Good...

*Beast Wars theme plays in the distance*

 

I know that all signs point to the ‘86 character not being Scourge, but it would be really nice if it was. He and Hot Rod were done dirty by Titans Return. Plus, it would increase the likelihood of us finally getting a Fracas that isn’t just a crap redeco.

 

Are you going off some kind of source or is this just a hunch?

 

The idea of the omega supreme style backstory would fit very well, I kind of love the idea. The only thing is Hasbro has been super accurate recently so the ark might be out unless they made a g1 version of the Arclight since that kind of looks like his alternate mode

 

Wasn't there a rumour about the Titans Return Galvatron mold being reused somewhere? Super Megatron or something?

 

Not a rumor, it’s a Takara generations selects figure

 

We've seen a silhouette of super megatron and pictures should go up as soon as takara and hasbro pulse list it for pre-order

 

Speaking of which....where are those Super Megatron pics TakTom?!?

 

Probably in the same place they’re keeping Armada OP.  

 

My speculation on the pack from most to least likely

Decepticon platinum 86 pack
TR galvatron in grey
Takara style cw cyclonus
TR scourge using takara sweep titan master head
Battlemaster fracas
Micromaster plane as cyclonus's armada

Quintesson pack
Overcharge fromTR blitzing or from a new blitzwing mould
Alicon from TR skullcruncher
Legends gnaw as sharkticon
Smash down as a humanoid quint
New quint battlemaster mould

Junkions
Nancy from elita one
Detritus from siege hound
Legends wreck gar from CW
A junkion repaint of the micromaster truck
Junkion themed battlemaster

 

The thing is, those are all kind of unlikely because they involve past molds of pre WFC, so those would only work if they were to be at a convention

 

Generations selects (and wfc store exclusives) has used pre wfc figures, so as unlikely as it may be, it’s still a possibility. Greenlight, lancer, ricochet and red swoop were all power of the primes molds/remolds

 

I would honestly love a new Cyclonus and Scourge that look like they jumped right out if the '86 movie. Takara Cyclonus and Headmaster Scourge were kinda close but not quite there.

 

The last platinum autobot pack was all older moulds and so were the junk planet and cyclonus armada pack

 

But these new packs are mainline, not platinum edition right? So why are people comparing them to platinum edition(which is more or less a dead line)?

 

Platinum's been dead for like 3 years. Plus, Generations Selects has only used molds from PotP and sooner, or at least the Hasbro releases of it have, because technically Selects started during PotP I believe.

 

Forgive my ignorance to this discussion.

Has any details about this line been released?
Release Dates?

 

Name of the line is Earthrise.

Releases in March, wave 1 is

Battlemasters Soundbarrier and Smashdown
Micromasters Daddy-O/Trip-Up, Bombshock/Growl
Deluxes Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Hoist, Ironworks
Voyagers Starscream and Grapple
Leaders Optimus w/trailer and Astrotrain

The line’s Titan is Scorponok

Astro and Smashdown are Siege repacks.

 

At the risk of hyperbole, the entire trilogy has no purpose for me if it doesn't deliver definitive versions of all of the movie characters to go alongside Unicron. Ultra Magnus (though I wish his alt mode were earthen) and Springer are a good start, but there is a long way to go. After we get those, bring on the Beast Wars!

 

If you want to play that game we haven't had any selects boxsets and nobody said it was necessarily a selects release, just an exclusive.
