Wave 8 (Wave 4 of this year):
Deluxe: AOE Junkheap, Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Sideways, Loader
Voyager: Blitzwing, Ironhide
Leader: Megatron and Frenzy.

Wave 9 (Wave 1 2020)
Deluxe: WWII Hot Rod, TLK Barricade, RotF Bumblebee, AOE Junkheap, TFBB character (Jeep Bee or Jet Shatter)
Voyager: RotF Optimus (v2), RotF Scrapper
Leader: DotM Shockwave, RotF Scavenger

For full disclosure, the tweets were in Chinese and we wete told that they translate to what a fan is wishing those waves to contain.

I saw these lists on Instagram, with the creator saying these were based on his "own algorithm", aka not even slight confirmation of anything.

God he’s just one beautifully ugly son of a glitch ain’t he. What a monster of a robot.

So apparently i did order the other Starscream (21) the other day with the ones i just got. it got lost in the mail i guess but should get today.

He is spectacular. I cannot stress enough how good he is! Rampage is awesome!

I'm waiting for him to show up again in the Twin Cities area, along with SS-38 Bumblebee Optimus Prime. I saw them briefly a few months ago, but I didn't bite because I was saving up for a trip. Now all I can find for the Studio Series in the Voyager scale are Bonecrusher and Battle Damaged Megatron.

Funny, considering Rampage seems to be shelf warming in my area. No sign of SS-38, so I might as well quit looking. I don't want to go through the trouble of ordering online either, so I guess this is it for me :/

Its too early to call a toy shelfwarming. It's the latest voyager, I would hope he's on the shelf available for purchasing. Prime is simply more popular, no surprise there.

And D-Max, I do like Rampage, but he isnt my favourite voyager. I think I even preffer Bonecrusher simply for that lovely transformation that flips him around the axis. I also love Voyager Stasrcream, that might be the best voyager of the line so far in my opinion.

Yeah, at this time, Rampage is simply moving slower than a very popular wavemate. That ain't shelfwarming.

And Starscream and Bonecrusher are really good. Bonecrusher is my favorite movie Con, and Screamer is really fun. But Rampage is just so solid and big and imposing and well painted! He really stands out compared to the others.

I'll be honest with you guys and gals - I'm old and stubborn. When RotF came out, I was sore and bitter about it. And I still resent some wasted opportunities. At the time I could not warm up to the designs.

I'm telling you right now though, Studio series is really turning me around. I'm finding new love and appreciation for these designs. I mean Rampage is just gruesome. And I've mentioned this elsewhere I know but Shockwave's one eye, Omega Supreme with his claw hand, Sky Lynx being so weird and Trypticon being a dinosaur I just have always loved when there's a unique odd ball design that shows off how diverse they can be as a species.

Rampage epitomizes so much of that quality with his huge arms and claws and a jackhammer for a foot and the whips too it's like just...I think I get extra romantic when I wasn't expecting to like a TF but as often happens they win me over.

My childhood's butt is still sore about what Michael Bay did to it with ROTF.

Starscream (21) is in...not bad. pretty nice and detailed.

Bumblebee was really the salve. And I’m telling ya gang if you’re in the fence about Prime 38 it’s the best Prime rifle in my collection it’s almost worth it just for that alone but it’s such a good figure. Now THAT is movie Optimus Prime!

You can’t hear it but I’m doing a total Optimus voice while I say that too...that Prime 38 is made of sterner stuuuuff. Brrr, goosebumps

I can enjoy rotf as a bad movie, like plan 9 from outer space or troll 2. Unlike DotM which just bored me.
One thing I do love though is the designs from rotf like the constructions and Jet Power Prime, and under used bots like Jolt

Finally figured out who Rampage reminds me of

That's Phsyco, part of the Toon Patrol in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? !

I loved those guys, and the movie was awesome.

I dunno if I would say that's who Rampage is supposed to be, but I like the way you think, so you do you

Hahaha no no I doubt he was based in any way off that - just with the treads flailing about I just thought of that type of character the nutty henchman who's in the straight jacket unstrapped at the sleeves. I mean I think that's been used elsewhere before in other cartoons and things like that. Straight jacket humor - who doesn't love it right?

The night I aged myself with Roger Rabbit, wow.

Okay, now I'm basing the Constructicons off the villains of Who Framed Roger Rabbit Least they'll get personality now

Interestingly, Devy himself (rotf version) always reminded me of Gluttony from Full Metal Alchemist/Brotherhood. Especially when he fully opens his mouth...

See I’m lost but my daughter totally knew that reference I know FMA but not all the characters intimately. Anyone younger who grew up with the TF movies realize we didn’t have that exquisite CW Devy yet so this being the big Devy tribute was like barf what the hell is this? Now with years behind me I just see a Frankenstein’s monster of a robot you know? I can appreciate it way more with perspective and the great design work on these really helps too. I’ll be honest ever since they gave him balls it just, yeah, I couldn’t get past that. Want to talk about setting tone? Wow. That set it alright.

Crap, it just dawned on me. You know we'll be getting 3rd party balls in our future now, wont we?

And the stupid juvenille in me well be tempted, won't I?

I'd like to imagine we won't... But given the seedier 3rd party groups, maybe? I just know that I'm glad the official version won't have them
