Release Date for Upcoming Studio Series Figures Shown in Amazon Preorders, Including New Bumblebee

I got hold of a Voyager Optimus today, and he isn't a bad figure at all. The first thing that really stuck out to me was that the transformation, especially the arms and chest windows, is quite similar to the Transformers Prime First Edition Optimus, so I got some warm and fuzzy nostalgia for that toy while I was transforming him. The only tiny nitpick I have are the vehicle's smoke stacks are too short, they should be about half an inch longer.

Some new English reviews of SS Ironhide are creeping up. Have Emgo's:

And there's only four Transformers in the Bumblebee movie: Bee himself and three Decepticons, who are a jet and two cars.

There are 5, Optimus Prime is also confirmed to show up in some capacity.

I need SS Ironhide in my life now. The head sculpt and cannons are perfect, and the proportions are spot-on, it just looks SO good. The bumper's a little out of place, but I think if it's painted to be a much darker gray it should look better. He's out of scale in vehicle mode, but that's what HFTD Ironhide is for!

I'm pretty sure Bee himself will have at least 2 toys. Let's hope for radically different molds.

Yeah,even if there are fewer characters,I dont think there will be only one option for each.

I doubt that. They are part of a line filled with other characters not related to the film because there are so few toys from the film. Hasbro does the same thing with the marvel films for Marvel ELgends. There is only 1 toy of Ant Man or the Wasp in the marvel legends line available at wide retail.

There might be more than 1 bumblebee, bu I dont expect multiples of other characters.

Damn, these videos are awesome.

Got megs too, the hollow torso bugs me as much as I figured it would. Shame too, as the panels on his feet coulda been stuck to ball joints on his back and used to hide the torso gap since they are unnecessary to support his weight on his feet

There's a few problems with that idea:
1. The panels are formed from parts of his tread cowlings, so they wouldn't have been able to go in their proper place in vehicle mode if mounted to his back (especially if it was just with ball joints)
2. The panels wouldn't really make good covers for the torso gaps because they don't match the "alien ribcage" look of his torso
3. Those panels, while not necessary to support his weight, are approximations of panels present on his feet there in the actual movie design (you can get a good look at that on Josh Nizzi's website).

I've been on-off obsessively researching Megatron's ROTF design for a while now, in preparation for customizing the ROTF Leader-class toy whenever I finally got my hands on it.

I still love the 2007 Arcee figure. One of my fave TFs ever. But she's now waaaay too big for my movie shelf scale, at least in bike mode since Jazz and Bee can probably ride her (not in rude way)
