WFC-GS15 Hot House - A repaint of AirWave to complete the set of Micromaster Bases, looks like the “Fire Station” tampo is upside down

I imagine it'll have an extra configuration where Fire Station ends up the right way.

There was a pic on Facebook of an In hand one, with the tampo corrected

Ah cool ok. The one in the Hasbro Pulse video still has it upside down but they did correct Rotostorm's head later so it'll probably get fixed later on.

Let's see....
Red, orange and light blue deco. Combines (sort of). Turns into part of a City.
Must be CHUG Fire Chief! :p

The colours are certainly bright.

This was planned for EB games for October, back at the beginning of the year but will still need confirmation.

the micromaster base was just orange and red and turned into a tank. I still have it and G1 Greasepit.

I had all four of them at one point, they're pretty neat. Still have Ironworks and Hothouse.

Me either. Totally random and it's not a good mix.

G1 had a blue hangar/garage/seat

This looks... terrible.

Wasn't a fan of Ironworks, getting Greasepit because of nostalgia. Thinking I'll pass on the other two.

I was going to say, there was a little bit of blue on the original Gen1 battlestation component, and I think this Hot House toy needed something to break up the red and orange.

As someone not attached to any of the micromaster bases, I think he looks really cool. The city building aspect seems fun.

This is just lazy. An airstrip pretending to be a fire station. At least Greasepit had some unique bits for him.

It's actually quite accurate to the original toy (accessory), which was an airport fire station, complete with control tower and hanger for the Micromaster jet that came with it.

I'm more disappointed in the 3rd mode, the battlestation mode, that just looks like Micromaster Airwave's anti-aircraft battlestation mode, instead of finding an alternative joining of parts to look more like the tank that Micromaster Hot House had.
At least the 3rd mode for the Gen1 bases for Ironworks and Greasepit are similar looking towers, so the Earthrise toys of those two can get away with being the same mould and accessories & colours can make them good homages to the Gen1 toys. Airwave and Hot House on the other hand, had completely different 3rd modes, so using the same base mould for Earthrise would have to ruin one of them, and I guess they had the more accurate homage be the mass-produced regular retail toy (Airwave), and leave the inaccurate toy for a limited number of collectors who may be more vocal, but will still be enough people to buy up all of the limited run (Hot House).

TBH, it makes more sense than the G1 base mode, like a plane could take off.

Looking at the separated pieces in one of the images I think there's a bit of play to work out an unofficial version with a bit more red, and the cannon only on one leg such that it reflects the original a bit better.

Would have to have either Hot House or Air Wave in hand to know for sure.

An update from Hasbro Australia today - Hot House is NOT coming to Australian retail... so if you want one, order from an online or foreign source that you trust.

Today’s reveal is BUG BITE

Might not be enough units being made is my guess. Might just grab a second airwave and make my own.

WFC-GS16 Bugbite on the Hasbro Pulse website for release in America December 1st for US$20.

Just wanting to let people know that stock of Bugbite was allocated to Australia, for release at EB Games, but the release date is unknown (probably around the same time as in America)... and as long as Hasbro America doesn't change their mind, it should be coming here. Also for New Zealand as well.

(just not Hot House - some items are difficult to secure from the global production run, as Australia is a long way down the pecking order due to being a very small market compared to other Hasbro countries)

BBTS, RK & the likes have both Hothouse and Bug Bite up for preorder, so Im at a loss as to why they bothered to hype & split the Tuesday reveals up as such. Either way its good that we've got options

It's outside the planned Tuesday reveals but Generations Selects GS-21 Decepticon Sandstorm has been revealed. Curiously, it's stated to be a Deluxe but pretty sure it's a Voyager since it's using the Ramjet mold.

Edit: Also officially revealed GS-14 G2 Megatron from the Earthrise Megatron mold.

And apparently it?s a Decepticon Combiner as well according to one image. It?s like they have no idea

Yeah... I think because these two were leaked in the last few days, Hasbro has rushed out their official reveal (if they are two of the five planned reveals for Tuesdays).

This (Singapore?) website appears to have been given samples of the two toys, to reveal... and with a number of sites also having pre-order listings now active, I don't think Hasbro had much go according to plan on the reveal of these two.
Both are listed for release in December, for US$30 in America.

