And yet Amazon still doesn't have Jazz and Lockdown in stock.

I completely forgot about that, bizarre. Slightly off but same deal with Optimal Optimus, I think he's the only PotP figure that hasn't had an official Amazon listing pop up - he's still $100 on there.

If not just a repack, I hope that Cogman is still Titan Master compatible.

I wonder if they got burned by earlier waves not moving fast enough.

I don't see why he wouldn't be. That would require retooling to remove a decent non-intrusive action feature and technically the Titan Master is Cogman himself being that he's human sized. And you have the Titan Master compatible Thundercracker (being that he's a new head of Nitro) already in Studio Series. I still kinda hope they add a tiny Anthony Hopkins this time around. I mean... I also don't cos it would mean I'd end up buying the figure twice but come on they should have done it the first time around seeing as how Cogman's car seats two!

Waiting to see what SS32 actually looks like in figure form all decoed out before I consider buying it. I wanted a gun with the original one (and probably get the Dr Wu gun for him) and I'm happy with the paintwork and toyhax stickers I added to my figure but yeah let's see if they at least improved the factory colours this time around. Don't suppose he'd be a bit bigger this time to look a bit more imposing next to Ironhide? Eh I still prefer this mold to my revenge Prime anwyays for the proportions and posability.

I hope the distribution on this Cogman is better then the previous release.

Well it can't be worse can it

He could be a DotM deluxe Leadfoot, that was worse

Amazon now has Lockdown at retail, although still no Jazz yet.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Finally. Got this one off Amazon for £23.97 and now am waiting til Oct 4th so i can try claim back my £33.99 that I paid for one off ebay in mid-August that never turned up. Anyways let's open this lil dude's box and see how he is.

[ZeroWolf]

Hope you enjoy Carni!

[Ironhidensh]

Mine arrives today.

[Carnivius_Prime]

I may not have liked certain aspects of the new trailer but I do like this Bumblebee figure. Still prefer his Camaro forms but this figure is fun too. Maybe bit fiddly to transform for young kids (and the face and mask can be tricky to swap) but that's why there are simpler versions in the main Bumblebee toyline eh

This is just a funny aside, but, every time I see someone else call you...

Carni!

...I keep being reminded of Don Karnage.

I've got a couple of bugs on my table.....












I find the massive differences in robot mode, yet huge similarities in car mode between SS and MP Bees fascinating.

From the official social media page of the Transformers brand, we have a new 'Leaked From Cybertron' composite image, this time showing off another new addition to the Transformers Studio Series line - one we saw first revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2018, and will undoubtedly see again at New York Comic Con next week - from the upcoming Bumblebee Movie: Decepticon Dropkick!

Shown in the image below in the robot mode, with the helicopter mode as default (rather than the other alt mode of a blue muscle car), at least in its initial prototype mode, featuring some grey and clear plastic on the base mold, and a sorta look at the headsculpt. Check it out!

Decepticon DROPKICK is as bad as they come. Here's an exclusive reveal of a stage 1 production prototype of this Decepticon menace! This is Studio Series Deluxe Class Dropkick – Transformers: Bumblebee

@Ironhidesnh Very cool. Very different transformations from the same alt-mode.

As long as they're not bugging you, all's good.

How do you find the ss vw bee, those who have him in hand?

A little flimsy and floppy, to be honest. Very nice design, but the quality is lacking.

Quite a lot of fun. Was a pain in the butt the first time I transformed him to car mode as I couldn't seem to line up everything probably and when I squeezed one part into place, another part of the roof popped out but I got there. Also the mask gimmick was tricky cos the regular face was really hard to remove on mine and the whole head kept popping off when I tried (in fact the gimmick would probably have been a whole lot simpler with the whole head being swappable rather than the faces) but I used some tweezers to prise off the face to put the mask on and switched them back without problem now the face has been taken off that first time. I think the only part of the figure that bugs me is the back end of the car on the back of the lower legs. Just wish it was a bit neater and compact and clicked together nicely. But yeah other than that I'm pretty happy with him and he looks great and poses quite nicely (I like the articulation in the arms especially). I'm gonna paint some extra yellow and silver in places where he should have them too to make him more accurate.

I’ve had some issues pegging everything tightly into vehicle mode, but robot mode on my VW Bee is pretty stable. He’s a lot of fun! He does also have an issue with the armor on the back of his legs getting in the way of itself to hinder posing, but my god he’s an improvement over Camaro Bee. Most of it is in the backpack - it actually holds together without falling out and is uses pins so it shouldn’t loosen horribly. Plus I LOVE the battle mask, I’m displaying mine with it.

Sorry, this is the only picture I have since I’m at work but I did manage to find the Marvel Legends Thing yesterday too so getting him and Bumblebee both at once was great

So much sass in such a little bug.

I actually do still prefer my camaro Bee figure but yes pins it the roof section of that would have been nice (though as shown in pics and video I posted here ages ago mine is fine after having added bit more friction in that particular roof joint).

Got them in similar poses like a team up. I really don't like VW Bee's gun arm though. It just looks pitiful compared to the bulkier ones on other Bee figures.

[ZeroWolf]

Out of curiosity, can you swap the bee cannons? Or are they non-compatible?
