Not yet. I'm way behind on galleries at the moment. No Studio Series yet, but I have them all so it's just a matter of me working through them all at some point.

Oh, so that's why I haven't seen anything in the SS section.
Well, only around one hundred figures to go through...

Very nice! I also ended up liking Satellite Soundwave, satellite mode is a little lacking but I do think it's an improvement over the original deluxe.

They’re a little stuck in place at first, but if you gently rotate them once through you’re all good. I used a little bit of force when I rotated the first one and it popped the mushroom peg out. That’s not a big issue at all, but I recall someone reported shearing the leg off by applying too much force on that joint right out of the box. Like I said, if you gently rotate the joint through once, there shouldn’t be any issues.
Look who showed up today!
Those new hands work wonders on the Blackout mold, it makes Grindor much more expressive and poseable than his predecessor. Joints are a little looser than Blackout, but it's not enough to be disruptive. The arm panels actually plug in much better than they do on Blackout, which is appreciated.
The transformation brings me to the only big problem I have with Grindor - the sections between the cockpit and rotor (between the engines) absolutely will not stay tabbed together. I actually have them taped in the picture below, I'm going to see if there's any plastic I can remove or ways I can get them to actually stay tabbed in. Like I said though, that's really the only issue I have. While alt mode isn't remolded for the CH-53, I am kinda impressed that they added paint details from actual CH-53s, like the numbering and rounded section under the front windshield.
Ravage is pretty great, the ball joints his limbs are on have a surprising range of motion.
Overall, I do think Grindor is an improvement from Blackout, mainly because of the new hands. They really make the figure a lot more fun to pose!

Thanks, I had forgotten there was a complete repack wave.

What wave was a complete repack wave? Also, in the list there is a TF2 one, that is sideswipe.

I don't exactly remember, but wasn't heli Dropkick involved? Maybe not a true wave but a revision wave or something and EE just numbered it as a separate wave instead?
Forgot about sideswipe, I believe he is SS78. SS77 is still unknown, right?

From out of nowhere BBTS just sent me an email that SS77 is NEST Bee, a grey redeco of Jeep Bee. So that is weird.
