We were almost certain it was coming, but we finally have solid proof that, hot on the heels of the release of Transformers SIEGE Greenlight comes the final member of the Female Autobots, Lancer! This breaking news was submitted to us by Seibertron.com member Jtprime17, and first reported on the boards at tfw2005.com. Apparently, "Hobby Corner" on Facebook has announced that they have opened up pre-orders for this highly anticipated last piece needed to complete the "Orthia" combiner as hinted by Greenlight's bonus information on transformers.com when entering the password "LANCER." Unlike Greenlight, though, Lancer appears to be part of the Transformers Generations Selects line, as WFC-GS05. Even better, "Hobby Corner" has revealed an in-hand photo of Lancer. This picture reveals that Lancer is using the same re-tooling from the Greenlight version of the mold, with some new arm, leg, and torso parts (as compared to Power of the Primes Moonracer and Novastar/Firestar), except for her new, unique head sculpt, of course. The rest of her is created with some more clever repainting, this time in orange and multiple shades of purple. Lancer also comes with a repaint of Novastar's gun accessory and a repainted "Prime Armor" piece to serve as a hand in arm mode when combined to form Orthia (or the previously named "Elita Infin1te" from PotP, if you prefer). Unfortunately, again, unlike Greenlight, Lancer also doesn't come with a Battle Master partner as a bonus. Take a look for yourself at Lancer below!

What do you think of the upcoming Transformers Generations Selects Autobot Lancer? Will you be adding her to your female Autobot collection? If you simply must have her now, Lancer is currently available to order at Robot Kingdom. Let us know your thoughts on Lancer in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

She's......... very neon. I like the colors, they're just a little saturated. I hope it's just the lighting.

Not my favorite... Still wish LANCEr would have been a Lance-type Battle Master with Chromia as a limb. Because... These colors are certainly something.

BUT. It will be nice to FINALLY have this combiner done. Sign me up.

Oh, hell yes!

Am I the only one holding out hope for a Selects G2 Shuttle Blastoff?

Huh, she retains Novastar's weapon. And wow, the colors are gonna make her stick out. :shock:

Honestly, I kinda forgot about it. I WAS holding out hope when Selects first started, but I don't feel as confident now. I would still take it, though.

It looks like she also has Greenlight's forearms and torso (AAAABS).

A recolor of Smashdown with a flame part would have been cool. Could be used for thrusters to turn Smashdown's weapon mode and Ironhide's hammer into rocket hammers and on other weapons as a flamethrower part.

And do we know anything about "Orthia" yet (first time I heard about it)?

Orthia is the "Combined with the other Female Autobots" combiner's name, whereas Elita Inf1nite is the "combined with whoever" name.

Percisely

I'd imagine Starscream would be the same if they ever made two more jets for him to combine with.

Never say NEVER with having the GS line now. They are not done with combiners yet.
So it'll be Grand Starscream with whom ever and King Starscream with the "Seekers"? Only problem is Darkwing and Dreadwind are no original Seekers. But does anybody care as long as they are Decepticon jets? >:oP

Honestly, I find it preferable for them to use non-Seeker jets as limbs for Starscream, considering. As far as rounding out the jet limb set goes, I would personally like to see them do Hydra and Buster. I'm sure Takara would be happy to go that route.
Of course, if you think about it, doing G2 Shuttle!Blast Off would also round out the jet limb set because then there'd be two different displaced Jet!Blast Offs.

You know, I think we're all forgetting the most obvious "character" for Selects:

Overcharge! :-D

I'd prefer some Seekers we haven't gotten that often. The Rainmakers for example - I would love to get another MP deco-styled Acid Storm

. Or Dirge and Thrust with appropriate wings (and heads).

Well, I prefer non-Seeker jets for him because to me it would look and feel awkward for him to have limbs who were smaller versions of the same body type.

Overcharge is a Quintesson mass-produced drone (hence "character" being in quotes) based on Blitzwing's body.

And I think you may have missed the joke. :-P

Nope.

Like Greenlight, she has new mold forearms and fists, new shins and feet. A direct mold from Greenlight with a new head and colors.

I still wish they would have used a better mold if they were going to squeeze out an entire team of female bots. I do however like that this mold was designed to be female, and isn't a repurposed male mold, but that backpack... it's just that backpack.. :shock:

It’s an online exclusive. No one is forcing you to do anything.

This is a special figure and exclusive. Those have existed for near 20 years. It’s not unlike TFCC figure. You couldnt walk into retail stores and get those the big difference is these are way cheaper and more easily available

A couple of additional thoughts, just on the pricing.

