New Transformers Studio Series 86 Leak - Leader Class Grimlock, Deluxe Class Blurr and Jazz

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, MadProject, dropped a bombshell of an image in our forums, that of a selection of Studio Series 86 figures and their boxes! The image seems to have been leaked via Facebook account, DaimChoc Reports.

Transformers News: New Transformers Studio Series 86 Leak - Leader Class Grimlock, Deluxe Class Blurr and Jazz

The image shows Voyager Class Scourge, Voyager Class Hot Rod, Deluxe Class Blurr, Deluxe Class Jazz, Leader Class Grimlock and Wheelie and lastly, Deluxe Class Kup. This reveals as well that the Studio Series 86 figures are not numbered like the other Studio Series figures. We also get a good look at the accessories the figures come with and it looks as though Grimlock is only coming with his gun (which is accurate to the movie). It is unknown at this point if the included wheelie transforms or not.

It is highly likely that Hasbro will be officially revealing them Friday, giving us an even better and more detailed look at them.

What do you think of these? Are you adding them to your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Same happened to me about a month ago ago with those 2 and a couple of others. Some of mine cancelled without any notice and others I had to approve, but when I went to approve and confirm the payment method, you lost out on the sale from Feb.

I ended up going with Amazon and had them within a couple days.

Cybercookiereports on Instagram shared a rumor that not only said that Grimlock would only come with his blaster and that Wheelie would not transform so I wouldn't get your hopes up if you are looking for a transforming Wheelie.

I think that they all look amazing, though I am only getting Grimlock at this point in time, all though I am interested to see what Blurr's alt mode will look like...

Jazz was always going to be a pass for me since I'm happy with United Jazz.

Grimlock looks like the last word on G1 Grimlock. I'll probably get all of these minus Jazz.

I kinda wish I hadn't gotten the Headmaster versions of these guys now.

Oh mama.....

Jazz I’m most excited for: I like the Reveal the Shield but wasn’t quite there for me. This one though... =P~

Blurr and Grimlock look really nice, I’m down for them too.

I'm glad I didn't shell out $90 for the Takara Legends Blurr. This one looks like it will meet my cartoon-accurate needs, and the TR one will stick around as a season 4 and toy-inspired version.

I know a lot of SS fans don't feel that G1 is a good fit, but personally I'm grateful that we can get figures that complement rather than replace Generations toys. All of the characters on this page have had figures within the last five years, and these are substantively different in engineering, deco, and overall aesthetic.

yeah I'm going have to wait on official images before I decide what I'm getting. Grimlock looks promising so far, disappointed he doesn't come with his sword but it's not a big deal. As for Blurr, man I do really like TR blurr but that looks a whole lot better. If the alt mode looks good yeah the TR one is getting retired. Oh yeah and my POTP Jazz has had a couple of breakages on his translucent parts so it won't be very hard for this Jazz to convince me to replace him (POTP Jazz wasn't even that good to begin with).

Maybe it is just the picture quality but Jazz and Grimlock look more like R.E.D. figures than Generations figures. I guess that is the point of Studio Series, make them look exactly like they did on screen, but something about those two seems off. Looking forward to an official reveal and better quality pics.

Actually these are still Generations toys as Studio Series itself was just the live action movie arm of Generations. Plus with these not being numbered, it really adds to the theory that these would have ended up in Kingdom had they not decided to bring Beast Wars into the fold.

In essence, this is Hasbro having their cake and eating it (more G1 and beasts at the same time)

did they jump out of the actual movie or something?

Grimlock proportions look off, his arms look way too long. Some of the other figures look like their legs are too short but hopefully better photos will straighten that out.

Not fussed about wheelie transforming with having the pilotable tr/tl versions so he's just an added bonus.

One of the things I liked about SS was the numbering system. If they all have 86,that is pretty messed up, and pretty much makes it pointless now.

That Blurr may end up being the dark horse favorite of the bunch!

seriously, even though it is hard to make out completely from the teeny blurry images, what I can make out has me absolutely STOKED.

I bet the bay movie figures carry on the numbering system

Hmmm. Grimlock looks alright but man did they go overboard with the Sunbow influence. I really would have preferred gold over yellow and gunmetal over flat grey. Also no sword? C'mon. Might just go for the Takara Volcanicus set.

Jazz looks pretty nice though.

Need to see clearer pics, but. definitely picking up Hot Rod.

Probably picking up Grimlock, and maybe picking up Blurr. Have to see how he compares to TR Blurr though.

The other 3 don't interest me in the least.

Fair point on the Generations label as being a category across product lines rather than a specific product line, but what I'm trying to get at is that over different product lines over the years, we get new versions of G1 that emphasize different features. Settings aside the Kingdom versus SS debate, either way SS Blurr and TR Blurr are both G1 Blurr in both modes in a way that I wouldn't consider the 2010 version, or most Classics / Universe figures more generally. There are different product refreshes that emphasize different features. While there hasn't been a whole lot of character overlap between Prime Wars and WfC generally, we're starting to get more with SS86, but it doesn't feel redundant to me. (The WfC overlap is even lower when you exclude the principal leads and retools like TR Sound wave. And I'm saying between Prime Wars and WfC, not within WfC where there's tons of overlap between Siege and ER.)

So yes, we get a wider range of characters between multiple Generations lines, but the line play patterns and aesthetic priorities also allow for very different figures of the same characters, which I find very appealing since I'm a G1 collector first.
