Thanks to a post from Cybertron Philippines we have comparison images between the recently released Transformers Studio Series Dark of the Moon leader Megatron and the previously released Studio Series Revenge of the Fallen voyager Megatron. It turns out that both are nearly the same size, keeping the idea of scale within the series. DOTM Megatron was simply ROTF Megatron in hiding/disguise after all with a very similar robot mode, and we see that fulfilled here. The alt mode is compared to voyager Irohinde, which looks very small by comparison, and leader POTP Optimus Prime where they are of a similar size.
Let us know what you think and if you feel this leader Megatron is a worthwhile addition to your collection.

It would have to be made of Legos to transform accurately.

That pic has voyager Meg's legs all stretched out. If his legs were bent in on themselves like they're meant to be, he'd be about a head shorter than the leader

Yep, he should be hunched over a bit with his legs bent a little, but everyone poses this figure standing up straight. He should be posed more like this.

Thanks to the due diligence of fellow Seibertron user and News Staff, D-Maximus_Primal, we've learned that YouTuber, TonTon Reviews, has done it again! This time his subject is the forthcoming Studio Series #36 Deluxe Class Drift and Mini-Dinobots! Drift is as he appeared in the fifth movie in the franchise, The Last Knight. The mini-Dinobots are minifigures in the same vein as the Igor that is packaged with Leader Class Dark of the Moon Megatron.
The review covers his transformation, and compares him to several other Studio Series releases. Studio Series #36 Drift is an exclusive to Entertainment Earth.
We have embedded the video below for your convenience:
Will you be picking Drift up? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

People really need to stop acting like Wei Jiang and Black Mamba will give us the best version of any Hasbro figure and acting like Hasbro toys suck. Wei Jiang only can bootleg what molds they can get a hold of, and when they do they don't always release the figure. Remember Black Apple? He's yet to come out. Also there is a significant price increase in those figures.They do improve on the toys, but only because the figure doesn't have to be in scale, and they can put more money towards it since they don't have to worry about using a strict budgeting system to help produce 45+ figures in several different waves. Black Mamba rarely improves on the figures (until now to some degree) they Knock off and they are often of a cheaper plastic quality. Hasbro has been making several quality toys with their Siege and Studio Series Line, such as both Sideswipes, Optimus Primes, Bonecrusher, Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, and Jetfire just to name a few. These bootleg companies releasing figures at a suer slow rate, and while they recently have been making better toys, sometimes they make horrible changes, like with Studio Series Starscream being silver with splotches of grey just looks plain inaccurate, and the new face they gave the Masterpiece Barricade is just not great. Not only that but what both of these companies are doing is illegal. Hasbro makes quality toys, and yeah, they're expensive but the cost of plastic and making new molds and toys is an expensive job. Hasbro releases their figures quick, witch neither company does. Your comment is also really out of place considering their is no Black Mamba or Wei Jiang Drift. Black Mamba and Wei Jiang mostly just upscale toys, and while yes they are high quality they are various draw backs. Not to mention most of Black Mamba's upscales aren't all that different from the originals and make some poor changes. Like, who needs a bigger TLK Barricade with fully blue side doors. No one.
These companies don't bootleg every toy, so sometimes if you want that figure you'll need to buy the Hasbro release. They've been releasing new toys less and less frequently over the years so in that sense Hasbro is the better option. The toys are less expensive than their toys for the most part, and release more products than either company. So these days, you look at the Hasbro release and then make the choice on weather or not you're willing to wait for a POSSIBLE Wei Jiang or Black Mamba release and go from there, and in most cases I've seen the Hasbro version is bought.

I’ve had him on preorder since October. I never got the Last Knight Drift because he looked really bad, he was still on the shelf at my local Fred Meyer until recently. This new one looks really good and the baby Dinobots are a bonus. Anxiously awaiting its arrival.

We should remember that the bigger KOs only exist if Hasbro spends the money to develop the molds in the first place.
Also, I am very surprised at how much space people have. If every toy was that big for me, I would quickly run out of space. Plus, its kind of counterintuitive to the effort Hasbro is doing at providing us bots in scale with one another.

