He means the flesh part seen on the right side of the screenshot.

That's what I'm referring to; the hand is just touching the phone (where the screenshot is placed in). Maybe D-Maximus is just joking around.

Oh, I see now. It's a pic of a pic. We all thought it was a pic of just the packaged figure.

Ok, that makes sense. I was serious when I thought it looked small

I didn't.

I noticed the thumb and the phone 'frame'.

Everything looks pretty good on this figure, but the chest is crap! The pecs are way too spread apart making it look like his chest his open. I'm already having doubts about this, so that's not great. :SICK:

The chest might not be transformed properly. That, or it's meant to show the Matrix of Leadership like Battle Blades did.

Another Optimus, another cheat. Granted MP Movie Prime and Powermaster were legit with the windshield chest, but so many designers are just cheating the chest piece, and that singlehandedly makes it a pass for me.

How do you know it's a cheat chest?

It looks like actual windows and panels to me.

Wed Dec 20, 2017 6:56 pm

In truck mode, the window area is blue.

How can you even tell? That photo has horrible lighting and is low quality overall and you can't even see what color the windows are.

The chest still does not look fake at all not compared to say this.

Edit: I thought you meant the actual windows I see you mean the window frames or whatever their called I can see what you mean but Optimus Prime always has the red chest in robot mode

Look at the robot cgi and then the actual truck

Anyways it could also be a prototype on the set and the actual in package figure is the actual figure color, or the red parts sit under the blue if that makes any sense.

To me, it looks like a cheat in the same way Evasion Prime had a cheat that looked like legit windows. It almost looks like there is middle hinge in his chest. Maybe the arms and windows fold into each other?

We have a long and detailed list of most (if not all) of the figures set to be released in the upcoming Transformers Movie Studio Series. This expansive list covers the UPC codes, the product codes, and names of the figures. Some of the characters listed are quite surprising, and some potentially are codenames for other characters, similar to the way the Last Knight toyline was run. This will really be an interesting line to follow, as it’s quite unprecedented for a Generations/Thrilling 30-style line based on movie figures. This is thanks to Mr. Chaos over at TFW2005.

There better be a deluxe Hatchet among those code names. Reissue of tge deluxe Soundwave with silver paint would also be great.

Would be nice to also get Leadfoot, a proper armored deluxe Roadbuster and a release of that DOTM Blaster which was cancelled along with a Hasbro release of DOTM Skywarp.

Oh and Dino as well but that's not happening any time soon thanks to Ferrari.

Yeah it was on display at Hascon 2017 Prototype display (Which is probably why the colors are not perfect) I got the pic from TFwiki.

I agree with X, I really want Hatchet to be in that list. I also want the Leadfoot, armored Roadbuster, and Mirage to come from this line.

I was excited to see Ironhide's name there too

Update from this story:

TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES AST 20 DELUXE
TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES AST 30 VOYAGER
TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES AST 50 LEADER

News Credits: 4877 · Mon Jan 08, 2018 9:49 am

Voyager Megatron, from the upcoming 2018 Studio Series Transformers toyline, was one of the first toys we ever had solid proof of. We had a few images form Weibo but they were either small or blackened out in certain parts (as can be seen below). But now, we have the same image of the back of the box, also from Weibo, that shows the toy not obstructed by neither a black marker or a watermark, letting you get your best look yet at the figure.

For those unaware, this is a new voyager class figure of movie Meagtron in his Revenge of the Fallen body. It is part of the Studio Series line, a toyline that will feature Transformers from all across the different live action films, from the 2007 movie and even the newest Bumblebee movie. It also seems to be the way that Hasbro will be releasing the more traditional Transformers figures for the Bumblebee film instead of them appearing in a line just for that film. The 2018 Bumblebee movie line will instead feature the toys that are either simpler or gimmick based. Since Age of Extinction, Hasbro has tried to distinguish the toys that would interest collectors from the toys meant only for children and the Studio Series line will be used this time for this distinction. The figures should be at the same price points as the Transformers: The Last Knight Premier Edtion toys.

Enjoy the new image of Megatron below and let us know what you think!

Legit me right now with this new Megatron:

I can only hope that the 2007 design gets a redo of some kind too with some of the more modern engineering. This new one is awesome though and I can't wait to get my talons on it.

Thank you.

it's fun cos I also collect Mega Bloks/Construx stuff and often use them with my Transformers cos they're a good scale and there's two Futurama figures out now (only in US at moment and I'm in UK), one of which is Fry and he has the money as one of his accessories. I needs to get that as well as that Megatron.
