Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime has uploaded a new video review of Transformers Studio Series ROTF Deluxe Class Soundwave! This marks only the third time that a toy has attempted to portray this version of the character. The first two being the Revenge of the Fallen movie toyline Deluxe and the Legends Class version of the character. Unlike the original deluxe, this one omits the missile that represented Soundwave sending Ravage down to Earth in order to liberate a piece of the Allspark in the movie.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience.

What do you think about this version of the iconic character? Will you be getting him when he appears on store shelves? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I would think they were all designed at the same time, considering they're parts of the same figure. Not getting released at the same time is a decision of production, or maybe that the leader spots of the previous waves were occupied by figures that were deemed better sellers.

What about the early prototypes that showed a completely different design?

This

Not actual empirical evidence, but based on the difference in the elbow joints (hightowers has trouble holding up the arm, and scrappers is super powerful), I'd say there was already a bit of learning along the way, not saying my reasoning is perfect, but it makes sense to design and release the two load bearing parts last after all the other parts are finalized

We have news that Transformers Studio Series leader class Overload has been found at US and Canadian retail. In the US, G1 Liokaiser found it at a Walmart in Oklahoma. In Canada, the toy was found at Toysrus in Boisbriand, Quebec. The wavemate is Scavenger.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

The US listing sighitng was posted on the TFW forum while the Canadian finding was posted on Cybertron.ca.

Can confirm, found the only one in the whole city of El Paso, Texas yesterday and nabbed him to complete my Devastator. He’s definitely a big, chonky boi :shock:

I'd say that's the general idea. Many Siege and ER figures are already "mini MP". But I'd want brand new molds for the SS line. Maybe for Arcee, an improvement of her ER version.

I misread the news article as G1 Liokaiser found in walmart...to have my hopes raised and dashed due to lack of coffee. Cries. At least people can complete their Devys now.

Hoping Springers a bit more accurate in vehicle mode this time but also half expecting repacks of WFC stuff in studio series boxes

I do, of course we'll see for ourselves when they're revealed.

I wonder if they'll continue to do the diorama backdrops in the box for the 86 series.

As tempted as I would be to pick it up if I saw it in the wild i can wait for my Target pre-order when they were selling him at $30

I really need Target or Amazon to get this guy in already. I'm getting impatient now that he is showing up in stores.

I bet SS86 will come with backdrops, it's a staple, but i still wish SS86 didn't exist even as an idea

I found one at my Walmart a couple of days ago but did not pick it up as I have it preordered from Target.com for $29.99 (vs. the $49.99 it was going for at Walmart). Saving $20 is worth the wait for me.

looks like we got a first glimpse of the Devastator boxset.
I found the pic on Facebook, but I don't know the original source.

Looks like he won't have a different deco/accessories, so it's an easy pass for those who already got him, but surely a nice surprise for those who had issues finding some of the members like Scrapmetal.

EDIT: looks like he has some different deco. Long Haul looks like he has some dust effect painted on the truck bed.

Neat for those who want the whole shebang in one go, but thankfully not necessary for me to get, considering I just completed my Devastator like two days ago.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, MadProject has shared an interesting image with us all, that of our possible first look at the rumoured boxset containing all eight Transformers Studio Series Constructicons! The box lists the release as SS-69.

While MadProject found the image on Facebook, Instagram user, seton2345 also has been sharing it, with no mention where they got it from in the accompanying Instagram post.

While this image could turn out to be a clever fake, it does show how big a box would be needed for all the constructicons to fit in. One thing to note is that while the picture quality isn't great enough to make any judgement on the decos of the figures, Skipjack is part of the group as per the movie avd there appears to be weathering on Long Haul.

What do you think of this? Do you think this is legitimate or not? Where you expecting different colour schemes? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

(If this turns out to be real) I'm actually kind of glad the decos are more or less the same, And not too noticeably different from the individual releases. It would be a real kick in the head to people who bought the individual releases, Only to have a heavily improved deco'd one appear after the fact in a new box set (which has happened before). Anyway, It'll be nice for anyone wanting to complete Devastator all in one purchase.

Sorry, couldn't resist. But the box set does look pretty amazing.

Posted by MadProject on August 18th, 2020 @ 3:50pm CDT

the only thing is giving me questions, is that the box itself looks more square-ish, while the plastic bubble looks more rectangular.
I wonder if there will be some extra stuff of sort with him.
Like, as incentive for the purchase, a weapon pack for the Studio Series figures, like they did with Centurion Drone.

Devastator boxset is neat, I'm interested to see some better pictures of it since we can see the weathering on Long Haul.

I'm actually quite liking Topspin too, they really nailed the sculpted detail, the transformation has some neat stuff (like the wheel flip in the legs), and I like that it includes all the weapons. The arms are a little long, but I don't have much in terms of complaints other than that. Very excited to get Topspin and paint it up!

My Scavenger was also delivered back home today! It'll be a while before I have it, but it's nice to know that it was delivered.

