Back of Packaging Images for Transformers Studio Series Barricade, WWII Bumblebee, Sideswipe

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Oct 30, 2018 at 8:02pm CDT 19,313 views
Thanks to our usual Weibo source TF-Factory, we have news the backs of the packagings have been revealed for the upcoming Studio Series deluxe class figures Barricade, Sideswipe, and World War II Bumblebee! These figures were revealed not too long ago, and feature a Movie 1 accurate Barricade, complete with wheel mace weapon and some Masterpiece inspired design touches, a Dark of the Moon accurate Sideswipe in his convertible Stingray mode complete with swords and blasters, and a new World War II Bumblebee figure based on his flashback scene from The Last Knight, though the new figure itself is not entirely accurate to either the movie or the concept art.

The other 2 figures from this wave, Clunker Bumblebee and Crankcase, were not included in the packaging images.

You can check out the packaging images below, and let us know what you think of these figures in the comments section below!

Of note, those are the backs of the European packaging as evidenced by the German.

Thanks to Youtube reviewerTFA1024 - The Transformers Addict, we have a new video review to share with you today, this time for the newly released Rebekahs Garage Bumblebee set! This set features another use of the original Studio Series 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure, minus some paint apps in the feet and car mode, but now with a bunch of customizable parts and a crap load of stickers to decorate your figure to your specifications! It also comes with a figurine of Charlie from the new Bumblebee movie, albeit with a different hair style.

This figure is currently available for Pre-order on Entertainment Earth for $29.99, and is due out next month.

Check out the video review below, and let us know if you intend to pick this figure up in the comments section below!

I still plan on getting these 3. Barricade is obviously gonna be in the movie one display, Sideswipe was a favorite of mine in the RotF line, so getting a figure that can stand is nice, and I think the new Bee might go to my Generations display to serve as Bulkhead

Why would you bother? As far as I can tell, the only difference between Crankcase and Berserker's movie models is the later has a red X on his chest. If you already have a second Berserker for the head, couldn't you just paint over the X and be done with it? Cause Hasbro's SS Crankcase is a joke.

They also have different types of legs, also, Crankcase has longer dreads


They're literally the same character model, just a few minor pieces and color differences between them.

Are you thinking of Crowbar, who has the longer dreads (and whose toy they are using to make Crankcase, for some reason)?

What really confuses me is, there IS a character who has the same character model as Crowbar, Dreadbot from TLK. That would require some remolding for the vehicle parts, but it would make a heck of a lot more sense than trying to make him Crankcase.

Yeah! Why is that? I mean, I’m pretty sure Hasbro’s main headquarters is in Rhode Island, why aren’t they the first? :-?

They were the first, Hasbro got them first and sold them to the US first. We wrote an article about it:

Yeah.... I don't mean to be racist, but all those 'cons look alike to me. ;)

Clearly some people in charge wanted to make a Predator (Yautja) / Transformer hybrid. And they were so pleased with themselves, that they repeated it twice more.

IIRC the final movie models of the Dreads had the same bodies (Hatchet aside obviously) but with different heads. The concept art gave them subtle differences in bodies.

I'll probably just get Berserker and Crowbar, the decos match on them well enough.

I don't know what that's supposed to be, but that's not his chest, it's the back of his feet

compare the ridges on the sides of it to the ridges on the sides of his feet and you can see the rounded corner on his heels.

For what they are, Bayformers MUST cheat. It's not a new thing and they have no choice.

We don't usually see that level of cheating outside of jets. Most land vehicles tend to be a little cleaner underneath. It's like they needed to give him a bit of height so they made big feet that couldn't fit underneath properly.

Oh. Now I see what you were talking about.
Ew.
They could have at least tried to hide it as a bumper.

I've taken a look at some images of the vehicle he's based on, the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, and at least one liberty is taken, with the chassis or suspension sticking out a bit too far underneath. All for the sake of heels I suppose.

Taiwanese reviewer Kevin Liu got his hands on a Transfomers Studio Series 22 deluxe Dropkick. In the video, we can view the transformation of a helicopter into a robot. While Dropkick is a triple changer in the film, the toy only converts into a helicopter. And while there is a Studio Series Shatter coming out which only has a car mode, we are currently unaware of any further releases of either Dropkick with a car alt mode or Shatter with a jet alt mode. This toy comes from the final wave of the wave 4 of the Studio Series line and should be at retail soon. The fullw ave contents are below and as you can see, it will not be hard to find Dropkick.
