Ok not gonna lie, although you were sarcastic but I do think this idea is pretty cool. You being able to take out parts from Scrapper (or was it Scrapmetal? jeez the names are so confusing), transform those parts and put them on 2007 Megatron to create ROTF Megs.

Third party hands arrived for Blackout. The hands on the figure as standard were one of the biggest problems I found with the figure but I'm much happier with the figure as a whole now he can do basic gestures and hold some stuff. He wasn't one of my faves but now has earned some bonus points now he can swivel the wrists and has a couple joints in each digit. Only cost £12 including delivery and clip on easy enough so no modding required and they look fine in alt-mode (from the video reviews I've seen as I've never actually bothered to transform Blackout but now I'm likely to play with and pose him more I may do so).

Crappy hand


New hands


New hand attached


Much better poser

Where did you get those hands?

Ig89ninja wrote:Where did you get those hands?

There are many chinese sellers of it on eBay. Was listed as "Shockwave Lab 3D Mass SL-28 Posable hands for Studio Series 08 Blackout"

This was the one I bought from (so can vouch I got it with no problems and arrived in just under 11 days to me in the UK):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shockwave-Lab- ... :rk:1:pf:0

For some reason I couldn't find those items on ebay.co.uk even though the sellers ship to the UK. I found on ebay.com (which I don't have an account on) then changed the .com bit to .co.uk in the address bar and the same page then loaded up fine in the UK site so I could use my account and buy them. I had watched a video review of the hands on youtube and thought I'd have a go as the standard hands bugged the hell out of me and the improved KO's were too big and/or too expensive and I just wanted to improve my already owned Blackout. I'm very happy with this purchase. Sorry if it should be in third party forum but as it directly upgrades an official Studio Series product I thought it might be ok to be in here. Apologies if I'm wrong.

...well, since nothing else seems to be happening, any early predictions/hopes for Toy Fair reveals?
My Expectations: official looks at Hightower, KSI Boss, retail Drift, DotM Prime, BB movie Prime (because he STILL has yet to be properly shown), any other voyager figures if KSI Boss is in the same wave as Long Haul

My Hopes: Jolt, reveals of more of the Constructicons, WW2 Hot Rod, Blitzwing and/or Acid Storm (with Blitzwing having his Earth alt mode while Acid Storm goes full tetrajet)

I thought I had killed this topic. :/


My hopes?
2007 Concept Camaro Bee - Been watching the 2007 film again and I REALLY a new toy of that despite how many Bees are in the line already. It's the most iconic one. I'd like it very much like the MPM version but Studio scale. Obviously would have to simplify a few things for size and durability (but please keep the collar pieces, I like those a lot and no deluxe has them as far as I can recall. Don't even have to be so separated as long as paint is used to make it appear so)
DotM Optimus Prime with trailer
Sentinel Prime
2007 Megatron
Dino/Mirage/whatever
DotM Soundwave (somewhere between the old Deluxe and HA figures would be cool. He's by far my fave Soundwave design in any TF, a small Laserbeak would be cool but not if it eats too much into Soundwave's budget and has them cutting the paint or something)
Shockwave (I was fine with the DotM figure but after seeing some awesome non-transforming figurines of him I'd like another go)
Roadbuster, Topspin and Leadfoot
Sideways
more of the Dinobots
RotF Sideswipe (the new figure looks great but I far prefer the car with the roof, though not sure where that would go in robot mode)
Jolt
Que
Skids & Mudflap

And probably not happen but I'd really like:
A pack of tiny figures including humans such as Sam, Mikaela, Lennon, Cade etc, and small bots like Frenzy, Sqweeks (with Izzy), a human scaled Cogman (with Burton), Laserbeak (if not with Soundwave) and a much smaller 2007 Arcee (probably never happen cos they'll do RotF Arcee and her sisters instead)


I know we've had some mini-figures already coming with larger figures such as Igor (with DotM Megs), Charlie (with that odd choice of Bumblebee), Scorponok (with Blackout) and the mini-Dinos (with Drift) so yeah I'd like more please. I still have RotF Legends Ravage which is nice so not in need of a new one there unless they do something extra nice.

