That's a fine looking figure Carni!

Cheers. Yeah i'd forgotten just how much I like this mold and this new paint deco looks great. I wondering if KSI Boss is painted all shiny to match this Cogman cos Cog's head is now too shiny to really look right on Nitro Zeus.

How are the joints on your Cogman? Most in-hand reports have claimed the SS version to be much looser and floppier than the stronger TLK version. My SS Cogman is the same, being much more floppy than my TLK Cogman.

Um. He's fine. Not overly loose or floppy at all. Not as stiff as some figures but everything stays where I put it and holds the poses well. Even if I did have any issues it's an easy fix but so far I have nothing to fix on him at all.

I mean, it's not like the SS one is so loose that it can't hold together or stand up, but that there's at least a very noticeable difference in how the TLK one was much tighter.

Also, reports say the SS one can't grip his sword tightly. Mine is the definitely the same in that regard.

Wave Seven is in stock at BBTS. It's now in my POL, too. I am so tempted to ship it out for Hightower. I wanna start snapping my Devastator together!

What does that mean? I can pick up the whole figure by the sword and all that happens is his hand will fold down a bit into transformation mode because of the overall weight of the figure. The hand still grips the sword handle.

You must have gotten a rare good one, then. Most everyone else has reported getting mediocre ones.

aw cool. yay for me. I wish I'd gotten a good Barricade. I had wondered why the torso on mine doesn't tab with the crotch area properly til I saw a close up photo of the tab part on someone else's figure and mine is actually missing the tiny lil piece that actually locks the parts. Doesn't even look broken, it's just not there and that's why if you try pick up my Barricade by his top half, his lower half will flop backwards. I've got workarounds for it but yeah I can understand being a bit disappointed when the figure you bought has issues that the same figure bought by someone else doesn't. Luck of the draw. :/

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Cogman is looking good Carn! After the hassle I had to go through to get my TLK one, I figured that one would be good for me. Plus i like his paint job better.

But nice poses too!

Just in from the Hasbro 35th anniversary panel at the FanExpo in Toronto are some reveals of the new Transformers Studio Series figures heading our way. These images come from Twitter user Carlos @ FanExpo (aka BlackFlameF50) who is currently at the event. Here we see Shockwave with scaled paratrooper, DotM Brains, and DotM Wheelie, leader class Scavenger, 2007 Movie Megatron in Voyager scale, and Mixmaster. Devastator is two pieces closer to coming together, the new Jetwing Optimus Prime can finally face off against Shockwave, and plenty of fans are going to be happy to see a 2007 Megatron in this scale. Enjoy the images and share your thoughts in the forums. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news.

[Decepticon Stryker]

I like what I see here. Do Scavenger's treads fold up into wheels like the original, or are the wheels hidden in vehicle mode?

[YRQRM0]

Hoping for some solid poseability on Scavenger, I've always loved that design. The original will always be special for the rubber treads.

[Carnivius_Prime]

HOLY CRAP! :O

These all look awesome!

2007 Megatron! Yes!

A MUCH improved looking Shockwave plus mini-figures of Wheelie, Brains and a pratrooper! Yes!

An improved combining Mixmaster for our Devatstaor! Yes!

Frickin' huge Scavenger! Yes!

I want all four of these sets.



I'mma start saving.

[ZeroWolf]

These are all looking good, can't wait got more in hand shots and now with Mixmaster, we should get a look at the finalised devy head...

Was suprised to see the paratrooper mind

[Evil Eye]

Constructicons both look hella rad, as I was expecting. Mixmaster looks great and Scavenger looks incredible.

Megatron, whilst I'm glad he has a 2007-based SS figure, looks a bit clumsy.

Shockwave...Hmm. The robot mode looks superb, though the colours are a bit off (they should be darker, a bit like the SS Grimlock with its dark plastic and metallic drybrushing). That alt mode though, yikes! The DOTM Voyager actually had a really nice alt mode, so this is a bit of a shame. Still, looks nice.

