Amazing!!! Grimlock is looking to be so good!

I can forgive the gaps in dino mode.
Sigh, it's been a while since I planned to seriously buy a Leader at full price as it come out.

No way in hell will I do that, not with our crazy price jump to 70$. Instead, come monday, I will go to TRU and try to see if I can get a raincheck

Tell us if it work. Because the TLK and Studio Series are different lines, it may not work. However, if both are just "movie TF"...

Wot. Is it just Canadian price jump? and isn't that what you normally pay for a Takara leader? and why wouldn't you, it looks like it is going to be damn good, and those pictures showed he is pretty big too

In CANADIAN dollars, Movie deluxes are 30$, voyagers 40$, and leaders 70$. Except at TrU, the leader are 5$ more for reasons. As for generations, it's 20$ Dx, 30$ Vg, and 55$ Ld, except at TrU, once again, 5$ more for leaders.

I'm not so sure if I'll get grimlock right away at that price. I just hope that he'll be as common as the TLK voyager and come on sale soon enough.

This Grimlock is awesome & I can't wait to get him. Only thing I don't like is the stupid morning star right hand / big ball in his tail.

Why would I pay 70, when I could get it for 45, like I did with leader Megatron and dragon storm? I got kids to feed. And anyways, the price for generations leader toys is $55. I did pay $70 for movie the best MB 11, but he came with a plethora of accessories and had electronics. This grimlock has none of that.

Thanks to one of the Facebook fans of Seibertron.com, we have a video review (in Mandarin) of the extremely anticipated Transformers Studio Series leader class figure Blackout - of which you can see a full set of images in this previous post here - thanks to YouTube toy reviewer Kevin Liu!

His channel includes some of the other Studio Series figures so far, such as Stinger, Bumblebee, Starscream, and Optimus Prime, and you can check it out here - but as for Blackout, just head below and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

Little let down for back of helicopter being hollow on underside good bot mode good copter mode but back could be better

[DMSL]

I want to see some size comparisons how this scales with MPM Prime. Right now not sure if i want it. It looks good don't get me wrong, but the Studio series is a fail IMO. The scale Hasbro claims is correct is far from it.

[LE0KING]

I could not be anymore excited about this thing! That's what a blackout should look like!

You do realize the scale is to scale with the studio series, not with your “beloved “ Mpm figures. And so far they have kept the scale correct.

[Spider5800]

Great, now I have to scrounge $100 somewhere so I can pick up Grimlock AND Blackout.

Really liking how the transformation works on Blackout. Only real complaints are he looks a little small compared to the older leaders (so he'll be out of scale with stuff like RotF Leader OP) and they only included the spinning blade as a weapon (pop out guns on the arms like HftD Leader Starscream has would have been great) but overall a huge improvement over the old voyager. He'll look good in my movie Decepticon display.

Exactly. It's like complaining that Generations Leader Jetfire is not in scale with MP-10 Optimus.

So I got Thundercracker who for some reason is a Studio Series figure.

He even comes with a backdrop.

[ZeroWolf]

Ohhh that is harsh...funny, but harsh

[RiddlerJ]

In seriousness though, it just struck me as bizarre. Most of the TF shelf is pretty empty (except for those PotP Starscreams, grrr) But there's a whole bunch of Thundercrackers suddenly out, It's like they gotta get these guys out fast.

Is he officially TRU's last exclusive?

In the US yes.

Did you seriously get one? I am laughing at this, bad as it may be, but I'm hoping you did find one. I really want to find one, and the local TRUs don't have him

[william-james88]

Notrab has posted new images on Baidu featuring Transformers Studio Series Voyager Megatron. These shots show us how he looks from all angles and he defintiely appears to be a great rendition of the Revenge of the Fallen model. Far cleaner than the voyager and with the proper arms, the previous leader did not have. Of course, it does come with the visible head in alt mode, which is movie accurate (but not everyone's favourite design choice). We get a really good look at the feet which are made up of several splayed panels. Of course, as we can see, Megatron is not painted silver but the deco still looks similar enough to his look in the film. This toys is scheduled for a summer release and will retail for $29.99 USD in the US and $39.99 CAD in Canada (or more depending on the retailer).

Let us know what you think of this toy and the design.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Ah, as I hoped. His feet were mistransformed in the last few pictures I saw. This looks good! I'll allow it!

[-Kanrabat-]

That Megatron will also be a Day One purchase from me. I don't care if I have to pay the full 40$. He will definitely replace my ROTF "green burger" in my voyager Movie Megs display.

Still, I'll keep my green burger and I'll either store him or display him with my "leftover" Megs.

[Evil Eye]

Shame about the grey plastic because in every other respect that thing is superb. Like, the best Movie Megatron toy thus far.

[Nathaniel Prime]

That is one good looking Megatron! I’m not bothered with the gray plastic, but what DOES bother me is the sides look hollow... It’s still a great Megatron toy and would gladly be one of my favorite Bayverse Megatrons besides both TLK voyager and leader figures, and the DOTM voyager
