While the toy came out in Asia, there was still very little known about the distribution of Transformers Studio Series 31 Voyager Class Movie 2 Battle Damaged Megatron in the west. Target is rumored to get it in the US, but there is no listing yet. However, we now know that it will be a Toysrus exclusive in Canada thanks to a listing that just popped up. It will be $40 CAD, the same price as non exclusive leaders, meaning a price point of $30 USD if it comes to the US. It can be preordered right now and will ship out August 2019. You can see the official images below which give us a really good look at the deco in tank mode.
While this toy only ships within Canada (including Quebec, yay!), it is possible for people outside Canada to ship it to their address though a shipping forwarding service (as it is for any item that doesn't ship to your country).

A little late with this, but:
Early 2019
Rampage: Voyager
Scrapmetal: Deluxe
Late 2019
Long Haul: Voyager
Hightower: Deluxe
Early 2020
Scavenger: Leader
Overload: Leader
Scrapper: Voyager
Mixmaster: Voyager
Better save up for the latter half, especially since it will come all at once!

As you can see in the instruction sheet that came with Rampage, Scrapmetal is a 2020 release for american and most of the world's market for the Hasbro release of the constructicons

O no, I didn't mean it like that.
With your correction, it only shows even more that the costs per year for Devastator is really lopsided in favor of 2020. Not quite fair I'd say.

We know already that Scrapmetal is part of the next Deluxe wave of THIS year for Hasbro and the wave after that for Takara, the instructions must be incorrect.

Which is odd... unless Hasbro goofed with printing the release date. The numbering seems in favor for a 2019 release. In order:
37 Constructicon Rampage
41 Constructicon Scrapmetal
42 Constructicon Long Haul
47 Constructicon Hightower
Costs are still lopsided

Thank You William James!!! that is awesome info! I saw the video here https://twitter.com/tfradio/status/1096888174570364928 and that is where I heard the information of it being a target exclusive (apologies if I am not supposed to post links to other sites, not sure the rules on that). You are definitely correct on your assessment that it is not 100% guaranteed. So I definitely got a choice to either spend double now get now or save and "possibly" get later. The Forwarding address is an interesting idea i have never ustilized and will look into. I definitely appreciate all the info!

So is Rampage out in stores now? He hasn't shown up around me, and scalpers are selling him on eBay for $50. I want all of these Constructicons, but I haven't had the opportunity to buy any.

While still not found in big box stores, the latest Transformers Studio Series Voyagers Rampage and BUmblebee movie Optimus Prime have been released in select locations and are being enjoyed by fans. Fellow Seibertronian TrypticonCarne wanted to give us a good idea of the poseability of Rampage since it was a an area of concern for a lot of fans. How poseable can a pogo stick transformer be? What kind of poses can you strike in a toy that has no elbows? Well, you can see some shots below, along with a look at the side of the box which includes a new Movie Constructicon symbol. Enjoy!

For whomever it concerns or was curious here is how the posability of BB optimus compaires to Siege in a few areas, note bicep, thigh and wrist rotation was omitted do to them all being 360 swivel joints
stock pose
Waist rotation, siege can do a 360
limit of forward hip movement and knee bend
outward Hip movement, 
backwords hip movement and knee bend again 
ankle rocker limit and what ever that thing is where they pose with their first punching each other infront of them 
chest doors open pose
slight neck rotation my copy of BB optimus' neck moves upwards at that point do to the neck molding 
upper neck movement both necks can theoretically do a 360 side to side rotation so it was omitted,
upper shoulder and elbow bend limitations on both figures
approximation of a two handed gun holding pose
BBOP appears to be more able to do such a pose despite limitations of articulation
Dynamic running pose
So far which is better is if you prefer dynamics pose options do to weight distributions or articulation options

That's a good news. I want to buy him and I probably will. Unfortunately, it mean that my original SS ROTF Megs will have to be sold for dirt cheap. My evil side would like to make a toy-swap, but I'm against the principle.

Man, pre-orders aren't even up for those guys, how messed up does distribution have to be to have these guys stateside before e-tailers even have orders up for them

