Took the opportunity to clear down the rumours thread tonight. Phil likes a neat tidy forum :-)

Which makes it weird that I'm continued to be allowed to post here, but here we are...
And yes, this looks really nice. I'm just desperately trying not to pre-order it because I don't have a single one of the Earthrise See- Attack Jets, and now is really not the time to start.

I don't either, but this is the one I'm going for. Like the only Siege jet I got was Redwing, I figure I can cope with one off the wall character version of a toy. And this is G2 so my defenses were already weakened.

Pre ordered that straight away. Looks lovely, and seeing as there is no chance of getting the version with Dirge...

Has G2 sandstorm been delayed or have people got theirs?

Availability varies. Some places have had it, some places are still waiting on stock.

I'm sure we'll find out about one of these at the Pulse Fan Fest. The rest we'll learn more from via leaks a couple of weeks later...

Clampdown .... tfwiki.net/wiki/Clampdown_(G1)Clampdown is the Diaclone Japanese basis for the toy that became Red Alert. Could we see a Selects Clampdown? And what could they do that would make it dfferent enough from Siege Red Alert? Fortunately Siege Red Alert has done us a favour there because it's legs are white as per the cartoon, something I'd not twigged till recently. I think there's FOUR solid coloured frames in the Siege Sideswipe mould plus a clear one. Frame A is the car bodywork, robot shoulders and back of the lower legs. Annoyingly the missile appears to be on this frame. Frame B is the hands, waist, leg fronts and head. It's usually black but all these parts change together on G2 Sideswipe & Selects Deep Cover Frame C is the arms and upper legs. This is the frame I'd have had the missile on! Frame D is the wheels, which has been Black everytime. The launcher and gun are also black whenever they appear, no matter what the colour of the hands so they must be on the same frame as the wheels. | A | B | C | D | Sideswipe | RED | BLACK | WHITE | BLACK | Red Alert | WHITE | BLACK | WHITE | BLACK | G2 Sideswipe | BLACK | RED | WHITE | BLACK | Tigertrack | YELLOW | BLACK | WHITE | BLACK | Deep Cover | BLACK | BLUE | WHITE | BLACK | Netflix Sideswipe | GREY (painted Red) | BLACK | WHITE | BLACK | Netflix Red Alert | GREY (painted White) | BLACK | WHITE | BLACK | Netflix Deep Cover | GREY (painted Blue) | BLACK | GREY | BLACK |
So for Clampdown I think: Frame A: White
Frame B: Black
Frame C: Red
Frame D: Black So could someone digibash those colours onto Sideswipe/Red Alert to see what it looks like? The major difference from Siege Red Alert would be red arms from below the shoulders to above the wrists & red upper legs. Would it get the Red Alert Head in black - it's Black anyway, just painted, on Red Alert or the Sideswipe head to further set it apart?

PHIL!!!! You made think one had been announced for a while there. Surely this is for the Speculation thread?
BAD PHIL.

Selects doing a titan - see - opens up some interesting options. I know at least one of the chums had been waiting for a certain Siege Titan to be repainted. Now Selects is doing them, it's one step closer reality!

There are only three I would go after. RiD Fortress Maximus RiD Landfill G2 Devastator BWII Gigastorm
And I'd prefer Gigastorm to be a retool of SS86 Grimlock, to be honest. I'd also prefer no Devastator ever happen. I hate that mold.
But of course, I'd have had Black Zarak on the list of "will never buy as a titan," before yesterday.

I predict that the next Titan class Selects offering will be Shattered Glass Predaking. Because what else would they do with those molds..?

I am still sad at missing out on Predaking.

I could go for a Metrotitan, but it's such a lot to pay for a repaint.

It may have been posted somewhere already but there was a picture of a Hauler redeco of Inferno on the internet a few days ago.

Anything posted a couple of days ago should be viewed with suspicion

Definitely, but it's an easy repaint and we know Hasbro love easy repaint 😀

No idea, just flicking through stuff and saw it. I don't take anything much seriously until it's for sale in the shops
