Transformers Studio Series VW Bumblebee Revealed, KSI Sentry, Shadow Raider, and More #HasbroSDCC

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.

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?)

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.

That new Bug Bee is a MUST buy for me. That is, unless it get catastrophic reviews.

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.

Story updated, did not notice it was different in the rush of images

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.

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!

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

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.
