New pictures and eBay listings for Studio Series Dropkick and KSI Sentry

Posted by ZeroWolf Aug 18, 2018 at 2:31pm CDT 195,686 views
Following their reveal at SDCC we've got some brand new pictures, and eBay listings of Studio Series Dropkick and KSI Sentry!

Dropkick is from the forthcoming Bumblebee movie and is one of two main Decepticons in the film, and while in it he's a triple changer, going from a helicopter to a muscle car, here he's just a helicopter.

KSI Sentry is supposed to represent a generic KSI made transformer featured in the Age of Extinction. While there is no direct match in the movie, this is a redeco of Stinger, the red Bumblebee-like bot from the same film.

The eBay user who has listed both of these seems to have a limited quantity available but they should be hitting retail soon enough.

Yeah, I like Sentry even if just mostly a red Stinger (which i like anyways). Dropkick looks a bit boring to me. A lil too much a bunch of rectangles in robot mode. He's one I think I'd need to see in store to know if I want to buy.

They have VW Bee too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/401579208595?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 11 sold, 1 left

I'll skip Sentry until he's at discount. Dropkick can wait because I want to focus on Jazz, Lockdown, and Ironhide.

ordered me a VW Bumblebee from this seller for £33.99. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153137510610?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1
Yeeeah about £10 more than the shop price will be but I didn't get any Transformers for my birthday last Sunday and still waiting for my Ironhide pre-order from Kapow (whenever that officially comes out) so screw it. There ain't a whole lot other toys (or anything at all) catching my interest at moment anyways. I paid £30 for (sorta) early Lockdown and Jazz and was very happy with those. The others in this wave I'll wait til they in stores or discounted or whatevers.

And like all Studio Series, it's licensed. Helicopter Mode Dropkick is a Bell AH-1 SuperCobra.

Just thought I’d point out; The KSI sentry is modeled after the Chevrolet Trax KSI robots, which also happen to look like stinger. Most of the Trax’s shown (such as the ones charging hound) were red, but there were ones of all colours (including blue) in the movie, so Hasbro just didn’t want a another red stinger with just a headswap.

Just curious, how do we know that? Is it the headsculpt? And how do we know their name?

Incorrect, I saw the latter half of the movie again on tv a bit ago and all the Traxes were red, black, silver, and white, not a single blue Trax to be found. I commented on it already in this thread.

Dropkick looks great though, and I need him if for no other reason than his Jolly Roger decals.

He looks great to me. I may get him to stand next to my Thundercracker... I need to get Blackout too

Yes, it's the head sculpt, though that's the only thing the two have in common.

But the name is unofficial, fans just attached the name to the character because of his/its alt mode and an interview that referred to the KSI Sentries as "Traxes" (which is the model of the car).

I don't know if its news worthy or not, but SS Lockdown is now on HTS. Its the first time I've seen it there.

My mistake, I could have sworn that there was at least one blue one in the scene with numerous trax’s in vehicle mode “ready for KSI to ship.” That blue looks like the blue they use on the real trac so meh :roll:

But yeah, IMO their bodies are preeeeeeety close to stinger’s body type so I see why Hasbro did it, but I would have loved a little Chevy trax to go with my Aveo Swerve. Oh well, more Paginis!

The Twins. 'Nuff said. *hides*


Studio Series being "nothing but the cast" pretty much went out the window with Thundercracker. "Cast and extras, the latter in any color" would be more apt.

Yeah but they’re a preproduction Trax and Spark :lol: plus I was so put off by their robot designs I kinda ignored them when they were on the pegs. (Didn’t have a lot of cash for toys when ROTF was around either)

As a car guy I really wish for an alternators revivals with modern engineering. Human Alliance was great.

You forgot the Beat ;) And me thinks they're following a "one robot form per model" to cut re-engineering costs. Can anyone put a Stinger in a Trax body effectively?

I loved Alternators and Binaltech. Got even me into cars a little bit.
