MCM London 2018 Panel Presentation including Studio Series Devastator, Botbots, Cyberverse, and more!

How come no one showed stock images for DOTM Megatron?

After our last article covering the mere existence of Studio Series Devastator, among other things, Twitter user @thepr1me1nat0r, snapped some pics of the Studio Series Devastator prototype! Here, we get to see the big Studio Series combiner in full detail. This may end up being recycled for a Leaked from Cybertron, but that's merely speculative. We also just get to see how big he is, which isn't a shocker, considering he's comprised of eight figures. Of course, each toy can transform into a robot, unlike the Supreme toy back in the day.

So thought's on this new Revenge of the Fallen Devastator toy? Tell us your thoughts in the Energon Pub forums below!

Hmmmmm...

Here are the official images of the Studio Series reveals from MCM London 2018. They include Cogman, Scrapmetal, Long Haul, Rampage and Shatter. We also see the backgrounds these figures come with and for the three constructicons, it seems we are getting the same Egypt background for all three.

Here is the official info from Hasbro:

It's awesome to see proper movie Constructicons that combine to form Devastator! However,there's no way I want a ROTF Devastator enough to hunt and spend that kind of money. Personally I'd be happy with one of the EZ legends sets. With that said does anyone have any experience with the knock off version that can be found on ebay? Is the unbranded legends Devastator worth the $16?

So....... where are Devastators swinging nuts?

Quite the surprise they actually managed to pull it off. That would mean 100% accuracy is officially off the table.

Speaking of accuracy, so far all vehicles have been accurate, and licensed. I don't see that changing for Dino. I mean, Stinger got its Pagani Huayra model, promoted from its unlicensed approximations, redecos, and Camaro model from his Bumblebee redeco from AoE!

Now that's interesting. Normally I'd call it a mistransformation but Prime's chest pieces are just gone. Maybe they'll be removable for the Jetfire combination (like a new chest piece that plugs in), but I'm thinking it wouldn't be hard to turn this into DOTM Prime with some third-party add-ons!

The stomach panels you mean? They're there, they're just unfolded (you can see them on his sides, giving him love handles).

Well, technically speaking this Devastator is missing a Constructicon compared to what it was in the movie, so it seems they left that last one out so they had an excuse for them not being there.

Hot. Damn.

Megatron?? Hell yeah! That truck mode makes it all worth it!!

Optimus and Jetfire?? Also hell yeah!! It'll be awesome to have another go at that, and it means that I feel even better about being ok with not getting the SS Prime.

Bonecrush, Frikkin Bonecrusher baby!! My favorite movie con is getting a proper large toy at last!!!!!!!!!

Shatter looks so gooooooooooooood and cooooooooooool, I love her. I also love how her and Dropkick in the SS line so far transform into the alt mode that seems to take up more distinct features in their robot modes (Shatter looks far more muscle car with some jet parts, while Dropkick is dominated by the cockpit and robot blades).

FRIKKIN HELL TO THE FRIKKIN HELL YEAH DEVASTATOR BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will buy all 8. I anticipate that Scrapmetal and Hightower are deluxes, Long Haul, Mixmaster, Rampage, and Scrapper voyagers, and Scavenger and Overload as leaders, with maybe Mixmaster or Scrapper falling to deluxe and Overload to voyager. Scavenger has to be Leader class though. And that is awesome to think about.

Also, Scrap Metal really seems to share some cues from the CW Devastator Scavenger, which is really awesome.

As of now, Studio Series is OWNING 2019!!!

Welp, time to go into Negative Nancy mode.
1. As I suspected, they're ripping us off by only giving us one gun with Optimus.
2. It's Jetpower Optimus, Hasbro. Jetwing is the flight pack from Dark of the Moon. Pay attention to your own damn terminology.
3. Yep, it's definitely no more accurate than the ROTF Leader figures' combo; even less in some ways.. And it's using Optimus' single gun as a pathetic half-assed substitute for the actual BFG. I guess the legs are more functional and actually gain in height, but... Meh. If they wanted to do Jetpower Prime, they should have made a special release of Optimus with an add-on set that existed as the Jetpower parts and nothing but. There's even precedent via the DotM line!
4. Jetfire's axe would look better with the axe head being done as a piece that clipped onto the top of the landing gear cane, for accuracy's sake.

Now that that's out of my system.
Jetfire on his own continues to look more awesome. The new Constructicon toys are all looking good. Drift has his first good toy. The Studio Series is really coming into its own.
It leaves me really torn because they're cool and getting better but don't scale too well with figures outside the line (Unicron Trilogy, CHUG, the regular movie lines, which tend to shoot for ~1/32-ish for most characters and attempt to have robot modes scale even if vehicles don't)... I like them but at the same time most wouldn't go with the size I'm already invested in

YES! I WAS RIGHT! DEVY IS COMING!

Okay, might've been a negative Nancy a few posts ago about Jetfire.

But I do really like ROTF Devastator, the mix colors and that he's more of a slough or something. I like my Supreme one but the legs are small and he's heavy as @@!#$%. + the individual parts don't have a robot mode.

Now this guy looks great! And the new Longhaul also looks great, better than the voyager we got which is my favorite of the Constructicons. I never liked Rampage but I think him being a voyager sized would make him a better toy and less flimsy.

Another random Constructicon is always welcome if he has a humanoid robot mode. I do like the fact they went creative with the Constructicons. I just don't like the 2 wheeled guy and the drill body guy. Mixmaster was te-ri-ble as a toy. I hope they simplefy them a little.

I'm up for that Studio Series Devastator, reading his parts have robot modes.
I think I'll still keep Supreme Devastator because he also looks cool.

Shatter looks great, can't wait for the Cybertronian toys to get news items!

I'm pretty sure Shatter's cannon barrels are compatible with SIEGE's effect parts

I'd like to see a new RotF Soundwave. But if you mean the Cybertronian modes from the Bumblebee Movie I guess you can use the SIEGE figures for that and maybe that's even intended that way by

Probably seems old hat now but I got my boxed gold VW Bumblebee today.




Shall open in a sec. You can see the G1 tapes are missing cos I presume previous owner is a G1 collector and just wanted those and so the Bee is untouched and cost £20 + £4 postage.
I shall likely have the battle mask on this version and call it Goldbug.

Nice catch carni you'll have to post some pics of the two vw beetles together.

Thanks. Yeah I really like this. The face came off way easier than on the yellow one (which was likely stuck cos of paint) and I'm pretty happy with him overall. Think my only disappointment being no background card display for him. Not a big deal at moment cos I haven't the shelf space at present to display all the figures with their backdrops but I would like to.





Speaking of background cards, i take it Devastator likely won't have one due to size and that he's sold as many separate smaller figures? Still amazed they're even doing this whole thing.

Also I wonder if those shoulder holes on the new Studio Prime (for Jetfire parts) can fit the tabs of the swords on the first Studio Prime so I can store them on there.

You getting the gold camaro bee? As for devy yeah unless he's being sold in a box, there won't be a display for him.
