@Carnivius_Prime I wish I had a store like that near me closest is Newcastle to me.

Ain't as close as I'd like. 80 min bus ride each way which is tricky for me with my anxiety problems but I do it anyways cos i gotta push myself a little. Drift was gone when I was there today though. That MPM Megatron wasn't even anywhere near the Transformers section. Was up high at top of comic shelves with other boxed expensive stuff like statues and such. Their Transformers section is one column of Siege, Studio, a couple of left over PotP and some TF card game boxes.

Sounds like the Newcastle store, though Sixgun was clogging the shelves

Yeah there were several Sixguns. Also a couple Shockwaves, galaxy thingy optimus, ultra magnus, laserbeak/ravage, some micromasters and from potp there was elita one, that black rodimus prime, sludge, moonracer, hun-grr

studio figures were just crowbar, crankcase, RotF Megatron, Thundercracker.

I still can't get on board with labeling an accessory laden Voyager class figure as a Leader class. Maybe I'm just too much of a curmudgeon.

I really don't like it with Siege Shockwave cos that's a completely made up add on that's also rather goofy at times (like when it's a backpack of arms and legs), but at least with DotM Optimus it's an already establshed and much requested add on in all it's configurations.

I rest now. Night.

That backdrop that comes with DOTM Prime is awesome, probably my favorite so far. Maybe a future SS Shockwave will re-use it?

Now that we have confirmation of the final color scheme, I painted up SS-05's legs with a brighter red so now they're ready for swapping when DOTM Prime gets here.

Finally got around to snagging Rampage after a while of debate. He's better than I expected. Instructions were hellish to try and understand to the point where I just fiddled with it to understand roughly where things go. While I didn't expect much from him, he is kinda fun to mess with. Can't wait for the other Constructicons to show up, particularly the big chunk that is Long Haul

Did you get Scrapmetal yet? Because if not he is definitely worth the pick-up!

Nope! I was going to but the Target I was at didn't have him in stock. But I figured picking up the Constructicon I was least excited for was a good idea because I'd either be pleasantly surprised with him, or I'd at least be able to guess the quality of the other Constructions considering none of the other Studio Series figures have a combination gimmick. Definitely picking up Scrapmetal next time I see him

Look who I found, Long Haul I do love how the sculpting on his feet make it look like it's scraped metal

Woah, where did you find him!?!

Rampage is an excellent figure, glad you like him! He is my favorite SS figure of this year so far, and definitely my favorite con of the line!

Yes, yes you are and the Laser Rod, RiD, and Unicron Trilogy Optimus Prime toys would like to have a word with you Heck, the basic idea goes back to the original G1 Optimus and Megatron toys. The idea of a "consolidated large figure" Leader didn't really crystallize until Galvatron (although Shockwave might be considered a precursor).

The jetpack is once again minus the correct wing pivot and the engines seem a bit too far out, but the integration is fairly clever. A shame that it completely crowds the trailer. The lack of paint on the trailer is also a shame, but having to paint that much surface would probably drive him up to Commander class so...

Toywiz preorder when he was for MSRP
and he's so chunky and goofy looking, like an evil mecha mario

[Ultra Markus]

his trailer should transform with a spring loaded mechanism or at least the ring part should be so when its straight its under tension then have a release button to make it spring into a ring
that would be neat

Fellow Seibertronians! Yours truly has discovered some exciting news, this time being about the new Transformers Studio Series SS-45 Age Of Extinction Helicopter Mode Autobot Drift (phew!). Thanks to the TFND Facebook page, we now have in hand images of this new figure to show you. Despite being a retool of the very lackluster (and still shelfwarming) Helicopter Dropkick, this figure manages to pull off an accurate representation of Drift as he appeared in Age Of Extinction. These photos show off the detail of the robot mode, helicopter mode, packaging, and some comparisons with the previous Studio Series Drift, as well as Copter Drift's retool, Dropkick.





















This figure is slated to be released late August of this year, along with Car Mode Dropkick and Constructicon Hightower.

Will you be picking up this figure? Are you content with your other Drift(s)? Tell us in the discussion below.

[Sentinel_Primal]

If this Drift is any indication of us getting a rerelease of AOE Drift in screen accurate colors or even a new mold, then I'll buy him. Otherwise, I'll probably just stick with the TLK repaint

[Deadput]

This Drift looks pretty good in my opinion.

Think I might actually get him for my Siege collection since he looks "Cybertronian" enough.

I suppose he could work there.

Great idea!

Fellow Seibertronians! Hot off the heels of the in hand images of Helicopter Drift, we now have a video review of the new Transformers Studio Series SS-46 Car Mode Dropkick! Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TFanPage101, we present to you the first video review of this new figure from YouTube Reviewer Kevin Liu. In the video, Kevin shows off the transformation, detail, and articulation of the snazzy blue 'Con.


This figure, along with Helicopter Drift and Constructicon Hightower, are slated to release in late August.

Will you be trusting this bot enough to take him to your home leader, and finally let him in? Or has he popped one too many indigenous lifeforms for you to handle? Let us know in the discussion below.

You might have sold me on that Drift w/ dinos set. I actually wish they'd re issue the DOTM (?) blue Bugatti again. I wonder how he'd scale. I know he transformed completely backwards from the "current" Mercedes Drift.

Both Shatter and Dropkick really had some interesting things going on with their conversions. Almost reminiscent of DOTM levels of fiddly. I do wish Hasbro would stop with the unpainted snap-on wheels though.. they just look so cheap... I also understand there's not a whole lot of room to hide the arms on either figure but they're just kind of hanging out down there.

Honestly you read my mind bc I was thinking of Seige Shockwave when I wrote this.

[Nathaniel Prime]

Hey guys, notice the bot on the far right?

Is that indicative of SS KSI Boss hitting retail already?

[ZeroWolf]

Could be, or is just a good nitro zeus custom
