New Images of Transformers Studio Series Jazz, Megatron, Brawl, Lockdown

Megatron looks to be the same level of disappointment that Grimlock is on, but I'll buy it anyway. I'm going completionist on this line. First time I've done that since the Unicron Trilogy.


The other 3 look amazingballs though.

Also, I'm glad they're using the movie-styled Autobot logos on the right side of the displays now! It was bugging me that the wave 1 figures have a G1 styled Autobot logo.

That Lockdown look WAY better than the AoE version. Even though I have Peru Kill and the oversized AoE KO, I may just buy that one for my "standard scale" movie display.

Jazz looks nice, but I'm fine with the human alliance figure. Lockdown is a good design, but I'm not too interested in him. I never liked that Megatron design, so I'll pass on him, despite the competent interpretation.

Strangely enough, Brawl is the one I'm most likely to get. His head looks squashed, but I kinda like him, and i want a nice accurate version of him.

Really don't like Jazz's upside-down chest bumper, or his car hood upper arms. OR his knee pads coming up from his ankles.

Lockdown be look'n fine!

That lockdown is awesome, only thing he's missing is the head cannon

I said nothing about hating.

What disappoints you about Grimlock?

First and foremost, I hate the (lack of) characterization and design the most out of all movie verse characters. So I'm biased.

Second, I found it to be a rather simple figure for a leader class. Plus, the extremely loose and floppy but and crotch flaps in dino mode were a huge letdown. The figure looks really good though, bad design or not, he looks like he stepped right off the screen.

Fair comments really. Grimlock’s biggest downfalls as a figure are the front and back skirt. The front pops off way too easy and the rear has no locking mechanism whatsoever to keep it attached as a tail in dino mode. That said it’s still miles above all previous movie Grimlock toys to date, as much as I liked the original Voyager I can’t look on it as anything more than a chibified kibblebot now. Plus the new Grimlock looks fantastic with TLK Voyager class Scorn.

Yo Will! Has SS Thundercracker been sighted in Canada at all?

I'm surprised to see lot's of Americans snagging him what with all their TRU's shutting down

Could be worse. The rest is pretty damn good and it’s certainly not the first ROTF voyager megs who had accurate feet and nothing else.
