It's interesting that Takara is giving all of the SS86 toys their own proper Studio Series ID numbers instead of just 86 for each of them.

They are just trying to get "caught up" numbers wise I mean it would be nice if the TT and Hasbro numbering systems matched, but Hasbro has to do all those repaints/exclusives.

Also it seems odd that #74 just seemingly dropped out of nowhere, with the re-release of #15 I mean #70-72(and we don't even know what #73 is yet), wont be out for several months.

Just checked my local Target. They had the mega 1-step and Kingdom core class figures from Buzzworthy Bee, but no deluxes.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TF-fan kev777, we have our first in hand images of Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series SS 15 and SS 74. The SS 15 Bumblebee uses the Studio Series 76 Camaro mold while the SS 74 is a retool of the modern Camaro mold and the first release of Bumblebee in his Revenge of the Fallen look. The Buzzworthy SS 15 toy turns out to not be an actual rerelease of anything past but something slightly new. While we initially thought it was a rerelease of the "Rebekah's Garage" Bumblebee, which is the original Studio Series 15 toy but this one actually has painted striped AND the pin missing from the earlier versions of the mold which kept making the roof detach. So, all in all, this might be the best version of that original Studio Series 01 Bumblebee toy.

You can see the images taken by kev below for these two toys.

Almost the best...it needs the battle damage and some of the paint apps that were added in the 01 release. Now I'd like to get this one while the original 15 Bumblebee is used for completionism and to add some other clone of Bee in a headcanon (or maybe a statue for a community that basically likes Bee).

I had my first Studio Series 86 sighting last night at Target. It was Voyager Hot Rod, and it was the only one on the shelf. No other '86 figures to be found. I was going to buy it, but upon closer inspection, saw a bunch of paint scratches on the chest, so I had to pass for now.

[Sowndwave76]

My Target had 1 Blurr on the pegs... Nothing else from SS86.
But they had 5 Buzzworthy figures, all were different, but I didn’t look at those very closely.
Was hoping to find Hot Rod, but seeing Blurr was still exciting since there’s a good chance I see more SS86 figures soon.

I can honestly say that I'd gladly remove any pre-orders for the SS-86 figures I have on Amazon because having them not be released until April seems like a waste of time if I ever get my hands on them in-stores. I can only hope that I can get them all ASAP.

[Tuned Agent]

Not quite sure where to post this, since it's not labeled as Studio Series, but this is where most of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee discussion is. I saw these at Target yesterday. Did we know about these already, or did I somehow stumble upon something new?

The thing with Amazon is that they could really ship anytime between now and April, it is almost a crap shoot. Kingdom Paleotrex wasn't due till Feb, but arrived in time for Christmas. If Amazon receives them from Hasbro early, they will ship out early and not wait for April.

As someone who has all the beasts preordered through Amazon, it is incredibly annoying that my Paleotrex hasn't shipped yet while people who ordered him this week already have him.

I'm wondering when Megatron will ship, he's not due until March at the moment

Do we have a thread for everyone’s top 10 figures of last year? I seem to remember there being something like that in previous years. I was going to post mine here since all the figures I bought last year were Studio Series, but I think it might be less disruptive to the conversation to have a thread just for that.

I was going to create one yes, I've just been sick and not in a mood to put it together since the new year hit

I’m on it! I’ll try and get one going sometime today.

Also, hope you feel better soon!

Found some goodies for Studio Series and Kingdom. Will be picking up Hot Rod, Scourge, and 3 Bees.

Am I the only one hoping car Dropkick gets a rerelease in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee rerelease?

Would be the best way to go, that is a really good figure

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, Lore Keeper, has uploaded a video review of the stealth released Transformers Studio Series SS 74 Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class Bumblebee! This figure has been snuck out along with the rest of the Target Exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee line.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:



Bumblebee also comes included with a Sam Witwicky non-poseable figure.

With the addition of this figure, it means that the only versions of Bumblebee not represented in the Studio Series line is the versions of him from the Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction and The Last Knight movies (except his WW2 version of course)

Will you be adding this bee to your hive? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Technically, TLK Bee was reused in the line back in 2018 with a reuse of the VW mold, though a new version would be welcome.

While I miss the extra 5mm ports, I'm so glad the SS86 figures exist. This is such an awesome Hot Rod!

You got the touch!

I wonder if there is any gold in this...

This is all your fault Hot Rod!

Did you leave the wheels on the legs out on purpose?

I apparently didn't read the instructions all the way. Thanks for pointing that out as they are now tucked away and the figure is even nicer

I finally put a preorder on SS hot rod 2 days ago, and especting to recieve it near the end of march, which is moderately fast, for indonesian standard.

For those of you already owning him, how tight is the hinge on his visor? Because i have the MP, and it is uncomfortable tight, particularly considering it is a tiny hinge made of clear plastic, that i end up never using the visor due to fear of it breaking.
