New Images and Review for Transformers Studio Series World War II Hot Rod

I am in the minority, but I really like how he looks

The review doesn’t show it, but at least according to the renders Hot rod’s gun can be stored the same way Bee’s hammer is.


I think he looks ok but I won’t be picking him up. Hopefully, though, this means we’ll be getting reviews for Bumblebee, Soundwave, and the Arcees soon!

I do as well, which is funny, as I really don't care for WWII Bee at all.

I am excited to have the pair of WWII Nazi Hunters. that is one of my Studio wishes coming true

I'm in it for these 2, as well, but there had better be a Bulldog in the future.

Considering these bodies existed for a 20 second flashback, I wouldn't doubt an eventual Bulldog.

I personally am really hoping for a Leader Infernocus though

I just want the gun to give to my TLK Hot Rod...

If the vehicle mode holds together better than Bee I'm in.

I agree! I would like Bee much more if the roof tabbed down more tightly.. it always pops up on mine

Racing in from YouTuber TonTonReview is a video review for Transformers Studio Series #49 Deluxe Bumblebee! Thanks to Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee for the heads up on this one. This is fifth general retail Bumblebee released so far in the Studio Series and is an all new mold featuring a non-removable battle mask and a forearm that can be swapped out for his blaster. He comes with a cardboard backdrop display based on the tunnel interior where he scanned his new vehicle mode in Transformers from 2007. Enjoy the review and let us know if this is the Bumblebee for you in the forum. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

He looks nice, and that gun is awesome. But I'm not sold on him. WW2 BB looked alright, and even though he technically had the wrong alternate mode (a Humber scout car as opposed to the Mercedes staff car of the movie), it was "close enough" that I didn't mind, and also the way the hammer formed the gun barrel on the alt mode was really nice. Hot Rod however was clearly meant to turn into a Sherman tank, and whilst I understand the need for retooling the fact we were robbed of a Transformer with a Sherman alt mode is tragic. Also the gun looks really weird on the alt mode, even in the "proper" place.

On a more positive note, whilst I can't find the gif right now, someone somewhere posted an in-hand shot of Shockwave. He doesn't look to be a retool of Megatron, as aside from anything else he hasn't got the hollow torso problem. He also looks really nice in general, and as someone that loves Shockwave in all his forms I might have to get him.

Wow, Bee is looking sharp!

That looks really good, I cannot wait for the next wave.

he doesn't transform the chest all the way. the headlight portions are supposed to flip all the war around to make his more movie accurate look
