New In hand Images of Transformers Generations Selects Buzzsaw

Might have been an interesting repaint/remold, but considering how horribly Kingdom Waspinator holds together, it's an easy pass.

You must do something wrong because my Waspinator is rock solid in both modes.

Sounds like either tolerances are inconsistent between copies, or how much force people use is.

Still, is it me, or does Buzz Saw's head look a bit too... organically detailed? I know, it's the original box art, but that worked for WC Blackarachnia. Here, not so much.

All 3 of my waspinators had the same waist issue. I really hope this guy doesn't have the same problem

Buzz Saw's "ears" look bigger than on the original.

That new head sculpt looks sick

OR...maybe you got lucky with a rare properly functioning copy. Mine has garbage waist connection as well.

Regardless, that Buzz Saw looks really good.

If the Waspinator complaints are supposedly more common than not, I guess I also fall into the minority with Kanra, my Waspinator is great.

Same, I bet they made a production run change, but it was super late into the figures run, I say wait for in-hand comments about it before consigning it to oblivion

I actually just picked up Waspinator tonight, and I guess I'm also in the minority, as my Waspy's waist seems to hold together ok. Maybe universe doezzn't always hate Wazzpinator...

Maybe there was a running change?

We had images of upcoming Generations Selects toys the other day, which included Nightprowler, a redeco of Cheetor based on a redeco of the original toy that was planned but was never released. Those images obscured the head and while it wouldn't leave much of an enigma for most redecos, the Kingdom cheetor mold has 2 designated heads, a robot head and a mutant head. And the original Nightprowler was only ever shown twice, one with his robot head and another time with his mutant head (image shown below). So, it could have gone either way. Well, now this image below shows that Nightprowler will come with the Cheetor robot head.

This toy will be coming out sometime next year but won't be exclusive to any store, although it will be more easily accessible through online channels.

I just wish it would have been another color than yellow for the robots bits.

Not the only time. The first time showed Nightprowler's robot head:

Thanks, I saw that but was worried it was a digibash

He'll probably look better in person, the two tone gray is hardly noticeable in photos. Would have preferred more paint in the arms and legs, especially when Buzzsaw seems to have a premium paint job with that nice fade in the legs and possibly a black paint wash on the wasp eyes. Brighter bot eyes would have been nice, too, but maybe that's also just the photos, remember how BB Kup's eyes looked in initial photos?

Emerje

I may end up getting gray Cheetor anyway. Might as well fully commit getting all the pussycats.

His deco would really pop more if his gray had been blue like the Universe test shot. As is, he looks so drab.

Maybe Hasbro will troll us 1 more time and release a Selects version with the blue and gray inverted.

I'm fairly certain the "blue" tint to the gray is the lighting and not the actual color of the plastic, especially since it looks gray in the other photo.

It would also help if they used yellow plastic or paint for the upper part of the pelvic area which just looks terrible here.

Someone on our facebook page noticed the autobot insignia on Nightprowler. Yeah, that is odd

william-james88 wrote:Someone on our facebook page noticed the autobot insignia on Nightprowler. Yeah, that is odd

Not really. The original Nightprowler was gonna be a Universe toy, a line that used Autobot and Decepticon symbols for all of its toys, including the Beast Wars and Beast Machines molds it used.

Had he been released, Nightprowler would have been an Autobot fighting in the Universe War as a Child of Primus.

Interesting, thanks

Er, I already posted (this) image in a thread to a previous story here at Seibertron, and even cited the original (Allspark) link:

- rumours-of-exclusives-in-2022-t117277s125.php#p2124293

However, the main news article didn't credit my post, or more importantly, the original Allspark post?

What's going on?

Will probably didn't see your post.

Bit late to the party on Nightprowler, but he looks good. I'm surprised he's still an Autobot rather than a Maximal, while I know the original cancelled toy was set to be an Autobot, I didn't think that would carry over to this new toy. I might get a Nightprowler once it's out, because snow leopards are one of my favourite animals, even if it and the Kingdom Cheetor mould in general doesn't look all that much like a snow leopard.

If we can do it for the Datsun bros, why not!

Buzzsaw's head looks SO GOOD! I love Buzzsaw, and is head sculpt is really fantastic. Definitely getting.

