I am sorely tempted to get 2 of Tentakill to have one by himself.
Here's hoping for a God Neptune!!!

And Tentakil sharing the same engineering as Moonracer is freaking amazing. This is some TR A3/Broadside stuff, man.

This video review covers the new selects toy, which is a retooling of the Power of the Primes Optimus Prime mold. The inner robot mode is now based on his G1 Action Master toy, complete with yellow eyes and all, while the outer robot is a modified version of the original Star Convoy design. The alt mode is identical tooling wise to the original molding. The review also shows a comparison to the Siege Optimus Prime figure.
You can check out the video review below, and stay tuned, as Star Convoy is due out in approximately 1 months time!

Wow, okay. I thought she might have had a different head or something. Guess I was wrong!

These new images give us a nice clear look at these 2 new Selects releases. Hot Shot is a new head retool of the Wave 1 Hound figure, and is based on his Cybertron Defense body from Transformers Cybertron. Cromar is a new head retool of the Wave 2 Sixgun figure, and is the final of the 3 Powerdashers to receive official images.
Both of these figures will be available from the Entertainment Earth booth during New York Comic Con this coming weekend, and will presumably go up for sale following the Con as well.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

Better by far. So is Star Convoy delayed overall or just from BBTS.

IDK, I like the overall design of the original toy for Cybertron Defense Hot Shot, but it was nowhere near as poseable as this new one is. Best of both worlds we'd get an update directly of the original design with modern articulation and engineering, but for now I'll happily take this new one.

The original had missiles ontop of missiles, no need to do yoga.

They're getting them from Hasbro and Hasbro says they've been delayed to November.

I wonder if that was a mistake financially...will the whole set demand a higher price on the aftermarket, or will they be released as a set as well, perhaps as a redeco, like the G2 versions of the other combiners were?
Like most Combiners you're probably better off buying ASAP because these aren't likely to become cheaper. It's doubtful that a box set is coming later for this team though I wouldn't rule one out for the potential God Neptune team.

Yeah, but I guess I just personally need at least a certain baseline amount of articulation to get a figure, and the original CD Hot Shot does not do it for me (and I say that as someone who has the figure).

Then I guess you will be ignoring this line altogether since Selects is nothing but redecos and retools, being the spiritual successor to the BotCon/TCC exclusives.DMSL wrote:Not interested in Hot Shot or Cromar, just boring repaints/retools.

I'm hoping TFsource puts up a pre-order for the last 2. I have the previous 4 on pre-order, and I'd like to get all 6 at the same time.
Plus, in my recent experiences, Pulse is a joke. I'd rather not try to deal with it for these

I just placed an order for Lancer from Action Robo, and based on my previous order of Red Wing from them, I should probably have her in about seven or eight days if this order ships as quick as Red Wing did.o.supreme wrote:ok so many sites now have preorders for Hotshot and Cromar. BBTS says estimated arrival as Q4 2020...??? So EE has these at the Convention NOW, but BBTS wont have them for another year??? I'm hoping that was a typo. Would be nice to get Lancer and Cromar together in the same shipment in December.

And now Pulse has Hotshot in stock along with Cromar. I just cancelled my pre-order with EE and went Pulse since I have premium.

I'm assuming they are going for the cash. It would make zero sense for Hasbro Pulse to not carry these. I think TFSource just wanted to get the jump on the other sites.

Not sure yet. If there are more orders put up, they probably won't be until after the actual release dates

The only difference is the deco with a new head, which is standard for the Generations Selects line as it is made to replace the Collector's Club which also had similar constraints (leaving new molds for the main line). That head though, is something else. It has a Gobot like aestehtic, looking almost like a clown. You can see a detailed shot below. The paint on that headsculpt is well handled and quite detailed.
He does look plain at first, similar to Sixgun. However, there are some subtle paint apps and there is even some large painted areas, but the result still looks (intentionally?) basic. He has darker paint highlights, which are as subtle in real life as they are on camera. You can find those on the gun tips, feet and on the protruding knee details. His main torso and pelvis pieces are actually fully painted in black over red plastic (due to those parts being on red sprues). So a lot of paint is given there.
I really love the silver paint used for details on the figure against the black. The sculpted details just pop so much more than on Sixgun where those same parts were painted black instead.
As with Sixgun, the legs come off rather easily but he can still hold a pose without a problem. Every other part is solid. Also, yes I did reverse the box in the images for the alternate design.
