We might finally get a "Brains" that way, a proper Wheelie, a new Ravage and Laserbeak, Scalpel, some Insecticons, etc. (Maybe even an Ejector that can stand up on its own!)


Ejector does stand up on his own?

Wouldn't a Studio Series Ejector be incredibly tiny though and have to come in two tiny toys (a toaster and a robot) cos would be too tiny to have any joints for transformation or even articulation? :P

As for Ravage, Legends class version still works great but if Hasbro want to attempt an even better one then that's fine with me.

They will be doing a shockwave at some point, they've got a lot of characters to do. However, with the intention of the studio series, I don't think hasbro want to break it by having unlicensed vehicles. So if you want a Dino, you'll have to wait till they can sort ferrari out :-)

Ok Ironhide's pretty darn awesome. Easily the best Voyager class figure of him and feels so solid and looks badass. Love that the angled torso pieces clip securely into place on this one all nice and safe and symmetrical. I've added some silver paint to the central torso piece (which helps take away focus from the front bumper, which to be honest doesn't seem that noticable in person or maybe i'm just used to it but yeah it would have been nice to fold up at the sides) and his toes and drybrushed the legs somewhat to bring out more of the details. Will transform later but for now I'm having too much fun with his robot mode even though I've got project work to do. :P

Very happy with this figure. :)

Yeah. I've had two previous Voyager Ironhides before. The 2007 one and the DotM one and this beats them easily for a variety of reasons such as the proportions and general shape of this figure being more squat and accurate (the 2007 is too tall, the DotM is too spindly) and a big one is what I mentioned about the torso. And on the previous ones I felt like I couldn't pick up the figure without dislodging either of the two truck hood parts even the slightest bit (which my OCD haaaates) so to have them actually lock into place (via two parts per side, the main hood piece clips in just by the neck and the attached doors fold over onto the back and have ports that fix onto little struts. Many early reviews missed those bits and just had floppy hood pieces because that's the way it comes packaged. Took me a few minutes to figure out what clips in where but worth it). Plus my DotM figure was kinda floppy at the waist and often fell backwards on his lanky legs anyways.

Studio Ironhide feels so darn solid and chunky and one that feels nice to take off the shelf and play about with and put back on there when you're done with no stress or annoyances. Definitely recommended and already one of my fave figures of the Studio line and Transformers toys in general. Ok I still haven't yet transformed it and for all i know that could be super annoying and make me take points off but we'll see when i have the time to do so. I'm supposed to be busy but i keep picking him up and playing about and had him beat up Starscream a bit. :michaelbay:

Also feels nice to have the 2007 Autobot squad complete. :)

Oh yeah, I just realised that they had all the bits from the first movie out in some form. Aside from repaints like dotm Rachet, they may move onto other bots like jolt that could do with the studio series treatment.

Sprinkled in between even more Bumblebees you mean? :P
I'd like Sideswipe but I would like it at least as good as Sidearms Sideswipe cos I love the design and transformation of that figure but I worry to scale that down to Studio scale will result in some heavy compromises and simplification. But eh no need to worry myself too much. That's up to the Hasbro/Takara toy designers. Whatever they come up with we can examine and scrutinise cos really we don't have much say in the design process of each toy. :P

Um, but Bonecrusher and Barricade?

Not saying I don't want them to move on to more obscure characters, as the obscure ones are the only ones I've bought so far (Stinger and Crowbar, and Dropkick when he shows up), but saying they got everyone from the first movie done is inaccurate. Even if you count TLK Barricade, they still have to put out Bonecrusher.

(Yes, I know Bonecrusher got leaked, but we have yet to actually see the figure, so...)

I think ZeroWolf meant bots (even though they typed 'bits') referring to my comment about how all five members of the Autobot squad have been done. Bomecrusher is certainly wanted, Barricade possibly (the Dark of the Moon toy works very well for his original form anyways).

Yeah on both counts Carni :lol: my phone's spellcheck changed bot to bit. Also to my shame I flip from referring to autobots as bots to referring to all tfs as bots. Confusing I know.

To state clearly: it's cool that they've done all the autobots from the first movie :-)

They've really only done a half of the decepticon cast (megs would have to be in his spaceship form to count)

I know masterpiece Barricade is available but I also would like a new deluxe barricade. I’m also digging that ironhide, the bumper doesn’t bother me at all.

Poor bonecrusher needs a toy on my shelf too. Since he got so much screen time with Optimus I’m surprised he hasn’t been teased or anything yet.

I've been thinking.. Since they're doing that Bumblebee pack with the extra parts, that kinda reminds me of Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime who had the trailer and such. I really hope they do a DotM version of voyager Optimus with or without the trailer, but a box set with the jetwing or battle station trailer and extra weapons would still be awesome.

I believe he was at least rumored long long ago (in a galaxy far far away), but we will have to wait and see.

All these years and it just been pointed out to me (during a twitter conversation) that part of Ratchet's roof should be black (a glossy black by the way the light reflects off it) The 2007 Voyager sort does that because his feet (also black on that toy) are up there as part of the roof but all the deluxes have the roof on his back and are just green. Tsk, yet more evidence of lack of paint on studio Ratchet. :P

Transformers.mp4_snapshot_01.02.25.334.jpg


I may as well paint mine there since I think I have some glossy black paint somewhere and have been modifying my Ratchet a fair bit since I got him months ago. Even snipping the roof rack so that it folds up correctly and not drape behind him as factory figure does.

No it's there. On a new figure the whole roof rack ends up placed between his body and the inner part of the backpack with none of it on outer part of the backpack. I just snipped it so I could take the part that hangs down and have it clipped where it clips on in vehicle mode so it ends up on his backpack. It's all there, just now folds with the backpack/roof. Like how previous deluxe Ratchets did it.


Here is pic of the backpack partially unfolded so you can see.

Ooh, I might have to try that with mine! I don't want to mod my Studio guys too much, but I've cut at Prime's plastic to get his side tanks to fold away better so this would be a nice, simple fix.

Is cool. :)

I think i got the idea from this tfw thread. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/s ... 201/page-5 They make an extra cut at the front bit of the roof rack too which I haven't done but I see why they did it but is not super-required at all. But yeah a simple mod that anyone can do (with adult supervision cos sharp blades and such) that cleans up his form a hell of a lot. :)
