Thsy should have done that in the Bumblebee movie line instead of the Evasion mode-style Legendary Optimus Prime. Does this mean Studio Series is gonna be taken over by all those damn g1-style bots from the cybertron scenes? We already have that stuff in Siege where it doesn't contaminate my movie collection.
That and the new IDW G1 reboot Prime and Megatron looking much the same as they did ever did just shows the franchise is all out of ideas...

Also this is the new movie. Not IDW. Ffs. Let me enjoy my dream movie.

It is is you're absolutely sick to death of G1 which I have pretty much been since... well... the late 80s bar an occasional purchase here and there of updated toys most of which were then sold off soon after.
Fine if it has it's own separate things but when it starts taking over non-G1 stuff that folk like me love to collect it's a bit of a kick in the teeth.Also this is the new movie. Not IDW. Ffs. Let me enjoy my dream movie.
Never said it was. I saw the movie last Saturday. It was not great.

Shatter and Dropkick and ESPECIALLY Blitzwing should be Bayish enough to suite your fancy, so that proves they wanna appeal to everyone.
Stop taking it so **** personal, sheesh..

I didn't say just one toy. I referred to all the G1 stuff in the movie and the IDW reboot just using all the boring new G1 siege toys rather than doing anything fresh and interesting.Shatter and Dropkick and ESPECIALLY Blitzwing should be Bayish enough to suite your fancy, so that proves they wanna appeal to everyone.
What do you mean 'ESPECIALLY' Blitzwing? He was the most G1-ish of those three! Hell, everyone thought he was a G1-inspired Starscream for crying out loud... And that's not the point. If that movie is a prequel (like several elements of the plot and certain character designs suggest) then it's saying ALL the Transformers I've spent past 11 years collecting and admiring actually used to look like their G1 counterparts that I do not!Stop taking it so **** personal, sheesh..
Yeah I should totally be quiet and have no complaints or voice my opinion at all. Like all those G1 fans did from 2007 to 2017. Yeah cos I sure never got a bashing from any of them when i expressed my love for the movie designs.

I haven't been collecting seriously long (I mainly started in combiner Wars) but I've collected nearly every single figure to come out of the prime wars trilogy and I haven't had this many problems with any of those lines.
So now here's where the mixed feelings come in, I WANT this line to be good. While I don't like the movies or the designs really, the movies are pretty important to me. I'm 24 so I didn't grow up with G1 and no one in my family or even my friends like Transformers so the live action movies was the first experience I had with this fandom. It got me interested in the mythos of the whole brand which eventually lead to my discovery, and love, of the G1 continuity. So I
want to have a representation of this introduction on my shelves and the fact that I've just been met with disappointment so far is really disheartening. I think the new WW2 Bumblebee looks good but the fact that it's a total shell former kind of ruins it. I think sideswipe and barricade look great but seeing as all but 2 of the figures I've collected from this line have alt mode issues it makes me majorly question whether or not I want to keep up with the line.
This new Optimus might be the make or break for me. I really like the new design but if it turns out to have another bad alt mode then I think I'll have to call it quits on the Studio Series.

All of my studio series figures have turned out just fine. The worst experience I've ever had with one was that my Ironhide was missing his silver Autobot Symbol. That and I guess ratchets legs being a but loose. I can transform my 01 Bumblebee without stuff falling off. The back of the helicopter is the only reports we've had of Blackout not staying together, and the arms not tabbing in, which isn't a huge deal. Stinger breaking is most likely your fault, or you may have just gotten a bad copy.
I do have a fix for your Jazz though. The car mode can stick together just fine. The instructions neglect to mention that you're supposed to use the plug on the roof and plug it into the port on his bottom torso. It's where a figure stand is supposed to go. Just do this easy step, and you should be good to go.

If you can transform that bumblebee without the hood falling off then you must be using kid gloves because I'm seems that literally everybody else has the issue. I've seen plenty of other people have issues with blackouts panels lining up but even if it's "not a huge deal" that's not the point. It shouldn't be an issue at all.
As for jazz, I honestly didn't know about that peg. I don't use instructions anyway but I just tried what you said and it worked great so thank you. Now I like jazz a bunch more.

Glad I was able to help. Jazz is my personal favorite toy from the line. My 01 bumblebee has had the back pack fall off before. This issue is more prominent on the first release, but no I've never used kid gloves, I just take it nice and easy. I think hasbro learned not having one of those metal rods in the back was a mistake, because the Clunker Bee seems to have a rod holding the backpack together. Also yeah stuff not tabbing together shouldn't be an issue, but it is. Sometimes you need to sand stuff down, which could cause more harm than good. You shouldn't have to fix that either. My Ratchet always has had stuff tab in just fine. I have no idea how your SS 18 bumblebee has its headlights fused together, but I know they are stuck on pieces on the chest, which move in and out. If you can't move those pieces you should take it back to the store and get a new one.
