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?

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!

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).

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

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.

Having Rampage in hand, the paint work is really strong, they really worked with that sculpted in detail. He may not have elbows, but the rest of the package makes up for it pretty well

so there's an in-hand review of Blitzwing. As I theorized, the white head was an unpainted prototype for promo shot. The final toy has black head.

Well I purchased SS Shockwave the other day and last night put in my preorder for the DNA upgrade kit for his limbs and weapons. I love all the sweet new molded detail and paint work that went into the figure, it's just a shame that budget constraints meant his arm blade and hand would be gummy AF

That's the only thing that really bothers me so far, even the throw away vehicle mode doesn't bother me. Honestly it kinda makes sense that he would have a similar tank mode to Megatron since they both remain in natural cybertronian form throughout the movie! Thankfully ol Shocky never transforms in the aforementioned film so he'll be perminatmetly displayed in robo mode ;)^

Posted by MadProject on July 9th, 2020 @ 4:59pm CDT

got today my copy of SS Overload, and I can finally start to combine the Constructicons together!
I'm really happy with the general look of Devastator, they finally gave him a great toy after 11 years!
I can't keep him combined for now, since I don't have Rampage, as I skipped him to get Skipjack as soon as he'll be released (already preordered)

I found the grinder on Mixmaster a lot less loose than I read/saw from some reviews. It kinda tabs in.
The grinder has a couple of "hooks" that lock on the central part of Mixmaster's barrel, and also has a couple of slots that are, theorically, used to connect with the tabs of the side parts of the barrel.

Also, I found an alternative configuration where you leave out the front section of the truck, but can tab the grinder to the side parts. This also ends up with a slighty more accurate look, with the side parts of the barrel covering part of the grinder.
As soon as I'll be able, I'll provide you some pics of it.

Potential SS 86 Blurr and Kup, plus new Jazz (might be 86 as well). Bumblebee is apparently an already known figure.

Really.
"Meh" on Blurr, "Ehhhh.. mayyybe" on Kup (I'd frankly rather just get a 3P conversion kit to give TR Kup the Legends version's arms and the G1 gun), "I suppose if you don't have the 2010 Jazz" on Jazz, and "Yeah whatever" on Bumblebee. Come on, where's Wreck-Gar?

As a Jazz fan, the Special Ops Jazz is good, but my biggest want right now is a new Jazz with modern engineering and ankle tilts, so I'm really excited for this (if it's actually a G1 Jazz and not just a new movie one).

It's pretty weird that I may very well get new versions of two of my most wanted G1 characters (Jazz and Grimlock) through Studio Series.

Ankle tilts (which are fun, but which I can take or leave, myself) are the only "modern engineering" thing Special Ops Jazz doesn't have. Well, he also doesn't properly have 5mm hands, but those aren't exactly a "modern engineering" feature. He does however have compatibility with the original Jazz's missile launcher, so there's that. But you're right that this could just be a repack of movie Jazz (I don't think they'd do a new figure of him; what would be the impetus?) instead.

Something I didn't think of earlier: if it's a repack, wouldn't have the old UPC (whatever that number is supposed to represent)? Apparently, Bumblebee has been identified as an existing/already leaked figure because he has the same code as another release (now which one, I have no idea), and I haven't seen anything similar for Jazz.

EDIT: Here's the news article with the UPCs

What is up with all the hidden text? Not like any of this stuff has spoilers.

As for the new listings, this is giving my theory more hope. My theory is that the 86 guys are going to be there own sub line in SS, so they do not take away from the real SS figures. This would work how ER and Netflix siege figures are released now. There have been 5 real SS deluxes and 4 (possibly 5) 86 deluxes now leaked. With one 86 leader leaked, now we just need the two voyager figures and it will match up with how wave 1 of the Netflix figures were released. This is just my theory and hopes.

Interestingly, it also lines up well with the rumors that WFC 3 is subtitled "Kingdom" and is BW themed with a 50/50 or 45/55 split between BW and G1. Makes sense that they'd push some G1 figures into Studio Series so they can celebrate the 86 Movie's anniversary in one line and BW's anniversary in the other.

I'm hoping that with the 86 stuff being made that we get Beast Wars stuff in WFC part 3. But at this point I know I'm just setting myself up for disappointment because Warden's team is infatuated with G1 (as long as it's Sunbow)

Evidently, Apollux on TFW2005 knows a guy who has seen some of WFC 3, and called it "Kingdom" before that word started appearing on all of the Netflix posters. In addition to the stuff I said in my last comment, he also said that Micro/Battlemasters are being replaced by a new Legends-ish class, and the new Weaponizers are skeletal dinosaurs called Fossilizers.

