New Images of Studio Series 86 Constructicons Show Size Comparisons with AOTP Aerialbots

These guys really are looking superb, I honestly never thought I'd own them again since the 80's due to all other version not looking all that great to me. I get hyped for them every time I see a new image!

I'm just dreading their eta as everything on preorder has the same ship date meaning all billed at the same time. lol
I can't remember the last time I bought several bots that close together.

The robot head is supposed to belong to Optimus Primal, meaning you're supposed to switch the two heads around since Optimus's wasn't as screen-accurate as it could have been, so they made this head to give him a screen-accurate one while Apelinq gets the less accurate one that came with Optimus.

With both Optimus and Jetfire complete, I got the DNA Design upgrade kit painted up as well to finish Jetpower Optimus Prime!

Thank you! The DNA kit really elevates the set, I feel like I finally have that cancelled Unite for the Universe Jetpower Prime I saw on TFWiki all those years ago xD

The algorithm gods led me to a random video review of the SS leader AoE Optimus.



Of course, the reviewer does not show the transformation. Why would he?

Found a spare ROTF Soundwave recently and decided to try painting it in ROTF video game colors! The weapon is a mashup of the one he has in game with his DOTM blasters:

Yeah! At one point I had some red details on it that kinda evoked that Gathering at the Nemesis one, but I ended up removing them since they weren't game accurate.

Does anyone have any word on when the new SS TTM Megatron is going to be revealed? If his release could be in July, shouldn't we be getting something soon, as in any day now?

Probably a Transformers Tuesday stream in April to stay ahead of the leaks.

I get it, he’s a much lesser character, but we’ve known about Vortex & others that are 3rd & 4th quarter since what, the beginning of the year?

Vortex, Alchemist Prime, and Crasher from AotP Wave 2 + Onyx Prime from Wave 3 were revealed less than 3 weeks ago, and Onyx isn't even up for preorder yet. Considering they usually alternate between the lines, the Studio Series wave containing Megatron will presumably be the next big reveal.

Am I forgetting an update? Isn't Onyx wave 2 and there's no leaders for wave 3?
