A new concept from Hasbro is the Generations Selects, which will be limited edition figures that won't be sold in stores (in the US), but will be
offered through select online stores (Hasbro have already linked to Entertainment Earth on their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/2309802299089951)).
The first two have been announced as Red Swoop (minor redeco of POTP Swoop, which we all expected eventually), and Riccochet (black redeco of
POTP Jazz). The Entertainment Earth listings have them both at US$20 each, and to be released in February.
Hasbro have also given out official images and details to some American fansites (the quoted text below came from here (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/11/30/generations-select-series-swoop-and-ricochet-revealed-online-exclusives-377810), which has more official images).
Transformers Generations Selects:
Generations Selects is a fan-dedicated collection of figures featuring special edition, limited release versions of
Transformers characters. They’re mail-order only, shipped in special packaging exclusive to this line. We launched this line for our fans to expand their collection and make it truly unique.
Power of the Primes Dinobot Red Swoop:
The original 1985 Transformers toy release of Swoop had red deco. TFans can get a Swoop with red deco inspired by the original G1 toy. You won’t find it in stores!
Figure is compatible with Combiner Wars and Power of the Primes Deluxe and Voyager toys (sold separately) to serve as a
limb in a custom giant robot like Volcanicus. Autobot prehistoric creature transforms from pteranodon to a robot with a fist and
a sword. Red and clear pteranodon inspired by the original toy deco of the original 1985 Swoop release in the USA.
Power of the Primes Ricochet:
Ricochet deco is based on the 1987 Targetmaster, known in Japan as Stepper. It has the character’s classic flame deco, as
well as sleek gold rims and gold accents.
Figure is compatible with Combiner Wars and Power of the Primes Deluxe and Voyager toys (sold separately) to serve as a
limb in a custom giant robot. Autobot car transforms from sportscar to a robot with a fist and a blaster. Black and gold
