New In-Hand Images - Transformers Studio Series NEST Bumblebee

They fixed the typo on his name.

I thought it was Sector 7 that appeared on all the Cybertron redecos...didn't NEST come after that?

The only thing that Nest Bumblebee does is make me want a new Hound!

The actual figure is more gunmetal than flat gray, nice. Glad I ordered him, he looks really good close up.

It's funny that we're getting a new-deco figure themed around NEST when that organization hasn't been around for over ten years (outside of TF: The Ride, the only thing still regularly promoting NEST as an Autobot ally), and when the last two linear movies (e.g. - AOE and TLK) were instead pushing government organizations that wanted the Autobots dead and gone (Cemetery Wind and the Transformers Reaction Force).

Even when counting the Bumblebee movie, that one went back to Sector Seven, who (because of the time period and the movie's very loose attempt to still somewhat foreshadow the first movie) needed to still view the Autobots with suspicion and distrust.

When looking at the bigger picture of all six movies, NEST is probably the best government organization to come out of the films, yet it died with DOTM (save for, again, TF: The Ride) and was replaced with anti-Autobot groups.

Greetings Seibertronians!

Transformers Studio Series Core Class Shockwave (from the Bumblebee movie) has been on store shelves for a little while now. Maybe you've seen him and been undecided on picking it up, well if that's the case, these video reviews from some fellow Seibertronians!

First up is Ham-Man:



Next, we have Soundwave8084, who chimes in with his review of the tiny tactician.



Lastly, we have Chuckdawg1999, who offers his thoughts in writing and on video:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:The introduction of the Core Class to the Studio Series opens up the line to smaller-scale characters from the live-action movies like Wheelie and Brains. Of course, the first figure released is Shockwave. Don't forget, Core Class is also meant to be a cheaper price point to get named characters into people's hands. Shockwave is a cool figure, the transformation is fairly easy but as is the case when dealing with ball joints, the tightness of the joints can be a factor in how enjoyable the transformation is. Overall, Shockwave is a good figure and while I believe we will see a larger version at some point, this Core Class version can hold you over for the time being.

Do you have Shockwave? Has any of these reviews swayed you towards picking him up?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

That Perceptor is purty. I'm undecided on Ratchet, leaning towards purchase.

I'm hopeful we'll see Ratchet, Brawn, and Wheeljack soon. I am excited to get those 3, specifically Brawn.

Chefatron put up reviews for Arcee and Ironhide

Is it just me or does anyone else find it disturbing that Ironhide looks like he's wearing hot pants and a man-kini over them?

Arcee looks great.
