Transformers Studio Series Wave 4 Revenge of the Fallen Starscream Up on Hasbro Toy Shop

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Oct 25, 2018 at 9:57pm CDT 26,163 views
Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Terrsolpix, we have word that the wave 4 Studio Series voyager Revenge of the Fallen Starscream is now up and available for order on Hasbro Toy Shop! This figure is a repaint of the wave 1 voyager Starscream in his Revenge of the Fallen deco, complete with all kinds of Cybertronian tattoos. He also features a new accessory in the form of his saw, replacing his missile launcher. This is a new trend in the Studio Series, which has been seen now with Lockdown (melee weapons to gun) and Ratchet (saw to blaster), and is expected to be seen with Optimus Prime (swords to blaster).

Head on over to the site now, either by clicking the above link or the image below, and let us know if you pick this guy up and what you think of him when you do!

Anyone have an idea when Dropkick will be available? That's the one I'm really looking forward to.

HTS has a pretty erratic release schedule, but I wouldn’t say much later than mid-late November. Screamer was the first wave 4 figure to release so dropkick shouldn’t be too far behind.

Don't we still need to fill in the gaps for at least a dozen or so that haven't been numbered up to that point?


We're at no. 30 now, with 32 Optimus Prime redeco, and 36 Autobot Drift with baby Dinobots added. Also, we have SS-31 Cogman, SS-32 Scrapmetal, SS-33 Rampage, SS-24 Bonecrusher, SS-25 Optimus Prime or SS-30 Optimus Prime, SS-26 Jetfire and SS-27 Megatron that are still awaiting their Hasbro ID's.

That leaves... *counts* 3 unknown characters, 2 of which are Hightower and Dino... ok, only one then. :oops:

They've got DotM Megatron and RotF Jetfire at MCM London today. Only seen the one pic so hard to tell what they're like but look decent from what I can see. Though Megs looks a bit blocky especially in the legs so hoping it's just mistransformed or something. Jetfire has his axe! :)
Wondering if the lil thing with Megatron is Igor the head who is apparently the head of Long Haul.

screw it. I'm showing the pic. I was trying to find the original source (and in higher quality) and credit but I can't and I hope whoever it is can come claim their cred.
But here's the pic I found on insta for now.

Dunno if that pic is legit or not, but if it is, I called out that Meg's cloak would be fabric!
Now to see how they scale with the rest of the SS series and how they truly look. :-?

The pic is legit, it's been shared from where they are setting up for the con, do we'll get official hasbro pictures this weekend. Nice that the UK gets to be home for these reveals!

I was supposed to be at the con either today or tomorrow. I could have taken pics myself and got to see the new figures in person but nope I got asked to do a small role in a local play. I mean the play itself is a lot of fun and I've made new friends and having a good time but damn, i wanted to go to the con and see some folk and these new Studio figures. I am eagerly awaiting more photos of them that i am not there to take. :P

Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, Terrsolpix and Carnivius_Prime, we've got a special picture to share from Hasbro's MCM Convention booth in London, UK! The picture shows new Leader Class toys of Dark of the Moon Megatron and Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire!

Image

Of special note is that this time round, Megatron's cowl is actually a piece of fabric and not moulded plastic as before. Jetfire also includes his Axe from when he joins the battle in Egypt.

While we'll no doubt have better pictures from the actual event, feast your eyes on these reveals for now and let us know in the Energon Pub what your thoughts are. Stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

yeah if they're just setting up then maybe they'll fix up Megatron later and have him holding his rifle properly. :P

We can only hope :) also I wonder if they'll be putting a transformed jetfire down as there's a big space there that looks like it could be room for another toy...

Ah yeah I didn't even think of that. The original RotF Jetfire toy had a massive jet mode and curious to see how this one turns out (please let it hide more of the robot stuffs) and the robot form we see here looks oddly quite clean and accurate so where is the jet? Maybe he doesn't combine with Prime this time and this results in a more concentrated and accurate jetfire overall? Who knows? (well..the toy designers probably)
Also that Megatron truck mode looks pretty darn huge too (and man I love all that spiky stuff at the front). :O

Looking again at the picture, I see that Jetfire look quite nice. I'll buy him only if he properly combine with Optimus though.

As for that Megatron, I really hope he's misstransformed. Because he feel really like a "2007" leader with all that blockyness.

There go my pant...




pockets because the money is following out of them.


(Not sure about the cloak material, but overall this gives even more credence to the listing leaks.)

A new Jetfire is pretty exciting. I really like the original, despite its flaws. My desire for him is actually the opposite of what i want from the Constructicons. I really don’t want them to combine, because I don’t want the individual bots to suffer for it. I do, however, want Jetfire to combine with the new OP coming out. It could be done a lot better this time around. Plus none of these SS leaders have those electronic components that took up so much space, and really hampered the transformation. Without that gimmick, the end result is bound to be much better, without diminishing either individual figure.

It’s a little hard to see Jetfire properly, but hopefully we’ll get some clear, well lit shots of him later. That Megatron, though...

I’m glad to see that it’s DotM Megs, and that he has an actual cloth cape this time around, but I’m a little let down when it comes to that bot mode. I’ll hold off on forming any concrete opinion of him, until we get some clear photos, but those legs are ENORMOUS! I’m hoping he’s mistransformed, because his entire lower legs are just huge rectangles. I also have this thing against big folding panels on the outside of transformers forearms. That’s probably just my own pet peeve. Then there’s the blocky shoulders. I feel like I’m coming down hard in this figure, especially since we only have the one image so far.

I’m hoping like hell that I’m way off on that Megatron figure.

I hope Jetfire does combine with Optimus but only if they use parts forming. part of the problem they had with the old mold is that it was trying to use one thing. In the film Powered up prime was, effectively, optimus with parts of Jetfire grafted on if they have him go to bits and be attached like that, even if they don't incorporate all of Jetfire (it makes more sense like that I think, I doubt they needed the whole corpse for the upgrade) then I'll be happy.

Looking at the poses of the figures, I think Megs needs a nice pose to show what he's capable of, and given the figures we've had do far, I think the proper pictures will impress. I agree with you on the costructicons kanra

Damn, that Megatron's gonna be big. I hope he doesn't scale too awkwardly with Optimus (unless we're getting another, bigger Optimus later). He does look pretty awesome though.

And Jetfire looks incredible. I'll reserve judgement until I see the jet mode though.

Yeah. That's what I was gonna say when I got home just now. I'd rather the Jetfire figure have parts that come off to attach to Prime (whether it's the current mold or a new one) rather than trying to stick an entire leader class figure onto him. Studio Prime is one of my absolute fave figures for posing and articulation and I'd want a jetpowered Prime to still be very posable too which is really difficult to do when trying to mesh two figures together like the old RotF Leader combo.

It's amusing that some folk want combining constructions and other people want to forsake that in favour of higher quality individual bots and some folk want a combining Jetfire and some want a more focussed singular figure or at least not use the whole thing for Prime's jetpower kit. Hasbro are stuck here cos they really can't please everyone. :P

Also yeah I like that there's no electronics in Studio series. The old Jetfire figure had a very blocky body and this new one looks much more slender and one likely reason is not having to contain all the light and sound stuff inside. If I want a figure to 'talk' I'm fine just having sound samples on my phone and play those when playing about with my figures. :P

By the way was the camaro Bee mold always intended to have the Rebekah's Garage clip on bits for car mode? Cos it does have the rectangular holes on it I always wondered what they were for. Like Hasbro planned that kit from the start?

Yeah that's what I pondered on the last page when I posted the original pic. If so then it's a nice extra. :)
