I really think this ^ is the reason why Jazz is #14 instead of #4.
I saw this car racing on the broadcast for the (can't remember the actual full name) vintage car Le Mans a couple of years ago, and I even made a comment to my father about it at the time since I had just bought my Diaclone Jazz. Random life details aside, in securing the rights to a race car like this you have to deal with: Porsche, the racing team, the corporation that owns the racing team, probably some legality of the driver if their name is associated with this car/number, Le Mans circuit, and/or all of the sponsors of the car when making fake sponsors to put on the toy to make sure they're off enough as to avoid all sorts of copyright issues.

Who knows maybe the Martini & Rossi racing team just didn't want Hasbro to use #4 after the whole "Martinii" stickers on the G1 toy to get it made.

does Scourge head pop out when in alt-mode?

Am I just hoping in vane that they will change that hinge on Hot Rod's roof to make it red instead of yellow before production.

01 - Jazz
02 - (Blurr or Kup)
03 - (Blurr or Kup)
04 - Hot Rod
05 - Scourge
06 - Grimlock and Wheelie

Now this is assuming that all size classes are put together per wave and that there is no surprise figures who have not been leaked yet, like Slag and Daniel.

I'm not saying a production change won't happen, just don't get your hopes up

I stopped getting my hopes up with Hasbro years ago.

That's why I'm not even bothering to hope they'll sell an effects pack for transformers.

Not to derail, but since Studio Series 86 (nice move Hasbro - gives them room to expand the line) Jazz is clearly a martini porsche, and they've allowed Cliffjumper to be a Porsche, does this give us any hope for a Masterpiece Meister/Jazz finally?

Well that was disappointing, no Bayverse at all?

Just the devy boxset I'm afraid

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Well, even the Fan First Friday specifically mentioning Studio Series was kind of a bust. Just SS-86, more ER, and the Devy boxset, which we already knew about for a long time.

It really seems like kind of a jerk move to mention studio series in the description and then put out nothing but yet more G1.

Say it louder for the folks in the back

I'm sorry, louder please

I could not be more disappointed in the reveals today. The fact that the entire wave 1 2021 are 86 figures is ridiculous. We've never had a wave with only a single movie in it, and then surprise! no live action stuff at all!

The only reveals that are remotely interesting were Thrust and Runabout, and those were only to complete already started teams.

I am so disappointed. Beyond disappointed.

I'm thinking it's getting about time to jump ship for a while

well, I wont comment on the discourse about G1 in the SS line, I will say I feel like when they said Studio series reveals, then said they had 14 figures to reveal, that I was expecting something very different. over all I am ok with it though, except one teeeeeeeny part.

Hasbro

STOP WITH THE TARGET EXCLUSIVES

or at least get them to fix their crap so non scalpers can get your stuff

Yep, just disappointing. They've nearly finished the Bayverse characters it would probably take like 2 or 3 more waves, but they just wont do it!

I've been preaching that for months now, they only really needed 1 more year to complete it! Just finish it please! Don't prolong the the line, finish it, and we can be happy and rest!

If only Hasbro would stop sucking up to one brand of Transformers fans. I decided to stop collecting generations because it was costing me money I'd rather spend elsewhere, and because I grew up with the Bayverse films I decided to keep on with them. This is just a real kick in the balls from Hasbro.
