Hasbro Reveals SS 86 Galvatron, Hatchet and More at NYCC 2024

Hatchet is the clear win of here, but they are all kind of great. Galvatron and Doublepunch are ones I'm going to have to debate about getting because I really like both of those molds, but I don't know if I really want them again.

With the mouth right? The rest seems the same though

I like that Galvatron is more color accurate, but really wish they would've made the feet more accurate instead of those pointed tows

Is there a possibility they'll ever re-release the previous SS Dreads, or would they make a 3 pack with Hatchet?

They really should, '18-'19 was a long time ago. Would be a good opportunity for a 2-pack at Target or somewhere.

They were once everywhere and often on sale. They could be found for cheap at my local geek store.

I skipped them all and now, it is too late.

Exactly right! I managed to grab TLK Berserker just in time to turn one into Crankcase, but it'd be great to get a real Crankcase in the line! Might be a good opportunity to include Crankcase and Crowbar's blasters too.

Hatchet just went up for preorder, got one! Very excited to finally have another Bayverse deluxe on the way in the main line after (by the time it releases) more than 2 years!

Surprisingly enough, I have no interest in any of these reveals.

Galvatron is definitely a lazy release. Hope they don't do the same thing for Megatron now, and re-issue the same Siege mold yet again but with minimal deco changes.

That is now, a definite possibility.

Man, I hope they eventually do a real Crankcase too... I still don't understand how that mix-up happened. The dreads had really cool blasters too, I think they were the blasters used by the Decepticon protoforms in general?

Not really, Galvatron is getting rereleased as is because he's plenty accurate already. But Earthrise Megatron is nowhere near screen accurate enough in robot mode to fit with Studio Series, so he'll get a new toy for sure.

The first wave of 2025's Studio Series was revealed last week-end and below we have official images of those reveals along with the panel itself (starts at 22 minute mark). But first, because that's always the most pressing, you'll find the preorder links.

I will be getting Galvatron now that his color is correct. I find Skywarp to be underwhelming because there's no break up of the purple on his legs with another color and no break up of color on his solid black arms. I just looked at an in game pic and the front part of the leg has black but the arms are solid black. But even the previous version of this figure had gray added to the legs and forearms to break things up a little
