I'm hopeful of this as well, but another option is if it can somehow attach to Mixmaster in robot mode since the colors should match better.

That'd be acceptable, though I'd still prefer it be Overload for the sake of convenience.

I mean, isn't that what's so great about having combiners this good? You can check out the combined mode and judge for yourself whether it's for you or not, and if you're not into it, you have 8 independently great figures to display instead

I agree, but in this case I want to have Devastator displayed because, well, its Devastator. But I also really like the look of these individual modes, so I'm very conflicted, especially as I cannot afford to double dip on every character (going to get Skipjack to replace Rampage).

It's not like you can't take them apart and/or put them back together. If you want to display them separately one day and combined the next, all that stands in your way is the time it takes to transform the toys.

Agreed with this, part of the fun of combiners is taking them apart and putting them back together, change up the display monthly or weekly or so.

Gotta say, a lot of people were wrong about Stinger. I am still really loving him, i really enjoy him and am super glad I got him eventually

Stinger is still to this day my favorite SS Deluxe figure, I am glad to see I'm not the only one to give him the appreciation he deserves.

Oh yeah, I guess I never commented it, but Overload and Scrapper are instant buys for me, and the Constructicon hype made me grab Rampage for 25% off on Amazon (I'm calling him Whiplash though).

I already posted this in my State Sighting Forum but wanted to share on here. Spotted #49 Bumblebee, #50 Hotrod, #51 Soundwave, and #52 Arcee, Chromia, Eliza-1 at a Walmart in Virginia. First time for me seeing them in any store. I only picked up #50 Hotrod.
Not sure how relevant of a find it is compared to other states. I know they have been available on select websites for some time, i think but again, just sharing.

So just got and opened wave 8 voyagers and damn are they awesome. Something that I noticed with megatron was how heavy he is. He is a brick! Mixmaster is awesome aswell, 5 down, 3 left! So happy to finally have them both. Now I just need wave 8 leaders! Hopefully i can find them this weekend.

This was brought up in another thread last month, but I am here to say it now: the new SS Bumblebee is the best Deluxe Bumblebee figure we have gotten.

I love this toy. He is really solid, accurate, fun, and spot on. He is so much fun to pose around and to play with, and the aesthetic is wonderful. This to me is the best of the best deluxe Bumblebees

Very nice! Can’t wait to get Mixmaster, Ironhide and him have a score to settle!

Agreed! The advancements with this mold are nuts, the compressed chest, posable wings, and the bulked up arms are all great. I do want to see a DOTM remold but honestly this one is so good I wouldn’t be mad if that didn’t happen.

Sorry that this Bee’s been the only thing I’ve been posting recently, it’s just Bee and Hightower with me right now. Hopefully there’ll be some new bots in soon to shake things up!

I found Mixmaster earlier this week and he might just have taken the top or 2nd spot! The cement truck mode is so very solid and he passes the roll test too (which is important damnit!). The thing that still remains to be seen is if you can kinda flip the drum sections out in combined mode to help fill out the back neck/head area. Only problem is Overloads vortex grinder add on piece might disallow?

That's what I'm talking about! :michaelbay:

Sentinel's been one of my most wanted figures for a while now - I think it looks really good so far! It's hard to tell what accessories he comes with, but I think I can see the shield on the right side there.

Sentinal looks good so far, I'm hoping he gets fully revealed at Toy Fair. But now waiting is going to be harder. :lol:

Thanks to our own D-Maximal_Primal we've learned about an image of what appears to be Studio Series Sentinel Prime posted to Twitter via user Weebot17. Although there has been no official statement regarding a Sentinel Prime coming from the Studio Series line this appears to be quite official. Shout out to fellow Seibertronians LinaNui and Hellscream9999 for letting us know about the same image found over on Instagram which you can find HERE:

Given the current scaling it is likely Sentinel will be a leader class but there doesn't appear to be clear indication on the box. With a Leader class Dark of the Moon Megatron, and a Voyager class 2007 and Revenge of the Fallen Megatron, it's possible he could be a large Voyager; let the debate begin. Now your Dark of the Moon final battle scene will be complete! Be sure to share your thoughts in the forum and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Definitely cannot wait to see more photos of him in both modes.

Something to look forward to in deed!

Looks good from what I can make out so far. Wonder if they're gonna do a Fallen figure for the studio and MPM lines? Any word if Sentinel will get an MPM version?

News Credits: 48 · by **Nemesis Primal** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 7:00 pm

I thought we already knew for a fact Sentinel would be a Voyager from the leaked listings, plus him being 61 places him in the same Voyager wave as Scrapper, so I'm not sure why the article seems to be written with uncertainty.

His facial hair looks VERY prominent.

I mean, he did pull off the most actual deception in the movie, so it makes sense, and I doubt at this point anyone who wants that figure doesn't already know that about his character.

Shoot I didn't realize he'd been listed somewhere previously that's my bad. Hence the uncertainty. Also why I wasn't sure of the size class.

Kind of a surprise to see this package shot, but with next week being toy fair, shouldn't be too surprised, hope he gets revealed.

Traitorous scum, that Sentinel though. ugh the character I have the strongest antagonistic feelings towards in all of Transformers.

On another note, WWII Hot Rod and Bumblebee continue to be a wonderful pair. They are ok apart, but really good together. I love them both together so much!

I'm happy I got my Hotrod, looking forward to pairing him up with Bee, just like you have them.

It's how they were meant to be, they pair up really well, better than almost any other pair of TFs i have

Agree!

I wonder if the shield on this Sentinel will form part of the alt. Mode like on the DOTM Cyberverse figure, that’d be neat. Looking forward to more images soon!
