Notes and Screen Caps from May 14 Pulse Livestream

Posted by Emerje May 14, 2024 at 11:56am CDT 138,949 views
Notes from the live stream:

SS86 Core Steeljaw - Confirms the speaker does attach to Blaster.

SS Gamer Edition Deluxe Decepticon Trooper - Very heavily retooled from Barricade. Evan claims the green is game accurate despite how dark he looked in the game.

SS Bumblebee Movie Voyager Skywarp - Exactly what you would expect for a a repaint of Starscream, does feature a new head similar to Blitzwing's.

SS86 Leader Springer - New chest, head, shoulders and opening hands plus new accessories including the catapult missile from the beginning of the movie, his sword from his fight with Wreck-Gar and a Wrecker's hammer just because they had more room in the molds. Hidden blaster in his wrist.

SS86 Deluxe Bumblebee - A Level confirmed, showing up in July along with Transformers One Optimus Prime. Not a parts former. Gray windows because the hinges are unpaintable PA plastic, don't expect a blue window repaint later. Autobot symbol on the hood accurately "disappears" in bot mode thanks to the transformation.

Also Leader class Straxus for Comic Edition shown, heavily retooled from Kingdom Galvatron. Canon barrel can be pegged to his back or held. Teasing new character as fourth figure (we can see perhaps a pointed shoulder and yellow hand on the spine of the box).

Bayblades crossover shown, just tops with Transformers stickers on them. Two 2 packs: Optimus Prime and Megatron, Starscream and Optimus Primal.

Talked about upcoming album, pre-order on Pulse today, digital version September 17. Followed by a quick greeting from Stan Bush.

Another promotion for Robosen Megatron. Now comes with a collector coin, also announced that 40 random figures around the world will be signed by Frank Welker for orders placed before May 26.

I wish they were still doing Shattered Glass stuff; these new reveals would be so nice in that line.

Steeljaw, Straxus as Bard of Darkmount, Sideburn, Cybertron Hot Shot as Goldbug, Slipstream, etc.

It was so nice, while it lasted.

That Straxus. :x :x :x

I wonder who that yellow hand belongs to. A comic edition Jhiaxus?

If we get a comic version of that Bee I'll pick it up.

I'm assuming the other amplifier for Blaster is coming with Ramhorn.

Also, am I the only one who thought of Klaw from Marvel when seeing that?

Well bumble bee looks 100 percent more like a penny racer in car mode but also 80 percent less bumble beeish.

Looks like they haven't fixed springers accuracy. Can't make out if they are really trying to pull off selling it at leader class or not on my phone.

Anyone know what happened with Core Class Beewun Screamer?

He'll most likely be one of those figures that sort of shows up in stores. He seemingly hasn't been canceled or anything, he's available for pre-order in Japan for an August release.

What does the Reaper think of these offerings?

Studio Series Gamer Edition Deluxe "Decepticon Trooper": It's a retool of a Barricade figure which almost nobody liked. And I can't see myself liking it as a generic army builder. Pass!

Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Voyager Skywarp: This one's a recolor of the Starscream mold for that movie. I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now that it's recolored. Pass!

SS86 "Leader" Springer: It's a retool of Siege Voyager Springer, with a few accessories tossed in to fool the gullible into thinking you're getting your money's worth with a Leader class price point. They're not fooling ME! I may pick it up, but only if it goes on deep discount down to Voyager price. That's all this one deserves. Hasbro: You can't fool ME with such trickery! Phooey on youie!

SS86 Deluxe Bumblebee: A new mold for this one, or at least a mold that's been so heavily modified that I can't recognize which it came from. I may pick it up.

Core Steeljaw: A cassette minion for Blaster that ISN'T Eject! Finally. But I'm slopping over with Micromaster Cassettes, so I'll likely pass.

Leader Straxus: It may be heavily modified, but it's still a remold of Kingdom Leader Galvatron. The tripod cannon mode looks interesting, and the robot mode looks interesting from the waist up. From the waist down, you can tell who it really is ;). Most likely a pass.

Well we could say Galvatron was a pre-tool for Straxus even if he came out 2 years earlier. :-P In media, Straxus did appear 1st, he just never became so high profile. So who is it really?

You didn't miss anything. Bumblebee is part of the "A Level" assortment that will be available in stores for 9-12 months. Hasbro's gonna flood the shelves with him.

Pretty sure it's Rodimus.

Personally, I'm dissapointed to see so many retools and redecos, Hasbro is really keeping tabs on their budget like never before. The only new molds revealed were Bumblebee and Steeljaw, and the only new mold coming in the 4th wave is Optimus Prime.

Sooo

Seibertron.com

What do you want to talk about?

I knew when I saw Steeljaw that Speaker was meant for Blaster, which makes that SS86 version all the more desirable. I'm impressed that the wings and side guns can be stored in alt mode, which looks less like a tape and more like a USB drive.

They did all they could to the Siege Springer mold to make it more G1 movie/toon accurate short of a new mold. I appreciate the new accessories which seems to include a toy/show-accurate rifle. I like the new sword that becomes the rotor blades in helicopter mode but the thrilling 30 version still has the best sword. I do think if they just did the remolding and left the accessories as is, this could've been sold as a voyager.

While I like SS86 Bumblebee it doesn't look as good as the Walmart release and nowhere near as good as the MP ver01 figure. I can see how they're trying to work in the inevitable Cliffjumper retool and a possible GS Bumper figure.

Images of Transformers Studio Series leader class Springer are being shared online, coming from an e-bay listing. They show a comparison between this new Springer and the voyager mold it's based on (specifically the Amazon exclusive toy based redeco). We can now see how much retooling or new tooling is involved, such as the head, chest, ect. We also see that the new one has articulated hands and comes with more accessories. You'll let us know if it's worth it to get this new one or not.

Nope. Not worth the extra $$$. I would get it if I didn't have Siege already, but he's good enough.

And do you really think we're getting a comic edition Rodimus? Out of the Kingdom figure? Or a new mold, since the box will most likely be for a leader figure?

The latest rumor is that the final fourth Marvel set will be a 2-pack of Xaaron and Flame, who will probably be no larger than Deluxes if they wanna keep the packaging size consistent.

This covers my thoughts also.

Yeaaaah I am not saying nope but will probably wait till it has been on shelves for 6 months and drops in price on Amazon like ss86 leader starscream.

Comment by EvasionModeBumblebee May 14, 2024
I was holding out a little bit of hope that we'd see TLK Drift who we had a listing for a while ago in this wave, but got reportedly delayed. Nothing for me from today's stuff, but we should see that ROTF multipack in July so there's something to look forward to before 2025!

The SS86 Springer is not ugly but it looks nowhere near as good as the Siege version. It has too much grey and a blue Autobot symbol.

No, you got that backwards. The gray one with the blue :WRECKERS: is the Siege-molded Amazon Wreckers Springer. SS86 Springer is the other one.
