Mode to acommodate the new tail.

Am I the only one here who thinks they'll just repaint Lobclaw red and call him Gimlet?
He'd be somewhat extraneous to God Neptune, but interesting to swap into the BotCon Predacus set.

There are five limbs as it is now, with the one that doesn't get to be an arm or a leg used as a large weapon in combined mode. Reducing the group to four limbs and a torso would make it just like any other Scramble City combiner style team. I don't see the issue, honestly.

Interesting idea, but that's more Hasbro's MO for not wasting resources. TakaraTomy has no problem leaving out (gang-molded) parts of a set if it means making a more accurate product. Heck, God Neptune would only have the trident for a weapon! That does mean the individual pirates would get weapons this time around.

So.... I was playing around Smokescreen today and noticed he got a gnarly scar from somewhere. Looks too deep to be caused from play.... anyone else got any defects in Select runs?
On one hand.... it’s kinda cool.... (wish it was on my Barricade though).

My best guess is that it's an air bubble from the molding procedure. I don't see any flash or cutting marks on him, it's all smooth.

So, if I missed the 8 day window on Hasbro Pulse, am I screwed out of getting these last two figures?

Got tired of refreshing pulse every day to see if Lancer and Smokescreen were back in stock and ordered them from BBTS. Not sure why but it irritated me having to do that.

Probably your best bet. I'm surprised Lancer came back to Pulse to begin with, that's a first for the selects

Question for those who got him: Is it worth it to get Selects Hot Shot if I already own the original? He is still in stock at pulse and looks good, but I'm not sure if I should leap on him

The original Hound? Yes, because the colors make the figure look different. The original Cybertron Defense Hot Shot? Nope, the newer figure possesses none of the gimmicks the original toy had that made it a fantastic figure.