[Mindmaster]

I was literally thinking about getting a Dark of the Moon Voyager Shockwave the other day. Not anymore I guess. It’s nice that he comes with Brains and Wheelie.

Megatron looks good, might get him.

Mixmaster and Demolishor/Scavenger look great, can’t wait to see the other two!

Studio Series is really shaping up to be a great line, wonder who else they’re going to revisit?

[Carnivius_Prime]

That alt mode though, yikes! The DOTM Voyager actually had a really nice alt mode, so this is a bit of a shame. Still, looks nice.

I like this one more. It's similar but more spiky and I like that. Plus doesn't have that weird bit at the front I didn't like on the DotM voyager. Also I'm just glad the robot mode doesn't look so damn flat. I liked the voyager for the time but after seeing many cool figurines of Shockwave with the more curved accurate look I am so bloody happy there's an official toy coming out way more accurate than before.


I'm still wondering how we're gonna get Frenzy though. All the 2007 main bots been done now and he's not with any. Maybe a mini-figure pack with Sam, Mikaela and some troopers like Lennox and Epps to go with that paratrooper?

[FrankTheJohnson]

I like what I see. For the Devastator figures, the shockwave and Megatron. I like the little Willie and brains figures. I jus question to see more in detail of the shockwave transformation and I'd he really a Voyager size an priced as a safer because of he extra little figures. Also can't wait to see how the Megatron figure transforms an where does his wings and nose from jet mode go. Maybe it's a down-sized version oof the masterpiece, that would be cool. As for the two Devastator figures, I'm jus excited to know there coming. I have three of hips figures already an the 4th on the way. An I'm excited to see the last two figures for Devastator.

I'd hate have to get shockwave jus to get Willie and Brains being that shockwave may not be as cool as he looks in this picture...

Why the paratrooper missing from the Shockwave image?

Anyways yeah I love these. I gotta go now. Have fun.

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Whooo, new reveals!

Megatron looks good, I’m staying with the DOTM version but he does still look impressive. Also, his chest piece is identical to the ROTF voyager, is it possible he’s a crazy remold?

Mixmaster and Scavenger look like great updates to their previous versions, They’re both possibilities, but I may wait to get them because. . .

SHOCKWAVE!!!

That’s now 3 out of my 4 most wanted SS figures in a single wave (new Camaro Bumblebee, DOTM Soundwave, and Shockwave), the only one missing is Sentinel. Anyways, Shockwave looks awesome! Wheelie and brains are nice additions, but I actually like the paratrooper more! I never would’ve expected it but it’s so cool that they included it. Actually, looking at it, I think Shockwave is a remold of ROTF megs. The head pokes out the front, and the tread pieces in Shockwave’s legs look very similar to those on Megatron. The visible arm is a little bit of a bummer, but other than that I think it’s way better than the old voyager vehicle mode. Can’t wait to have him!

[LinaNui]

These all look awesome! One thing that confused me was where scavengers tracks went, but it looks like they fit into the lower wheel. You can see them sticking out slightly. I will be getting all 4 of them 100%. I can't wait to see the real figures on display now!

[DecepticonFinishline]

So.... Megatron is the last of the '07 Transformers, but he does not come with Frenzy. Soooooo.... No Frenzy?

Not to sound ungrateful. All of these look amazing. I would just consider Frenzy way more important than Igor or Scorponok. Same for Scalpel for that matter.

[Sentinel_Primal]

2007 Megs looks great! If I see him I may pick him up, especially as he's a voyager. Shockwave looks awesome, but leader price... I'll wait on him. Mixmaster's looking pretty good. A little iffy on his design, but he should be stable enough. Scavenger is going to be interesting. Devastator's going to be an amazing figure in all modes it looks like

[Archforce]

These look great, but I continue to lose hope that Sideways will be getting a new fig. Guess Audi must be pretty difficult when it comes to licensing, considering we got only an approximation of the R8 for RotF.
