Been a while since I've seen revenge of the Fallen, but did jet prime really have the two halves of the blackbird cockpit on his shoulders?

mistransformed because they are blocky as heck.

We already got tank megs as a Voyager which fits the size chart better. Why would they make a leader version?

Because why would a Truck the size of Prime have to be a leader class toy? There's no reason to make a truck be leader sized, when your other leader sized items are a Helicopter and a Dinosaur.

Is that only word fans know when looking at new toy pictures is MISTRANSFORMED can’t go into one new topic without someone saying mistransformed probably first word pops in there head before commenting on what they think about toy them self it’s no crime toys are on display to show people what they can expect to buy in stores.,

Is mechanic go to car show talk about new car they can buy in yeah how car have three seats not four car itself is for display only to look at not to sit in not chance.,

Transformer toys where never in scale in with another look generation one Optimus prime standing next to generation one metroplex out of scale.

Megaton looks good on both modes

Yep!


I've heard that the original SS Prime can't combine with Jetfire (which seems to be supported by the extra tabs on Prime's forearms), which is weird. You'd think the main selling point of ROTF Prime (other than the swords) now that we have a much better looking version would be combining with Jetfire.

Don't know if ROTF Prime being unable to combine is confirmed or not, though.

Dragons - No, it’s not the only word fans know. It’s just being used appropriately. There isn’t anything wrong with pointing something out.
The fandom has come to expect a certain level of progression from these lines. And for a toy line that specifically strives for screen accuracy and scale (within reason), when something doesn’t look right, it really, really stands out. And this new Megs really stands out. His blockiness is just bizarre when compared to every other figure in this line. So unless this new figure is some clunky aberration, then I’d lay odds that he is mistransformed. Add to that that the majority of the times we see these new reveals at shows, some of the figures are actually mistransformed. It happens. It’s certainly not the end of the world, but it is worth mentioning. Less someone sees a figure that looks bad, because it isn’t transformed correctly, and forms a negative opinion of that figure as a result.


On the positive side; I’m very pleased to see that this Jetfire and Prime combine. I’m looking forward to seeing some close up shots, or renders of their combined mode. That Bonecrusher looks like everything I was hoping he’d be. I can’t overstate how reassuring that is. I’m pretty pumped to see the rest of the Constructicons now.

Well said Bucky.

@EvasionmodeBumblebee thanks for the refresh! I stand connected. Also it is odd that the prime that he's supposed to combine with (rotf) he can't but the one he's supposed to combine with is actually based off his appearance in the 07 movie...

I think the reason Jetpower Prime works is that they are in scale with each other.Last time in RoTF Optimus AND Jetfire were leader classes.Now only Jetfire is a leader class and Optimus is voyager.

The more I look at this new SS Prime the more mold differences I'm finding. Thought I'd list them here:

- New SS Prime has tabs on his forearms, probably for Jetfire combination

- Obvious chest remolding

- Fuel tanks appear to be remolded

- Back piece / truck top on old SS Prime (where the swords can plug into in robot mode) is new, doesn't have the ports for the swords and can instead split into different pieces for more robot-mode accuracy.

- Lower pieces on the truck mode grill for new SS Prime are new, appear to be hinged and can seemingly separate from the rest of the grill.

- (This is the one I just noticed) - New SS Prime doesn't have the red pieces on his thighs that the upper tires are attached to - the tires now sit closer to the leg.

Optimus may actually be the figure I'm most excited about from these reveals. He looks SO good!

Edit: Now, the paint on the final products often differs, but in the art for the new SS Prime he has painted hubcaps too

Well, fuck.

To go along with the reveals of Studio Series 07 movie Optimus Prime and Bonecrusher, we now have the official images from Hasbro's presentation! These are both Voyager scale, and while Optimus Prime is a retool of the already released RotF Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher is a completely new mold, and the pair of them look ready to throw down like that iconic scene in the 2007 live action movie. These were revealed at Comic Con Paris.





UPDATE:

We now have an official image for Leader Class Jetfire showing off this versions alt mode,this also comes from the same presentation that revealed 07 Prime and Bonecrusher.



These images can also be found on the Transformers Facebook page.

