Great reviews guys!

Still, I only really want 5 figures so far from this line: Jazz, Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Grimlock. Limited space and interest. I got rid of so many Movie figures, I will only keep and get the ones that I like the most.

Thanks, Yeah I'm not really sure why I did those.

And there's too much of a change between Bee's 2nd and 3rd pics and not enough between the 3rd and 4th but oh well.

Been there, done that. Next time resist the urge to hit back and hit reload/refresh instead, it should resend the same information.

It's weird cos normally when I click back, it's saved that info just in case of such a problem but it didn't this time. Maybe something's gotten disabled in my browser. Will look it up laters.

Nice. Only a few figures shown but I like the focus on the backdrops. Think all TF toys could use those as a cheap extra. All them G1 MP toys could have used backdrops from the episodes their accessories are mostly based on like Hot Rod's could have a reversible one of the sharkticon pit where he uses the saw or the lake where he and Daniel fish for a nice constrast.

The backdrops are a nice touch and I hope they are reused as we go forward

Yes, like the flight stand ports on most of the mainline figures over the past five years or so. I like making use of those for some dramatic posing.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have news that the Transformers: Studio Series has joined the ranks of toy lines such as Combiner Wars and The Last Knight that have gotten a commercial! The new commercial, uploaded by Hasbro's Youtube page, gives us a 16 second look into the line featuring clips of Bumblebee transforming up close for the first time on screen in his 1977 Camaro body in the 2007 movie, and Optimus Prime's forest fight from Revenge of the Fallen, seeing both merge into the backdrop that comes with each figure and then the toy itself.

You can check out this new commercial below, and let us know what you think of the new line, with all the cool and interesting new takes on the old movie characters we love, below!

Thanks to Weibo user 赛博坦之声88 via a retweet from sponsor TFsource, we have some new in-hand images of the wave 2 deluxe Jazz figure! These new images show the toy from the front, side, and rear, clearly showing us his kibble as well as how his design will work. Jazz has had only 3 molds, dating back several years, which included a less than stellar Legion figure, a decent but very limited deluxe, and a killer human alliance figure that many consider to be the ultimate movie Jazz figure.

How does this new figure appear to stack up to those 3? Are you going to be adding him to your collection? Let us know in the comments section below!

Time to wait for more images and see if he'll be shorter than the Deluxe Bee of the line. If he is, then I hope Hasbro makes a trilogy style Bumblebee (either MV1, ROTF, or DOTM) that's the same height as TLK Bee since it'd be taller than SS Bee.

Might grab this. maybe.

News Credits: 101 · Mon Apr 02, 2018 8:42 pm

That car roof backpack is lazy as hell. But heh, deluxe. I will still grab that Jazz though. May be the only deluxe of the entire line that I'll get.

Now, to wait for MPM Jazz and see if it can beat the amazing HA version.

FanJAZZtic.

And consistent with Jazz's other big toys. It's a curse he just can't break.

That's why I'm looking forward the MPM version. It WILL come, I'm pretty sure.

I haven't had much interest in MPMs, but I'd buy the absolute heck out of an MPM Jazz.

I bet an MPM Ironhide we get a MPM Jazz before a MP G1 Jazz

Betting on that too. Porshe licence can be a bitch to get.

Mon Apr 02, 2018 10:56 pm

The backpack makes me kinda not want him, but I've dealt with worse so I do still want him. Just wish they could've done something to make it look better, like do a bit of folding like the original deluxe.

News Credits: 56 · Mon Apr 02, 2018 11:30 pm

He looks better than I thought he did! Backpack could have been managed better but overall it's still a decent Jazz to get! Only thing I've been waiting for is an MPM Jazz and this fills the gap for now, IMO ;)^

News Credits: 19 · Tue Apr 03, 2018 12:02 am

Backpack looks acceptable to me. It's fairly flat and that's good. The figure itself looks a lot of fun and a nice improvement over the 2007 Deluxe (which I still like even with it's weird arms but yay this one can actually hold things in it's hands!). A definite purchase for me.

He sorta looks like he's saluting in that photo and it's sorta adorable.
