Honestly, I think I like Bumblebee the most here. I wasn't expecting to want another Bumblebee after how much I liked ss01 (parts forming roof and all). This is definitely one I'm keeping my eye on.

Unless...was the Universal Studios repaint of DotM Leader Megatron given a new number? Or was it still (just a variant of)...#34?
That's what I was thinking it might be given the timing of it all but not sure since it's very exclusive to Universal Studios. The store exclusive figures like Thundercracker, Retro Pop/Rock sets and such all had unique numbers too so it's possible.
while it could be Megatron, and the rumor a while ago of another leader Megatron seems to have panned out with the Universal one, I'm hoping it's some sort of unrevealed exclusive. We are not getting a 2019 wave 4, so it would be cool to see some sort of store exclusive be 48.

The movie characters are on the majority pretty different from their namesake counterparts I just treat it as I do any reimagining or new telling of any popular franchise these are just ‘these’ versions of the gals, it doesn’t have to be definitive.
Also I think that with some orthodontic rubber bands and some TF nerd determination I will have my combined mode for the bikes...oh yes, it shall be mine.

I always love seeing the creations people in this fandom can create through determination Especially the weird combined modes people come up with. Can't wait to see what you manage to Frankenstein together

Just an FYI, if you are shopping at Target, always, ALWAYS scan your figures on the Target app first.
Longhaul scans at regular retail at regiser, but on app:
Show them, and target will honor the app price:

My SS Hightower arrived in the mail today, along with Dropkick, but the one thing I still can't get over with Hightower is I really wish it came with a hook piece instead of a grabbing-arm sort of thing. Do you think its possible we will either get one with a later released constructicon or a 3P add-on?

Thanks for the heads up, Ironhidensh! Just picked up Long Haul for $22.49! I’ll be sure to post pics in a little bit.

Yep, Long Haul’s really cool! The sculpting is phenomenal, they captured the CGI model excellently.
It also helps that I just replayed the ROTF game, I wonder if there are some flame pieces you could attach to him to make it look like it has the flamethrowers from the game.

I love him but thought he would be as tall if not a hair taller than Rampage. Also the arm articulation is pretty limited but these are really great on the shelf I don’t mind too much.

Jetpower and Jetwing. I still haven't had time to add paint to SS44 so Jetwing looks a lil bit plain compared to the SS32 in Jetpower but someone had asked me to take pics of both of them together in their jetpack modes so here ya go.
dangit I still forgot to put the lower wheels up onto the thighs on SS44 even though i had reminded myself to do it.

Cheers. I ain't got too much money or space either. Jetfire & SS32 I got with Christmas money and DotM SS44 was my birthday treat to myself. I really wanna get the DNA Design kit for Jetfire/Jetpower-Prime as it makes those toys even better and more accurate so saving aside some money bit by bit for that when it comes out.
It's a good thing I ain't into Siege as well (only Springer interests me and even then I wish he had the cool cell-shaded look the upcoming Prime and Megatron redecos have) or I'd be reeeeally stuck trying to keep up with all these Transformer figures coming out. Studio is my focus. It does what I want and enjoy from Transformers.

Yeah, I do wish Long Haul was bigger. He would’ve been a great Leader class imo, he’s way bigger than Rampage and even Starscream, and he forms Devastator’s entire leg in the movie while the SS is just the lower leg. Still, it’s a really good figure.
I also found some more pictures of the new SS Bumblebee, giving a little better view of the plasma cannon and the backpack, which folds up pretty nicely.

Still bugs me whoever transformed it didn't put the lil lower wing bits down and just left them up there making the main wings too big. But yeah we get the idea at least. So many new pieces.

That's looking really good! I think they did a good job with some new parts with this Bee. I like getting this for the mainline, it looks nice!

Just had a surprisingly pleasant lunch with my folks I haven't seen in a year. They gave me some birthday money a few days early too. My urge to buy Studio figures... Not sure which. I mean I did just buy DotM Optimus and a few weeks ago got Long Haul so haven't I spent enough for now? Oh I dunno. I do know that if that new Bee and Soundwave were out right now I'd have already been on some site ordering them before I came here. Hm... maybe Hightower. He's one of the cheaper ones... and a weirdly interesting bot with his strange legs, long neck and lil t-rex arms. Hm maybe. Still bugs me I never seen Rampage or Scrapmetal but hope they'll be restocked. Never did find Bonecrusher at regular price either. DNA Design kit for Jetfire isn't out just yet either. grrr. what to do what to do...

In regards to Rampage and Scrapmetal, I'd keep an eye on IDToys, they are constantly coming in and out of stock. Possibly worth subscribing to know when they come in.

That's a good idea. Also it turns out they have 1 Rampage in stock but it's £34.99 and add postage on it and it's more than I was kinda hoping to buy a new TF for given that I'm jobless and bought two sizable TF figure purchases recently too. A deluxe would be more doable. I've put my email in the Scrapmetal page at least so will be notified if they restock. I've done same for Bonecrusher there just in case (and it reminded me their Voyagers used to be £29.99 hmm Also i remembered that's where I got Leader Class Jetfire at start of January )

Its more expensive because they had to import them, as Hasbro UK suck. You could always order them from Amazon.com too, I got both of mine for about £50 overall.