Also fellow Seibertron user Evasion Mode Bumblebee, has been kind enough to point out some of the changes between the two Optimus Prime releases. It's also believed that 07 Prime has been altered to combine with the Leader Class Jetfire revealed earlier, and who you can see again in the picture above.

What do you think of these? Will you be double dipping on Prime? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I'm glad I skipped the first Prime. This one looks much better in terms of molding and colors. Now all we need is '09 Concept Camaro Bumblebee!

Sigmus Prime wrote:I'm glad I skipped out on the first Prime. This one looks much better in terms of molding and colors.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Even though I doubt he will perfectly reflect the 3D render above I can see he will look better and we will get a new combining Optimus and Jetfire, plus the Voyager/Leader thing makes sense, Optimus probably is smaller that Jetfire, what with how one is a jet plane and the other is a semi-truck.

Sigmus Prime wrote: Now all we need is '09 Concept Camaro Bumblebee!

YES.

Although I'd be happy with the concept Camaro modes from any of the first 3 movies. DOTM would be my dream, but I think the MV1 concept Camaro mode is in greater need of a deluxe update.

I'm ok with them taking their time with it too though, we do have a lot of Bees in SS right now (not that I'm complaining).

Also, thanks for newsing my SS Prime comparison, Zerowolf!

I don’t have the first Optimus so I can’t say for sure and this is a retool but doesn’t optimus look like he shares some transformation elements with TF Prime first edition Optimus? I see it in the arms and fake chest

Thank you for making it things like that are a great help to show people what the differences are.

I think that I am officially done with Tak/Tomy/Hasbro. I am more and more finding myself drawn to third-party TFs. Got FT-10 Phoenix and TW-C07 Green Constructor with TW-C07F Weathered Yellow on pre-order from BBTS. Just bought DX9 D08 Gewalt and DX9 D05 Chigurh.

I will create a battle diorama with these figures, but I am selling the TW-C07 Green Constructor and will add another Autobot combiner like MT Quantron or FT-20 Terminus Giganticus Aegis Sentinel A&B to aid FT-10 Phoenix in the battle for peace. The horrid movies really ruined it for me. I am happy to say goodbye to licensed TFs for good. I must admit though that I find the Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Drift with Mini Dinobots exceptionally cute for all the right reasons.

I got the first Optimus because I needed my plastic fix and he was on sale.
Turn out he's bad.

But that new one who is definitely not a lazy repaint may be worth getting.
Oh yeah, and that Bonecrusher too. He'll replace my 2007 deluxe in my Bey Constructicons display for sure.

Yeah, add me to the list of people that are glad they didn't get the original Voyager Op. I only have a few SS figures, but I try to collect good Prime figures and that first one just wasn't doing it for me. Now I'm pretty sure I want the new Prime and Jetfire.

Emerje

Don't blame you replacing the original Bonecrusher, he should have been a Voyager from day one.

News article has been updated with new picture of Jetfire.

Interesting. Bonecrusher still looks like he’s carrying a lot of vehicle kibble on his forearms, but at least they seem allocated better and aren’t gangly monstrosities. The size class should help too. I don’t expect him to be huge, but much like Ironhide have his price point go into making him hefty and beefy.

While I don't collect Studio Series (budget reasons, mostly) I can safely that this Bonecrusher looks pretty damn good. If the final figure is anything close to the promo images then this may very well be the definitive Movie Bonecrusher.

Hot diggity dammit there goes my wallet again!

Oh hell yes. I AM BUYING ALL THESE TOYS.

I mean I love the current Studio Series Optimus Prime and he's been one of the most fun TF figures I've ever owned. Frickin' love his proportions and posability more than any other Prime. And this new one is even better. The new chest looks great (and yay for blue doors on there this time) and I like how the wheel parts on the upper legs are much more streamlined now too. Also can use the swords from the first one with this one too. And I like how the new backpack isn't so square too. And of course I'll add paint to the new one and buy another set of Toyhax Studio Prime stickers to add the flames.

Jetfire looks far better than his old toy and still combines with a Prime? Great.

Bonecrusher. Yep, he's fine. Voyager class. Good good.

