Now the question is, now that they've made the Magnificus head, will we see a toy colours Perceptor end up in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line? I think there's a very good chance we will...

Magnificus....
It's just a recoloured Perceptor, with what looks like a Shattered Glass Optimus Prime's head!

Headmasters that have not had updates
• Nightbeat
• Siren
• Hosehead
• Squeezeplay
• Horri-Bull
• Go Shooter
Also absent is Diaclone Topspin
It also specifically says "G1" so that rules out non-G1 headmasters, like Sideways.
99% positive "Headmaster" is a placeholder while they secure a name, and not being used to keep a secret.
As such, I feel like Nightbeat is a non-starter, as they'd have named him.
There's no suitable mold for Hosehead, and I kinda think "Loudmouth" and "Terri-Bull" would also be named.
I kinda feel like Topspin would both be named, and classed as "Diaclone" and not G1.
That leaves Squeezeplay, who's name has not been used in a long time, and the placeholder (Crashbash) isn't even close. So that seems like one they would try to reacquire, and need a placeholder for in the meantime.
It's also ready to go as a minor retool of Repugnus.
But I don't dismiss Topspin.
Now what I want it to be though, is Henry Masterson, from the deluxe Black Zarak head, with Zarak swapped out for the Scorponok Titanmaster mold that came with Grotusque.

We thought this was probably coming somewhere since there's so many of his details on Needlenose.... Doe he get new guns instead of the Targetmasters? With Crankcase having been done from Skids that probably suggests Ruckus is in the works.... and answers the question "What will the forthcoming Beachcomber be reused as?" - swap the roll cage for an enclosed driving cabin, new head, job's a good un. |

Squeezeplay from CW Blot? Nightbeat would be mainline I'd have thought They're unlikely to say Headmaster unless the gimmick is intact surely? |

Horri-Bull is best served from TR Skullsmasher. Exact same transformation. New beast head, new tail, and whatever work needed to get it to stand like a mammal. |

I can see what you're getting at but those shoulders on Skullsmasher are a ***** to get right in Beast mode and I think Slag's got less work to get it close enough in beast mode

I say Nightbeat from Minerva on the grounds the base mould is a retail exclusive to Walgreens.

Last Selects for the year, apparently. Which is fine, but... I can't remember seeing any others.

Omega Sentinel Magnificus There's one more we know about and another who's identity is unclear: |

Except they've not been announced officially, so presumably they're not coming out this year?

Post by Philip Ayres on Jun 22, 2023 12:53:30 GMT
Could be, or the designers have lost track of what's been revealed and what hasn't
Selects does seem to have slid down the priority scale somewhat if it is just 3 releases this year

A lot of what would look like Selects releases seem to end up in BB or as 'capsule' lines such as Toxitron, Velocitron etc.
Selects may be winding down. It no longer has a USP and there remains a glut of product overall.

The Scavenger head was mentioned in the stream.
Will wait for a sale. £35 for a repaint on 5% interest day? Nay!

It's just the ant head opened as part of it's transformation. I thought the insides of the eyes were the outsides, like the chest just pulled apart like Waspinator's. On a side note, I kinda wish that Scavenger head was colored for Inferno's body. |

It no longer has a USP and there remains a glut of product overall. Yeah, wouldn't surprise me. I think I was more surprised to discover that Selects was still a thing, which I think says it all, really. |
