So if this Sideways is screen-accurate, does that mean in car mode he can split in half long ways? I mean, they did it with The Twins ice cream truck...

My thoughts exactly Funnily enough, that did get referenced in a canceled Multipack:

3 pretty dang good figures

Megatron is looking sharp in that premium paintjob!
This makes me want the Studio Series Starscream and Blackout even more!

[Sabrblade]

I didn't realize Megatron and Starscream were taller than the Blackout/Grindor mold, since everyone used to say that Blackout and Grindor were larger than Megatron and Starscream in the movies.

Megatron and Starscream are taller than Blackout at head height, but Blackout has the rotor assembly over his head that makes him (33’) taller than Starscream (31’) and a little shorter than Megatron (35’)

Grindor though is massive (50’)

While I don’t have 07 Megatron, both Starscream and Grindor are excellent. I’ve really enjoyed getting to revisit Starscream with the ROTF version!

Starscream and Blackout/Grindor also all have the backwards-knee thing going on too, so you can make the figures taller by extending the legs if you want Blackout/Grindor to have more of a height difference to get somewhat closer than that.

Greetings Seibertronians!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Omegatron, we've learned that UK toy seller, In Demand Toys has repealed the next two releases for Transformers Studio Series, Voyager Class Age of Extinction Galvatron and Voyager Class Bumblebee Thundercracker!

Thundercracker is a redeco of Voyager Class Bumblebee Thrust, and is the second of the Seeker Trio to be released in this style.









Galvatron is a completely new mold, and tries once more to bring the impossible transformation to the toy. In the film, the cgi model never transformed the traditional way, instead breaking into cubes and reforming into its robot mode.









Will you be picking these up?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

[Hellscream9999]

Galvatron looking pretty good all things considered, the scrunched up truck cab forming the torso reminds me of unique toys' design style.

[Starseeker]

Sweet! Thundercracker! Let's go! I love that seeker mold. Hopefully Skywarp next!

[Cheetron]

I don't know why, but I like the original galvatron better than this one. He just looks wrong. Yes, the backpack seems better than having the cab just be the back piece but... somethings off to me

[Rtron]

Wow, they did a very good job with Galvatron.

[ZeroWolf]

Honestly, I'm not sure what else they could have done.

Galvatron is one of those toys where a leader class slot may have allowed him to have a closer looking robot mode with more parts of the truck hidden.

Wasn't a criticism, I like they're design ideas, but I agree

[Solrac333]

Thundercracker is looking pretty good. LET'S ADD CHEAP LOOKING GRAY PLASTIC ON IT TOO!

Oh I know, I apologise if it came off sounding that way.

[Agent 53]

Galvatron doesn't look perfect, but he looks okay, besides, the AOE Decepticons were clearly nor designed with vehicle mode accuracy in mind, honestly some of the Autobots weren't much better, but the Decepticons in AOE dissolved into little fragments and reformed for their robot modes. unless Hasbro did a massive LEGO set for each one, they'd never be fully accurate.
At least the ruck cab is better integrated this time.

[o.supreme]

So if Thundercracker and Galvatron are 89and 90, I wonder what 87 and 88 are? One may be the leaked Sideways? Not sure about the other

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Galvatron does have some noodle arms, but I think he looks better on the back of the box render than the stock photo. Either way, I think he looks pretty good! Looks like they did a good job with the transformation, and the sculpted detail is on point!

We have to be seeing DOTM Bee really soon!

[TulioDude]

Thundercracker paint looks good!

Galvatron feels like he is very cool figure,he just need more high res/definition pictures to show that.

Day 854 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Now that almost all the Bumblebee movie bots are out of the way, I hope we get Core Class Dispensor one day. I know it's probably not going to happen, but the existence of the core class makes it a bit less implausible now. Also hoping for a tiny Frenzy to come packaged with someone, that one I think is way more likely.

That would rock. But i wonder if marketing costs (paying Mountain Dew) would make that figure cost-prohibitive...

I do too, as a toy. But the deco here is much better and the kibble is more integrated, rather than just being a flat backpack behind the figure. I think what I dislike here is how obvious all the pins are, he doesn't look like a cohesive robot.

[SpaceEagle]

The Galvatron looks good, all things considered. They obviously couldn't recreate the CGI mess of Transformium and at least he's a lot less of a shellformer than the previous AoE toy (without the super long legs, too.) plus the more silvery look is a lot better than the bare grey plastic we got previously.
I think they did a solid gold star's worth for the toy.

[Sabrblade]

(itself a retool of Bumblebee Blitzwing).

Not this again.

[Rodimus Prime]

Yeah, Galvatron should have been leader sized.
