I haven't bought an Earthrise Strike Plane, but that will change that.

Ratrorschach is supposed to arrive tomorrow (sunday). Fasttrack got here yesterday.
The exclusive repaint almost beat the original.

I had the pained realisation this morning that we're never getting a Mirage repainted into Slapdash, are we?
Open goal gone painfully begging there.

Nah, that would have just delayed Slapdash and company from getting the new moulds they deserve!

Black Rokaroka come in, and as a bonus, so did Bugbite and Hot House.
Black Rorypond is a lot prettier than Fasttrack.
Bugbite is my second go with this mold and I like it even less than than Cliffjumper, honestly.
No opinions on Hot House.

Trying to see how Kingdom is going to fund next year's Selects line is difficult.
We were talking about this in the call last night, not a huge number of obvious Kingdom repaints and several of them are in the main line
BW Cheetor's got 2 recolours and we're certain both of those are in the main line.
Warpath has a rumoured main line recolour
Can you get Tarantulas from Black Arachnia?
Primal could burn. Or be blue. Or something. Or actually give me my yeti Ultra Magnus!!!!!!
Cyclonus ??
Megatron - T-Wrecks. Predacon.
From the probables, yeah we know they're coming list
A Dinobot would be Grimlock
A Waspinator - Buzzsaw (and possibly others)
Earth Mode Inferno - Artfire?
Ultra Magnus - Powered Convoy
It wouldn't surprise me if there's a few more Earthrise repaints in next year's Selects.
So is there any low hanging fruit from the Earthtrise tree that's been missed? The obvious stuff is Diaclone Hoists and Trailbreakers and a G2 Ramjet (plus other Strike plane recolours) but can anyone think of anyone else....

They repainted the henkei Cyclonus to Strafe, that’s a possible. Or maybe the Armada of one given the movie anniversary.

Cyclonus could have a slight recolour as 'his Armada' (aka reformated Skywarp).
There was a Dirge coloured Cyclonus in Five Faces Of Darkness.
Also, wasn't there a Shattered Glass or Strafe one a while back?
Primal could become the Animorph gorilla (which is what the beast mode reminds me of).

Fukken Slapdash!
I mean, yeah sure, Artfire I would buy.
Who is the obvious Warpath?

Cyclonus is like Blurr. In a weird way, with the right redecoes, he becomes a chameleon. However, if it's not the right one, it'll just look like Cyclonus in cosplay, just like what happened to all the TR Blurr repaints.
I used to have a list of unlikely repaints he'd be great for, but can't remember them ATM. But I can see a Swoop retool in him right this moment.
Once we see what they do with Tigatron will answer the question if Blackarachnia could be turned into Tarantulas.
But the single biggest problem with the Beasts, is their decree that (save for Shadow Panther) it'll be show characters only. They shot themselves in the foot right there, because there are toy only characters that make good retools.
Optimus Primal-
· Burning deco
· Universe deco
· Apelinq
· B'Boom retool
· Yeti retool
· Sasquatch retool
Blackarachnia Repaints-
· Toy deco
· Halloween Horrorcon deco
· Animated deco
· Crystal Widow
· Arcee
· Tarantulas retool?
Rhinox Repaints-
· "Evil Clone"
· Backstop
· "Armorhide" (no specific homage)
· G1 Slag retool
· Stranglehold
Cheetor-
· Halloween Horrorcon snow leopard retool
· TFA Prowl cougar
· Glit
· Catscan
Dinobot-
· Grimlock
· Slash
· Thrustor retool
· Hardhead retool
· Dinobot II retool
Tigatron-
· Catilla
Rattrap-
· Packrat
· Labrat (albino deco)
· Plague (black deco)
· Armordillo retool

Wasnt he show only thing for the main line only? Id be surprised to see them limiting themselves like that in select.

I’m guessing Warpath is going to be retooled into Slammer for the main line, but Selects wise I’d love them to do Ferak from Cyclonus.

I'd be happy with more jets as the mould is so good. Target Acid and Sunstorm two pack. If they did Sunstorm properly and made him orange, nailed on. We still need Kingoji's Blackout too.

Ooh - that would be really nice. But what'll actually happen is that he'll get redecoed into Battle Cat, because I don't know why, he just will. What I'm personally hoping for is that they'll do a slight remold and repaint of Optimus Primal into Beast Machines Optimus Primal. And if they do that, they might do that with all the other characters - although that may also be too much effort for Selects. |

OTOH.... Deep Cover is on the Netflix list What would you get Transmutate from? Paleotrex? V Ramjet, V Artfire and L Toy Galvatron look like wish lists. And what about the previously rumoured If they're two halves of the same toy range there's a lot more bigger Selects coming next year with THREE Leaders, 2 Voyagers and 2 Deluxe. Deluxe have been the meat and drink of Selects so far so I wouldn't expect that to change. And no mention of a BW Buzzsaw which looks easy quick money |

See!
I said I'd seen something about a 'Toy Galvatron' listing on the zoom chat, Saturday.

Yep, I am very much hoping that that toy colours Galvatron is actually going to happen - because it's as close as we'll ever get to a Marvel UK colours Galvatron. The gamble here is that I pass on the standard release because I'm waiting for this one, and then miss out entirely because the mold plain doesn't exist...
And Shackwave was a Selects release, so they have done leader class before. Not as often, but it has been done.

Throttlebots from Battlechargers?
We've also achieved some distance from Hound's Cybertron Defence Hotshot repaint so it could be time to go again with that mould as either Iron Fist or Detritus - two similarly coloured easy wins.

That announcement was perfect timing, too, given that I was in the middle of re-reading Target: 2006. They got me!
