Many of you have sent us the review to the newly revealed Generations Selects Black Roritchi from Emgo. You can watch it below. This release is of course extreamly interesting to fans since the existence of this figure hints at the fact that we could get a black redeco of Titan Scorponok, which Roritchi would go with.
You can get this figure right now, we posted that a little earlier today. Let us know if you are getting it and if you have the room for an extra Titan if ever that does happen.

We could also use a nice recolor of Grand Maximus' Cog, maybe with the incentive Pretender Shell/Decoy Armor for the Gran(d) Headmaster unit that never got produced for the Transformers Legends figure.

That would be great. Until then Aragon is my stand-in for Grand Max's Cog.

Well, I'm using my Aragon as...Aragon. I don't want to have to buy another 3-pack just to have a stand-in Cog for Grand Maximus along with another "Invisible" Mirage and Decepticon Impactor. :lol:

One of the people that edited the TFWiki article (and has since been removed) claimed it was gold plastic covered in gold paint. :lol: That article did originally make a good point that it's probably the same gold plastic used on CW G2 Slingshot. Can't imagine them coating the entire figure in paint, seems unlikely.

Has Gold Plastic Syndrome even been a problem with toys manufactured in the past 20 years!? I think Hasbro and Takara Tomy learned there lessons on that before the turn of the millennium. Every time gold colored plastic pops up now, people recoil in horror. Has GPS just traumatized that many people? It's okay! It can't hurt you now!

I can only think of one singular recent instance of gold plastic getting used that didn't cause a panic: ER Sky Lynx. You'd think if it was that much of a concern, people would have freaked out about it's presence on an $80 figure rather than this repaint fellow.

And speaking of Sky Lynx, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing one of the TFW leakers/factory guys say Roritchi's plastic is the exact same as Sky Lynx's lynx head while I was observing the Kingdom leaks, so unless someone's Sky Lynx has had it's jaw explode or disintegrate or something, Roritchi should be fine.

It may not be traumatic but when you have an extensive collection of figures 30+ years old and you go to move them for whatever reason and they crumble to pieces in your hands, then yes, it's frustrating, given that finding a replacement will not be easy to come by.

There is no gold plastic on Sky Lynx, it's all paint. If you look in the gap behind the Lynx head you can see where they couldn't get paint in around the sides of the joint socket, it's white plastic.

As for GPS being gone, every time we think that, it ends up rearing it's ugly head again. The most recent case I can find is really Silver Plastic Syndrome, apparently Unite Warrior Motormaster likes to snap in half thanks to his swirly silver plastic.

And most likely it's a waste of time since the replacement is just as likely to fall apart on you eventually to. I saw a Japanese G2 Electro on Mandarake a few years ago for under $20 that was really tempting, but I didn't expect it to survive shipping overseas. They've also listed US and EU versions for under $30 MOC, but still doesn't seem worth the annoyance.

I experienced GPS live. Once because I was a dumb-ass with my Pretender Roadblock (duuurrr, let's put the gun into his tiny gold hand!) but the other was a surprise. I transformed normally my X-Over Millenium Falcon. When I was at the Chewbaca part, he ASSPLODED. :(

Happened to me with T30 rattrap and tm megs, it was very traumatizing to me as a child as megs was not only my favorite bw fig, but also a gift for my birthday

That one was a terrible double whammy combining questionable plastic and misassembled pelvis joints. Hard to say if the plastic would have held up or not, seems like ones that were assembled correctly or repaired ahead of breaking are holding up, but time will tell.

My first experience with GPS was BW Grimlock from '97. But it didn't break years later, it was the very next year in '98! Chunks popped out of his lower legs like puzzle pieces. GPS wasn't really a term at the time so I had no idea what was going on. Years later, in fact only two or three years ago, it was Magnaboss Silverbolt that crumbled on me when combining them. I thought I was being so careful, too. Never should have tempted fate. I'm afraid to handle my favorite BW figure, Torca, for fear of him disintegrating in my hands. Same with one of my favorite Beast Machines figures, Snarl (really wish I bought the black repaint).

My only experience with GPS was G2 Slingshot. I bought him brand new I was 16/17 at the time and wanted to get as many of the combiners as I could because I missed out on the originals. I transformed him twice and he crumbled, I don't know why I never thought to purchase another (probably a good thing I didn't but...)

