Looks like Cliffjumper is a retool of the Offroad Bumblebee.

Is Overload's number correct? Megatron is SS-54. Or is it different for Japan?

It's different in Japan as I don't think they counted exclusives like SS Thundercracker

TakaraTomy didn't release exclusives outside of Retro Rock Garage, VW Bumblebee from the Then and Now set, and Drift with the Baby Dinobots; all were numbered SS-EX.

The numbering for the upcoming Hasbro releases are:

#62: Soundwave
#63: Autobot Topspin
#64: Cliffjumper
#65: Blitzwing
#66: Constructicon Overload

Note: I use "#" to separate Hasbro numbering from the "SS-##" TakaraTomy one.

I watched a youtube video that speculated that the Studio Series Line is going to expand to figures based on Transformers the Movie... Specifically mentioning Grimlock (with a Wheelie). I know lots of people hate G1, but is there any truth to this, or even substantiated rumor about this?

It's not so much hate as just absolutely tired of everything having to be G1, when there's other 6 main generations to explore. On their own, I love the G1 designs. In context, I despise that everything has to be about those designs all the time, specially in the last 8 years or so. G1 already has the WFC Line, and has had the Prime trilogy before that, and that's not counting the Classics/Universe reinterpretations of G1 that came even earlier than that. So some of us are pretty miffed that what seemed to be a little corner away from G1 is getting G1-ified too.

But yes, a Studio Series listing was leaked with the name "Leader '86 Grimlock and Wheelie", and a "Deluxe '86 Gnaw"

Some of us have been miffed about that since Bungledbee.

Hopefully the packaging will be branded to set them apart as a subline...

How well has Studio Series been shifting, compared to the lingering SIEGE figures and the Earthrise figures they're tripping up the distribution of?

From pages 329 to 335. The entire discussion from start to end. ;)

Studio Series is selling pretty well by me (Chicago area), with the exception of helicopter Dropkick who still lingers at a few stores, but even those stores are stocking new waves around them. They are even selling enough that I have found earlier releases that must have been stuck in a warehouse and passed over until recently, which tells me the warehouse is emptying out enough that the older cases are being pushed through.

I had a feeling. I'm suspecting these figures are being put in Studio Series to make use of the available shelf space.

Probably also to pad out the Studio Series line somewhat, keep it from getting to the end of doable movieverse characters too quickly.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane-, has let us know that Takara Tomy's official twitter feed has just released two new photos of the forthcoming Transformers Studio Series voyager, Skipjack! Skipjack is a yellow redeco of Rampage who was one of the first constructicons released in the Studio Series line. He retains full combining ability, meaning that when he is released, you can give your Studio Series Devastator a yellow leg if you wished. Or alternatively, you can leave Rampage combined and have Skipjack on his own.

One of the photos released has Skipjack and Rampage side by side to show you the differences.

Will you be picking up Skipjack to go along with the other Studio Series Constructicons? Do you want him just on his own? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Psst, yellow leg not arm

I think I’ll be picking up Skipjack, I like that it breaks up the red more on Devastator (although I kind of wish I had gotten Rampage to recreate his fight with Bee in ROTF).

Aside from the color, is there anything different about skipjack?

No, color is it. But the color is important, since the bulldozer who's part of Devy in the movie was yellow.

Ideally, Rampage would have been a separate mold (or at least a heavy retool) that didn't combine (and thus, didn't make the sacrifices necessary for the combined mode).

D'oh! Argh, thanks for pointing it out :) I've edited the news story.

Cliffjumper has looked weaker as more pictures have come out, which is sad since he is getting a mold/tooling to himself and looked fairly good to start.

Overload continues to look even better. Excited for him.

Excited for Skipjack too. I love that mold, and I'll have no problem having Rampage as a standalone and Skipjack as a leg for my final Devastator

Comment by YRQRM0 Jul 5, 2020
Is it just me, or do Rampage and Skipjack have really solid paint jobs and detail? The little caution sticker under their arms, all the little silver highlights. Compared to a lot of SS figs they have strangely detailed paint. Including the other constructions

I have Rampage in hand and he's still lacking. But such is retail paint austerity.
