Fellow Transformers fan and toy reviewer on YouTube TFA1024 - The Transformers Addict has reached out to us with video reviews for two new figures from the Studio Series toyline of live action movie figures - specifically, we're talking about StudSer 16 Ratchet (in his Dark of the Moon deco) and StudSer 17 Shadow Raider, the orange Lockdown redeco with the visor mask seen in Age of Extinction. Both figures were first seen at the San Diego Comic Con 2018 Hasbro booth.

The two reviews have been embedded below for your viewing convenience, and show off the vehicle and robots modes for each, plus some comparisons with previous movie molds that shared the screen with the characters. Check them out!



In addition, TFA1024 also posted a video of the upcoming Studio Series 18 Bumblebee figure where Bumblebee transforms in a Volkswagen Beetle.

Exactly six months ago, we posted an article on the price and release on the TC-09 Battle Command Optimus Prime. Well now, it's being reissued on Takara Tomy Mall!

Well, it isn't just a reissue, it includes two redecos of the the High Octane Bumblebee and the helicopter Drift. Drift is in his The Last Knight while Bumblebee is just in Bumblebee colors.

They both are redecos of Age of Extinction One-Steps, so they should be able to interact with the trailer and Optimus using the pin.

The only place to buy this currently is on Takara Tomy Mall, for ¥ 8,640 (roughly 77.78 USD). This will be released on October 27, 2018.

Since the Bumblebee movie is on the horizon, you can guess that there would be a lot of merchandise and exclusives. For Bumblebee, we have the Greatest Hits, a subline exclusive to Target stores. There are only two known exclusives, Soundwave with Doombox and the Bumblebee Cassette Pack (Howlback, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, Bumblebee). Well there are finally stock photos of these guys!

Soundwave comes from a listing from sponsor Robot Kingdom and Japanese website Red Mercury. The Bumblebee Cassette Pack also comes from Red Mercury. The Robot Kingdom listing gives us a date of September 28th so we should not expect to see these items before then at Target.

Soundwave:

Red Mercury: http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711275#








Bumblebee Cassette Pack:

While these stock photo's are a bit blurry, they show us off their box and the figure, but Soundwave's base mode cannot be seen from these photos. It also for some reason shows the base connectors separate from the actual figure, despite them being permanently attached.

So what do you think? Let us know in the Pub forums below!

After the initial official images of the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee Movie toyline figures - including some Studio Series items, of course - we now also have some additional angles to both the truck mode and the robot mode of the leader (?) class Optimus Prime Legendary Version from Takara Tomy, which we dissected a while back during Wonderfest 2018.

BB-02 Legendary Optimus Prime is a complete new mold based on the Age of Extinction Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, with several new features, colors and parts, including some chrome. Currently listed at 6800 Yen ($61.24 at the time of writing), for a Japan release of October 2018 with still no official channel for a release outside of that market. Check out the turnaround images mirrored below, and join the discussion on Seibertron.com!

Both Nathaniel Prime and Overcracker have let us know that there is a video review of Studio Series 18 Deluxe Volkswagen Bumblebee. This review comes to us from Peaugh. We had a transformation video already but now we get an English language review for this very anticipated figure. This is the first release of this mold and we will be seeing it again in gold for the "exclusive" Retro Rock Garage Vol. 2 set. This toy should be found in stores soon as the shipping date from Robot Kingdom is September 28. Bumblebee will be 3 per case so there should be no problem finding him. Here is the entire case content:

CROWBAR X 1
BUMBLEBEE X 3
RATCHET X 2
RAIDER X 2

While this has little to do with the Studio Series revealed at the Fan Expo Canada 2018, the Studio Series Deluxe Class Dropkick and Voyager Class Revenge of the Fallen Starscream now have final product Hasbro stock photos! While we had two foggy stock photos for Dropkick and TakaraTomy stock photos for Starscream, we get to see Dropkick in much better detail, as well as Dropkick's box and both of their backdrops. Dropkick transforms into his helicopter mode, as opposed to his car mode and Starscream is in his Revenge of the Fallen/Dark of the Moon body with his buzzsaw.

Now these stock photos come from listings from Stor and Lien AB's website.

Interestingly enough, Dropkick is described as an "unknown hero" in the URL. Starscream is also referred to a Deluxe in the URL.

Hasbro is currently at Fan Expo Canada and the brand panel has happened. In short, there were no new Transformers reveals today. We did get some images from Hasbro, but they are the same as what we saw for the new Studio Series toys already revealed on the Pulse Instagram page yesterday. Still, they have a white background this time and are bigger than before.

The reveals from Fan Expo included:

Studio Series Deluxe WWII Bumblebee, a new mold
Studio Series Deluxe Barricade, a new mold
Studio Series Deluxe Sideswipe, a new mold
Studio Series Deluxe Crankcase, a redeco of wave 1 Crowbar
Studio Series Deluxe Clunker Bumblebee, a redeco of wave 1 Bumblebee

Following our last post that David Sobolov is in Bumblebee, we now have confirmation that he voices triple changer Blitzwing, as many people theorized. This news comes from his Twitter in a post. In the Tweet, he thanks Travis and Paramount for allowing him to work on another Transformers project.

#Transformers fans... It’s time to reveal I’m the voice of Blitzwing in @bumblebeemovie ! Thank you Travis Knight and @ParamountPics for this exciting chance to work on another epic @transformers adventure.

For those wondering, David has done voice work in the past for Transformers, namely, Beast Wars Depth Charge and Prime Shockwave.

Does this make you more excited for the movie? Are you happy that Blitzwing will be voiced with a Transformers veteran? let us know in the Pub forum's below!

Thanks to Hasbro Pulse on Instagram, we have official images for the new Studio Series reveals seen last night at Fan Expo Canada. These reveals appear to be the big thing Hasbro advertised earlier this month and again earlier this week, and the reveals have not disappointed.

These official images are for the 5 deluxe class figures revealed, which include new mold Barricade from Transformers (2007) and appears to use transformation cues from his Masterpiece form; new mold Sideswipe based on his convertible Dark of the Moon form; a new mold World War 2 Bumblebee, seen for all of about 15 to 20 seconds in The Last Knight, and gives us hope of seeing more The Last Knight toys and maybe even a World War 2 Hot Rod to partner up with him; a repaint of Crowbar into Crankcase, which doesn't really work too well since Crankcase looks more like The Last Knight's Berserker; and another repaint of the wave 1 Bumblebee figure, officially called "Clunker Bumblebee" as he appears to mimmick the deco seen from the beginning of Transformers (2007), and it's also fitting he and Barricade are revealed together.

Check out the official pictures below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
