We had a lot of listings for next year's Legacy releases from JTPrime17 and now we have some for the Studio Series line. Next year will basically be Rise of the Beasts toys and toys from the War for Cybertron game from High Moon. Back in the day, all toys from that WFC game were deluxe class but now there will be some voyagers as well, so we will have a voyager Megatron and Optimus. While the Rise of the Beasts line proper will be kid centric, we knew we'd get more collector friendly Rise of the Beasts toys in the Studio Series line, like when the Bumblebee movie came out. Below you will see listings with code names THAT MEAN NOTHING but there are some like Wheeljack and Rhinox that we now know we are getting.

We already knew we'd get the 86 core Ironhide and voyager Ratchet but now we see their listings amongst their possible wavemates.

For anyone seeing that it means next year would have little Bayverse well, firstly, we are getting the core class DOTM Bumblebee as we knew we'd get when we saw Laserbeak. And, secondly, as you can see with the labelled TF7 listings, Hasbro does consider the ROTB movie to be a continuation of the live action films' legacy, regardless if it may make sense to fans or not. Basically anything live action is Bayverse according to them.

Lastly, unrelated to anything Studio Series, JTPrime17 also found a listing for RED Soundblaster.

The screencaps come from HyperShauta.

Are we sure that the WFC Megatron & Optimus aren't re-releases of the Siege figures with Netflix decos? (e.g., green windows on Op.)

I wonder if Hasbro's decision to incorporate the WfC game line into Studio Series has anything to do with the RotB film being delayed as it was

Though it would be terribly amusing if Hasbro just reissued the Netflix line in Studio Series boxes...

Until these are officially revealed this is my assumption too. It's been like five minutes since a reissue of Siege Megs and OP, time for another

Very interesting. I own the originals form the Rage over Cybertron boxset in translucent plastic, and they definitely do need an update.

Specially Prime. That is one convoluted figure to transform.

Interesting that Barricade is now getting a figure, being that he was only an NPC in most versions of the game, and only playable in the Nintendo Ds version but never actually got a toy in the original line.

Very cool about WFC, I loved the deluxe Optimus. Hopefully this means Soundwave can be expected as well. And that FoC won't be too far behind, Grimlock and Shockwave in particular were pretty cool designs.

It would be interesting for the Studio Series to encompass the video games too. We might even see some SS-level, modern Armada figures ala the PS2 game.

Barricade being in this list seens to decrease the chance that these are the recent War for Cybertron: Siege toys

I hope we get more movie designs and if they are bringing the games designs, the gives me hope that the Movie games characters have a chance too.

Day 993 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

If they do War for cybertron Jazz that'll be badass. I'll be sad i got ss86 version because wfc would probably be my definitive

FoC Shockwave is my favourite design for the character. I'd definitely be up for a new version of that. Plus, the redecos...

He was playable in Level 1 of the console version.

Oouuu Warpath was a cool design too

The idea of getting movie game figures is the silver lining of this whole thing for me, there’s no reason we couldn’t get guys like Breakaway, Warpath, and Stratosphere from the ROTF/DOTM games now

He did get a toy in the Siege line though

I honestly didn't bother with the Netflix toon to see if he turned up in there however.

But yeah, I concur with Sabrblade, Barricade was playable on level 1, it was only the DS version that had to unlock him.

Opening the floor to tf video games does mean the drones from the first live action can get toys again

^^Looking at that design. Warpath has been done so dirty by latter TF media.

If they were just rereleases they would be labeled as package refreshes (potentially even if they had slightly different paint, as shown by Legacy Galvatron and Soundwave), but they don't say that.

Also why would they need to give Studio Series spots to character designs from a series that just ended, already got a whole trilogy that just ended this year and an exclusive subline dedicated to it, and took most of it's models directly from the CAD files of the figures so they aren't inaccurate?

One team that is definitely worth a redo is FOC Bruticus. It was awesome as a Combiner Wars prototype, but as toys they sucked mighty asses. Especially that deluxe Onslaught.

If SS can deliver, I'd be so buying!

Easy, it's the worst case scenario, where anything else is better.

Was he? Don't remember him at all.

Wait... the Deception Campaign right.

Though it's been a while since I played that game. Would not be opposed to a re-master.

Man, nobody said the Barricade level from Cybertron Adventures for the Wii.

Well, does Hasbro consider Melbourne House a studio?