Take it with a grain of salt as always, but similar leaks have been true in the past, like Catz leaking half of Earthrise.

Evidently, Apollux on TFW2005 has seen concept art and promotional images (not dissimilar to the POTP leaks) of WFC 3, and called it "Kingdom" before that word started appearing on all of the Netflix posters. In addition to the stuff I said in my last comment, he also said that Micro/Battlemasters are being replaced by a new Legends-ish class, and the new Weaponizers are skeletal dinosaurs called Fossilizers.

Take it with a grain of salt as always, but similar leaks have been true in the past, like Catz leaking half of Earthrise.

Speaking of Apollux, and more on-topic for this thread, from a post a half-hour ago they have apparently seen in terms of SS 86 stuff:
Voyager Scourge
Voyager Hot Rod, with saw and possibly flip-down visor
Kup with Energon goodies, presumably the Deluxe one in those earlier listings
Potential Leader Slag with Daniel

And given how much of the prominent movie cast is now here between various leaks, I'm assuming that that Cyclonus we saw a bit ago with ER Thrust is probably for SS 86 too.

Greetings Seibertronians! From LegoTFGuy over at fellow Transformers website, TFW2005, we've learned that some new potential Studio Series listings has leaked from the Walmart computer systems. The listings all follow a theme, as previously reported here, of being more '86 animated movie cast members.

The new listings is as follows:

TRA GEN SS DLX KUP $18.84
UPC 63050997823 Item 582921129
TRA GEN SS JAZZ $18.84
UPC 63050997833 Item 582921131
TRA GEN SS BLURR $18.84
UPC 63050997828 Item 582921135

Also listed are Jolt, Gnaw, Dino and Bumblebee.

While it could be argued that Jazz may be a redeco of his earlier Studio Series release, the same can not be said for Kup or Blurr who never appeared in the live action movies and featured heavily within the animated movie which celebrates it's 35th anniversary next year. This also hints that the previously seen Cyclonus may be destined for Studio Series, and not Earthrise as previously thought.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Autobot N, for sharing this on our boards.

What do you think of this? Looking forward to seeing these as part of the Studio Series line? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

That would be devastating if true. I’m pretty sure it’s the DOTM one, though.

Considering that we now have 5 standard SS deluxe listings (Sideswipe, B-127, Dino, Jolt, and ROTF Bee) and 4 SS86 deluxes (Gnaw, Blurr, Kup, and Jazz), I don’t think the 86 movie figures will be sharing waves with Bayverse SS, instead I’m pretty sure it’ll be its own subline.

I think they would have used the character's name if it was 1 of the Dinobots.

Studio Series GNAW? BLURR? KUP?

HOW?
WHEN?

Did they cameo'd for half a second in the intro of the Bee Movie, or is it a preview for the next movie?

Studio Series is getting some of the characters from the animated 86 movie.

This, I did link to the past article which confirmed Grimlock and Wheelie. I thought you'd commented on the talk about the 86 movie being incorporated then Kanrabat?

The last time they released the five Dinobots in POTP they all had a "Dinobot" prefix in their names on the packaging (e.g. - "Dinobot Snarl", "Dinobot Swoop", "Dinobot Grimlock", even "Dinobot Slash"). It would make sense for new listings to reflect that.

And it wasn't just a combiner subgroup thing since, while four of the five Terrorcons likewise had a "Terrorcon" prefix in their package names, Sinnertwin did not.

This.
Is.
Perfect!

I've skipped every Kup so far, but now want one to go with my Wreckers. Was almost ready to pull the trigger on the Legends Headmaster release, but no more!

Just further proof that if you're willing to be patient, Hasbro will eventually release the figure that scratches all your itches.

I hope, anyway.

Fair argument, my counter is that there is enough room in the listing to type out "Dinobot" instead of just "Dino" if this was the case. After all, they fit "Dlx Kup" on there. Same amount of space as "Dinobot" They also wrote out "Bumblebee" which is more letters than "Dinobot" as well, so I think it's Dino for sure.

Plus these are for deluxe size, where looking at the size of the Dinobots in the 86 movie, I reckon all will be voyager+ size (we already know that Grimlock will be leader sized) which leaves Dino in deluxe scale, to match the rest of the DotM wreckers

I'll be interested to see Studio Series Gnaw.

I wonder how faithful the Studio Series will be in representing The Movie roster though IE Four Dinobots and one Gestalt.

That poses an interesting idea: might we get a G1 Devastator in SS as well, and will they be all new molds or somehow the Bayverse figures get retooled to look G1?