Seiberton.com member Riley Hoffman has informed us that TonTon Review has just published on YouTube their latest Transformers Studio Series video review. This time, it's the upcoming Deluxe Class Cogman as featured in the Transformers: The Last Knight film from 2017. This release in the Studio Series is a repaint of the same mold that was released in 2017 under the "Premier Edition" line accompanying The Last Knight film. TonTon gives the usual overview, covering size comparisons in alternate and robot modes, sculpted and painted details, and conversion from licensed Aston Martin DB11 into robot and back. Perhaps the most interesting part of the video, though, is the direct comparison in robot mode between the new Studio Series version of Cogman and the previous Premier Edition. The Studio Series offering is extensively painted with metallic silver in both vehicle and robot mode, with key details picked out in gold paint. The previous release opts for more muted metal gray tones and black washes to emulate wear and age in robot mode, as seen on screen. Check out the full video below.



What do you think of this upcoming offering from the Studio Series line? Did you miss out on Cogman the first time around? Is the flashy new paint job for the Studio Series release enough to get you to upgrade from your Premiere Edition Cogman? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

Yep. I am upgrading. Sold my TLK Cogman cos I want that shiny.

Never even seen the original. I'll take it!

Studio series has so much going on i I forget guys like this is coming out. I’ll snag him when I see him

Who else is in Cogman's wave? Shatter, Rampage, and Bumblebee movie Optimus?

How are we sure it's not an exclusive?

notirishman wrote:Never even seen the original. I'll take it!

I am tempted because as others have said, I never even saw the original one, and I like that it has compatibility with TR. This furthers my thinking however that TLK Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leader Class were basically a *Proto SS* line. Hopefully though, not every toy released in TLK 2017 will end up with shiny repaints and details in the SS line, unless it is 3-4 years form now, in which case they have exhausted all other characters form the first four films, and are coming full circle.

A year after it's initial release it will be a Ross exclusive just like the TLK Premier version.


I was going to wait for the slick and shiny SS version, but I stumbled upon TLK Cogman at Ross and just couldn't pass up the price. I may upgrade though. The SS version looks very nice and it's a really cool mold.

You know, now that I think about it...In terms of *the ending of* the Studio Series line...Since Hasbro has apparently have accepted the challenge of attempting a movie-accurate RotF Devastator, I think the best way they can finish the line is with a Movie Accurate Dragonstorm made of 12 Deluxe Knights of Cybertron

I'm buying this. Prefer the cleaned up look of the SS version just like in the movie scene at the beginning of the preview.

Parting with my TLK opener (which I luckily never opened ) and presentation one. Up for sale/trade here: from-my-holiday-season-finds-t112590.php Really good price so first come, first served ...

I'd rather a satisfying steelbane first...

I find the current one pretty cool, in bot mode at least. There a slightly improved OS KO as well.

OMG YES PLEASE THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!! And no doubt it will be a DAMN HUGE figure if the Knights are in scale with the other SS Figures, but I think that makes it better as there will be much room for attention to the details (especially the "spikiness" of Dragonstorm").

To be honest, the only figure I'm REALLY looking forward to and have high hopes of is 2007 Megatron (please be Leader Class). If they nail this, well PRAISE THE ALLSPARK! But if they mess it up well screw 'em. Devastator is second in my list of expectations for Toy Fair reveals.

I actually liked his beast mode, but I just couldn't bring myself to drop that kind of money on a figure so mired in such widespread problems

I have no interest in a Transformer figure for a character that never transformed.

Dunno about Hound. I got the TLK voyager cheap in a store before christmas and he's actually too big for Studio Scale. He should be the same size as Ironhide (who is a lil big for Studio Scale himself but that's what he got and he's a great figure despite that and the front bumper) but he towers over him unless you squat his legs considerably. Fun toy though.

And of course Deluxe Sqweeks is ridiculously too large for anything. I have him but he exists as a fun toy all of his own (with sometimes Link from Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds riding him in moped mode) And leader class Prime and Megatron are way too big, the voyager figures are fine (and better in my opinion anyways. And TLK Bee is probably too large but he's in the Studio line anyways in a double pack so yeah...

I've got a super cheap 2nd hand Steelbane coming today (or Monday depending on my local postie). Was £5 including postage but I felt bad about it being so cheap so gave the seller an extra couple of pounds. Any loose joints on the figure I can fix up easily. I'm not fussed about the alt-mode, I just really like the knight-style robot mode.

so this one i just a repaint.

Is this the first SS figure to only be a repaint and not a new mold or remold?
