Brand Unification is at an all time high, not only are Hasbro and Takara releasing the exact same figures for the Studio Series line but they are revealing them on the very same day. You can catch up on the Hasbro side of things for Transformers Studio Series with the official reveals, some shots from on the Toy Fair floor, and details on it from Hasbro's Panel Presentation about the upcoming line from their panel earlier in the day on Saturday February 17th, 2018.

And now, at the other end of the world, Japan is seeing these same figures as well. Fellow Seibertronian Primalxconvoy attended Wonderfest 2018 and snapped images of Grimlock and Optimus prime who we can see in their packaging as well. There was even a whole dioroma made especially to showcase this new leader Grimlock in his mighty scale.

Crowbar, Stinger, Bumblebee and Blackout were also there.

My lord these look amazing. Jazz and Lockdown look gorgeous. Megatron and Starscream look fantastic. Blackout looks great. And that Grimlock is just an absolute monster.

I’m starting to regret not buying more TLK figures...

Grimlock is AMAZING. He's huge and I recommend him to everyone.

Be very surprised if you see me post about getting any of these figures.

I've already scaled down my movie collection because frankly, they got crappier and crappier. For the first few years I was able to ignore how ugly they were, but time took it's toll and now looking at these ... meh.

OK that Grimlock looks frickin' incredible. In both modes. Trying to figure out his shoulders though... is there two dino heads? :O

I'm saving up for these. May pass on Prime cos I have my AoE Evasion and TLK knight versions already taking up two places for him. But yeah I'm buying so many of those other ones. Yay for a Transformers line I wanna buy.

EDIT: just went back a page and saw the ones i hadnt seen. Lockdown, Megatron and such all look great. Jazz though is prob my fave deluxe there. Awesome.

Starscream. Someone mentioned it's just the deluxe scaled up with a few improvements. I love the Deluxe other than the fact it's small. I nearly bought a scaled up KO but couldn't find it available to buy anymore. This mold suits me just fine then. Though I would prefer it in RotF tattoo deco.

I'm not really a film fan, but that Grimlock, even in green, is fantastic. Obviously, the transformation could be awful and it could be made from razorblades and asbestos, but the look of the thing... Oh MYYYYY!

Anyone able to help a big fan out?

I live in the U.K. but really want to buy Stinger and Bee. Anyone able to help me purchase and get these figures shipped to me? (sadly delivery on the site is restricted to the U.S. and Canada) pleaseeeee

Only thing I really want from this line is the 70’s Bumblebee.

Not really a fan of movie Grimlock, as good as this version looks, and Prime is just a Mess, with all the movie Primes we saw last year, this is just sad.

I’ll stick with my Movie the Best MB-11

Is Ratchet bigger than previous Deluxe Ratchets? He appears a fair bit taller than 77 Bee and Jazz.

TLK Bee and red redeco of DotM Ratchet. Same height

Screencap from PrimeVsPrime's video of recent pics.

Can see the new lower legs add a bit extra height. Which suits me fine as I like Prime and Megatron to be Voyager size and Bee/Jazz Deluxe and Ratchet and Ironhide to be in the middle.

But he had it in one of the earlier preview pics.

Also I think I actually like that Optimus Prime mold but the colour layout isn't doing it favours..

Blackout looks great.

He did? I thought I was just making a jab at how Studio Series Starscream is an upscaled DotM design...

Oh daaaaaaaamn Blackout looks incredible. Hands are a bit of a bummer but he still looks properly awesome.

Yeah I looove that deluxe figure except for the small size and it spent a lot of time on my desk so a more detailed larger version is like made for me.

Just looking at some of the noticable improvements particularly the sides of the torso.

I love it.

But yeah there should be a large buzzsaw that he was holding back in the earlier blurrier pics. I can't find it.

edit:

You can see the saw on his left arm here.
