Well there’s also Lockdown/Shadow Raider, both Ratchets, the upcoming Battle Damage Megatron...

Megs and Shadow Raider have different heads I know, but they’re not that different aside from paint decos. I don’t know if Ratchet had any differences though.

Ratchet has different accessories so in a sense it's a "remold" to an extent.

Cogman is a repaint...of a figure from a completely different line that was difficult to find.

There isn't any straight repaints in this line that don't include anything new whether that be weapons or heads with the exception of Clunker Bumblebee and Crankcase which the latter is a travesty.

I really wouldnt consider toys with new weapons to be remolds. They are just redecos with new accessories.
The SS line has way more redecos than that. There are the gold BB toys, the one the comes with a small Hailey Steinfeld, and the two pack that includes an ever so slight redeco of TLK Bee and a rusty version of VW Bee, plus the upcoming Drift and the other Voyager Starscream we got.

Also, while he did have a new head, I do think we should mention Thundercracker.

I don't mind SS Cogman being a repaint. I never saw him at retail. And my interest in the movie lines at that time was pretty low. Hell, I've never seen the Last knight and have no intention to.

I do want a Hound, and those packs of small figures Carnivus_Prime mentioned earlier would be really appleaing to me.

When discounting exclusives, and new accessories, #16 DotM Ratchet would be the first straight redeco in the line, followed by #21 Starscream, then the aforementioned Clunker Bee and Crankcase. Cogman does stand out more for being the first "older import" in the main line, even though the exclusives Thundercracker and 2-pack TLK Bumblebee preceded him.

I wasnt counting exclusives, only retail/main line

Even then most of them have something new to them whether it be accessories or paint

Studio Series #26 WWII Bumblebee and #27 Clunker Bumblebee have finally turned up at USA Retail. Seibertron.com member, taterprime, has sent us photos of of both alongside #28 Barricade and #29 Sideswipe. They were found at Walmart in Mooresville, NC, so keep your optics peeled and they could be popping up in stores close to you very soon (if they already haven't, in which case – you could have sent us a Toy Sighting).





Are you still waiting to find these figures in the wild or have you already cracked and purchased online? With Studio Series' relentless release schedule have you managed to keep up or have you been bogged down trying to catch up? Let us know here on the Energon Pub at Seibertron.com!

Repaints is Transformer's bread and butter. It's a thing since the very first days of G1. To complain about it at all is the most redundant thing since ever.

Meanwhile, my Wal-Mart is just barely stocking siege deluxes, and from what I seen, 1 copy each of Prime and Megs

Nobody was complaining about it. This user merely asked, as a curiosity, if Cogman was the first ordinary redeco in Studio Series, which led to others trying to answer said question by figuring out if there were any other redecos like it in the line (as in, redecos with no new accessories or retooled parts).

Which is yes, there are other redecos, whichever way one wants to look at it. However, Cogman is the first toy from another line to simply be placed in Studio Series as the same character and same toy but in a premium deco and available at wide retail, meaning for him specifically the SS line is acting as a Premium line of sorts and available at wide retail.

It's just because the topic is being discussed times and times again.

And speaking of Cogman, that SS release make me feel the burn of paying 55$CAN for importing him even deeper. Especially when he became widely available locally at 15$CAN just recently.
Still, it was the right decision to rerelease him in the SS line because the distribution of the original was pretty damn horrendous. I wonder if I'd be able to swap the car shell parts from the SS Cogman with my customised TLK version to make myself the ultimate Cogman?

[I_AM... MEGATRON!]

SoCal people, check your Target stores. Just found these guys at mine!

Jetfire come in a bigger box than Megatron.
Interesting.

That is weird, b/c they'd need to make it a non-standard size, likely for jetfires weird neck, but still, that doens't really fit hasbro's m.o., unless megs comes in a smaller box than normal ss leaders

I believe they had to make it bigger because Jetfire has to squat, its the way he is designed. So he would have to look extremely weird to fit into the normal box.

I blame berserker

I still don't understand why Berserker has multiple toys despite being in the movie for all of five seconds.

It's clearly the mold they think they can milk and pass off on consumers...

jokes on them

[Quantum Surge]

We already know about Long Haul. Maybe they're hiding another Constructicon.

[Ig89ninja]

Dang it, just when I thought my wallet was going to get a break with DEVASTATOR being separated over 2 years,I realize I need to complete my Dreads and potentially get Dropkick’s car mode ALONG WITH drift and crosshairs to complete my ‘new movies’ gang

He got one of the best Commander class toys of all time.

[Emerje]

Hatchet is a Deluxe? I was hoping for a massive beast mode, but I guess they have to keep the SUVs all the same size.

After seeing how amazing Bee Movie Prime turned out I'm kinda looking forward to Soundwave. I would like to see a new take on the RotF satellite version at some point, though.
