Some points have become standard like the knees, hips, elbows, shoulders and head, but other points like the feet and waist have not.

No it is not. Often, even if the same point of articulations are present, the kibble get in the way. This is important to point out.

Oaky, finally saw the video. Too bad it's a low def blurry mess, but eh, better than nothing.
I'm a bit disappointed that this WW2 bee is a TOTAL SHELLFORMER. He's comparable to AoE Galvatron or even Cybertron Thunderblast. Absolutely NO vehicle get carried over to the robot mode. Plus that color is plain and boring. It should have more dirt and battle damage painted on. Especially for a 30$ deluxe.
I still want it though, for the Legacy. Plus I'm sure Toyhax will come up with an interesting Reprolabels upgrade set.

I can testify firsthand to that, I can’t even find a broken version of that figure so I can just get his engine, and it feels like a wast to pay about double the original price when I still have the rest of him AND ratchet’ EMP for him

All this Lockdown talk:
Alt modes scale pretty well, but bot modes put SS Lockdown at the kids' table:

I like it enough but i prefer the third party figure that turns into the old mercedes-benz instead.

You mean, the thing he actually turned into in the movie?

IM not feeling bad at saying I'd rather buy this expensive version than wasting my money on the SS one.

That's not true... The back of the car goes into slots in the legs to replicate how his wheels are in the middle of his feet in the film. Also in all fairness, that design wouldn't be able to turn into that car without a little shell forming.

This time it's #26 WW2 Bumblebee! Inspired by flashback footage in the fifth Transformers movie, The Last Knight. As well as having a hand held gun, he also comes with a mighty looking hammer,which forms the barrel of the tanks main weapon.

Exactly.
Yeah. Dunno how much this one will be. They also have Bulldog (the tank that guards Burton's mansion) and a tri-plane Starscream (with alternate Blitzwing) head too which is also very cool. I need to know the prices. At least since these are Studio scale they shouldn't be as costly as the third party Masterpiece scale toys. Right?

Ok, to round up a few points:
I consider TLK as the start of the SS line. A lot of things from that line carried over, so as far as I am concerned, the TLK guys, and even most of the AOE lot are good for this line.
TLK Hound is a really good figure to me. He is a great Hound and I have no bones with him being the definitive Hound for my collection.
That new Optimus looks great, and I am so glad I passed on the first one.
I did figure out why they did the deco and design choices they did for that first Prime though: The black in the middle of the chest is where he got run through and blasted, and the muted colors reflect his death!
while it's not perfect by any means, I really like the looks of World War Bee, and I'm hoping this means a World War Hot Rod is also in the works to go with his brother.
Finally, have some Dropkick. still holding out hopes for a muscle car version of him

Yeah, I got him last week for £13.19 from The Entertainer which is almost £20 cheaper than when he first came out and he's a lot of fun and already has made it onto my Studio shelf (along with TLK Prime, Berserker and Megatron. Wave 3 Bumblebee is usually there too but he's on a special mission at present)
I'm very tempted to buy the Dr Wu upgrade kit for Hound (and the Toyhax labels to give him more details and the red cross logos) to add more accurate feet, and extra weapons including his gatling gun thing that turns into the back part of his vehicle which is missing on the TLK figure.

I'm sure this is in the thread somewhere, but I'll ask here anyway. What's the difference between yellow Ratchet (04) and green Ratchet (16), besides the color (obviously)?

I guess I'll be buying the green one, since he'll be paired up with Lockdown in my SS collection.

Took these pictures after seeing a comment in another thread, but figured I'd share these here for funsies. Movie 1 bots vs. Studio bots, and my collective (somewhat) bot and con shelves with Studio Series mixed in for a size comparison. (I have a bunch more near these shelves, but decided it was easier to look at the one shelf for both)
