In Hand Images of Transformers Studio Series 69 Revenge of the Fallen Devastator Boxset

Time to sell my organs

Now to know where the Devy kit will be available and for how much.

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Sweet! What do you think now that you have them combined?

I'll be honest, I preffer them not combined. The combined mode in bipedal mode is solid though, but I can't really play around with it much, unlike other combiners which pose much better (like his CW Counterpart). Still one heck of a feat.

Started messing around with my Blitzwing this afternoon, no photos yet, but he is a really fun robot. The jet mode is a little wonky and I still await my F4 Phantom jet mode, but the robot mode is really solid, and so expressive. I love the accessories and the way they work, and the wings posability is nice. They need exceptionally well with him, glad we finally got a Bee movie figure they did great on the first time.

Also got a mace for Grimlock today, it makes him look even more imposing

That's a disappointingly little amount of new paint. I was hoping either no changes, or super significant ones that some of them desperately need. That, and maybe some missile launchers for the shoulders.

According to TF Source, it's supposed to come with an array of accessories and weapons for $499.
I paid for all new Constructicons $311 all together at Target and Walmart just last week.
Many of the figures are on sale now. Overload is for $29.99 as well as Skipjack, for instance, that is more movie accurate with it's yellow as the Devastator's left foot.
In my opinion, the extra paint job (not really good) is not worth an additional $188.
I guess we'll have to wait for the stores like Target to see the friendlier prices. They are usually lower than online stores.

I have always been bothered with Studio series Blitzwing not having a third mode as Triple changers should, so I went ahead and came up with....

Studio series Blitzwing Cybertronian machine gun emplacement!

Movie Blitzwing wasn't a triple changer so why would his toy be one?

True, the only triple changers in Bumblebee was Dropkick and Shatter, though some people believe that names should have characteristics built into then like that every Blitzwing should be a triple changer etc

Blitzwing did also have a toy with a tank mode, and he was a triple changer in the Bumblebee movie comics.

The Devastator boxed set is an easy pass for me, but I'm glad it'll be available for those who missed out on the early ones.

I've gotta hand it to ya, Primal, when you screw up-... wait wrong timeline
Only Starscream could fail to dispose of a helples-...dammit not again
"Need help?"
Yes.
"Did you think you could hi-"
YES, DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE?!?!

When I saw Blitzwing popping up at Amazon, I ordered him right away.

Now, fingers crossed so that ToyHax create a Reprolabels set to turn him into "G1" Starscream.

I finally saw Blitzwing on the shelf at Wal-Mart, and I was kinda underwhelmed. It's not a bad figure, but doesn't look as good in-hand as it did in photos for some reason. To me, the legs and feet don't look good. The upper body is still nice, as is the jet mode. And yeah, he would make a great Starscream, who I thought he was (and should have been) when I saw the trailer for the movie.

You wanted Starscream to die like a punk? (Not that Screamers actual death was any better but you know, at least he lasted three films )

No, had it been Starscream, he wouldn't have died, just got beat. Then flew away when the humans showed up. And they died practically the same way.

I've been trying to fill in some gaps from SS that I missed, due to at the time not really wanting them, and so far I've managed to get my hands on DOTM Megatron and I'm quite impressed with it. Not a perfect figure, but definitely looks the part! I'm trying to get my hands on a Jetwing Prime but I cannot find a pre-owned one anywhere!

In the mail today I also got SS Leadfoot, haven't transformed him yet but he looks incredible and I'm so glad to finally have the wreckers completed (prior to this I only had them in legion form!)

Also bought ROTF Soundwave, and while I am not really impressed with the figure, I knew I wouldn't be I just wanted him to fill the gap in the ROTF part of my display, which he does very well IMO.

Still undecided on ROTF Starscream and DOTM Ratchet, as I never really cared for the variations. Are they worth getting repeats of?

I did not get the DotM Ratchet, only the original because I wanted the saw.

I did the opposite on screams, passed on the first so I could get the 2nd with the saw. the 2nd Tattooed up Screamer is really nice though, I'd recommend getting that one

IMO you can pass on RoTF Starscream, but if you got Lockdown you should get DoTM Ratchet.

Checking between bank account and order history, Pulse has started billing for the Blitzwing/Skipjack voyager wave and the ROTF Soundwave/Cliffjumper/Topspin deluxe wave, but not yet shipped or sent notification. My orders page also doesn't show the deluxes as being paid, only authorized, even though my account has been billed. (The voyagers are showing as paid.)

Do we know if there's a panel at the New York Comic Con? I want some SS reveals!!

The schedule is a bit of a mess to navigate in trying to find a Hasbro panel but according to Entertainment Earth, they specifically say to keep an eye out for Transformers items being added.

Of course that could be place holder text.

Best bet is to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised if anything is revealed

Sorry to interrupt the real studio series conversation...

Just watched a review for SS86 Scourge... I'm even more excited now to get this figure.
This will be THE Scourge of my collection.
The only real negative I can see is in the alt mode; the feet sticking out the back, the underside, and the 5mm port on the side... But in the grand scheme, none of those really weigh-in for me.
Oh, two blast effect pieces would've been nice, but the one I'll use for the weapon if at all...
So really I'll take that as a tiny bonus.