So far all of the generations selects items have shown up on Hasbro Pulse and Amazon for the cheapest prices ($20 deluxe, $30 voyager), as long as you are willing to be patient. Redwing may be the first one to buck that trend if he is a Target exclusive. Lancer showing up at Robot Kingdom leads me to believe Lancer will not be a retailer exclusive, so she should show up on Pulse and/or Amazon eventually. If you have Pulse Premium or Amazon Prime already, that is going to be your best/cheapest bet by far. If not, and you are in the US, then BBTS is your best bet with $4 shipping or TFSource if you have something else in your stack already to get you up to free shipping.

Bbts and tfsource dont have $4 shipping. You’re paying between $9-$13 for an item of this size and weight.

Actually, with Hasbro's piss-poor distribution, it's slowly getting to the point where we're going to have to start ordering the regular releases just like the exclusives. Wave 3 Seige figures are supposedly out, but the only things on the pegs around here are the same handful of Wave 1 figures that rolled out in the beginning.

Um, what? BBTS has $4 flat rate shipping on anything, it is one of their main sales points and shown prominently on their main page.

Also I never said TFSource has $4 shipping (notice the word "or" in my orignal post). They have free shipping above a certain amount and allow you to keep a stack, so the option there is basically free shipping if you have other items in your stack already that would push you above whatever their threshold is ($150 I believe).

Looking at this, to me, it looks like the purple they used for the body is too dark and should have been the purple they used for the legs. The legs then should have been a lighter shade to wht we're getting.

Um, what? BBTS has $4 flat rate shipping on anything, it is one of their main sales points and shown prominently on their main page.

Yeah, but then they add the sales tax of the items on top of the shipping cost, upping it way above a mere $4.

So this is a combiner figure?

Thoughts on Lancer - I'm glad she's finally coming out (news breaks less than 2 days after I update my signature pic

)

Although she is somewhat different form the other female Autobots, it's still the same mold from what I can tell. I know a completely *new* figure would be nice, but at this point it would throw the symmetry of Orthia off. I find it odd that this is being released as a Selects, as opposed to an Amazon exclusive, but...whatever...I just hope she comes out sooner than later. Since that is an actual photo of the packaging as opposed to a digital render, would it be too much to hope we get this, maybe through Pulse as soon as SDCC sometime between Jul 18-22? That would be nice.

She looks nice! Very LOUD colours, but in a good way. As mentioned, rather G2-esque.

I still need to get the other members of Orthia besides Moonracer. Nova/Firestar and Elita should be easy enough, but Greenlight is only available on US Amazon for some ridiculous reason so she's going to be tricky. Argh.

We finally saw Transformers War for Cybertron Generations Select Lancer yesterday and by the end of the day, she was already available to order. You can get her right now at Robot Kingdom for $23.90 plus shipping. Her being out now, in China, means people have her in hand and are taking pictures. Below you will find many of them in her robot and alt mode (but not limb mode yet) from Yu's Hobby Land. For those unaware, this one is a combiner limb and the final component for the all fembot combiner started in Power of the Primes. She comes in the standard Generations Select box, as you can see in the images below.

Oh wow, that car mode is actually really nice in those colours. Gives me a sort of 70s muscle car/Dukes of Hazard vibe.

Actually that's awesome that RK has her in stock right now (not that I'm going to pay double price for shipping)...But that means Pulse should have her relatively soon.

"Special" maybe but not like TFCC. Those figures had way better paintjobs (as far as I remember).

What it made up in paint, it fell short in other departments.

And a $40-$50 deluxe from TFCC is very expensive regardless of paint. Plus you dont have to go to botcon or subscribe to anything to get this lancer figure. Anyone can just go online and purchase it.

Oh wow! This second batch of photos makes me feel better about the color scheme. It's loud and proud, and I like it!
anybody worried about consistency in quality on the application of the lip paint app? I feel like that could make this figure look ridiculous if the app isn't precise . Like a drunk poorly applying lipstick. :lol:

Looks like I'll be hawking Pulse as often as I can.

Assuming it isn't a case of sloppy paint I actually quite like the face- looks like she has full, pouty lips. Reminds me a little of Macross' Claudia LaSalle.

Maybe a future Targetmaster will be a lance especially as most of the Autobots' are melee weapons.

What's with that ice cream rainbow sprinkles/jimmies gun Lancer has? Does she only fire it at birthday parties?

Well, since I don't want to hunt her down, I just bought her on Robotkingdom. But honestly, between her and Greenlight, those two repaints have been pricy...Almost 100$ Canadian to get them both to complete the set...I'm still glad those characters got figures...just wished they at least would have gotten two differents molds.

The second round of pics makes Lancer look good. That sports team color scheme is really working. With her face paint, she's ready for a black light rave :DANCE:

I do wish she had her own weapon, but if they were going just choose one, Novastar's is the way to go! ;)^

Whelp, Pulse will be getting the old F5 a few times a day :-D

Not sure if it's just me, or does HP not really seem to be functioning well at all? For the past 2 days I can get the main page, but once I click any links, or try to search anything, it just sits and spins... (:|