I suspect that box is not the final version since the art/image is the old render we first saw it one of the toy fairs ages ago. Also, even if the decos are somewhat different or weathered, won't be upset since it can't be better then my custom paint job on each one so far ;)^

There's probably a second tray since I can't see anywhere on that one for Mixmaster and the accessories. Probably just the best they could steal procure.

I may have skipped the individual releases because I don't trust distribution.

But that ROTF Devy boxset... I want it. I want it a lot!

Yeah the boxart being that old art showcasing the prototype makes me not trust it at all.

I think the boxset exists yeah but I don't think this is it.

I never bothered getting the Constructicons individually for 2 reasons: I don't like how Devastator looked in the movie, and I didn't want to get them piece by piece. However, I will admit the individual figures, especially the leaders, look really good. So if this is really $250 or so, I'll seriously consider it. Also, the image seems to be compressed, I think the box will be rectangular, while the plastic bubble will be a square, with some stuff on the side. I was hoping for 2 deluxe or legends class Twins figures.

And once you have it, you can use your headcanon to rename it anything you want if you'd rather not think of this monstrosity as "Devastator".

It doesn't have to do with the name, really. I mean, he's a combiner made of construction vehicles. So naturally, Devastator, right? It's the final form I have a problem with. It's too animal-like. If it had been able to stand straight up, it would have been passable. Luckily I think the toy can stand on 2 legs, so it's actually better. And yes, I know the reasons why he was like that in the movie. While they are plausible, I didn't think they were necessary.

Side note: this "reveal" has inspired me to watch RoTF for the first time in about 6 years. I actually managed to suppress the memories of stupid childish sexual humor, so I have been face-palming a bit.

Oof, good luck. It's that very kind of "humor" that's kept me from watching it again.

Though, here's a bit of irony. I always felt that if the movie had just left out all of that grossness then it would have been fine. But then when I first read the movie's comic book adaptation, I found that that version told the same general story as the movie and did excise all of the film's nastiness... but what all was left was just boring. The comic took all of the bad stuff out of the movie, left in all of the good stuff, and yet somehow, some way, the good stuff became dull. :BANG_HEAD:

I had created a separate thread about Vudu's new "family friendly" feature where it will edit out language and scenes it deems not to be "family friendly", I actually watched RotF with this filter on. It was a bit jarring, and the scene with Alice "aggressively showing affection" for Sam caused the app to crash, but it did make the movie better somehow :lol:

.

Basically if you could cobble together all of Optimus Prime's battle scenes from that film, that's all I need to remember form it. ;)^

I still need a drill to the forehead to forget Megatron being subserviant to the Fallen & listening to Starscream.

Seemed to be a bit of an unwarranted uproar that Bay sexualised Megan Fox but no complaints about a child living robot being turned into hump machine. I think that put me off getting a Wheelie at the time (surely it was lost marketing and money if they had made him kid friendly and sold RC toys of him in the BB8 bucketloads but I guess it would take five script writers with a single brain cell to pull it off).

A new SS wheelie version might not beat the orig toy if the new SS satellite soundwave is anything to go by.

There won't be a ss wheelie (non 86 version anyway), scale is the big factor, the character is just too small to get a transforming toy.

Technically SS Wheelie already exists, but it was a non-transforming minifig with Shockwave, so that's still half-right, he is too small to transform.

Posted by o.supreme on August 19th, 2020 @ 1:25pm CDT

Didn't micro figures of Wheelie & Brains come with SS Shockwave? Also I'd agree since the Arcee 3 pack were basically 3 legion class figures, I don't think we will be able to get anything smaller transformable. Laserbeak and Ravage I guess could arguably be about that size, but ravage never transformed in RotF. Also I guess the only Frenzy we may see is a tiny non transforming figure as well.

Re: New English Video Review of Transformers Studio Series ROTF Deluxe Class Soundwave (2076698)
Posted by ZeroWolf on August 19th, 2020 @ 1:32pm CDT

I meant to say a stand alone transformable wheelie, and I started questioning myself if Shockwave came with both Wheelie and Brains or just Brains for some reason

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, LinaNui, has let us know that fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime has done a brand new video review of the forthcoming Transformers Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Cliffjumper! This Deluxe Class figure is a heavy retool of the previously released Jeep Bumblebee mold, taken from the beginning of the movie where he fights Blitzwing. Cliffjumper on the other hand was seen memorably being interrogated by movie antagonists Shatter and Dropkick.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience.

What do you think of this figure? Will you be picking him up? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Movie Devs, without a doubt. The CW one has his pieces fold over only once or twice, the SS one has a couple more for his arms and legs, but the torso has to be fileted or butterflied from Scavenger and Overload. :shock:

From what I've seen, I think SS Devy won't be too hard. The 2 legs slide on a slide; Overload and Scavenger connect via a slide, Mixmaster is 4 tabs on top' the arms are sort of CW standard but smushed down and heavier; and Hightower/Scrapmetal are an inserting clip. So not quite the CW level of 5 or 6 things tabbing together to hold, or using a chest piece that needs to tab in 3 areas to secure the torso level.
