Stop Motion videos featuring the latest Studio Series toys have been posted on Youtube by Bob Toy Reviews. In one of them, we get our best look yt at Deluxe Studio Series #40 Shatter. The video shows a range of the toys articulation and a shot comparing her alt-mode to Masterpiece Barricade as well, which as many of you will notice –is a fair bit smaller, so scale is difficult to fathom. Please note that it is mistrasformed at times. Also, there is another video where we can see both Scrap Metal and Rampage.

That can’t be SS Barricade, it has to be his Masterpiece figure, Shatter is way too small compared to it

Also, does SS Barricade have his light bar split, because that one does :-?

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll adjust the news article properly. The size raised an eyebrow from me, too, but since the SS Barricade is (apparently) based off the Masterpiece - they do have certain similarities.

Thanks again.

I think Shatter looks good, but rushed(ironically). I hope jet mode Shatter is better. Come to think of it, would you guys accept it if a masterpiece triplechanging Shatter and Dropkick was announced, but had alot of protruding kibble from the bottom of the jet and helicopter?

Ah the beauty of triple changers...

And how they just don't work for live action movies unless both vehicle modes are fictional.

Do we have any actual good triple changers at all in the entire movie line?

I would say ROTF Mixmaster if the gun mode counts (But he is very "complicated" in articulation and stuff), ah maybe ROTF Soundwave?

I mean that's just my opinion, maybe I forgot some others but those two are the first that come to mind, Rampage as well but he isn't really a triple changer by normal standards or anything.

If they could triple change, I could forgive some protruding kibble.

I'm so sad looking at Shatter here. She looks so much cheaper than all previous photos have lead me to believe. And that's sad considering how cool she was

Yeah that's definitely not SS Barricade, his doors don't have panel lines and his lightbar doesn't split. Still, Shatter looks a little tiny. Hopefully she doesn't have Dropkick Syndrome.

William-James, I must thank you for pointing me to the Studio Series RotF Starscream and KSI Sentries on Amazon.com the other day. I picked up Starscream at a nice discount and three KSI Sentries (army building) with an Amazon gift card I got for Xmas. Though, after ordering them, I of COURSE find them at my local Targets immediately afterwards! At least I know I paid less then MSRP for RotF Starscream, and I only did see ONE KSI Sentry on the shelves so far. I've also got some Shadow Raiders and a Dropkick on the way from Hasbro Toy Shop. Along with the VW Bumblebee I found recently, I'm ALMOST caught up on the Studio Series. I still need to find Voyager Ironhide at a decent price.

And no problem, was glad to help. I will let you know if I spot Ironhide on Amazon for a decent price.

Argh I'm so upset at myself for not getting more of the Studio series guys while they were still on sale at Amazon Canada, I bought Stinger and Jazz, I was saving Lockdown for later, I presumed they were on sale because Amazon was trying to get rid of overstocked items considering some of the newer ones like Sentry were still retail price.

And now I have some 5 dollar credit I gotta use by the end of January but I don't see any good deals on Transformers stuff right now. (And I need to use the credit on things sold by Amazon themselves)

I can't justify paying even 25 Cad dollars on a deluxe these days.

Jetfire and DOTM Megatron are up on Amazon Canada though for 69.99 Cad

Yes. Dropkick and Shatter were so very awesome looking in the movie... I'm so disappointed that the Studio line didn't do them more justice.

I think it's another issue of the designs not being quite finalized by the time the toys had to actually go into production. It's happened many times over the past 11 years or so with movie series toys. Refinements are made to the CGI models after the toys have already been designed. It's especially obvious with Bumblebee being pushed back half a year for an Xmas release. With more time to work on the CGI models, suddenly, they decided to remove the iconic "door wings" from Bumblebee's robot mode. None of the toys were designed based on this change, though, so almost every VW Bumblebee sports them when they're not at all prominent in the actual movie.

We have mirrored the images below, but the original gallery can be seen here.

Is the Studio Series still shaping up to the same quality as the earlier figures (like Barricade and Bumblebee, for example) or is the rush of figures finally effecting the quality? Have you already pre-ordered, happily got Shatter early or waiting for retail on this release? Let us know on the Energon Pub here at Seibertron.com!

Those look like screencaps taken from this (not-a-review) video:

Her battle mask is in the movie, on Cybertron (when she's standing next to Shockwave) and briefly when she transforms when she and Dropkick first meet Sector 7.

Just a small fun fact.

I look forward to the Movie Masterpieces of these two... But I honestly hope it's of their car modes. With the robot modes reflecting their forms *before* scanning the jet/helicopter.

The more I look at Studio Series, the more my idea is "NOT WORTHY, NOT WORTHY AT ALL".

I keep hoping We'll get a decennt Triple changer for Shatter o Dropkick... but if this is the SS already, I think it will never be :-(

In a way I sort of hope he gets made, although I don't think he should be a priority for the line I do think he should be made at some point.

2007 Megatron is the only 2007 "character" left to be remade besides the 2007 Camaro Bumblebee which is already similar to some of the other Bee's in design.

