Fellow Seibertronians! Yours truly has discovered some exciting news, this time being about the new Transformers Studio Series SS-45 Age Of Extinction Helicopter Mode Autobot Drift (phew!). Thanks to the TFND Facebook page, we now have in hand images of this new figure to show you. Despite being a retool of the very lackluster (and still shelfwarming) Helicopter Dropkick, this figure manages to pull off an accurate representation of Drift as he appeared in Age Of Extinction. These photos show off the detail of the robot mode, helicopter mode, packaging, and some comparisons with the previous Studio Series Drift, as well as Copter Drift's retool, Dropkick.

This Drift looks pretty good in my opinion.

Think I might actually get him for my Siege collection since he looks "Cybertronian" enough.

I suppose he could work there.

Fellow Seibertronians! Hot off the heels of the in hand images of Helicopter Drift, we now have a video review of the new Transformers Studio Series SS-46 Car Mode Dropkick! Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TFanPage101, we present to you the first video review of this new figure from YouTube Reviewer Kevin Liu. In the video, Kevin shows off the transformation, detail, and articulation of the snazzy blue 'Con.


This figure, along with Helicopter Drift and Constructicon Hightower, are slated to release in late August.

Will you be trusting this bot enough to take him to your home leader, and finally let him in? Or has he popped one too many indigenous lifeforms for you to handle? Let us know in the discussion below.

You might have sold me on that Drift w/ dinos set. I actually wish they'd re issue the DOTM (?) blue Bugatti again. I wonder how he'd scale. I know he transformed completely backwards from the "current" Mercedes Drift.

Both Shatter and Dropkick really had some interesting things going on with their conversions. Almost reminiscent of DOTM levels of fiddly. I do wish Hasbro would stop with the unpainted snap-on wheels though.. they just look so cheap... I also understand there's not a whole lot of room to hide the arms on either figure but they're just kind of hanging out down there.

I really don't like it with Siege Shockwave cos that's a completely made up add on that's also rather goofy at times (like when it's a backpack of arms and legs), but at least with DotM Optimus it's an already establshed and much requested add on in all it's configurations.

I rest now. Night. :)


Honestly you read my mind bc I was thinking of Seige Shockwave when I wrote this.

Not really no. I have the 3 FOC Seekers, but that is as close as I am to having several seekers. I plan to collect the seekers from Siege minus Starscream and Thundercracker most likely.

So, is Shatter worth it? I have a chance at a discount and I want to know if the mold is worth any amount of money. I've heard very negative things about it and barely anything good. Just looking for a second opinion before going in.

Unless you’re willing to only keep her on display and never play with her, or just keep her in her car mode, I wouldn’t pick her up.

Once in a while, Universal has exclusive Transformers toys, usually movie related (but not always). Well, with the Studio Series line, it seems Universal has some new molds to choose their exclusives from. They will be getting a grey redeco of Transformers Dark of the Moon leader Megatron (aka Hobo-tron to some). We have the official renders below. From them, we see that he does not come with the tarp or his little buddy.

The deco is most probably inspired by Universal Studio's Megatron who taunts kids at the park, and who is rather popular on youtube (you can see an example below).

It is unknown at this time how this toy will be available outside of Universal, though the previous Snarl exclusive was found practically nowhere else. So, are you excited? Let us know!

So he's like the costumed photo-op character that taunts park guests (if you haven't seen him in person or watched him on Youtube, he's hilarious).

Yep, he has a slightly tweaked version of the ROTF murder arm (seemingly without the larger blade)

I prefer Fusion Lobster Claw Cannon :-P (The official name, "Death-Lock Pincer, is awesome as well)

I remember reading on TFWiki that Megatron's cannon was missing the blade part because of when it broke during ROTF.

TFWiki wrote:Megatron is seen with a Death-lock pincer in Transformers: The Ride – 3D, though with his Dark of the Moon appearance. Although possibly unintentional, the Fusion cannon Megatron uses in the Dark of the Moon video game seems to represent his death lock pincher without the blade. Given that Optimus broke the blade, it may have been a reference to the previous movie.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the connections between the two arms are different. Just wait for 3P to make one, if HasTak doesn't make one themselves.

I think this actually looks super awesome. I think I will actually pass, though, unless it is in the Studio Series numbering system.

It's just too inaccessible an exclusive to justify the difficulty and price otherwise.

I’ve actually been looking into swapping the arms, but DOTM Megatron’s arm (at least the forearm) is pinned into place, so it’d be really tough to remove it.

I was confused by this when I first saw the pic earlier but yeah it's totally got to be the guy in Megatron costume who taunts all the guests at Universal Studios. I watch videos of him from time to time on youtube and he's fun. I want to see him actually selling this figure to the guests. I doubt I'd be able to get this one myself and that's ok but yeah it does make sense why this is a thing. :)

OK, now I know what figure I will get the next time I go back to Universal. I got Evac when I was there the first time and I love the ride!

seriously, that ride was so much fun. Yes Megatron was in his DotM Body with his RotF murder claw blaster arm, and yes it was great. I rode it twice.

ah fond memories.

But yes, I want that Megatron. I will get him when I go back. And that Megatron that taunts people was the best, I only got to see him for a brief minute, but he is hysterical!!

Thanks a heads up from TFanPage101 we've learned Kevin Liu on YouTube has two fresh reviews, for you to view, before you're...through?

This was not supposed to turn into a Dr. Seuss bit but, well, here we are.

At first you will find Hightower quite dour you see he's sour because instead of a back he has a tower. Teeny little arms so creepy it's true, he combines with his bros into a Devastator stew.

And then here comes Drift flying in from aloft in a retool of Dropkick which most fans found soft. All dressed up in royal blue with swords slashing it's uniformity of color schemes that keeps this samurai from clashing...well, in regards to his wardrobe anyways.

Enough of the rhyming! On with the show! Enjoy the views and share your thoughts with the Seibertron crew in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Maybe if you remove the helicopter parts of Drift, he can make a nice Robot Mode Drift to go as a display piece. I might do that at some point.

Posted by Bucky on July 27th, 2019 @ 11:40am CDT
I’d say that Drift is a “buy” for me. He’s far from perfect, but he’s undeniably a big improvement over helicopter Dropkick. Both in bot mode, and in alt mode. I’m sure that beefing him up, thereby having him less spindly, really helped a lot. Gives designers more to work with. Im still curious to see what other people have to say about him, once they get him in hand.

Hightower is 100% a must have. Not just because Devastator, but also because his design is just so bizarre and unique. Plus I’m a sucker for construction vehicles.

I’m sure we will get one, the universal repaint probably won’t even be sold under the studio series line, just as a park exclusive like Evac and the others.

As per Hightower’s instructions, We’ll be getting leader class Scavenger in early 2020, while Overload comes later in the year, so there will probably be another leader sold alongside Scavenger.
