Live from the Hasbro floor at San Diego Comic Con, we have our next round of reveals: Studio Series! The reveals for this line include several repaints and a brand new mold: the Bumblebee VW bug body from the Bumblebee movie! The new figure is based on his look for the upcoming Bumblebee movie, out in December. Also revealed is the new Dark of the Moon styled Ratchet, the voyager Ironhide and tattooed Starscream, an orange decoed Lockdown that sort of reminds us of Blazing Lockdown (now confirmed to be called Shadow Raider!), and a blue Stinger that represents the KSI Sentries from Age of Extinction!
Also of note, that golden Studio Series Bumblebee based on his original movie body from 2007? Well, it appears as though that truly was merely volume 1, as we also have images of the new Studio Series Bumblebee movie Bee in a similar set with Decepticon Uriad and an Autobot Zauru, labeled as Volume 2!
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
Edited with new Images including MPM-6 Ironhide, MPM-5 Barricade, and other Studio Series figures, and now the correct names for Shadow Raider and KSI Sentry!

i just do not like that backpack on the bumblebee for the movie. I was really hyped for this figure but the figure just disappointed me with that backpack. i am willing to give it a second chance with more pictures and reviews from either Emgo or Optibotimus

The SDCC Bumblebee fakeout was clever. Saves them from spoiling the new Bee figure and now makes the set more worth getting. Still probably won’t get it, but now I’m interested.
Lockdown’s new weapon looks suspiciously foldable... I predict that it’s able to extend and attach to Lockdown’s face to make his gunface mode.
Blue Stinger (or Trax, whatever) I would probably buy two of as like army builders for Stinger to lead into battle.

blue stinger? orange lockdown? WTF? Are they trying to do some weird camouflage thing?
I'm Lockdown and I'm as orange as the sun and therefore no one can find me
I'm Stinger and I'm so blue that I'm sad that they gave me this kind or repaint

Can someone explain to me the blue Stinger guy?
EDIT: I looked up Trax (on TFWiki) and it seems to be a cross between that guy and G1 Tracks or something.
Also, as someone else mentioned, this looks like a new set. The cassettes have different decos. (In total 1 original set and 1 Decepticon set?)

The 2007 gold bumblebee was probably not a fake out considering that this versions box says volume 2 while the original one said volume 1

What fakeout? That's a completely different set from the one with the golden classic Camaro. That was Vol. 1 and comes with the normal version of Dial and the Decepticon recolor of Zaur. This is Vol. 2 and comes with the Decepticon recolor of Dial and the normal version of Zaur.

Most likely a representation of one of the KSI-created Decepticons from Age of Extinction. Which particular one though, you got me.

Intresting color palette for Lockdown. Would have preferred a green one so that it sorta looked like animated Lockdown. That being said he's got a new weapon and head sculpt so I might buy it to add onto the orginal release. BB Bumblebee looks alright but these photos are doing him no favors (no disrespect to the photographer) The battle mask is a pleasant surprise too.

You guys got it wrong, the previous Retro Rock Cafe is Volume 1, with a Decepticon Urauz and an Autobot Dile. This one is Retro Pop Highway, Volume 2, with a Decepticon Uriad and an Autobot Zauru. Different sets.

But on a serious note, is it really too much to ask for for the Transformers people to transform their figures properly? Like I'm getting tired of having to wait for reviewers to show it properly themselves. its just bad marketing. the transformers people are showing off their figures poorly causing people like me to be disgusted by that mpm ironhide, due to mistransformation. this is their specialty. Making transformers so if you want to make it right, then show it right so that the fans can actually see the good sides of all the toys and figures that they show off. like people always say, "pls show my good side." i want the transformers to be properly transformed and showed like they should be on their packaging instead of things being misaligned and out of place making the whole figure look ugly and just not worth buying

Also after some observation and checking the wiki: the Volkswagen Bumblebee is in a 2-pack with what appears to be TLK Bumblebee, and Trax comes with some cool claw that attaches to his arm-kibble gun rather than Stinger’s shuriken.

Don't start hating Bee just yet! The backpack is clearly mistransformed, like how it is in the box. It surely folds up more. The new Blue vehicon, I guess was the rumored KSI drone, unless we are getting the KSI BOSS, which would be an easy Nitro retool.That Lockdown is odd, but the Dotm Ratchet has a WAAAY better paintjob on the face! Love all the images, but Hopefully we get pics of that bonecrusher!
Also, Studio Series Longarm anyone? I know he only showed up as a lifeless Truck, but still.....

