Oh my god I love the bumblebee figure and the crowbar figure
But I am in so much love with the Stinger figure I can’t wait

No painted rims = no purchase.


**** out of here with that bullshit, Hasbro.

While we're currently still in the thick of the New York Toy Fair Hasbro Panel, pop culture website Kotaku has published an article with even more information on the upcoming first wave of deluxes from the Transformers Studios Series! Featuring the official product scans of Stinger, Bumblebee, Crowbar, and Ratchet, as well as some additional stock photos and some descriptions of what background displays each figure comes with. Take a look at all of the new images mirrored below, as well as quoted excerpts from the Kotaku article. Let us know in the energon pub forums if these scans have affected your opinions on the figure, and let us know if you'll be picking these figures up!

UPDATE: You can actually order these figures now from the Transformers website!

Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all the latest news coming out of New York Toy Fair!

Bumblebee transforms from robot to car and back again in 22 steps, which is a good number of steps for a figure aimed at collectors. He comes with a police chase backdrop, so you can relive the time he and Barricade went wheel-to-wheel.

Ratchet only has 18 steps to his transformation, but he makes up for it with heart. Not a human heart. Or maybe yes. He is an emergency response vehicle, maybe he’s got a cooler in the back, just in case Sam Witwicky needs a transplant against the backdrop of the Mission City Battle scene.

I don’t recall (Crowbar's) story, if he had one. I can make my own story with the High Speed Chase scene backdrop that comes in his package. I’m eager to find out how he goes from SUV to Predator robot in only 20 steps.

(Stinger) transforms in 21 steps, comes with four weapon accessories and his backdrop is a Hong Kong Pursuit scene, which sounds colorful.

Hey, as for that Thundercracker that'll be a Nitro retool, didn't a code show up in TRU computers a while ago mentioning a Thundercracker?

[Lunatic Prime]

LOCKDOWN looks just f***ing awesome.

[Bronzewolf]

We're reporting live from the floor of New York Toy Fair, and have a new round of images of the Transformers Studio Series figures to share! The Studio Series has been the most talked about line of the morning, going from leaks, to official renders, to, now, a full display!

The stand reveals the Wave 1 Deluxes we've already seen, but also shows off characters like Lockdown, Jazz, and Starscream, plus Brawl and Grimlock. Take a look down below, and tell us in the energon pub if you'll be looking to buy any of these figures in the future! Also make sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest news from the show floor of New York Toy Fair!

Oh man, talk about exciting! These Studio Series figures look amazing! And thank you for providing the link to ordering them! I grabbed Stinger just in the nick of time. He's going to look great on my shelf!

[Quantum Surge]

Everything is looking good so far, but Optimus looks a bit mistransformed, doesn't he? And Blackout doesn't seem too big. Maybe the stock photos will look better. Everything else though is looking nice.

[Va'al]

Updated!

[ZeroWolf]

That Grimlock looks awesome

[shajaki]

Everything looks pretty $#@!ing amazing. Except... I'm not sure I'm digging Blackout. I don't like his solid feet, the original (Premium) might stick around, it's always been one of my favorite movie molds.

Also Ratchet needs some paint. Takara to the resc.... oh wait

[shajaki]

HOLY! THAT GRIMLOCK

[ToaLeePrime]

Heaveeen, I'm in heaveeen.

I'm thinking I'll be getting every deluxe from this line!

[partholon]

im not a fan of the movie aesthetic but sweet JESUS that grimlock figure !

i cant belive on a day we get the reveal of predaking its a movie line fig im more jazzed for.

[Quantum Surge]

I just noticed that Optimus has some flame stickers peeling off of him. It seems Starscream doesn't have any stickers, so will the flames on Optimus be tampos on the final release?

[Va'al]

Also via the official Facebook Transformers page, we have some official renders for the figures revealed today at New York Toy Fair 2018 from the movie verse Studio Series line, part of the wider Generations monicker.

The series includes mostly known names and characters, but in the specifics, we have: Leader class Blackout, and Grimlock; Voyager Brawl, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Starscream; Deluxe class everyone else Bumblebee, Crowbar, Ratchet, Lockdown, Jazz and Stinger. Check it all out below, and be ready for some more detailed images from the New York Toy Fair Hasbro showroom as the day continues, here at Seibertron.com!

[Ironhidensh]

These things will be available in stores soon. What kind of desperate idiot is just going to jump online and buy some?


*goes and jumps online and buys some*

[Cybertronius Primus]

Will Hasbro toy shop ship these to the UK just I really want that bee.

[Hellscream9999]

Theses look so gorgeous, cannot believe these are gonna be no more after the bee movie

Lockdown and megs are day 1 buys for me, stinger looks weird, and not at all like his art... Think I might swing for brawl and jazz too

[MaverickPrime]

Ooooooh, nice! I think I want most of the line! But c'mon, that's not Voyager Starscream, that's the DOTM Deluxe upscaled! He's almost identical, the only diference being better articulated arms and a less hollow chest!

[Munkky]

This line has got me well and truly interested in movie toys again, the only thing here I don't like is Voyager Optimus. It's a shame Ratchet is only a Deluxe, I would have liked a Voyager, but I'll still get it. I'm also picking up Blackout, Brawl, and possibly 76 Camaro Bumblebee if I can't find the TLK version of the mould for a good price.

[Ironhidensh]

Seriously though, why did Bumblebee get painted rims and nobody else?

[Hellscream9999]

Seriously though, why did Bumblebee get painted rims and nobody else?

Maybe he's going to look like that at some point in the bb movie, so they gave him a larger budget on the premise that he'll be used across two movie lines? Or maybe they gave him special treatment as the figure-head for this line? Or maybe he had budget left over due to not getting as many updated parts as everyone else?

Our Toy Fair 2018 coverage continues with the gallery for Transformers Studio series. You can find more information about the Studio series here from the official reveals, some shots from on the floor, and details on it from Hasbro's Panel Presentation about the upcoming line from their panel earlier in the day on Saturday February 17th, 2018.
