These images confirm that there was tooling done to the inner figure, making him a smaller G1 inspired Prime, with pointier 'ears'.



















Thats not all though, two other figures are teased...







This one appears to be none other than Star Convoys nemesis, Super Megatron, with some speculation that it could be a retool of Galvaltron from Titans Returns.







This one is harder to place with some fans claiming it as Snap Trap while others being more skeptical.



What's more interesting to note though that this is being advertised as part of the Generations Select line, that Hasbro announced with Red Swoop and Ricohet (before adding Arctic Camo Megatron to). Could this mean that we could see Star Convoy released outside of Japan as well?



What do you think of this news? Will you be grabbing Star Convoy? Do you think we have confirmation of the Seacons?

Thanks to Hobby Dengeki , we have brand new pictures showing Star Convoy (retooled from Power of the Primes Leader Class Optimus Prime) in all his coloured glory!These images confirm that there was tooling done to the inner figure, making him a smaller G1 inspired Prime, with pointier 'ears'.Thats not all though, two other figures are teased...This one appears to be none other than Star Convoys nemesis, Super Megatron, with some speculation that it could be a retool of Galvaltron from Titans Returns.This one is harder to place with some fans claiming it as Snap Trap while others being more skeptical.What's more interesting to note though that this is being advertised as part of the Generations Select line, that Hasbro announced with Red Swoop and Ricohet (before adding Arctic Camo Megatron to).

Super Megatron's legs are definitely those of TR Galvatron, while the legs of the visor-eyed guy also look familiar.



I'm trying to see if I can use the sword to figure out who it might be, as the sword itself does look familiar to me as well. At first I wondered if it was just the Nemesis Prime sword, but it isn't. Though it's definitely not Piranacon's sword (and besides, Snap Trap doesn't have visored eyes, he has normal eyes). Posted by Sabrblade on April 4th, 2019 @ 11:33am CDT

It will be interesting to see if & share their selects with one another. Also there was that Armada Prime shown at the same time as Star Convoy initially, I'm surprised there was no update on that. Ahh...The silhouettes, and speculation, how I've missed you...Glad to see there are some surprises to look forward to. Star Convoy looks great, though I wont be getting it. Also, if that last one does turn out to be Snaptrap, I will be overjoyed.It will be interesting to see ifshare their selects with one another.

I said this in a different thread these pics were posted in, but I'll say it here too.

The silhouette of what might be Snap trap looks like a re-use of Hun Garr to me. Posted by Cobotron on April 4th, 2019 @ 11:42am CDT

Look at the right arm... that looks a lot like Hun-Gurr to me. Now as to if it's Snap Trap, we'll have to wait and see. Look at the right arm... that looks a lot like Hun-Gurr to me.

Ah dip! That's TOTALLY gotta be Snaptrap! Running under the assumption that it is, I NEVER thought that would happen!

That last silhouette certainly looks to be a bland of the Onslaught/Hot Spot CW Voyager figures, similar to how Hun-Gur was a massive retool of Silverbolt. If so, I might be all over that. I don’t really have any connection to either the Seacons or the Terrorcons, but they’re just so uniquely rad. Posted by Nemesis Maximo on April 4th, 2019 @ 1:04pm CDT

I knew Takara couldn't keep following along with Hasbro, they have a different clientele who want certain things for their figures. Posted by chuckdawg1999 on April 4th, 2019 @ 1:04pm CDT

I think he meant a Hasbro Release of UW-08.... It's a nice thought, but doubtful (Glad I have mine... ). I think a G2 Defensor is more likely, but still doubtful as well.







Additionally I'm sure this is way premature...But if that first silhouette turns out to in fact me Super Megatron, is anyone a little disappointed , didn't swing for the fences and just do a Super Megatron toy that upgrades to Ultra Megatron I think he meant a Hasbro Release of UW-08....

So, Big powered was the last of the 'legends' line and now all the crazy weird stuff will be pushed out under the 'selects' line? Does this mean they'll be shared too? This is the best timeline if so Posted by Hellscream9999 on April 4th, 2019 @ 1:05pm CDT

Yeah, that's what came to mind as well. Makes sense though, if this is a combining torso. Yeah, that's what came to mind as well. Makes sense though, if this is a combining torso. Posted by william-james88 on April 4th, 2019 @ 1:14pm CDT

I think that black silhouette might be another version of Razorclaw. He has the sword, the dual cannons and the visor eyes. Posted by Rodimus Prime on April 4th, 2019 @ 1:15pm CDT