Holy crap holy crap holy crap.
Ok, let's break this down:
The new VW Bumblebee looks really good and comes with a lot of accessories; there's a second masked head, a sword, and presumably his plasma cannon. He's also apparently packed with a seemingly unaltered TLK Bumblebee for some reason. An evolution 2-pack, it seems. It's unfortunate that the wings don't seem to fold away like they do in the footage we've seen so far, but it still looks good.
Blue Stinger is bizarre, I'll have to rewatch AOE to look for any drones that look like that. The extra spike in the arm cannon looks cool at least.
DOTM Ratchet's gun looks awesome, but he looks really unpainted (even by SS Ratchet standards), I think this is more along the lines of a prototype.
Sunstreaker Yellow Lockdown is really bizarre. that gun he's holding looks like it may function as a facegun.
Anyways, that was. . . unexpected. VW Bee looks good though, so I'm happy!

Hmmmm the Trax isn't what I would of preferred since it doesn't transform into the Chevy Trax like the movie but for what it is, it's pretty neat and actually represents them in general pretty well.
Definitly looks like something that would of been eventually designed by KSI.
I presume that Lockdown is either a new character, a what if character like SS Thundercracker, a representation of one of Lockdown's henchmen from AOE, or it's this other KSI related character given form.
The oh so memorable orange McLaren Decepticon!

We got confirmation from floor-walker Va'al that the blue Stinger repaint is actually a KSI Sentry, and the orange Lockdown repaint is named Shadow Raider. (Not Shadow Raider Lockdown, just Shadow Raider - interesting!) We've updated the article to reflect that now

I'm not sure if it was here or at TFW2005 but in a SS Bug Bee photo you can see either the boxes for one Bug and one Camaro hard up against each other, or as a double-pack. That's cool. Not for me though: I promised myself the only SS Bee I'd get would be the Bug!
I got really excited when I saw SS24 Bug Bee's box behind MPM Ironhide! I'm very keen on it except I'm not a fan of the rust effect.

With those colours, they just end up looking like fruity robots
Sure, he's a KSI bot, so just another random grunt at the end of Age of Extinction
Yeah, its a two pack, MOTHERFUCKER!
Yup new character.
With the price hike these have gotten in my neck of the woods, I will only stick to new molds so out of all this only that new Bee is what I will get. its weird because Hasbro was very keen on saying last time that there would be no repaints aside from Thundercracker.

I’m sure VW Bee will be sold by himself though. I guess it’s a good opportunity for anyone who didn’t find TLK Bee at retail.
Looking forwards to (hopefully) some new mold SS figures tomorrow!

Hmmmm I remember a statement that was made that cases like Thundercracker would only be made with intention of how they would be like if they actually were in the movies. (Seems to be for bios and backdrops too if Thundercracker and him supposing being one of the many cons from the moon in dotm is any indication)
Not sure on Shadow Raider but I can totally see this with the Sentry.

...well, I agree that VW Bee looks to be mistransformed looking at that back, so I will need to see more to pass judgement. I can see what they're going for with Trax/Sentry there, but he looks too much like Stinger to me right now, and I can't find clear pictures of Traxes in the movie that aren't red. As for Gun-Face Lockdown Shadow Raider...why is he orange? It looks so...odd.

Man, I was all set to go completionist on this line but with the weir repaints and 2 different exclusive Bumblebees (3, if the VW Bee is only available with the Last Knight one?) I think I'm out. Do we have any idea what the deal is with the gold VW Bee or is there just the picture so far? I hope it's not too expensive or tough to track down and buy, PotP has been giving me a hard enough time with 4 dang Amazon exclusives in a row.

There sort of were but they were vehicle mode only.

Do you mean Chevy Trax specifically?
If so yes there were...hmmmm seems they were dark blue instead of light blue but I remember the ones seen in Hong Kong being bright blue.
So I guess this might be more accurate.

If you mean if there were any blue Pagani's then no, Stinger's car was the only one.
For blue cars in general it was just the blue Trax's and a blue lambo (Alongside a green one) that were barely in the movie.
On second note, turns out I might have been misrembering them being bright blue.
Reminds me of this and how excited I was seeing these vehicles that might have been Transformers in the end 1 was Galvatron, Stinger and Junkheap weren't even characters really, two didn't even transform at all.
I have a feeling that Shadow Raider might be based off the orange McLaren.

I'mm having the VW Bee. Looks good to me and nice accessories. Not sure which I'll get. Reguler yellow plastic, or shiny gold. Like the gold beaterbee I'd probably sell those tapes cos I really am not keen on G1 cassettes.
Blue Stinger looks oddly appealing to me. As does that orange Lockdown with the masked head. Both Ironhides (studio and MPM) look slightly mistransformed in their torso areas (cos i've seen both with the more correct configurations). Starscream is a definite. Ratchet in his DotM scheme looks nice too.

Yup seems like it based off the back of the box.
Anyways for KSI cars here is a screen with basically all of the known ksi vehicles in the movie with the exceptions of Junkheap, Two Heads and KSI Bosses (The latter two don't really have known modes but based on Nitro Zeus the bosses might turn into some form of jet).
The green and blue lambos in the back with the Orange McLaren and the white Aston Martin, Galvatron in the middle, Chevy traxes in the known colors of Red, White, Black and Blue, finally Stinger in front.

