On the TTMall site, they are priced at ¥ 4,104 (US$ 38.50), though this info benefits more any japanese fan reading this. The release date from Takara is September 7th, 2019. However, the pre-orders will only be available until the supplies last.



Let us know what you think of these toys!



























































We finally have an official reveal of sorts for two new Transformers toys, which we didn't get a great look at yet. These are Transformers Generations Selects Nightbird And Powerdasher Zetar, made from Siege Chromia and Brunt. The official images are of the actual toys and not renders. They come from TakaraTomy Mall , which has pre-orders up for the Japanese community. It is not confirmed who will carry them in the US, though they are more likely to be online exclusives of some sort, as are all Generations Select toys.On the TTMall site, they are priced at ¥ 4,104 (US$ 38.50), though this info benefits more any japanese fan reading this.

Oh wow. I was just thinking last night that we haven't really seen anything from Nightbird since the pictures were revealed Posted by Sentinel_Primal on August 23rd, 2019 @ 9:00am CDT

Nightbird's alt mode looks very sleek, but the lack of original weapons knocks her down a few pegs. I'd still say the Legends version is the best. Posted by Lore Keeper on August 23rd, 2019 @ 9:33am CDT

I literally watched the Nightbird episode of G1 for the first time last night, now I'm way more interested in her lol. Though I do wish she had some swords, the gun is pretty lame. Posted by YRQRM0 on August 23rd, 2019 @ 9:37am CDT

Zetar looks pretty good. I'm a sucker for drill tanks though so I may be biased.



Nightbird's robot mode looks great, and the vehicle mode looks good too...except that the "female torso on the roof" syndrome the Moonracer/Chromia engineering has is taken to a whole new level here. Like, you have this really slick black wedge car with Nightbird's very womanly chest on the back. That's a shame. Also she needs some ninja weapons. I still kinda want her though.

I was gonna go for Brunt, but Zetar is so awesomely goofy that I may have to shoot for him (plus I'm a sucker for drill tanks lol).



I really like this Nightbird, much more than the Legends version, but the absolute fortress on her back is still a turnoff for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted by -Crossfire- on August 23rd, 2019 @ 11:46am CDT

I'm intending to get both of them, although I do find it interesting that Zetar looks more black than dark blue now. Also, did they remold the inner structure of his chest? I'm pretty sure Brunt can't do that with his head (I don't have mine on-hand to look). Hasbro just officially revealed these two at Canada FanExpo, so hopefully we'll see some listings or preorders go up soon.I'm intending to get both of them, although I do find it interesting that Zetar looks more black than dark blue now.

It looks like his drill just disconnects from the top of his and plugs onto the front of the vehicle mode It looks like his drill just disconnects from the top of his and plugs onto the front of the vehicle mode Posted by Sentinel_Primal on August 23rd, 2019 @ 12:32pm CDT

...ohhh, yeah, I see it now. I had thought that the head had somehow swapped places with the weapon mode handle, but now I see the face better on the other pictures. My bad. ...ohhh, yeah, I see it now. I had thought that the head had somehow swapped places with the weapon mode handle, but now I see the face better on the other pictures. My bad.

Zetar could easily be repainted as screwhead/ Rod Drill. And I kind of think he looks cooler then Brunt Posted by mech_dh on August 23rd, 2019 @ 12:41pm CDT

Zetar looks awesome-- I was planning on making a custom one anyway (different base figure) and now I don't have to.



Nightbird....is... fine. Posted by PushYouDown on August 23rd, 2019 @ 1:17pm CDT

Well, more Decepticons in general But on the other hand, when I got Chromia the joints felt... Loose isn't the right word because they holds their poses... Too smooth for comfort? Combined with the fact that Moonracer and Novastar are also in the same feeling of looseness, I'm not sure if Nightbird is really worth it when there are several others that could be used to bolster ranks I'm conflicted about Nightbird. On the one hand, I like the color scheme and the idea of adding more female Decepticons to my shelf.But on the other hand, when I got Chromia the joints felt...

I preordered both! Zetar is mandatory, of course. I already have what is probably the superior release of Nightbird, the Takara Transformers Legends repaint of Arcee with new head and appropriate ninja weapons (swords, sai, etc.), from a few years back, but, I can't help but like this rendition too. I think part of me just wants to "Catch 'Em All" with the Siege line. There isn't anything I haven't passed up so far. I preordered both! Zetar is mandatory, of course.

I just preordered both as well, and it looks like Hasbro is suggesting to use the modular aspect of the Chromia molds' weapons to make a small melee weapon from the grenades and the gun "scope", which they also call a baton now. They show an example in the stock photography.



What interests me is that these two are GS07 and GS08, and Zetar's description confirms that Cromar will be the last Powerdasher released and therefore have a higher number, probably GS09, so GS04 is still missing. It could be Hot Shot I guess, but if that's the case and that's the last figure, it bothers me that the numbers didn't at least go to 10.

ok so Pulse says Zetar's expected to ship around September 9, but BBTS is not until February 2020 ??? I've already pre-ordered the Seacons. Too bad there isn't anything else besides Zetar I want to qualify for free shipping. I guess Ill be getting this one way late again. Posted by o.supreme on August 23rd, 2019 @ 5:14pm CDT

Zetar is truly the hero we deserved, he takes the weaponizer gimmick to it's natural conclusion by turning his head into a weaponizer port, so much awkward goofiness is going to ensue Posted by Hellscream9999 on August 23rd, 2019 @ 6:15pm CDT

Both of these look pretty good. I pre-ordered both.



Zetar is perfect. He is necessary thanks to Aragon in the siege 3-pack that I want, but he is a great looking standalone too. Well done there.



Nightbird is weaker than her Legends toy a few years ago, but she will do. I never got that one, and i don't actually have Chromia, so at least I will get that mold... even if it will be my 5th of that skeleton basically. she really needed some better/different weapons Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on August 23rd, 2019 @ 8:22pm CDT