Well, I don't, but that's a discussion for another thread.
Back to Drift, I think it's pretty cool that we get some exclusives like this. I got a TLK drift for like $6 a while ago that I've been painting so I don't think I need this one, but it would be cool to see more stuff like this from SS. I'd totally buy an ROTF Bee that comes with the kitchenbots or a DOTM Que that comes with a bunch of extra weapons (Ironhide's rifles, maybe some of Optimus' weapons, etc.).

I don’t think paying ~$35 for a deluxe figure i own in different(although more accurate) colors with some small dinos and a sword is worth it. Maybe if it goes on sale or if it was a retail exclusive I would have picked it up. I hope future studio series AOE/TLK figures won’t be past figures repainted to look more accurate

I tried to watch that video, but the TTS voice just put me off. I'd rather watch a review on Chinese (and I do, especially for 3P and KO reviews as they seem to get samples first) than TTS. It would have been better, IMO, to just use subtitles and music, rather than TTS.

Doubt Gamestop as its going through financial poop, which might mean problems for the expensive new MP Optimus (or some good sale prices on him).
Finaly noticed in the video on what I don't like about SS lockdown of all things, the ball joints in the arms just look out of place on the figure, Started to pick up some SS cheap if just to go with the Bumblebee figures at some point.

So I recently bought the ROTF legends Arcee off of eBay, and having it in hand I think its the right sort of size and such that with a better face and arms it could easily be made a SS figure.

Wouldn't work in a line dedicated to bot mode scale. ROTF Arcee(s) was only 7' tall, there's a lot of humans out there taller than her. A SS figure of her would have to be a very small thing.
Even the Human Alliance figure might be too big, that one's closer to MP scale.

Whoa 
Is that how Arcee looked in the movies (referring to the larger figure's twisted abdomen)? That's a nightmare!
They could do a multi-pack of all the movie motorcycle lady bots if they went full on bot scale to make up for the price point.

The "Arcee" component of...Arcee was really the only one with such a messy mid section, the other two were less so.

Yeah, they were supposed to make up for it by combining, but that looks like it was scrapped somewhere early on in the design process, but they still have some of the combining components on the figures, however, they lacked the third figure to merge them properly

I'd still like the idea of the Arcee sisters combining to be revisited if they do a SS version of them. Sure, it's not screen accurate, but it'd be a nice feature that probably wouldn't hinder the individual figures too much

Same, not sure they'd work with the scale they're setting here, but I wouldn't mind a design crossover in siege with them being new characters but combine and transform the same way

Did we ever get a toy of the third Arcee sister? I wanna say yes but I'm not sure.

I would still consider that a yes.
And we got the 3 in both scales.

If and when we get them, The Fallen and 07 Megs are gonna have to be leader-class, right? I distinctly remember the Fallen standing taller than Optimus with Jetfire combined.

While the first wave of Transformers 2019 Studio Series voyagers have barely hit US retail (if you found Optimus and Bonecrusher, please let us know) the wave after that is already finished and ready to go. SS-37 voyager Rampage was available on e-bay and was sold for $65 USD. This gave us a first look at this toy in package.
At the same time, we got in package images of the hotly anticipated SS-38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime, thanks to a post from Weibo user NeoPSX. While this means they will be out in the wild somewhere on the globe soon, it may be a month or two before we see them in the west. These will be $30 USD each.

Poor Rampage, has to be packaged staring at his bellybutton. I must buy him and free him.

Why are SS voyagers so hard to find aside from the Megatron/Starscream shelf-warmers? I saw Ironhide exactly once in any store (bought him even though his box was a little damaged) and only saw Brawl twice. Other than that, its been nothing but RotF Megatron and Starscream for months now.
I really hope the next set won't be so hard to track down.

Actually, where I’m at I never even saw Ironhide in stores, Brawl is the one shelf warming here

I too have only seen Irohinde once at brick and mortor, and RotF Starscream once as well. For over half a year, the Studio Series voyagers have been Megatron and Brawl. I don't know what the problem is.

No, what's wrong? bad tabs, or is this maybe another case of ss jazz where there's a place for his waist to tab into his roof, but it's weirdly difficult getting it aligned?