So, to put it in other words, the blue Stinger is meant to be a toy for a kind of KSI Prototype, but not a kind that was actually in the movie. Oops.

...speaking of the back of that box, who's that red figure with the gun in the cross-promotion at the bottom, SS-17? Is that Shatter from the Bumblebee movie, or someone else? SS-17 was one of the ones we don't know yet, right?

Could be the orange Lockdown. Hard to tell but the general shape looks similar (including what could be the wheels on the back of the lower legs) and holding that gun.

Yes, the blue Pagani is not in the movie but rather a sort of combination homage to the Trax drones, (To this stay I prefer Vehicons to their "official" names since that's really what they are sort of) and since the default look is red I guess Hasbro didn't want to have two red bots with the same mold so they choose blue. (White and Black were either probably too boring or they just went with blue randomly) they also might have gone with blue because Trax=Tracks or something.
So something that doesn't exist but easily could.

I do like that gold Bumblebee much MUCH more than the yellow version (to the point I was happy to pass on the yellow version). Hopefully I have a chance to pick it up.

Might be Shatter, at first glance I thought it was the Voyager Prime but I guess that doesn't make sense, it could either be Shatter, Shadow Raider or maybe...just maybe it could be that Dino listing from a few days ago. (Because I doubt that Siege will have a Dino in it)
Also is that the regular Jazz on the right or is that a repaint (Smokescreen?) of the figure?

Looking at it from a certain angle with my eyes it's definitely Shadow Raider (Pretty cool name honestly) mostly due to the shoulder "bullet/missiles" that Lockdown has on it, as well as the weapon (and the pose it's holding it) as well as the general color pallet.
I sort of wish that the repaint/remold was Axor

...yeah, looking at it again, I think you and the others are correct in that it's Shadow Raider, the lighting in that picture just made him look more red than orange at first. I guess that makes Shadow Raider SS-17, so he comes out probably in the same wave as or the wave before ROTF Screamer.
Well, it looks silver and it appears to say SS-10, which is Jazz, so I'm guessing it's just Jazz. Wow, the numbers really make this kind of thing easier.

Honestly, when I read KSI Sentry before I saw the picture, I thought it would be a retool of Nitro Zeus to KSI Boss 
but I love all of these reveals. VW Bee looks awesome even if the backback doesn't fold up all the way and it reveals his weapons in the movie. I'm strangely liking orange Lockdown and Blue Stinger, though they feel less like characters in the movie and more like selling cars in those colors. DOTM Ratchet is still likable to me and I might just get him for the gun. Overall, I'm happy

One thing stands out to me with these Studio Series reveals. There are still no new Leader releases. Not even an easy repaint of Blackout as Grindor, amid all of these other repaints, some that don't even make any sense (e.g., Blue Stinger, Orange Lockdown).

I would love a Leader class Evac with a new head and the raft gun to replace Scorps
I would love to go back to the old days of the toy line only characters like Stockade (Awesome toy and character) and Landmine even if it's just repaints to fill out the line.
(How about Cliffjumper from the Camaro with a new head and horns on the hood like TFP or Smokescreen with a different weapon and maybe a different head sculpt?)

Didn't notice that rustic look to the yellow version of VW Bee until I saw this close up. What's the code on the hood though? Is that just a test shot code thing and not actually on the released toy? Also is that someone's hair on his rear wheel? I'd rather not have that.
(and please no Leader class repaints... Grindor might get a pass but non-movie characters, no thanks. They're far too expensive and space-consuming for me and I was hoping to kinda get collect every figure in this line)

Not having TLK Bee nor the original SS Bee, I'd buy that 2-pack in a heartbeat. Plus Camaro Bee's issue should have been fixed by now.

Yeah, its a two pack, ****!
I’m sure VW Bee will be sold by himself though. I guess it’s a good opportunity for anyone who didn’t find TLK Bee at retail.
Looking forwards to (hopefully) some new mold SS figures tomorrow!

I just had a closer look at the pictures, and I saw the Vol. 2 Gold VW Bee has the backpack transformed properly and much nicer looking. I was gonna like this VW Bee but now, it has to be my new favorite Bumblebee toy . I mean, awesome looking Beetle and Robot modes, flip down battle mask, sweet Jaeger sword and gun, wow, this Bee is just boss

I don’t think I like the colors on that SS ROTF Starscream as much as I did on the render we got not too long ago. I’m happy with the movie 1 SS Screamer.
I’m totally getting that DOTM Ratchet though. The paint needs a lotof work, but that gun is so cool looking. The brighter green and grey instead of white almost make me think it could be AOE Ratchet. The only practical difference it would make is the backdrop, but Ratchet’s shade of green in AOE always looked a bit more vibrant than it was in DOTM to me for some reason.