In any case, yes with modern materials, this should not be an issue, as stated by emgo, (and you can see in his video) Roritchi looks stable, just suffers from a new problem RFS (Repaint Floppiness Syndrome)

...okay, well I don't actually have Sky Lynx, so I didn't realize it was painted. :oops:

Hopefully that means the same thing of Roritchi though, for those getting him.

As stated before, GPS can be devastating once you notice one of your figures has it, but current cases have been few and far between. Plus, it's mostly limited to just parts instead of the whole figure (G2 Slingshot and BW Neo Randy come to mind).

The youngest confirmed case is Unite Warriors Motormaster from 2015, followed by RotF Stratosphere from 2009, then Protoform Starscream from 2007, SW TF Millenium Falcon and General Grievous from 2006, and Cybertron Repugnus and BW 10th Anniversary Dinobot from 2005.

Current "Gold Plastic" is actually a flat color or matte, no metallic flake that's the root cause of the breakage.

Yeah, we might want to tighten up what we call "gold plastic syndrome" just a bit. ;)
It seems like people are blaming it for any sort of plastic rot or breakage they experience. GPS was a pretty specific issue with a pretty specific color and treatment of plastic back in the days that has ruined most afflicted toys of that era forever. Nowadays, it can be because of other materials used, like 2007 Movie Legends Scorponok's rubbery tail, or factory misassemblies, like Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron, or just poor quality production runs or one-off errors that a figure fails and breaks.

As for "repaint floppiness syndrome," I hear this so often touted as "mold degradation," when it's probably nothing of the sort. I've seen people complaining that the second use of a mold, which is likely the first repaint in the same line, already allegedly has degradation or floppiness. Just as often, though, the second use of a mold can be even tighter in the joints than the first. The real variable at play is what plastic is used, which changes the tolerances for all the joints in the figure. A different color of plastic may be softer, firmer, or expand differently at certain temperatures than those used for the initial run of a figure. It can even be the case of different runs of the same figure. Sometimes, the plastic used is just a bit different in terms of its chemical make-up and mixture, and that can make all the difference between a loose and a tight fitting ball-in-socket, pinned, or friction joint in plastics.
Re: Video Review for Generations Selects Black Roritchi (2077822)
Posted by Sabrblade on August 26th, 2020 @ 10:55pm CDT
In some cases, mold degradation can occur not specifically from multiple frequent reuses of a single mold (e.g. - the exhausting amount of the Classics Seeker mold's reuses), but also from simply the second or third use of a very old mold that hasn't been used in a long time.

Case in point, the Generation 2 Hero Optimus Prime and Hero Megatron molds first saw use in 1994. They were going to get redecos in the next year or so as Combat Heroes, but those never got past the packaged sample stage. Years later in 2003, both of those molds saw their second ever release at retail after nine years of inactivity for either mold, in which they were released as KB Toys exclusives in the waning 2001 Robots in Disguise line as the Destructicons Scourge and Bludgeon.

And when these second uses of the molds happened, both Scourge and Bludgeon proved to be very floppy and loose (e.g. - Scourge's left hand slides in and out of his arm freely instead of staying put, while Bludgeon's torso is all loosey goosey by always folding up and down too easily instead of staying in place in robot mode) when compared to their original releases, and these were only the molds' second uses, but came nine years after their first uses.
Re: Video Review for Generations Selects Black Roritchi (2077826)
Posted by Wolfman Jake on August 26th, 2020 @ 11:51pm CDT
That may be true, but it's not quite what I'm talking about. I'm focusing more on same-line repaints, like Earthrise Prowl and Bluestreak, or PotP Jazz and Ricochet. It wasn't years in between that those molds got used to make multiple different characters. I wonder, though, how much the mold creating technique and technology has changed since G1/G2. Maybe more modern molds keep better over time? Maybe they stand up better to repeated uses? There's so many variables at play, and we rarely get an in-depth explanation of how the toy manufacturing process works and the history of it all.

At least with him, the 40$ of shipping will be justified. Seriously, it cost the same to ship a single deluxe as a titan for fox's sake.

Yeah, I'm a bit salty for having to pay over 80$CAN for the Centurion set.

I really don't think he is though. We have only had 2 Titans redecoed over the years, SDCC Devy and Takara's Grand Max. Grand didn't bomb per se, but his pre-orders did not even meet the second stretch goal so I would be shocked if they are not at least a little weary on gambling on a redeco of a Titan again.

