    Notice that the line is In-deed named just "selects" and does not have the power of the primes tag with it. So Seibertron most likely got their Info right and hopefully Voyager "selects" Combat hero g2 Arctic Cameo Megatron is coming as well.

    WOOH! Made an account just to put an order in! These look AWESOME! It’s really great to have another line that can give us those obscure repaints Hasbro might be too timid to do at retail as well!

    Okay, so do you know if this is EE exclusive or will other e-tailers be getting it?

    looks like we truly do have a new successor to the tail end of rid01/universe1.0 on our hands. wonder if this is what plans for the club 2.0 ended up evolving into

    midtown comics has had these on their site for awhile so they're not EE exclusive

    i'm excited for what they can do with this.hope they can do 8-12 figures a year.

    Wonder if HTS and Amazon will carry?

    Can we run through the Diaclone releases here?
    Clampdown, Tigertrack, Deep Cover, Hauler, Blue Bluestreak from the Uni2.0 mold (probably be the Siege mold but one can dream) Red or Police Sunstreaker...

    All I was told that they we're to be sold through specialty outlets such as EE, Diamond, etc. and they would not be offered through normal retail (online only). I was also Given info that the line would Focus on "premium Paintjobs and special Packaging". So yes I would say their is a chance they pop up at the likes of places Like Tfsource, BBTS, etc.

    Ricochet looks amazing. Bit it also looks like the roof and chest are still clear plastic painted, so he will crack like a cheap ruler. That blows. I bet he would look cool with some of the upcoming Battlmasters — Firedrive would be a good match.

    Those look good. Though I wonder if they'll be released elsewhere up here. TRU and EB Games have gotten a lot of EE exclusives.

    Okay, so if this is gonna be "Generations Selects" or "Generations: Select Series" should we go with "GSS" or "GS" as an abbreviation considering "SS" is already taken by Studio Series?

    I definitely will be getting Stepper, but Red Swoop is a pass for me, since he looks too similar to the one on my shelf. I was kinda hoping for the alternate head and some more toy detail tampos.

    I would say GS personally if we are going for an abbreviation or just dubbing the figure for the appropriate line like GS ricochet or POTP ricochet are both acceptable in my opinion


    i hope we get an artfire from potp inferno to go with ricochet

    Definitely gonna have to think on that Ricochet. It's pretty tempting.

    I don't have any intention on getting these, but I am happy see they are running deluxe retail pricing (well, post POTP deluxe pricing).

    A new head and some reprolabels and we’d basically have Classics Jackpot. Very nice.
