Hasbro’s Transformers Collectors’ Club has updated us with great pics of Seacon’s member Skalor! Along with the rest of the Seacons and TFCC Nightbeat, he will be released in later August/early September. Collectors’ Club members will have the chance to check out more of the set on Thursday and Friday when the members only page is updated with exclusive pics!

Man, I don't care what anyone says, my enthusiasm for these Seacons hasn't dampened one bit. Bring 'em on!

The second Seacon preview is up on the members only page. It's of Overbite.

Nothing would stop them giving Nautilator a God Neptune style recolor.
Edgewise
I certainly agree. The G1 colors do have their charm and I love them, but honestly they are a bit pastel/Easter colored. These colors have a lot of dark highlighted with some bright accents, much more "bad"/evil/threatening looking. The God Neptune color scheme is a nice idea, but really it's poorly executed, lacking almost any detail: not the G1 stickers and not the the more detailed paint apps/sprays/washes on the Universe/Club/Classic version.

I love these colors so much more than the original release. I might be in the minority, but these figures look fantastic together.
Railguard
Huh, the original colors would have been nice, I agree.
Johnator
I like it but the original colors would have been better.

Its supposed to be an intentional misquotation of some latin phrase.

But…God Neptune's got no Nautilator. And, you can probably find the Japanese release somewheres.
I dunno…I'd like to get a God Neptune, too, actually. I've got a spare Nautilator that I could repaint, but his color scheme's sorta…blah.
This release isn't quite the full-on psychedelic assault of the originals, but it's heart is in the right place, anyhow.

wish they would give the u.s. god Neptune i like him better

Can't wait to get the seacons

It means Skalor's been drinking, near as I can tell.
The toy does look great, though. I like the G1 colors better, but since I already have the original, I'm looking forward to having this new scheme, too.
So, that shading on his scales…to show how filthy Skalor is? If so, that's fantastic.

If these Seacons were new characters I would get them. Since they are the old characters, I will wait for the Encore release in G1 colors.
Beastbot X
I was sort of half-expecting them to use that, as well. Eh, Skalor fits the toy better anyway.
Jarodimus
Aw, man. I was hoping he'd still be "Archerbot"!
EDIT: Y'know, what the hell DOES his quote mean? "Though doubt may be imperfect…"? Bwuh?
MagnusPrimal
I'm hoping for an Encore release of these as well.
Kaijumaster
You know, Even though I personally have no interest in this release, I'm glad for all the people who have waited for so long and now get to add this to thier collections.
keebs
^ What he said.
microclone
im hoping that this could lead to an eventual encore release.

I'm also glad they're getting the stands, colouring's a bit 'unusual', but I'm a sucker for Seacons.
I've avoided joining the club as the overseas rates are extortionate, but may do so to pick these up.
