Very much so. The copter mode is going to look lush.

I've had a shipping note from ID for Hubcap so he must have been in this week's delivery.

Just realised in terms of transformation original Fastttack is pretty proto-Pretender...

The claim made no mention of a source so I would disregard this.

So if the Transformer Tuesdays for the next five weeks are all Selects who are they?
We almost certainly know FOUR whose identities were leaked MONTHS ago: Hothouse, Roritchi, Bugbite and G2 Megatron.
Is the FIFTH Ratchet?
IF IT IS then who is the last unknown Earthrise toy?
IF IT ISN'T, and Ratchet is the last unknown Earthrise toy, who is the last Selects?

If Bugbite is going to be the Bumblebee mould, how is the roof of the car going to simultaneously manage to be his chest and his head?
Oh wait, there was a Transformer Bugbite too wasn't there. I was assuming this was going to be a Gobots homage.

I would love it but has there been a Selects version of a previous Selects release? -Ralph

Maybe the Guardian robot from the Powerdasher?

PHIL NEEDS A G2 RAMJET!

You've already had one, G2 Hubcap has never been updated!

Not a Voyager G2 Ramjet.
G2 Hubcap will look rather Cliffjumpery. I'm not sure it's an easy sell beyond you, Andu and R Burns of Manchester

So does Ralph but too early what with Ramjet not being out yet. How about a G2 Starscream? -Ralph

Spinister is a great figure, but that Rotorstorm deco really puts it to shame.
I was just idly wondering if the fact we seem to have three new generic car moulds in Earthrise might mean we get a set of lovely selects Omnibots next year. That'd be nice.

We still don't have one that works for Camshaft. He's just got a really unique transformation that so far, there hasn't been a single TF that even comes close to, since he was made. Overdrive and Downshift both hit that "close enough" mark with ER Runamuck and Siege or ER Prowl to make me happy.

He’s close to these minibots, even has a similar battle mode.
There really hasn’t been anything properly close though, you’re right. Maybe ever?

I can’t think of anyone who does that properly. Like, the book of the car as the chest, or the jet engines... is there anyone?

Well, Motormaster doesn't 'work' on so many levels- scale, trailer becoming main bulk of the robot. Motormaster's too mad for words. Combiner Wars sorted that out though. Child me didn't mind -too much- about the scale thing, but he handled it ok. And nostalgia has carried Motormaster through since.
