Is that how Arcee looked in the movies (referring to the larger figure's twisted abdomen)?

Kinda:

Some renders









The "Arcee" component of...Arcee was really the only one with such a messy mid section, the other two were less so.

Yeah, they were supposed to make up for it by combining, but that looks like it was scrapped somewhere early on in the design process, but they still have some of the combining components on the figures, however, they lacked the third figure to merge them properly

I'd still like the idea of the Arcee sisters combining to be revisited if they do a SS version of them. Sure, it's not screen accurate, but it'd be a nice feature that probably wouldn't hinder the individual figures too much

Same, not sure they'd work with the scale they're setting here, but I wouldn't mind a design crossover in siege with them being new characters but combine and transform the same way

Did we ever get a toy of the third Arcee sister? I wanna say yes but I'm not sure.

Only as a redeco of Chromia.

I would still consider that a yes.
And we got the 3 in both scales.

[I_AM... MEGATRON!]

If and when we get them, The Fallen and 07 Megs are gonna have to be leader-class, right? I distinctly remember the Fallen standing taller than Optimus with Jetfire combined.

[william-james88]

While the first wave of Transformers 2019 Studio Series voyagers have barely hit US retail (if you found Optimus and Bonecrusher, please let us know) the wave after that is already finished and ready to go. SS-37 voyager Rampage was available on e-bay and was sold for $65 USD. This gave us a first look at this toy in package.
At the same time, we got in package images of the hotly anticipated SS-38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime, thanks to a post from Weibo user NeoPSX. While this means they will be out in the wild somewhere on the globe soon, it may be a month or two before we see them in the west. These will be $30 USD each.

[Nathaniel Prime]

The one figure I need this year

BTW, when does this come out? I'm tired of waiting

[TF-fan kev777]

Poor Rampage, has to be packaged staring at his bellybutton. I must buy him and free him.

[I_AM... MEGATRON!]

Why are SS voyagers so hard to find aside from the Megatron/Starscream shelf-warmers? I saw Ironhide exactly once in any store (bought him even though his box was a little damaged) and only saw Brawl twice. Other than that, its been nothing but RotF Megatron and Starscream for months now.

I really hope the next set won't be so hard to track down.

[Ig89ninja]

Actually, where I’m at I never even saw Ironhide in stores, Brawl is the one shelf warming here

I too have only seen Irohinde once at brick and mortor, and RotF Starscream once as well. For over half a year, the Studio Series voyagers have been Megatron and Brawl. I don't know what the problem is.

Anybody else with Barricade having trouble getting him into carmode?

No, what's wrong? bad tabs, or is this maybe another case of ss jazz where there's a place for his waist to tab into his roof, but it's weirdly difficult getting it aligned?

I dunno. For the life of me, I cannot get his legs to fold up enough to allow the rear end car panels to close.

Interesting; any blockages? Maybe watch a couple of reviews and see if they mention something about it one way or the other

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Found the deluxes last night, got WWII Bee, Swipe, and Barricade. I was shocked at how much skinnier and lighter this Barricade is to his TLK self.

World War II Bee is pretty great so far. I'm loving him!

Care to share any more in-depth thoughts, or is there not much else that needs to be said? Those three are the exact ones from this wave I'm intending to grab (plus Bonecrusher), although I'm planning to wait on Barricade until we've seen how disappointing Siege Barry is what Siege Barry looks like.

I've only gotten to open them and transform them into car modes and not back yet. I'll have some more thoughts tomorrow for you though.

In the US, Transformers Studio Series The Last Knight Drift with Mini Dinobots (the stars of the Super Bowl two years ago) is an Entertainment Earth exclusive. The listing said there would be an exclusive Hasbro gift with purchase and no one had a clue what that meant... until now.

TF fan influence82 recieved the free gift in the mail and posted it into the TFW2005 boards. It turns out the free gift is a set of two high quality metal pins that you can't get anywhere else. One is of the Studio Series logo and the other is of Drift from The Last Knight. You can find the images below.

OK, so World War Bee then.

He is pretty awesome! He's not the best mold, and he's not quite great, but he is far from bad and definitely somewhere north of Good.

In my opinion, the only real missed opportunity here was to have the backpack become large bulky wings. It wouldn't be screen accurate, but it would vastly improve the 1 main drawback people might have with this figure. I also wish his arms were a bit bigger/beefed up, but that's a minor quibble.

The aesthetic is really cool, I like the weapons, he poses good, and he's got some good detail on the chest and even the back. I love the way the ankle wheels work here, it's great!! And the back wheels would look really good too with the aforementioned wings. He's really unique, and it makes him really interesting. He's also different from the Bees we know, but still readily identifiable with regards to robot parts.

I posed him the same way twice with the wheels transformed right and with the wheels hanging out like wings. I prefer them tucked in though.

Overall, he lived up to my expectations! That is one of the 3 highly anticipated figures of the wave down, and he is great! Now here's hoping Bonecrusher and Megs live up their hype like Bee did!

I am praying against all hope we get a WWII Hot Rod. He needs his Nazi fighting partner. That was one of the good parts of TLK, and I want those 2 fighting in the past together.