The positives greatly out-number anything bad--
First, getting a great view of the head sculpt; this alone helps make this figure. Where as I can handle compromises in other areas (limbs, torso, etc.), if the face and head are on point, it elevates everything and makes it easier for me to look past nit-picks.
The face is so well done. Then add in the rest of the head, and it's just all beautiful.

To sum up the rest of the mold:
While the shoulders may be a bit wide, overall, this mold is so well done...
What I really appreciate about this is the design aesthetic that combines curved/cylindrical parts of the shoulders, arms, legs and even torso,
being balanced with molded details that are straight and angular.
Another important factor for me is the figure's bot mode proportions, and I think those are really spot-on.
While I don't know if he was truly taller than Hot Rod and Kup, I appreciate that he's a bit larger rather than smaller. I'm anxious to see him next to Cyclonus and Glavatron.
I'll admit I don't know if the coloring is completely accurate, but it's gotta be close. And overall, nothing stands out to me as one of those "Why did they do this?" type of design decisions.
And yeah, the painted fingers/claws... Come on, that's a really nice touch that could've been easily skipped.
In terms of articulation, there is more than enough.
The more I've recently thought about it, the more I don't need crazy-articulation... Of course it's appreciated, but I don't ever need (or want) a figure's head, arms or legs to be pointed completely backwards (facing the wrong way). I don't need a figure to be able to do the splits 100%... A wide stance is plenty.
If people need their figures to be able to do "funny" yoga-type poses, that's fine, but imo that doesn't need to be an expectation.

This to me is truly a mini Masterpiece figure.
I'd pay $50 for this. But realistically at $30-$32... This is an incredible looking figure.
I really may end up with 2-3 of these.
Turns out I'm more excited for Scourge than Cyclonus.

I'm feeling pretty good that Galvatron may actually deliver this time!

Why? Ratchet had a different deco in AOE.

Ugh, I meant to say AoE Ratchet. That's the SS16 figure, right?

Isn't Ratchet in AOE literally just the DOTM deco? (At the very least the trucks are the same)

(AOE)


(DOTM)

Rodimus Prime wrote:Ugh, I meant to say AoE Ratchet. That's the SS16 figure, right?

SS16 is labeled as being from Dark of the Moon (which is where the deco originates from that they simply used for AOE)

But since it's the same design in both movies it's pretty much the same thing.

Since ROTF Lockdown was brought up, why hasn't ROTF Ratchet been mentioned? It was that Ratchet who had the compatible weapon with Lockdown.

Ah sorry I thought we were talking about AOE Lockdown since it's Studio Series thread.

Now I wonder if Ratchet's busssaw can be used by SS Lockdown.

Well the saw has a 5mm post and lockdown has 5mm holes on his arms, so yes it would work.

Ah sweet, I was mostly thinking about this concept art for AOE back when Lockdown was going to take Ratchet's saw.

Lockdown was in RoTF?

Rodimus Prime wrote:Lockdown was in RoTF?

In the toyline he was.

Rodimus Prime wrote:Lockdown was in RoTF?

Toy, not character.

I think we just witnessed everyone get utterly confused.

I was confused and I added to it by misremembering Rstchet having a white deco in AOE

No I was the only one confused. Between this and my mixing up Ratchets, I think I'll check out of this discussion to avoid further damage.

Looks like Transformers gets another turn for Hasbro Pulse Fan First Friday, and we FINALLY get some new Studio Series reveals.

I'm assuming the SS86, but am hopeful of some of the others as well.

I bet we can expect the Devastator giftset to be announced.

Sabrblade wrote:I bet we can expect the Devastator giftset to be announced.

As a minimum since we are already up to his SS number on releases that are currently out.

Is this the closest we have ever been to officially not knowing the next wave of a toyline? With the current wave already in stores?

My Devastator got a little more colorful tonight

So, I just had my skipjack and blitzwing cancelled by target, apparently, they had enough stock to send to their fuckiing stores months ago, but they couldn't be bothered to fucking fulfill a pre-order. Apparently I didn't approve the delay, but I was never told that I needed to, so, what the hell

Found on Facebook!
First view of Studio Series Grimlock, Jazz and Blurr from the '86 movie!

They look good but I really hope they don't prioritise the 86 movie over Bayverse, at least finish Bayverse first. Though to me, it looks like all the figures shown are number 86, so maybe these are the only ones, possibly just ones they couldn't fit in Earthrise/Kingdom?

I just had my Overload delayed again as well, pushed back to the 28th. Target and their preorder system really sucks.

On Facebook, but I don't know the original source

Can't see tihs.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, MadProject, dropped a bombshell of an image in our forums, that of a selection of Studio Series 86 figures and their boxes! The image seems to have been leaked via Facebook account, DaimChoc Reports.



The image shows Voyager Class Scourge, Voyager Class Hot Rod, Deluxe Class Blurr, Deluxe Class Jazz, Leader Class Grimlock and Wheelie and lastly, Deluxe Class Kup. This reveals as well that the Studio Series 86 figures are not numbered like the other Studio Series figures. We also get a good look at the accessories the figures come with and it looks as though Grimlock is only coming with his gun (which is accurate to the movie). It is unknown at this point if the included wheelie transforms or not.

It is highly likely that Hasbro will be officially revealing them Friday, giving us an even better and more detailed look at them.

What do you think of these? Are you adding them to your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Looking forward the official pictures.