Kinda bummed Nightprowler doesn't use the mutant head, but he still looks cool, I will be getting him

JTPrime17 found some product numbers for some of this upcoming stuff:

Tra Gen Legacy Velocitron Voyager Override: F5763
Tra Gen Legacy Velocitron Voyager Road Hauler: F5762
Tra Gen Legacy Beast Assortment (the revealed Sandstorm, Buzzsaw, & Nightprowler): F4052

Also, now that I've revisited this thread:

Indeed. And by that logic, anything that is not the OG G1 Sunbow english cartoon is "fanfiction".

Yeah I'm also interested in hearing what logic has led to this statement.

I shall explain... in due time. It's after midnight right now (I had a long shift at work today), so I need to get to bed soon. But there are things I do wish say on the matter. I encourage y'all to keep pestering me about this until I do.

I just realized/remembered we never followed up with this, so consider this a pestering.

It's not fanfiction in the truest sense of the term from what I wager. The show was created by people who had no idea what Transformers actually was or what its universe had to offer, so they received a lot of input from the long-time fans at the time via online newsgroups (90's version of forums), especially with the ties to Generation 1 & 2. As such, several fans got a shout out in the show, and one you may all know: Ben Yee of BWTF.com was the biggest name here, he got a special shout out by a very random Waspinator as "Wonko the Sane", his online name at the time.

So yeah, lots of fan input, but I'm pretty sure there's more to it....


Come on, tell us!

I'm looking forward to seeing how Override turns out, I was skeptical when the leaks claimed she was going to be an extensive retool of Studio Series 1986 Hot Rod, and I'm still not sure how that will work, but I am eager to get some Unicron Trilogy characters on my Multiverse shelf. I've seen a lot of members on TFW2005 speculating that the other Convoys from Galaxy Force will be getting new toys as well in the near future; we're getting Override/Nitro Convoy and Metroplex/Megalo Convoy, so it would definitely be nice if we got the others either next year or the year after.

Does your mother know you've been hanging out at sites like that? I hope you've had your jabs beforehand and spent 2 weeks in quarantine before coming back to Seibertron...

Thanks to JTPrime17 we have product codes for two toys we already had rumours of: Hauler and Override. Both are voyagers and both are part of the Walmart exclusive Velocitron line made up of redecos. Hauler will of course be a redeco of Grappel, we even saw him already in the recent Wreckers comic. Override is said to be a redeco of SS voyager Hot Rod, but that is just a rumour. Then again, which other voyager mold would work for Ovveride?

Here are the product numbers.

Tra Gen Legacy Velocitron Voyager Override X2
Product Number: F5763
Tra Gen Legacy Velocitron Voyager Road Hauler X1
Product Number: F5762

Someone will no doubt correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the only other Voyager figure with a car mode they could use for her is Springer.

I would not be opposed to a triple changing Override though.

EERRRRR I need pictures of that Override!

I'll keep an eye out for Hauler. I plan to get every editions of the newest Grapple/Inferno molds and I will NOT miss this one.

Let's hope those will be easier to hunt than the vintage BW and G1 reissues.

The 7th Constructicon (Constructibot?) finally returns!

Feels like it's been a Decade since (Road) Hauler got a Toy!

The post you quoted mentions which mold Override is said to be retooled from.

I know. I’m specifically answering William’s question:

To my mind, SS86 Blurr is the most obvious choice.

Remold the front of the car, remold the head and paint apps do everything else.

She even has that "top of the head poking out in the middle of the car" thing Blurr has too.

Except Blurr is a deluxe, and Override is pretty much confirmed to be a Voyager. If it were Blurr, they’d need to add a ton of accessories to bump her / Blurr up to a voyager class figure.

Not an impossibility, mind you. And it would be infinitely preferable to them using Hot Rod.

Using SS86 Hot Rod to make Cybertron Override would be unforgivable stupidity. And if we see they were indeed that stupid whe, we should all write in to tell them what a ridiculous mistake it is and that they should either backpedal and do Hot Shot - who that mold actually could pull off, making the idea of trying to force it to be Override even dumber - instead... or just scrap the line and make Hauler a Selects figure.

You understand that has zero chance of working right? There is no way Hasbro would scrap a line just based on a fan letter writing campaign. A decrease in sales is the only real way to get their attention. And even then, it took 2 years of the titans going to liquidation before they scaled back the production runs.

Here's an drawing posted by a fan showing how it might work from the Hot Rod mold, just to give an idea.

Very cool indeed! I always felt Hauler was the only Constructicon that went rogue after creation then shortly replaced by Hook to complete the team...'nuff said!
