Same and same, though I didn't expect either of these two to make it to the finals so we'll see what happens.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

I was surprised too! I voted Que, but I'm happy to see Devcon getting some love.

Now watch EvasionModeBumblebee reveal that he was secretly a Hasbro Marketing employee all this time and this poll was secretly about who gets to have a new Studio Series figure.

Well I at least hope Hasbro is watching.

How many people ended up voting?

Also my vote goes to Que is that is still open. I love devcon's design and all, but I need a Que in my collection already.

Huh, mine still hasn't shown any signs of moving. Here's hoping it moves soon!

I voted Que, but I am surprised that Devcon won. Either way, that design is Boss and I want it as a toy!

Not quite, but hopefully Hasbro takes some notice!

Sam Smith from the Studio Series team has liked a few of the posts, so while it may not have a ton of leverage, they might have noticed!

We had about 200-300 votes per round

TFW2005 and my Instagram. I would’ve liked to have expanded it more to places like Allspark and maybe Reddit, but managing the tournament as is took quite a bit of time. While I definitely would’ve liked to have expanded it more, I’m happy with the participation we got!

I think those are really good participation numbers.

I got the pack in yesterday, but one of bumblebees secondary door wings was snapped off the clip in the door. Going to return it and already have a replacement on the way. Hopefully it is better!

So I got my Sideways yesterday, and I got to mess around with him last night. He is pretty neat.

First things first, I had to add some paper towel to his ankle joints, the ball joints were not tight enough to hold him up unless he was in a very specific center of gravity, which sucked, but it is what it is.

As for the figure itself, it is nice. The paintwork on him is pretty, and he looks very solid. I enjoy the transformation, it really helps give him his unique silhouette while not being cumbersome. The grill piece is a really nice touch that I particularly like. I also love the arms and how big they are as well as the hands. It adds a lot of character to him. transformation is solid (I love how he grabs his hips in car mode) and the car mode is nice too. Solid effort.

So yeah, overall, very nice piece. I would recommend him, he is real neat and a nice representation of how good the live action SS figures can be.

I'm with ya DMax, Sideways is one of the better SS car bots for sure, hits all the sweet spots

Those are some good numbers

I got my 15th anniversary movie pack this weekend. It is nice, I love having these 5 together like this. I also like the alleyway backdrop, this one will be used.

I love having these guys together. It is so much fun.

Also, Ironhide is such a solid great mold. He and Jazz are really some of the best Autobot figures of the line. He is so solid, and so well done. I really want them to give us a DotM Ironhide

If you really want the Fallen Entertainment Earth has it available in a two pack with Sludge.

Awesome, they look great together! So glad they released that 5-pack.

Also, SS Hatchet is coming to Buzzworthy! We just have one render so far, we can see that most of the internals look different, but it does reuse the outer shell components from Crowbar. The molding looks a little flat in this picture, so I'm really interested in seeing more soon!

What a wild way to find out about one of the last few bots from the first 3 movies getting a figure, that was out of nowhere!
