Enjoy!

Well - EVERYTHING looks better when it's set up for black light .

Dude, you have no idea. Battle Armor Skeletor, Horde Trooper, Revolve Change Geats. The colors pop!

No joke, even MOTU Origins Prince Adam.

Transformers hit me twice today. Only showing off a repaint of core bumblebee for Bayverse (RotB has been fantastic though) and now amazon pushed my Scourge back to 4/14 . But they came through with other lines reveals.

Glad to have it, but also a bummer that this is the only Bayverse figure in the Studio Series mainline this year.

It's really sad that this is all bayverse gets this year.

The way Hasbro sees it, all ROTB ss toys are Bayverse too

Everything is Bayverse!

He's not wrong

Yeah, this is the real reason. The way Hasbro sees it, you're getting plenty of Bayverse. I get you, though, I really want to get the missing bots from the previous movies.

Same here. I don't know if it was ever made clear, but it was me who reminded Hasbro on air that they had yet to complete those Dinobots.

It is, but Buzzworthy is at least helping out with the NEST repaints and a much needed reissue of DOTM Prime. Plus possibly Hatchet at some point and IIRC there's listings for another Buzzworthy SS Leader reissue this year, which would be nice.

Personally I'd want Grimlock since he's the only Bayverse SS Leader I don't have (and I think a reissue would be necessary for when they start doing the other AOE Dinobots given the long time gap), but Shockwave or Jetfire would also be good picks.

The fact that the first half of 2024 looks like a repeat of this year is discouraging, but I'm hoping it ends up like 2022 where we got a good amount of Bayverse in the later waves of the year.

Great custom! I agree, one of the best aspects of early movie designs is how non-humanoid they could get.

In a huge surprise, I actually Saw SS Airazor and SS100 BB at Target today. While none of the mainline RotB toys interest me, it's definitely a different world we are living in. Since the BB live action movie came out 4+ years ago. Back then TRU had just closed it's doors in the U.S., but at least Target and Walmart had plenty of movie and Generation toys on the shelves. Now it's a mere fraction of what it once was.

I'm still undecided on whether or not to buy anything from ROTB, but I'll admit Voyager Cheetor does look really good. I'm not that keen on Airazor, but I'll perhaps wait until we see Leader Optimus Primal and Voyager Rhinox, then see what they all look like together, before I decide,