BUt man, that Prime is gorgeous. Everything I love about the current figure but even better! Still puzzled as to why Hasbro's paint budget doesn't extend to robot mode flames anymore but yeah Toyhax helps there. I neeeeeed these.

looks like i have been rewarded for waiting on studio series prime and not buying the wave 1 version. so far may very well buy all of the ones revealed here, jetfire looks way better than the original, so that + blackbird = buy. prime's chest and over all look is better, so i'll gladly buy him. bonecrusher is just....YES. can't wait to see more pics of megatron

Sweet. OP looks way better than the previous version, although if it's the same mold he's probably still a touch too short IMO.

Bonecrusher looks to be a huge improvement over the deluxe, althought that's kind of faint praise since the deluxe was terrible. Arms still look really weird on this version for some reason. Hope he's pretty big to make up for no accessories.

Jetfire looks OK, love the axe. Still looks really panelformer like the original, hopefully he's way easier to transform and combine than that version.

From what I remember from the movie, Bonecrusher was either the same size or slightly smaller than Optimus. I'd say he's probably gonna be the size of Titans Return Cerebros. Of course, his legs are bent, so he might be taller when standing straight.

I still cna't get over how great the new chest is on Prime. I dunno how it transforms and fits into the transformation compared to the first release but it's so much better. Both in removing the middle joint bit and how the door bits are now overlapping the red windows to some extent whereas on the first version they basically sit next to them. Man, I'm more excited for a retool of one of my fave recent figures than I am for any other upcoming action figure.

One note as pointed out by Quantum_Surge to me on Twitter is that the red parts on the lower legs that folded over when the wheels were rotated up to the thighs no longer seem to fold on the new figure. Like I told them, it doesn't bother me that much cos the wheels themselves still move correctly (and the ones above are now aligned with them) but it's still worth pointing out.

Jetfire does look panel-former-y, but more along the lines of the way he did in the movie. He's probably going to have some robot junk showing in the undercarriage but nowhere near as bad as the RotF Leader (for one thing, his legs actually turn into the engines). Based on the lack of a seam in his head and a seeming lack of faux-Blackbird nose halves elswhere... I would lay odds that he does not combine with Prime. And yay for the axe!

Speaking of, the revamped Optimus is an enormous improvement. They fixed the flat chest.

DotM Megatron being a Leader-class figure would seem to wreck the robot mode scale the series has been going for (unless properly transforming him fixes that), but there's an upside: He would be able to work better with older toys as a stand-in for the DotM Leader Megatron we never got because they gave us a @!#$ing leader Bumblebee instead.

But he does. The revised Prime at least.

Jetfire does combine with Prime, specifically the 07 prime (which is odd as the combination happened in RotF)

The forearm panels look shorter on the new one too. They seem to go as high as just above the elbow joint on the new figure whereas on the current one they almost go as high as the bottom of the shoulder pads. Not sure if that's actually new size or just a perspective thing. Either way both are way better than the damn forearm panels of the Battle Blades mold that heavily get in the way of the arm articulation on that figure.



Anyways I love these new reveals and I have money here for all of them when Hasbro decide it's time to give these to us. I'm off to bed now. Gotta do two performances of the play I'm in tomorrow (ugh I hate matinees) so I need rest and yay more awesome Studio figures to look forward to in 2019! Goodnight.

ZeroWolf, the only difference between '07 and ROTF Prime in the movies is more weathering in robot mode in ROTF. That's it. So this one works just as well as an ROTF Prime. I would hope it comes with two guns and not just the one shown, but it's not a strong hope since even the bloody Masterpiece toy screwed that up.

Yeah, I missed that the first time I looked at page 127. Although are we 100% sure that is Jetfire and not an add-on pack?

Frankly, I would rather see an official Jetpower add-on pack for Prime (like the unfortunate Jetwing add-on for the DotM retool of ROTF Leader Prime) since you could never hope to make a Jetfire that turned into an accurate Jetfire and accurate Jetpower armor because of the leg extensions.
That said, due to the "Obligatory 3l3c7r0niX!!1!!!" phase being over except for Titan-class citybots, if that is Jetfire there it'll be less of a mess than the original.