WFC-GS14 Megatron (Gen2)
Transformers Generations Selects bring back favorite characters from across the globe as exciting entrants into the Cybertronian Wars. This WFC-GS14 Megatron figure is inspired by the 1992 G2 toy release. Big robots join the Siege with this Transformers Generations Selects Voyager G2 Megatron – Exclusive! Figure is compatible with blast effect accessories (sold with Battle Masters figures, sold separately.) Decepticon warlord transforms from tank to a robot with a fusion cannon and battle sword. Blue Purple and green deco inspired by the famous Hasbro Generation 2 tank Megatron toy from the 1990s.

WFC-GS21 Sandstorm (Gen2)
Starscream’s mean team is on the scene! Check out this amazing 7-inch Decepticon G2 Sandstorm figure. This Decepticon Sandstorm figure features classic conversion from robot to Cybertronian jet modes and is based jet to a highly detailed robot. Inspired by the mockup of the never released G2 Decepticon Sandstorm figure from the 90s, this figure has a cone head and will look awesome as a part of your growing Seekers squad. WFC-GS21 Sandstorm includes two blasters and instructions.It’s the G2 Sandstorm figure fans have been waiting for! For the first time ever, fans can add the elusive character to their collection! This special edition WFC-GS21 Decepticon Sandstorm figure is inspired by the mockup of the never released G2 figure, featuring desert camo deco and a ferocious snarling face on the nose of the jet mode. This Decepticon Sandstorm figure converts from robot to jet mode in 25 steps and comes with 2 null ray accessories that can attach to the figure in robot and jet modes.

Both are Voyager redecos - new head for Megatron... I can't see anything obvious for Sandstorm.

Forgot to mention - Gen2 Megatron is expected here and NZ (at EB Games in Australia), but not Sandstorm (at this stage).
If I find out that either of those changes, I'll post it here.

He was. He was also a repaint of Brawl in Japan (as part of Battle Gaia). :p

3rd reveal is up...

Black Roritchi

https://hasbropulse.com/products/tra...black-roritchi

All were missing now are GS17 and GS20. I wonder what they'll be. We don't have a Leader class one in Earthrise yet.

17 was the centurion drone

The box is initially misleading as it's the same Gen Selects style but it's E33. Has it on the box.

https://gamp.ameblo.jp/trans-mind-ho...615686126.html
(comparison with Exhaust box)

Edit: The initial reveal mentioned 17 weapons so maybe that's where sites got GS17 from.

It was this site calling it gs17 that came up in search

https://collecticontoys.com/products...on-pack-deluxe

All these reveals and we haven't even got wave 2 of Earthrise in stores.

WFC-GS22 - Black Roritchi (I still haven't been able to work out what the name is meant to mean)

This toy is NOT being released at retail in Australia.
It is being released in America in December, for US$20.

This special edition WFC-GS22 Black Roritchi figure features gold deco inspired by the Fasttrack Headmaster redeco included with the 1988 Super-God Masterforce BlackZarak. This Black Roritchi figure converts from robot to tank mode in 10 steps, then breaks apart into weapons and armor in 7 steps. Also converts into a staff that can be held by Titan Class figures (sold separately, subject to availability). Comes with 2 blaster accessories that can attach to the figure in robot and tank modes.

That gold colouring makes me instinctively cringe, thinking back to the gold plastic toys of that Gen1-Gen2 era. I know that this toy shouldn't be the same, but it's like seeing someone getting hit in the groin... it isn't hurting you, but you still wince a little at the thought of the pain. :p

Ever since I got Siege Aragon and pre-ordered Centurion Drone, I decided it'd be cool to get 2 versions of each Weaponizer/Modulator but now I'm realising how many figures that's actually going to be.

Still need to find somewhere to order Hot House from and hopefully Black Roritchi is easier to source. Have to admit I really like the colour scheme of this one.

You're not the only one since TFWIKI has this: No, we don't know what "Roritchi" means.

I'm hoping that they are aware of the GPS thing and have taken active steps on this new one to make sure it doesn't happen. It may be intentional, but it looks like it's gonna crumble at any second.
