Is it me or do the wheels sticking out of Bumblebee's "door wings" look wonky? Still can't wait to pick up him and Megs so I can complete my 2007 movie set Soundwave & Shockwave are definitely on my wish-list!!!

The wheels do stick out farther than other Bumblebees, yeah. If you angle the wings back a little more though it should help make it look better.

Shockwave is amazing. I wrote before I didn't like the early render enough to replace my old, custom painted Voyager Shockwave. My main issue was the blocky torso & shoulders. But these new In-Hand images completely changed my mind, I don't see the blockiness I saw in the renders anymore. NOW it's a worthy replacement to the old mold.

Wow, all 4 of those look amazing! I am super stoked for this wave!

Thanks to an update to the Transformers Weibo page we have new images of the upcoming Transformers Studio Series #52 Revenge of the Fallen three pack with Arcee, Elita-1, and Chromia! Included in the pictures is the 2009 release of the Mudflap and Skids Icecream truck for scale. Until we can get our hands on this unique and stylish three pack we'll have to keep ogling and imagining how many rubber bands and how much tape it will take to pull off your own triplet combiner fan mode. Will you be rounding up this team of the smallest Studio Series bots to date or is this an easy pass? Let us know in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

For a second I was hoping we'd be getting a new Skids and Mudflap Personally, I'm not going to be picking these girls up. Not a fan of the sizes, and the only way I would have grabbed them would have been if they combined

What's the blue thing on Arcee's shoulder?

Even with the innacurate chest,Megatron looks great.

Those Arcee sisters pack looks sweet.

either an alternate part/misassembly or, their is a combined mode and hasbro has been lying to us the entire time. Probably the former... still want them to combine though.

wow they are tiny. eesh

Each of them (or at least Arcee and Chromia) come with a removable weapon/piece thing.

I think they look really good, I might just be getting them. I'm hoping Reprolabels makes some stickers for the symbols on the sides of the bikes.

EDIT: Chromia's accesory is the blue sword-looking piece, which you can see in the background of that picture, so I'm not sure what that is on Arcee's shoulder either

Cool set, but i am done collecting the movie figures, i just don't like the scale it is all over the place. I will keep my movie MP's but other than that i am selling them all.

Bit off topic, but how does everyone rate Stinger? I managed to pick one up cheap and I feel thoroughly whelmed.

I never did get Stinger, but it's a retroactive want for me.

the Arcee sisters look great! I love this as a little legion 3-pack. it's a fantastic way to do them in scale.

I'm excited for this wave, it is looking fantastic!

Are you talking about vehicle scale? Robot mode scale has actually been set with the Studio Series (actually I'm hearing that AoE onwards has figures that work with the scale).

alt mode scale is a bit wonky, but the robot mode scales since AOE have pretty much been consistent. It's been pretty nice

He’s an average figure to me, nothing too special but nothing to hold him back either, and then there is the fact that he isn’t a major character, so he’s pretty much the equivalent of a glorified background character. But if you put him with a few of the KSI sentries, I get the feeling that he will pop out as a sort of vehicon general, so he has that going for him.

I'm undecided on whether I like him. The alt mode is great, and his head sculpt is surprisingly detailed. But, and normally I'm not one to really care about backpacks; my love for the POTP Rodimus mold is testiment to that, but like, Stinger's back is literally like a concave c-shape. It's so bizarre.

I agree, and vehicle scale has never been an issue for me with the toys.

Wow they are so tiny!

To be honest, I'd really want a voyager box with the two ice-cream twins. The 2009 deluxe that split into two scouts need to be updated badly. A very compressed "voyager" vehicle that would split into two normal sized "deluxes" using Animated Lockdown magic would be just perfect.

Except that's not in scale at all. A current deluxe that splits into 2 legends would work great and be in scale with the line to go with the 3 pack legion Arcees.

Even if they did the twins in their individual car modes, a deluxe 2 pack is probably the best way to go

However the ice-cream twins would be way too small as scouts. Unless they do some engineering magic to make the bot twins the same size as jazz.

They wouldn't be no. The Twins were half the height of Bumblebee, Jazz was still bigger than them by a fair margin. they were short and squat, they could be OK using legends engineering and properly scaled

In that case, the individual normal twins would be freakishly small. Jazz himself is a "deluxe" that is basically a scout. With the engineering needed to pull off the twins, the part count per figures would make them deluxe priced even though they would be scout sized. Plus they would be extremely annoying to transform due to the tiny parts.

Anyway, the twins will come one way or another. We just have to wait and see.
