Most of these are not exclusve to any one retailer but they will be predominantly sold online rather than in stores, as is the case with all Selects releases. If any of these turns out not to be a Selects release, then it can be exclusive. Of course, this could all be fake so take it with a grain of salt just in case.

The original SG Ironhide was also based on Diaclone Colors, but with a different deco than Guard. Plus, who knows if the IDW SG will have the same devo, since some of them have changed compared to original SG.

Guard is almost tempting but same with not being able to get the main two and it having a bad Alt with its feet so I'll pass.
any use of that Cheetor mold is a big no. Buzzsaw is tempting with me going for T30 over kingdoms waspinator.

I definitely think Siege Ironhide is better than Earthrise Ironhide. Is this a general consensus?

Both are pretty bad alt mode wise but Siege is lazier in general (at least it is easy enough to modify some wheels for crosshairs -which is the only reason/figure I picked up). Earthrise had a bit of effort put into it, just not enough (only have the shattered glass usage)

for me its the other way around, it's the ER mold that's lazy, especially with those feet just hanging out in the back. In black deco it doesn't look bad in van mode, but the robot mode (in all decos) just looks off-putting. I have 3 versions of the Siege mold, and unless we get an Ironhide in SS86, Siege will stay as my G1 rep for that character.blackeyedprime wrote:william-james88 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Nice!

There is a SS86 Ironhide coming

As for Guard, guess I will be ordering replacement feet from Nonnef again soon.

I will for sure get Buzzsaw since I have every version of that character, he was a fun one I inadvertently started collecting, even got his Micron Booster Pack partner for his Cybertron toy.
Nightprowler looks neat, I love the cheetor mold, will get.
Black Guard looks good, I am enjoying the diaclone colors. I will get him to go on the Diaclone shelf, and the Deeseeus army drone will be SG Ironhide.
I like Silverstreak for the diaclone shelf, but I do not want another datsun mold. I have that mold as Barricade and that is enough. The siege Barricade looked far better, but I wanted him to be different than the normal 3, and I got those 3 in Siege and didn't want to try again in earthrise.

Also reminder that the rumors have him pegged as having the Cheetor bot head rather than the mutant head, and he is actually an Autobot, not a Maximal.
Correct, plus only 1 of these has been stated to actually be a Selects figure so far based on the rumor list.counterprime321 wrote:The news post is incorrect. It's been stated by Jtprime17 that Silverstreak is a Target exclusive in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee subline.

Yuck. Really? The Arcee mold again? That really doesn't fit her at all. I was hoping it would at least be a redeco of Chromedome or something.

Actually that would be a great idea for another crossover. The black GMC van from the A-Team show turns into a black Ironhide named Baracus.Burn wrote:Let's just call the Ironhide repaint Baracus and move on ...

"Baracus" refers to B.A. Baracus of the A-Team TV show and his Black with red highlight van.

I know that (hence my "Pity the foo'" reply above).

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.

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.Rodimus Prime wrote:OR...maybe you got lucky with a rare properly functioning copy.

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?

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.