If anyone was gonna do Black Zarak, it would be Takara Tomy eith Pulse carrying dtock for it, because the character was a Japan G1 original and the rest of us are only familiar with him second hand. And maybe they will do it, because he was significant to one of their shows, but if they don't I wouldnt be surprised.

I'd say though there is as good or a greater chance that Hasbro simply said "Well, who can we repaint Fasttrak into?" "Well, there's this gold army builder guy from Japan."

Regardless, Grand Maximus is a "nobody" while Black Zarak is a main villain. Also, TR Fortnax is a disappointing mold while the Scorponok mold is stellar. Plus, Roritchi.

Chances for a Select Black Zarak are pretty high I say.

Posted by o.supreme on August 27th, 2020 @ 10:32am CDT
I definitely would like to have a Black Zarak, most likely as a TT Selects, however the rest is opinion. Grand Max and Black Zarak are basically rivals. It's just that in the Masterforce Anime, they had to promote Ginrai as the Human hero, for "reasons". My favorite episodes of that series are 26 & 27, which is basically a tag-team match on the moon between Overlord/Black Zarak & God Ginrai/Grand Max. Grand Max was easily BZ's equal (since he was just Scorponok with a new body), it wasn't until he was possessed by Devil Z on Earth that he got ultra powerful and only Ginrai was able to defeat him.

I'm not going to debate the overall "whos more popular BZ or Grand Max" because it's pretty moot, but I'm just saying Grand Max isn't a "nobody" that's for sure ;).

If you want to talk about nobody's and wasted potential, Galaxy Shuttle comes to mind.

I'm still hoping we get that set. Maybe not as a titan, but maybe as individual Voyager releases sort of like SS Devastator or Piranacon, with maybe the Long Haul mold (can't remember which he was supposed to be) being a leader price point and he comes with the combined mode extras?. Although, if they ever release it, I hope it's the UW version where all the individual figures had their guns, as well as elbows and knees

Well he is big, but he's a wimp, and is basically an AI.

I've got an interesting guess for the next two Selects figures to be revealed. What if we're getting more Turbomasters, like Rotorstorm? Boss from Earthrise Wheeljack? Flash from Earthrise Smokescreen or Bluestreak? I don't think either of those is too much of a stretch, especially given how many liberties with Rotorstorm's original G1 design have been taken by making him out of the Siege Spinister mold.

Scorch from Hoist/Trailbreaker would also work really well, but at the same time, I don't expect to see any more Turbomasters until Thunderclash shows up at some point, considering him and Rotorstorm are the only two Turbomasters that have any notable media usage and the others are more obscure than most of the Selects so far (although to be fair, Selects has ranged in obscurity from Smokescreen to a Seeker repaint who's existence is as convoluted as a Mortal Kombat ninja, so I guess no one's really off the table).

Right before the major Kingdom leaks started hitting this week, I believe I saw some of the credible TFW leakers were mentioning Spin-Out and Cordon floating around somewhere, so maybe one of them is one of the reveals? I highly doubt it would be both of them, two of the same mold back to back would be weird and unprecedented. Then again, those same leakers were disagreeing about how Ratchet and Lifeline were coming and I don't think any of them actually got it right, so who knows what's actually accurate anymore.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to the detective efforts of fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane-, it's been brought to our attention that Takara Tomy have released a new in hand image of the imminent Transformers Generations Selects Super Megatron via their Twitter account!

Also through the images we get a nice view of the package thT Super Megatron will arrive in to those that have preordered him.

Here is a machine translation of the accompanying tweet:

Takara Tomy wrote:Additional Information! /
To be delivered at the end of next month
â– GENERATION SELECTS Super Megatron
We publish the final sample and package!
Those who have booked Please look forward to the next month!"


Super Megatron is a heavy retool of the Titans Returns Galvatron mold, able to transform from Super Megatron to Ultra Megatron, and again through the use of a different face, Ultra Megatron Omega (whose face is a homage to Megatron's appearance in the Transformers The Last Knight live action movie.

Have you preordered Super Megatron? Are you looking forward to his arrival? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Pre-ordered mine back in April. I'm really excited for this figure, I've been planning on making him my primary Megatron figure in my collection.

Given how it splits open, it's probably a lot lighter than it looks. Might weigh a tad bit more than TR Galvatron's cannon is my best bet.

Unless they have redone that particular pair of joints, don't count on it too much. The shoulder itself houses a soft ratchet, but the connection to the body is a simple mushroom peg on TR Galvatron:

And yet that's still not the most modes a single Megatron figure has had.