Because DOTM Megs isn't just a truck the size of prime, it is a truck and trailer which would take up at least twice the volume when the trucks were in scale with each other.

Edit: I'd love to see some side by side shots of Prime and Megs in truck modes for comparison.

They are different types of trucks.

Prime is a Peterbilt cab, while Megatron is old timey Mack Cab.

In reality, a Peterbilt Cab is about .75% the length of a Mack Cab + Tanker.

Basically what you are saying is a Truck that is normally 25 feet long should be larger than a Cybertronian Tank, and a Helicopter (Blackout) that in real life is 88ft long.

You're missing the point.
MEGATRON IS NOT JUST A CAB, HE'S ALSO A FREAKING TRAILER

Bunch of size comparison charts I Googled say he's about 25 feet tall, so slightly shorter than OP (28 feet) and same height as Brawl.

This is the one case I'm hoping they ignore the size chart and actually make him the same size as OP or bigger, partially because I think SS OP is too short, and partially because I'll probably use him with my movie 1 and RotF toy display, and those are all WAY bigger than the SS toys.

Earlier today, we posted a news article on the stock photos for the toys revealed at Paris Comic-Con 2018. Now, we have some nice and big hi-res images of the new toys, which also lack the black background of the previous images. we also have product descriptions, telling us the toys' number, accessories, and more. Check them out below, and tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below!

Well it looks like I'll be making my first SS purchase with Jetfire. Although I am confused...why would they have him combine with Movie 1 Prime? Shouldn't it be with the RotF Prime which is currently out?

Also I do see there are some technical differences with the current RotF Voyager, and this new Movie 1 Prime, but they really didn't change in between films. I never thought I'd say this, but this is one time it should have been a straight up repaint, but it wasn't ...how very odd. But Still I'm glad. This is one I was hoping would happen. The other, being Devstator...I know is going to be more complicated, if ever done

I'm really only doing 2007 movie figure. All things considered I have alot of nostalgia for the hype around the movie, the excitement, the fanboyoutrage, crazy weird toys after Galaxy Force. Seeing that Studio Series bonecrusher and comparing it my 11 year old Jungle bonecrusher really makes me excited. Though I will say not sure if i'll double dip on prime just for a slightly more more movie accurate chest, gun, and brighter color pallet. I might totally get Jetfire, I totally missed out on the ROTF one, plus it's always nice to get another Blackbird robo!

Because he combines with Jetfire they retooled bits to make him do that and to be closer accurate to the movies

Since they already sold a ROTF Voyager Optimus that didn't combine with Jetfire, they probably just rebranded him to differentiate the old one and this one to the stores that buy them.

After spending most of today trying to figure out why my back was suddenly in agony and trying to fix it, I finally have time to comment on this, yay (why do I have back pain I'm barely an adult)!

All these look good, although Megatron seems a bit iffy. His Mad Max tanker mode looks amazing, but his robot mode is lacking in that picture. Optimus is surprisingly way better than the previous SS one, the mouthplate and the brighter colors make him pop a lot more, and Bonecrusher is a vast improvement from his old Deluxe. I'm also glad they made Jetfire able to combine, as someone whose first exposure to TF media was the Unicron Trilogy I always get happy and nostalgic when I see Optimus-Jetfire combined modes.

That being said, the only one of these I'm going to be picking up is Bonecrusher. I don't need another OP or Megatron, and I prefer Jetfire to be less creepy old man. Bonecrusher though, I have a space for, as I love the Movie Constructicon designs (and Bonecrusher, as he only kinda counts) way more than the G1 versions, and I'm mostly just involved in SS to fill out my Decepticon ranks.

So yeah, I can't wait to grab my new SS-31 Bonecrusher when he's out, he'll be my first SS Voyager figure-wait.

Wait, Bonecrusher's SS-ThirtyTHREE?

WHO'S 31!?!?

Also, he's paired with Bonecrusher, referencing the highway battle scene in the first movie.

I really hope those wheels in Bonecrusher's feet roll and aren't just solid fake wheels. His roller derby of death was one of my favorite things about him.

