New Voyager Optimus Prime and Bonecrusher Coming to the Transformers Studio Series Line

Posted by william-james88 Apr 17, 2018 at 2:29pm CDT 33,608 views
The TFCN Facebook page had a listing for an upcoming Bonecrucher toy but since it was using a placeholder shadow image of the older deluxe toy, we waited until further proof before newsing. Well, it only took one day and now we have proof of an upcoming voyager Bonecrusher as part of the Transformers Studio Series line. Funny enough, he comes to us as one in a pair of new listings with the other new listing being none other than the bot who destroyed him, Optimus Prime. The code is different from the voyager Optimus Prime from wave 1 so it is most probably him in a new body (probably his Transformers The Last Knight body). Or it might just be a redeco of the wave 1 voyager, just as the upcoming Starscream toy is simply a redeco of the wave 1 voyager.

The info comes to us from Mr Chaos who provided many early codes and listings in the past. This is what he shared on the TFW2005 boards:

TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES BONECRUSH E3745
UPC 63050976995
PRICE: $29.99

He is listed with a new Optimus listing:

TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES OPTIMUS E3747
UPC: 63050976996
PRICE $29.99

That’s a really accurate assessment, but I’d say OP is better than just “okay.” Out of all of them, its Blackout, Starscream, and Prime that I keep going back to. He’s a lot of fun to mess with. I’d put his balance and playability above Ratchet, Stinger, and Crowbar. Although Crowbar is definitely a lot of fun.

If they're smart, Hasbro/Takara should just release Battle Blades Optimus Prime again with a premium, screen accurate paint job. That would rock my world. If that were the case, I'd probably bite and start collecting the Studio Series line. Right now, though, the current Studio Series Voyager Optimus is just a complete disappointment. :(

Is he even the right colours? I have lots of problems with this toy (why fake parts on a character full of obvious kibble?!) but the part I find so weird are the colours. I keep having the impression that the red is bright on screen (similar to the ROTF toy) and yet this toy has the red be burgundy. Where does that come from? He looks much much darker, almost as if they are tryingto simulate the lighting filter they use on the character models for a night scene.

Considering things I'd guess the new optimus is a remould of the SS one for the DOTM design (aka 2007/ROTF with new abs)

:shock:
Please please please please let it be a DOTM Optimus.

I hope this Optimus is either the AoE design, or a recolor of the first Optimus into his DotM color scheme with the yellow and dark blue.

Edit: Seems some others agree with DotM Optimus, lol. I hope he would have the trailer as well, but I think that would only make sense as an exclusive box set or something.

They could put the trailer in but price him as a leader but as it stands I think it's going to be a redco, now the question would be if its display could link with bonecrushers

Question... who is Sarscream? :)

Comment by Spider5800 Apr 17, 2018
Sweet! I hope Bonecrusher is a bigger (or at least wider) voyager like Starscream, OP was too small IMO.

Guessing the OP is the same mold with the abs from DotM, and possibly different accessories (his three-barreled gun would make sense).

Also, totally calling it right now: that Prime is DotM Prime complete with axe and new abs, and that is what the new background was for, not Megs or Sentinel.

My best to worst vote would be for:
1. Blackout (wicked cool helicopter)
2. Grimlock (weak tail section)
3. Starscream
4. Ratchet (terrible color, but not the toys fault)
5. Stinger
6. Optimus Prime
7. Crowbar (the "hair" gimmick is awful)
8. Bumblebee

So here is my fix for Grimlock:

Wow, lots of hate for the bee.... here is how I would rate the figures.

1) Starscream
2) Blackout
3) Bumblebee
4) Optimus
5) Stinger
6) Ratchet
7) Grimlock
8) Crowbar
999) Thundercracker

Wait... there's a Starscream redeco coming? I missed that apparently... :-?
Probably just a tat'd up DOTM thing I guess. Saw to replace the missile thingy?

It'll probably have his awful Cybertronian "tribal tattoos" from RotF and DotM. Yuck. I'm so tempted to grab Wave 1 Studio Series Starscream. He's the Starscream I always wanted when I was collecting movie figures. Voyager sized, good mold, and in the first movie colors. I sold off my movie collection a few years ago...and I don't really want to start collecting them again...but then again, I kinda do >.<

Why hasn't anyone noticed this yet?

TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES BONECRUSH E3745
UPC 63050976995
PRICE: $29.99

He is listed with a new Optimus listing:

TRA MV6 STUDIO SERIES OPTIMUS E3747
UPC: 63050976996
PRICE $29.99

TRA MV6 as in Transformers Movie 6, AKA the Bumblebee Movie. Don't get too excited until you see them, they'll likely be based on '80s alt modes.

Oh, damn! It was right there the whole time. I have a bad feeling you're right, Emerje, and these two will turn out to be versions from the upcoming Bumblebee movie. There's a chance, though, that they're just being grouped with "MV6" if they're coming out in the same wave or waves as the new Bumblebee toys that are going to be based on the new spin-off movie. We can only hope, I suppose, because I really want a much better "Studio Series" option for a voyager sized Optimus Prime resembling his appearance from the first three movies. Oh, and a voyager sized Movie 1 Bonecrusher too.

Do we have any idea how far Hasbro and Takara intend to support the Studio Series line? Dare we hope for releases for at the very least all of the (major) on-screen characters for movies 1 through 5?