Unless you include the Allspark mutations like Dispensor (We already have the ideal version of him with the Takara AOE toy :-P

)

Well we know this line is going through 2020, so I'm sure we'll see a lot of figures made

Given 2007 Megatron's length and wings I feel like they're saving him for a future Leader class.

I hopped on late to the studio series but i'm now only picking up the 2007 cast (only the older Camaro Bee)

Would love to have the 2007 Megatron.

Now should Frenzy be packaged with him like Igor was with DotM Megs or should we get a deluxe size box exclusive with Frenzy, Dispensor, Nokia Bot, Steering Wheel and XBox 360??

Re: Stop Motion Videos Featuring Latest Studio Series Toys Including SS 40 Shatter (2003332)

Shouldn't Frenzy come with either Soundwave or Barricade?

Frenzy! The First SS Legion Class Toy :lol:

. Or they could do a "Box Set" (In a deluxe size box) of Frenzy & Laserbeak, or a leader size box including Frenzy, Ravage & Laserbeak. Or...yeah just releasing Frenzy with Barricade would have been the simplest Idea.

I think :TAKARATOMY:

are trying to figure out a way to release some of the smaller figures. Blackout did come with Scorponok. DotM Megatorn comes with Igor, and Drift with mini Dinobots. Not sure how they will release the likes of Frenzy, Ravage & Laserbeak.

Re: Stop Motion Videos Featuring Latest Studio Series Toys Including SS 40 Shatter (2003345)
Posted by Coptur on January 8th, 2019 @ 1:43pm CST

Yeah i agree Frenzy should've come with Barricade.

Packing him with Ravage and Laserbeak would break the film specific packaging theme that the Studio Series has. By putting Frenzy with 2007 Megs or with the AllSpark bots keeps with the theme.

Given the the various forms Laserbeak has he could have his own mini boxset

I dunno, they'd have to really break them from the scale the lines going for; especially frenzy as he was minuscule compared to other figures

Frenzy was just big enough to drive Barricade in the 2007 movie, maybe about the size of a tween human, so compared to a deluxe scaled Studio Series figure, Frenzy should be a bit smaller than even a Titan Master figure. That's tiny.

Thanks to Prime vs. Prime, we have a pair of brand new English reviews for the upcoming Studio Series Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime figures to share with you today!

The Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime figures are the first 2019 wave of Voyagers. Bonecrusher comes out rather short in robot mode, somewhat in scale with Prime but definitely short compared to his fellow 2007 Decepticon mates, as Prime vs. Prime points out in his review. While is doesn't appear all that detailed, he does have a nice range of posability in his claw and his legs, and you can get some pretty good range of movement out of him. He features the background of the highway bridge battle from the 2007 movie.

Optimus Prime is a retool of the original Studio Series Prime figure, but now with a more accurate chest and back, brighter colors, and the ability to combine with Jetfire. He also comes with a backdrop featuring his battle with Bonecrusher on the highway bridge.

Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think of the long awaited update to Bonecrusher and this updated Prime in the comments section below!

There's no need for that now. Look what I found earlier this evening on my way home from work! :DANCE:

I also finally found Siege Optimus Prime and Megatron, along with Siege Shockwave! It was a VERY good night! I got all four at that same slightly out of the way on a longer route home Target that has been so good to me these past couple of months. I seriously need to check there more often.

With Studio Series Ironhide now in my possession, and Dropkick and two more Shadow Raiders on the way from Hasbro Toy Shop, I'm all caught up, and I finally feel ready for the 2019 line-up of the Studio Series!

They fixed almost EVERYTHING that was wrong with the original Studio Series Optimus Prime release! The colors are correct! The chest and abdomen are sculpted correctly! He's a bit taller and scales even better with the other figures in the line. The backpack is screen accurate now. He's got silver paint on the "chromed" parts of the vehicle instead of bare, dark gray plastic! Seriously, why couldn't Hasbro and Takara Tomy have gotten this right THE FIRST TIME? SS-05 is a total waste of time and money now. All it amounts to is an expensive pair of sword accessories for SS-32.

I'm really excited for this new take on movie Optimus Prime from the Studio Series, as you can tell. As soon as I get this, I'll probably sell off the Movie Advanced Voyager Optimus Prime I was still using in my collection due to the first Optimus Studio Release being so underwhelming.

Alright 2007 Megatron needs to be given the Leader Class treatment for Studio Series. I think it will be an injustice to give him the Voyager Class size. A big complain I have with the ROTF Megatron they released for Studio Series is the bloody hollowness of its body and how small it feels (in fact I dislike it because of this reason). 2007 Megatron needs to have this overwhelming feel in terms of scale, he needs to be scary and make you go wow on your first impression of him. Because gosh he was a BEAST and a force not to be taken lightly, and that's why he is my DEFINITE favourite live action Megatron so far. Besides, he is larger than Optimus Prime in the 2007 movie. Also, giving him the Leader Class size treatment allows room for extra attention to details. If you look closely he has a heck lot of details on his mold which is also a reason why I love 2007 Megatron. For Hasbro & Takara to forego the details would be a shame and a disappointment! Although I'm not gonna lie, designing the transformation mechanism for this guy will be a damn tough job.
