That's oddly underwhelming. Not even a new head?
I wonder which of all these will be the ID exclusive. Another Selects like Lancer was? I don't think it'll be exhaust because Kapow wouldn't have publicised it if they knew they were pissing on another retailer's chips. Maybe exhaust is kapow's exclusive and they posted the eBay listing to claw back some of the reveal they've just lost.

I coulda sworn I thought I commented. Guess I just though it instead.
I'm slightly surprised that Exhaust turned out to be Marlborojack, and not a renamed Slicer. (Only slightly)
I don't know what I was expecting from greasepit, but somehow I'm still disappointed.

Kind of have similar feelings on Greasepit, and I think it's because I wanted all of these to be the distinctive, fun little bases the originals were. But the (awesome) modularity means they can't be, really. I suppose also having to form the (to me, superfluous) robot mode compromises them further.
Overall I love the modularity aspect so much it overcomes my apathy for the robot modes, and I plan on getting them all!
Exhaust is a disappointment, really was hoping for Slicer which would at least have been more distinct from Wheeljack.

Exhaust doesn't look too bad, but neither are particularly exciting. Looking forward to nothing new being revealed this evening now!

Shame he's still got the Spinister head.

Where will Rotorstorm be available? All reveals today have pre-orders going live 1pm US time. The livestream was US-centric so who knows about elsewhere. -Ralph |

Shame he's still got the Spinister head. Not surprising with it being a US Selects. Only the Japanese Selects seem to have remoulding. -Ralph |

Several US Selects do: Megatron, Lancer, Nightbird, all the Powerdashers, Hot Rod

Anyone else think that Rotorstorm looks a bit silly with THREE cockpits (Two of which are fake)?

That's not a cockpit. It's just spinister's chest painted in the same colors.
There's zero remolding done on him. Not even a new head.

On a side note, I got a second Tigertrack to convert into RiD REV.
Reprolabel will probably make a conversion set, it's so easy.
If not, just a couple gobs of red paint on the shins, and yellow paint on the forearms, and a headswap with red alert will do it.
Added bonus is Red Alert will finally have the proper black head.

Honestly confused as to why Hasbro want to stick with a toy based on a pack of cigarettes/race car sponsorship, one that even if actually good still looks a lot like Wheeljack, when theres an actual Decepticon repaint of Wheeljack with a great colour scheme already in the cannon.
Greasepit is, not disappointing as such, I think I prefer it to Ironworks, but its just too much the same to get exited about.
The colours are reminding me of something else that I cant place.

Rotorstorm is another thats not bad but if they are sticking with Spinister's head its not going to work.
Amused by the two fake cockpits though.
Now that I'm seeing it in blue I feel like it would have made a much better Windmill.

Don't see why from that why Rotorstorm is available here but Tigertrack is only as an import. What you thinking Hasbro UK? I think it would be weirder if Hasbro UK offered Tigertrack to you guys, but not Rotorstorm |
