I have watched the '86 Movie many times, but I don't remember Steeljaw having a giant speaker on his back; like, ever. Is it just supposed to represent the comm tower that the Decepticons were trying to destroy during the "battle of the cassettes" scene?

It's one of the two that Blaster uses sometimes.

Are we considering Pulse exclusives to be Selects for this thread? Because Straxus is *great* Awesome. I am so happy.

That was a thought that crossed my mind but looking him up as far as I can tell Flame has Red hands always.

-ZacWilliam, Scrounge has yellow hands but seems too small for a leader box. i wish it would be a good Scrounge. Dream toy for me.

I can't really see who else that shoulder pad could be, and they pretty much confirmed on the stream that it was a relatively obscure character.

There was also a rumour that it might be a Flame/Xaaron two pack.

Xaaron would be my pick, given the release of Straxus. Would certainly fit with general theme, unless it's a repaint of somebody like Blaster.

Why are we in the Selects thread?
Because Straxus, and the comic mini line, is an online exclusive thing?

Not our fault people can't stick to certain threads for certain subjects :p

And we see that it is a light Purple as I thought, and not pink as the studio lights made it seem in his reveal.

Losing the clear plastic kinda sucks. I get that it wasn't accurate to anything, but ditching it takes away some of the spectacle of this piece.
I'm okay with it being opaque, but that bright light shade is (to use a fairly unpopular term) pretty neon looking. The translucent teal on the first release was a much nicer looking shade, deeper and richer in color tone.

It's like Armada Unicron. The clear plastic with all the glittering details underneath is a bit of a cheat. It helps sell the appearance of being this gargantuan thing. Switching to opaque plastic kills the effect.

In fairness, this toy doesn't need help looking huge. It is huge. It lost something though.