So, here's a question. How are they marketing Jetfire? As an Autobot or Decepticon? Cause he had the con brands, but his description implies they'll brand him an Autobot

Sentinel_Primal wrote:So, here's a question. How are they marketing Jetfire? As an Autobot or Decepticon? Cause he had the con brands, but his description implies they'll brand him an Autobot

The same way they marketed him back in 2009

With DOTM megatron and Jetfire beings two of the three leaders in the lineup for next year, I’m still confused on who the third one will be

My biggest takeaway from this is how the term "Movie 1" has now become an official descriptor!

It's been a while since I was genuinely exited for movie figures. Guess I'll get all 3.

Why would they have him combine with Movie 1 Prime and not the ROTF-labeled one that's currently out? Because Movie 1 Prime has been modified to actually support the combination. And to have a chest that doesn't look like it used the 2007 Optimus toys for reference.

As I stated previously, the only change to Optimus' body between Movie 1 and RotF is just that he's a bit more weathered in robot mode. It's a very minor cosmetic thing. There is literally no reason you can't use "Movie 1" Optimus for ROTF scenes. Obviously you'd have to borrow the inferior previous version's swords for some of it, but then you'd have to do that for his fight with Bonecrusher anyway.

I think that you and I are in a very small minority on these boards, of people who actually really like the first SS Prime. Despite his flaws, which are primarily his bulky chest and dark color scheme, he’s an absolutely stellar figure in my opinion. I feel that his playability, posability, and balance more than make up for his lack of screen accuracy. I realize that said lack of screen accuracy does make him a deviation from the line’s intent, but at the end of the day I strangely find myself not caring, Wave 1 Prime is just plain fun. I could be wrong here, but if he weren’t in a line dedicated to scale and on screen aesthetics, I don’t think as many people would feel so negatively about him.

That being said, I am totally ready to get this new Prime as soon as he hits shelves or HTS. He looks phenomenal.



The more I look at these shots and renders, the more excited I get. There’s a notable improvement in the quality and accuracy of these figures, when compared to their respective predecessors. And the sculpting in this line thus far can’t be overstated. I don’t think it’s far fetched to say that Has/Tak, by and large, are giving those of us who are movie toy fans what we want.

I had been on the fence for a long while, hemming and hawing about whether or not I should pick up the Movie Best Bonecrusher, because I really wanted a Bonecrusher, and never got the original release. Now I’m glad that I debated with myself as much as I did. I’m sure the original one is an “okay” figure, but this is closer to what I want from a figure of that character,

As much as I do like the first Jetfire, this new one looks to have done away with all his major flaws. The end result is a more streamlined, screen accurate representation. As it’s been pointed out, his noggin does appear to be a little oversized, but I think he did have a largish head in the movie. In any event, they did away with the horrible electronic components (a gimmick in toys which I haven’t enjoyed or used since childhood), and a good amount of the kibble. I never understood what those dangly parts were for in the original toy. They don’t even tab in anywhere.


I’m sure someone else has to have brought this up before, but I think part of the reason why I’m in love with this line is because it’s very meat and potatoes. It has a simple mission statement; on screen characters, screen accuracy and scale. With the exception of the KSI troop builder and Shadow Raider (an argument could be made for the sheer volume of ‘Bees but he does vary from film to film, and some are exclusives) there’s little filler. Or at least it isn’t egregious.

There’s also no line wide gimmick, for which I am immensely grateful. Most of the time, I feel that gimmicks hamper a line, and hold back its potential. The only stand out exception I can think of was Titans Return, because it worked well for the line, most of the time, and because I have a lot of love for Headmasters. But there’s no electronics, no oversized spring loaded weapons, no auto morphing, no combining, no linking, no armor, no weird swirly paint/plastic, no pack-in comics to justify a price point for an undersized line of figures. None of that. It really is like the early Generations version of a comprehensive movie line of toys. And I really appreciate that. I’m not a fan of gimmicks in general.

...except, and I’m just putting this out there, I do kind of miss C-clips. I don’t even know if that could be called a full fledged gimmick though. Those were cool.

Yes! Jetwing prime will be a partsformer combination!
