Thanks to posts on Instagram, we have images of the newly revealed toys on display at Fan Expo Canada. We can get a better look at Shockwave, Mixmaster, the firs movie Megatron and others. We get a really good look at the alt mode of the later, which looks well painted. Though these are samples so the final product may not have that paint (which has happened before). The chest for Megatron seems identical to the ROTF version. These can all be preordered right now at the online collectables store of your choice.

Check the images below and tell us what you think!

Not to sound ungrateful. All of these look amazing. I would just consider Frenzy way more important than Igor or Scorponok. Same for Scalpel for that matter.

Wait till a exclusive barricade and bumblebee two pack with frenzy.

Did Sideways ever turn into a robot in the film?

That new Megatron is insane! Somehow I’m more impressed with him than the MPM. I can pretty much see where all the parts go but that’s still some airplane magic happening over there. Never been into collecting movie figures but this might be my first. I just wish there was an SS 07 Optimus with better paint than we’ve gotten so far

I'm glad they both seem like solid figures, but it's one of my biggest pet peeves, so I'm gonna be skipping '07 megs, too bad too, he looks great

Very briefly, as he crashed and rolled through a house.

Yes, but only for a couple seconds when he crashes through a building.

I don’t know, I think the jet mode nose might fold up to help fill out that space based on what we’re looking at. No way of telling unless we see some different angles, though.

That's driving me crazy. I don't get why they couldn't remold that piece too. I mean, I'd rather have more screen accurate than the accesory.

I don't really care about the constructicons. But the 2007 Megatron and that Shockwave are SEXY AS BALLS!

Both of them will be a sure buy when they come out.

There appears to be a track on the underside of Scavenger’s forearms I believe that’s where that square peg on Hightower (and Scrapper) will slide in.

If you're talking about the cut out on the white part, then no way, it's closed off and seems way too narrow to accommodate the connector :-?

It's crazy that the treads are actually hidden inside the wheels in bot mode, I love it :-?

He did so briefly during the chase before being cut in half.

I think the forearm bends up leaving that red piece at the elbow in place revealing the track. The square peg is actually pretty small and that’s a leader class. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

OK, so today was an exciting day, and we have all the Wave 9 Studio Series reveals!

Here are my thoughts on each:

Looks frikkin amazing! Demolishor was my first RotF figure and one of the first Decepticons I got at all. He looks marvelous, definitely seeming like an improvement over his original figure. And the treads end up inside the wheels! That is brilliant.

Also looks really good! I've been trying to find Devastator face parts in there and i can't. I think the cab will fold inside out to become the face, that is the only way that can work from what I can see. He still looks good as his own individual too!

6 down, 2 reveals to go, and i think those will have the 2nd most interesting: Overload. (Scavenger was the first)

This one makes me nervous. This is yet another Shockwave that is a leader scale, and unlike his Siege counterpart, he doesn't seem to have a very good reason for it. He is a retool of a voyager with 3 non-posing accessories, very different from Optimus with a trailer. He needed his Driller! We need the Driller!

I'm also nervous because he is a retool of RotF Megatron, and that mold was pretty ass. One of the weakest of the line. they would have been better with a new mold.

Trash.

Like, this hurts Trash.

what have they done???? That jet mode is so boxy in the back. the middle is not streamlined or cohesive at all. The entire chest and crotch are wrong! The legs are boxy when the MPM proved you didn't need that!

What the hell did you guys do? You nailed the MPM, and then you make this... why?

On a plus, the head looks nice and the mace is awesome, but.... come on guys, i expected much better.

So with these reveals, how long until we get wreckers? Like, Wreckers, Dino, Que, Jolt, they have to be inevitable, right? And I am still holding out hope for a Leader class Infernocus

Unless they’re saving the wreckers for a 2021 10th anniversary release, I think it’s a really safe bet that we’ll see at least one in the next deluxe wave.

I’m trying to think how they could tackle a Driller in Studio Series, it would almost have to be a titan to get the scale across, maybe even just a short section as a commander class? I’m not sure how feasible it would be.

With Shockwave getting a toy without the Driller, I think we can forget the Driller toy at this point, it's a pipe dream. I don't think it does enough by itself to be an individual release sadly.

And I am so happy we are getting Brains and Wheelie. With them and the Arcees, the only Live Action Autobot I will be missing that was in the movies will be Dino. i have everyone else at some scale and toy, but Leadfoot and roadbuster need weaponized deluxes.

OK, I do have a Dino, but it is that Prime Cyberverse repaint of sideways, so it doesn't really count
