Not sure why that needed corrected when my point was still pretty clear and generally agreed upon lol. But I guess let me correct myself; “especially when we’re waiting on some *anticipated fan favorites* like...”

Just a couple random questions as I like to follow news about SS, but I don't actually collect them:

1. There hasn't been any SS version of Frenzy correct? I think he is the only movie 1 character not to have a toy. Should have came with Barricade, but that's just my opinion.

2. Are there any plans for a release of SS74 that has regular SS packaging, and not Buzzworthy packaging?

Once again Hasbro only showed G1 stuff for the Fan First Friday, starting to think they're giving up on Bayverse. Really annoying.

News Credits: 61 · by **EvasionModeBumblebee** » Fri May 21, 2021 10:34 am

Well, at least I was prepared for it this time.

It's so frustrating that they said "Don't worry, Studio Series fans!" during Pulsecon only for Live action Studio Series to get completely shafted again at this event.

Also kind of annoying that they're rolling out the red carpet for The 35th of the 86 movie and we've had a single deluxe for the 10th of DOTM.

So the fan first friday just wrapped up and like I was dreading, it was a waste of time. You would think that they would want to get on top of leakers by showing off the toys, but it does not seem that way. Hopefully Tonton, PvP, or someone else leak the SS figures soon, because Hasbro is doing a terrible job.

Thats unfortunate and not very inclusive
Hopefully the next fan first Friday focuses primarily on studio series (without 86) and some of that bumblebee stuff

Wreckgar39 from TFW (notable leaker) had this to say:
"$%&* it, have some "reveals" to make this FFF worthwhile, maybe. They still screw over traditionalist SS.

Studio Series at some point, with the exception of maybe Cybertron Optimus, is getting the entire BB opening cast. Everybody else like Que, Hatchet, The Fallen etc have been pushed back probably till 2023. Dummy thicc Shockwave? Check. Sleep Paralysis Demon Arcee? Check. Ravage separate from Soundwave? You betcha, as a core class.

Yes, core class is finally coming to SS, probably around 2022 or 2023. No, there are no plans for Twins, Mohawk, Frenzy, Dispensor, etc that I am aware of. Pain. Agony. What's the point? Tiny versions of whoever the hell is new movie cast. Yep.

You might get only one first trilogy Bay figure in 2022 and that's DOTM Bee.

Swoop is still, somehow MIA, and might show up in Legacy at this point.

Deluxe TFP Arcee in Legacy, possibly in wave 1 with Stunticon Breakdown."

So sounds like we have a lot lot to look forward to... My god is hasbro really messing this up in my opinion.

I can't believe they're still calling him "SLUG". Remember when they changed Trailbreaker to Trailcutter, then back to Trailbreaker? I was hoping Slug was only in the Bayverse. But the SS86 box says Slug.

And even worse, I'm seeing a lot of fans calling him Slug. That's just not right. Everybody knows his name is SLAG. :roll:

Well, a DOTM Bumblebee in the future is really exciting if that pans out, that’s my favorite version!

The rest is pretty depressing though. We were so close to having a complete first trilogy cast.

Wreckgars bike mode looks a bit of a mess but thats probably not a bad thing.

Well if they go off of TF:A the trio could include Swoop instead of Sludge but either way poor Snarl would be neglected

hopefully he just misspoke
