Deadput, what about Clunker Bee?

He's in the straight repaint category (I either accidentally moved him to the repaints with new accessories category when I decided that it should be it's own category separate from straight repaints or I forgot about him completly which is possible since I was going by memory until I looked up the wiki for the exclusives)

So make it 3 there

[Deadput]

Not being snarky, was a genuine question. I been ignoring these because I thought they were all repaints initially. I'm looking back now after seeing all the news with this line. The DOTM Megatron was what got me looking closer!

Oh I see, I wasn't sure because you never know when it comes to people on the internet.

Yeah I originally thought SS was just gonna be a one year filler line for the Bee movie to make up for the reduced cast of the Bee movie.

[Prowl4]

Nice inclusion of the Igor head thing there.

To be fair, the first wave of Deluxes were mostly based on older figures when it came to engineering, so that may have skewed our views a bit. All in all though, most are new molds, with only #25 Bumblebee, Cogman, Thundercracker and multi-pack Drift directly derived from older lines.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, PrimevPrime, we have an English video review of Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Class KSI Sentry! Sentry is a blue redeco and a slight retool of Stinger who was released back as part of the first wave of Studio Series Deluxes.




Those who are looking for this guy should keep an eye on store shelves over the next couple of weeks as he'll be in the same wave as Bumblebee movie antagonist Dropkick.

Will you be picking KSI Sentry up? Will you be troop building him so that Stinger can lead an army of his own? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

[Deadput]

Man he looks so nice even if he isn't film accurate.

Won't be troop building but I will almost certainly get one cos I love the Stinger mold and that shade of blue and that new head sculpt and I want his blue(s) brother (of sorts) here to go with him for a nice red/blue combo. I guess like Shatter and (car) Dropkick are. :O Heck, Stinger and Sentry could be my movie-verse Runabout and Runamuck I suppose.

And yes I wanna see more of that DotM Megatron. The detail looks promising and I do love the lil Igor bonus figure.

I'm quite happy with how megs turned out from the initial images, and igor is a great touch as you say.

[Sabrblade]

How 'bout the Shadow Raiders? Anyone gonna troop build them so Lockdown can have his crew?

I intend to. I'll have 5 or 6 to have them loom over Lockdown.

Maybe, depending on how well they look with ROTF version

Thanks once more to Planet Iacon's Facebook page, we have a nice collage of images from Loopaza Mega Store showcasing the Takara Tomy release numbers for the upcoming Studio Series figures.

The collage shows us SS-19 through SS-33, with the one figure in the list not yet revealed being the rumored 3rd Optimus Prime. We have no information regarding this mystery Optimus Prime yet, whether he might be a The Last Knight voyager re-release, yet another version of the first Trilogy Prime, or something else entirely (maybe a Bumblebee movie Optimus?). But once we have information we will be sure to share it with you.

Of important note here is that Megatron is on the Takara release schedule, and his reveal in his Dark of the Moon body has been a major talking point of the past several weeks.

Here are the images and the full list of figures coming out. Check them out, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

SS-19 WWII Bumblebee
SS-20 Sideswipe
SS-21 Barricade
SS-22 Crankcase
SS-23 Clunker Bumblebee
SS-24 Bonecrusher
SS-25 Optimus Prime
SS-26 Jetfire
SS-27 Megatron
SS-28 Dropkic
SS-29 Shatter
SS-30 Mystery Optimus Prime
SS-31 Cogman
SS-32 Scrapmetal
SS-33 Rampage

[Emerje]

What Optimus is left? DotM with a weapons trailer? Another stab at AOE Optimus, it'll have been nearly two years by the time these come out since we've had an AOE/TLK style Optimus?

[Sabrblade]

One thing's for sure about that Optimus silhouette: It's Movie the Best MB-01 Optimus Prime stock photography, so it's likely just a placeholder.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Of note is that Clunker Bumblebee has been renamed to "Rusty Bumblebee" for TakaraTomy.

[Carnivius_Prime]

How 'bout the Shadow Raiders? Anyone gonna troop build them so Lockdown can have his crew?

Nope. Just the one again.

PrimeVsPrime review of RotF Starscream


Damn I love the deco on this figure. I needs it.

[AlexisSkrull]

So, I was more into this toy of WWII Bee until I saw his chest plate just sorta chilling under the car... is that supposed to be something? Minesweeper or tranny armor?

I know this is sorta off-topic but that comment was offensive. I am transgender and really get upset when "tranny" is thrown around like this! I am sorry to go off like this but I am getting sick of it as I see stuff like this all the time on toy forums.


On topic: I haven't gotten any of these but I am seriously considering WW II BB, Shatter, Cogman, and the Shadow Raider!

[Carnivius_Prime]

I still have one version on display. The Walmart exclusive. That sonnova may not be screen accurate, but man, the PAINT!

I have that one, missing it's guns. But I just don't care for the deco at all. The original silver with red just looks way better to me. I regretted selling that one years ago. Never mind. The new one is far more scale correct with the other Studio figures.

Yeah I didn't see that (had to go back a few pages and search for the username) but that's not on. I'm not even quite sure i understand the usage in the comment either but that's not important.

I'm fairly certain he was using it as the normally accepted nickname for "transmission", as in a car's transmission.

Its referred to as a tranny in most car circles. The piece under the car being armor for the car's transmission.

Back on topic, Megs looks excellent. Sideswipe is very appealing. And another Movie Prime I want to buy. At this rate my movie Prime collection will be as large as my regular Prime collection.

As Overcracker indicated, I'm certain he was using tranny as short for transmission, especially because a minesweeper or tranny armor would be located under the front of the vehicle right below the engine and transmission. Both would be in the general area where the chest plate ends up in vehicle mode.

Ah ok. Never heard it used for cars like that. But then I know absolutely nothing about cars (health issues prevent me from driving).

I may be a bit late to the party on this, but something just clicked. I think Shadow Raider may be orange as a tongue in cheek reference to the War Planets "Shadow Raiders" cartoon that mainframe produced back in the day. One of the main characters bears a striking resemblance colour-scheme-wise.

Had to look that up as I'd never heard of it. Is Graveheart the character you mean? His armour and helmet are black and orange (though it sometimes looks gold or yellow in other pics). If it is indeed a reference then it's very obscure one. :O
