Greetings Seibertronians!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Omegatron, we've learned that UK toy seller, In Demand Toys has repealed the next two releases for Transformers Studio Series, Voyager Class Age of Extinction Galvatron and Voyager Class Bumblebee Thundercracker!

Thundercracker is a redeco of Voyager Class Bumblebee Thrust, and is the second of the Seeker Trio to be released in this style.

Galvatron is a completely new mold, and tries once more to bring the impossible transformation to the toy. In the film, the cgi model never transformed the traditional way, instead breaking into cubes and reforming into its robot mode.

Galvatron looking pretty good all things considered, the scrunched up truck cab forming the torso reminds me of unique toys' design style.

Sweet! Thundercracker! Let's go! I love that seeker mold. Hopefully Skywarp next!

I don't know why, but I like the original galvatron better than this one. He just looks wrong. Yes, the backpack seems better than having the cab just be the back piece but... somethings off to me

Honestly, I'm not sure what else they could have done.

Galvatron is one of those toys where a leader class slot may have allowed him to have a closer looking robot mode with more parts of the truck hidden.

Wasn't a criticism, I like they're design ideas, but I agree

Oh I know, I apologise if it came off sounding that way.

Galvatron doesn't look perfect, but he looks okay, besides, the AOE Decepticons were clearly nor designed with vehicle mode accuracy in mind, honestly some of the Autobots weren't much better, but the Decepticons in AOE dissolved into little fragments and reformed for their robot modes. unless Hasbro did a massive LEGO set for each one, they'd never be fully accurate.
At least the ruck cab is better integrated this time.

So if Thundercracker and Galvatron are 89and 90, I wonder what 87 and 88 are? One may be the leaked Sideways? Not sure about the other

Galvatron does have some noodle arms, but I think he looks better on the back of the box render than the stock photo. Either way, I think he looks pretty good! Looks like they did a good job with the transformation, and the sculpted detail is on point!

We have to be seeing DOTM Bee really soon!

Thundercracker paint looks good!

Galvatron feels like he is very cool figure,he just need more high res/definition pictures to show that.

Day 854 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Now that almost all the Bumblebee movie bots are out of the way, I hope we get Core Class Dispensor one day. I know it's probably not going to happen, but the existence of the core class makes it a bit less implausible now. Also hoping for a tiny Frenzy to come packaged with someone, that one I think is way more likely.

That would rock. But i wonder if marketing costs (paying Mountain Dew) would make that figure cost-prohibitive...

I do too, as a toy. But the deco here is much better and the kibble is more integrated, rather than just being a flat backpack behind the figure. I think what I dislike here is how obvious all the pins are, he doesn't look like a cohesive robot.

The Galvatron looks good, all things considered. They obviously couldn't recreate the CGI mess of Transformium and at least he's a lot less of a shellformer than the previous AoE toy (without the super long legs, too.) plus the more silvery look is a lot better than the bare grey plastic we got previously.
I think they did a solid gold star's worth for the toy.

Yeah, Galvatron should have been leader sized.

Chefatron posted a review on Sideways:

I’m still not convinced that he isn’t mistransformed - based on where his arms are relative to his head I still think the headlight portions can rotate upwards, bringing his shoulders below his head.

Based on the first picture we got, I’m pretty sure the kibble from the back of the car can rotate up to sit on his back, which is screen accurate and gets rid of the kibble hanging down in bot mode (which we didn’t see in the first picture.

It also appears that the window wings can not slide closer together.

Good to see confirmation that the real and faux tires on the hands combine, and there’s even the saw blades on them!
