Scrap Metal and Rampage, will those be standalone figures do we think, or is it possible we are seeing the first look at a possible SS Devy?

SS Leader Jetfire.
Hmmmmmmmmmm............ :-?

Let's hope it can partform to hell and back so that he can combine perfectly with SS Optimus.

Ss jetfire prime combination...whelp, I need in on that. Wouldn't it be crazy if the costructicons could all combine? Though demolisher may be impossible due to scale issues

I'm going to guess "Character B" is Shatter since she isn't on the list anywhere.

That was my first thought as well.

Voyager Rampage? The red one that we see in ROTF wasn’t that much bigger than Bumblebee. . . Maybe he has to be voyager-sized to form a leg for Devastator?

Super excited to see these figures though! Aren’t we supposed to be getting some reveals soon?

So we have heard of rumors of Hightower, Rampage, and Scrapmetal, PLEASE TELL ME WE’RE GETTING A NEW DEVASTATOR!!! Also, it would be cool if the made it modular so that Demolisher could replace Scavenger and Bonecrusher could replace Overload

...oh yeah, that'd probably make way more sense than a bunch of the possible characters I listed. I really should stop posting in response to new stuff after midnight...

Studio Series Devastator confirmed :michaelbay:

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:01 am

Guys how big would demolisher have to be to fit in to a scale set by the ss releases we have?

I am very underwhelmed by most of the Studio Series. They look and feel too cheap.

Depend which one. Many deluxes do not feel "premium" at all. But so far, I think the line is killing it with the voyagers and leaders so far. Thundercracker and Grimlock being shiny examples.

Bonecrusher HATES waiting for updates!

News Credits: 7 · by **Bucky** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 1:15 pm

Super excited about these. The confirmation for Voyager Bonecrusher is great news, and I had only been hoping that we’d see a Rampage somewhere down the line. His design is so unique that I wouldn’t mind if they did a red and a yellow version. It looks like I’m in the minority on the boards though, because I sincerely do not want combining Constructicons. There’s a lot of movie designs that I’ve come 180 on over the years, but Devastator isn’t one of them. However, I love the individual bots designs, and I really don’t want to see them compromised by a combining gimmick. On an individual level, the figures always wind up being poorer for it. I am a little,puzzled as to why Rampage is a voyager, but Scrapper is a deluxe?

On a less pessimistic side, it’s so reassuring to see that Has/Tak recognizes that this particular line has such potential. There’s still a large number on on screen characters left to tackle. Here’s hoping that they get to most of them. I wouldn’t mind some more Decepticon cannon fodder, so long as they’re new molds. I feel like if they make a Shockwave, then that two headed Decepticon based on his form would be a given. I’m also banking on them doing the rest of the Dinobots, but, you know....good. With nice screen accurate paint jobs, and somewhat more in scale. SS Grimlock is great, and I love my AoE Scorn and Strafe, but I want to fill out the rest of the Dinobots.

The last listing, the new character with the larger price tag, has be really curious. Going by the price, it’s safe to assume that it’s larger than leader class, right? Or else there’s something more to it than just a largish figure.

do you guys think Studio Series Cogman will retain Titan Master compatibility?

News Credits: 56 · by **Nathaniel Prime** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 1:41 pm

It could just be TLK Cogman in better colors, mostly for his car mode and Titanmaster. That way, we could all get a Cogman for those who missed out on him or couldn't find him. I'd be happy if they did that.

Agreed, honestly, I'd much rather get figures of non-combining Constructicons that are good figures than Constructicons who can't transform into robot mode because it was sacrificed for the good of that abomination of a combiner.

Not Scrapper, Scrapmetal, the guy quoted in the movie as "ze little one" of the Constructicons who was cannibalized to fix Megs. That's why he's a Deluxe.

That last listing is a Movie Masterpiece figure, NOT a SS figure, hence the price.

Damn, I may have to get those Constructicons. Combiners or not, I do love the movie Constructicon designs, and my MT Giant crew could always do with auxilliary support (I still want to get a replacement Energon Steamhammer along with his limbs as "Decimator"). I hope we get a Long Haul- and to be honest I kinda want an Onslaught out of him. Sure he did bugger all, but he was a nice design for a model tweak.

And Bonecrusher! Out of all the "one-scene wonders" of the Bayverse, he was by far the best. Barely had any screentime but boy was it memorable.

Oooooh, I didn’t even realize that was him. That makes more sense now.

So does the price point on the last listing. I need to read more carefully. Thanks for clearing all that up for me. ;)^

Simply put, they don't match ever since Thundercracker.

He really has to doesn't he? Cogman is a little shorter than a human and doesn't turn into a car so for movie accuracy there's really nothing else he can be but a Titan Master.

Only other thing I can think of is a non-Headmaster version that comes with a mini-figure like that Charlie figure that comes with that one Bumblebee, but I'd rather have an improved version of the TLK figure.

Him being a TLK re-release did cross my mind. However, like Thundercracker and Drift, he may end up an exclusive, just because he's a mere redeco.
