'Leaked from Cybertron' Images of Transformers Studio Series Blackout

It's not my TV or all things red would look pink. Hes not full blown pink but he is indeed a pinkish red.

This is from my TV, the car in the front is true red and stinger is not the same color.


Here's one from youtube:


Notice the slider at the bottom. That is true red. Stinger is not

Stinger looks to be more of a metallic, slightly darker red. Y'know, it probably would have benefited both figures if SS Optimus & Stinger swapped shades of red.

Hey evasion mode bumblebee, being a bumblebee fan, are you happy or dissapointed with SS bee?

I'd say more raspberry red.

Out of all of the SS series so far, it has the most premium looking deco and probably the most parts. But its used in all the wrong ways with priorities in the wrong areas. So in the end, you get an optimus with not a great alt mode (sides and back), a robot mode with odd looks in the back and front, and a deco that doesnt look like anything I have seen on screen.

In the end, as a transforming toy, its decent, but as an interpretation of ROTF Optmus, it suffers bad.

After seeing a video of Studio Series Optimus Prime on YouTube, I have to agree that the transformation is pretty interesting and complex, but it's all for naught because the figure just isn't up to snuff in on-screen likeness in either mode. I'm skipping this one. I already ordered Movie Advanced Revenge Optimus Prime (the 2010 Battle Blades mold) from eBay for a pretty good price ($79.99). That will be my Optimus Prime of choice for my new movie collection.

I think they scale pretty well.

I respectfully disagree. Action figures dont transform. All they do is pose. By your logic, Barbie dolls would be considered "action figures" too. I gravitated towards transformers as a kid because I didnt want to play with little men dressed in tights. Transformers are the alternative to action figures.

Well, they ARE action figures... in part. But they are MORE. Transformers are also a vehicle (or something else) to roll or swoosh around. Plus, they are puzzles. Some TFs are more action figures than others, like the super articulated ones with tons of accessories VS the 2 steps bricks. Some are more puzzle like and some are better as cars.

Heck, some Transformers even have their own vehicles to ride on and some can be played "dressup" with all the optional armor parts they come with! Some have brushable hair like little ponies! Some are even construction sets / model kits with the ridiculousiness of their partforming.

That's why Transformers are the ULTIMATE toys. They offer infinite possibilities and can be placed in pretty much every categories of toys.

I always thought that action figure was used to sell dolls to little boys...or have I been watch that one episode of Fresh Prince too much where carlton is defending his doll to will. Either way transformers are (almost all) action figures but not all action figures are transformers (though I bet a lot more wish they were)

Don't see why it matters though, it's just a classification at the end of the day it's like trying to deny bananas are a fruit.

I have 5-inch Power Rangers action figures that are fully articulated and transform from morphed human men into organic-looking dragons. No robotic features involved in those.

Those sound awesome, which ones are they?