Nah, that's been overdone by other robot stuffs and doesn't have the agility. I wasn't too keen on Rampage at first but I've really warmed to him. I do kinda wish the lower half could split into pincery leg things like on previous figures of him but I quite like this one too. Devastator is gonna be a costly project but damn he does look pretty awesome all combined and I ain't even a fan of combiners (though I do love how RotF Devs makes a lot more sense structurally than most)
SS Jetfire and the Starscreams really are my fave jetformers ever made. I love their unique robot modes a lot but also their jet modes are pretty gorgeous and relatively kibble free (ignoring Jetfire's whiskers) and they transform beautifully too and securely.
Weird thing. Day after i took these photos, the RotF Starscream had fallen down (his stand is a lil weak, i should swap it out for one of my spares) but had landed on the floor still with the stand on bottom holding him up in jet mode). Very odd and kinda cool.
Again I love 5mm weapon compatibility. Jetpower Prime wielding G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime's black guns. I sometimes use G1 Starscream missile launchers (no missiles though) on the SS Starscreams too.
Annoyingly my G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime has succumbed to the dreaded trailer post breakage but I've managed to push the broken post far into Prime himself (as there was space to do so and I couldn't get it out) and sliced a 5mm post of a Wolfwire gun (from a half-assed Carnivac repaint) cos similar size and colour that I've superglued onto the trailer's bit. It fits well enough that it stays hitched on the shelf in truck mode but not too tight that it would break off again. Frustrating this happens now just as I made an eBay auction to sell the figure after 30 years. Have removed the eBay auction for now and will rewrite it later on mentioning the repair job i had to do. :/

Awesome paint on that Optimus! Can I ask what paint you used? I can’t wait to start painting my DOTM Optimus when I finally get him.
Also, wave 6 is at retail now?! I haven’t even seen wave 5 in-person yet. Hoping to pick up Sideswipe and Megatron soon, though.

Thanks. Is a lil rough in places due to anxiety-related shakey wrists but since I like my movie bots to look a bit worn that works well for me and deliberately add a bit of silver to some of the edges to give it that worn metal look too like they often have in the films. I used Tamiya gloss model paints. On past paintings I had to use matte paints for general coloured areas that weren't silver or gold or something cos that's all there was available locally to me but they've got the range of gloss paints in now which are so much better so I grabbed those for Prime here so his red and blue were shiny (though matching the blue has been tricky so have left some of those areas the original plastic colour). The flames aren't painted on as I can't do those and so they're just using the SS05 Toyhax stickers as placeholders until they do a SS32 set (one of the chest ones went wonky on the pic of Jetpower Prime above cos it's stickiness ain't so great since I peeled it off my SS05)
Here's Prime without the Jetfire parts.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Enjoy your Transformers.
Will be cool to see your DotM Prime later in the year.

Well I have 38 Optimus Prime (From the BBB movie) preordered from Amazon, and SS Clunker Bumblebee should be showing up on Monday. The original 2007 Clunker Bumblebee was the very first Transformer I ever saw, so it's kind of a must for me. (I know, feel old feel old.) I hope Toyhax has a reprolabels set for him to give him the blue windows to hide the robot parts, and also some yellow stickers for his arm cannon and belly. (And maybe his thighs.)

Well, I messed around with Megatron and Jetfire, and both are sort of weird to me.
Both look FANTASTIC in robot mode, like perfect, I could not be happier with either in robot mode. I wish Jetfire could hold his axe a little lower, but it's still really good. I like the fact that the cane actually tabs in somewhere and is stable. And everything about Megatron's robot mode is great!
But then we get to posing, transformation, and alternate modes.
Jetfire's posability is really good, so no complaints on him. But Megatron, come on, why did you design his thigh this way??? He is so hard to pose cause his thighs are only on highly restricted ball joints. For some reason, SIEGE is making leaps and bounds with posability, but STUDIO SERIES seems to be getting worse. Why?????
Megatron can transform, but the back is really finnicky in 2 spots with the tank, and he refuses to hold together back there without a lot of scary force, scary cause of how bendy all that plastic is. But once you get him there, he is really cool. I love him save for that once section of transformation and his thighs.
Jetfire, wow, Jetfire is BAD. I have tried 3 times over the course of 4 hours, and I have not gotten him into jet mode yet. His legs refuse to work, they refuse to tab in straight. I cannot get his legs and arms to tab into jet mode in ANY location, and his front and back parts of his legs will not align either. I have yet to see a good jet mode out of him, and it's so depressing! He just won't cooperate!

That's a shame to hear about megs, I passed on him, cuz he felt like such a downgrade from the dotm voyager, and now, I'm not sure if I'll even bother.
As for jetfire, he takes a ton of work to get together, if you can get the feet to tab in properly to the thigh - or wherever - then it should make the legs rigid; as for the rest, it's all up to the pathetic back panels, I don't think all the measurements made on the tabs were accurate. The parts above his shoulders in bot mode actually keep the entire vehicle mode together, they tab the shoulders to the legs and 'lock' in with the rest of the fuselage; but they don't match up, or, at the very least the shoulders just won't stay tabbed in.
Fortunately, his vehicle mode is the least interesting mode, and his bot mode is so expressive and poseable that it doesn't even feel like a loss - especially since it's a combiner
