Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Carnivius_Prime and Autobase Aichi on Twitter we have official images of the new Transformers Studio Series figures just revealed at the Hasbro panel at the FanExpo Toronto. Again we see Leader Class Shockwave with Brains and Wheelie (and paratrooper not shown in official image), Leader Class Scavenger, Voyager Class 2007 Megatron, and Voyager Class Mixmaster, only now much clearer and in better detail. Scrapper and Overload can't be far behind, and more cast members from Dark of the Moon such as Sentinel Prime are no doubt on their way. With 2007 Megatron rounding out the original live action movie roster fans are already wondering if Frenzy has been left behind or may still appear somehow in a future release. Have fun speculating in the forums. Enjoy the images and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news.

Well I have no interest in that Megatron, but I am happy for those who wanted him. It looks like the wings fold around and become part of the legs, explaining some of their bulkiness.

As for the other 3, I think I will need to see the actual figures before I come to any conclusions. The renders don't do any favors for Mixmaster or Scavenger's mostly monochromatic paint jobs or faces (they could easily look better in person, see KSI Boss), I need to know if Mixmaster has a cannon mode and if I can enjoy the figure without having to see Devastator's face (I'm not doing the combiner thing), and I would really like a better look at Shockwave's size and alt mode. Right now it kinda just looks like Shockwave doing a painful yoga stretch, and the face on the front really doesn't help.

Also watch as Frenzy comes out later as part of an exclusive like Drift and the Mini-Dinobots.

Maybe they'll do a Protoform or Dispensor? Unlikely but could happen.

Actually, now that you mention Dispensor, maybe the will release a set of all of those stupid little kitchen bots at the beginning of ROTF. Just, like, a disgusting-mutant Mini-con set or something.

Maybe tweak the new SS Bumblebee mold for the ROTF Camaro and throw in the kitchenbots, like the Drift/mini-dinobot pack.

For Frenzy, maybe we could get an exclusive icy repaint of Megatron with a Sector 7 Backdrop? That could be cool.

That's the only real thing I could think of. Icy Megatron is the only thing that is still missing from '07.

(Well, and Protoform robots, but I could REALLLLLLY go without those, personally)

While I won't be getting every Constructicon, I may buy Mixmaster. I have Rampage and Long Haul already, so I was thinking of just having the four that go into the ocean and find Megatron's corpse with Ravage (missed opportunity not including a little Ravage figure with Rampage BTW). The original Voyager Megatron is good enough for me, so I'll skip this new one. Shockwave is very tempting, but I don't know if my Detolf cabinets can fit another Leader.

This is so weird, I was sure Shockwave would be released as a leader since he would be a voyager coming with that drill worm thing. But its just shockwave. I never took him to being as big as the other leaders. Plus that alt mode looks like ass. He's probably one of the only ones I will be skipping on.

Really want to see that giant Devy head mixmaster is hiding.

Posted by Rtron on August 23rd, 2019 @ 2:53pm CDT

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed that the 2007 Megatron is just a remold of ROTF Megatron. And if the height in the description is correct, wouldn't he be shorter than Starscream? That would be quite out of scale.

Also concerned we won't be getting Frenzy.

Shouldn't 07 Megs be a leader? I distinctly remember him towering over Prime in the first movie...

Posted by Bucky on August 23rd, 2019 @ 3:01pm CDT

I have some very mixed feelings about these reveals. I’m surprised and impressed by Scavenger. I never got to handle his first RotF toy, so this new one should be a nice treat. It helps that he looks like an improvement.

I’m delighted to see that we’re getting a new movie Shockwave, and with so many minifigs!!

Being such a massive fan of Mixmaster’s old voyager toy, I’m pretty disappointed by what I’m looking at here. But i’ll just have to keep in mind that he’s part of a much larger Combiner. He’s just not what I was expecting. I’ll wait for some in hand images, and see if he grows on me.

As for that Megatron, I’m left feeling pretty underwhelmed. He looks like such a step down after his first two (three) entries in the SS line. I fully admit that I had very negative views on Dark of the Moon Megatron, until I gambled and bought him. I was very, very happy to be so wrong about him. Turns out it was an amazing figure, and I’m glad I took a chance on it. RotF Megatron looks very simple and unadorned to me. Hopefully I turn out to be wrong again.

I wasn't looking forward to a new Shockwave, but the in-person pics of him look pretty good, I might be convinced in person.

Super excited for the constructicons, though Mixmaster looks kinda weak again imo. Doesn't seem like he'll have the cannon mode that the OG had, and still looks like he might fall over a lot. He was even knocked over in the display case. I guess it's a hard design to pull off in general, let alone with hidden Devy head. I hope he's got the Devastator head and there's no partsforming with Devastator. Wouldn't it be interesting though if the third torso figure had the head and no bot mode?

Found an image of SS Shockwave, if you look at the upper leg you can see the same thruster parts from SS ROTF Megatron, so he totally is a remold. The paint scheme also looks really good, much better than the render.

I also think I found out what it is I like so much about the 07 Megatron - the head sculpt. Something about the MPM head sculpt looks off to me, but the SS one looks perfect.

Meh, it's not like Shockwave ever actually transformed onscreen in the movie, so they can just make up whatever altmode they want him to have.

The paratrooper looks to be microman sized but probably not articulated. The parachute clips look to be from the GI Joe retaliation Cobra trooper that came with a parachute.

I agree. although *logically* Megatron should be the same size in Robot mode in all 3 films, the constant vehicle rescans I guess make this hard. I would think he would definitely have been Leader Class size in the first film and Voyager size in movies 2 & 3 (that DotM tuck ain't that big, despite what others claim...), but I guess that's why I'm not a SS collector, I like seeing them, but don't purchase any.

I wonder how long before we see a repaint of Scavenger as Demolishor. Probably when they make Grindor from Blackout, and....and now I'm confused....

They rename *some* Decepticons that have the same body type, but for Rampage there's Red Rampage (killed by BB, but that's the toy that is out now...), and Yellow Rampage, that was actually part of Devastator in the RotF film... :???:

Oh and so it's not all negativity, I like the little Wheelie & Brains figures that come with Shockwave. Nice way to release them

Maybe you've answered your own question already, but it looks very much like the wheels are hidden in the alt mode. Look under/behind the scoop arm in alt mode in the high-quality pics, that looks like the robot mode wheel.

Still love this guy, looks great.

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 toy. 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!

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

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 :-?

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

From what I read online and others have said before, I think the yellow Rampage is actually called Skipjack?

Yeah, Takara made a separate character named "Skipjack" from a yellow redeco of the red Legends/Legion class Rampage toy from the 2010 line, thereby enabling anyone to repurpose the yellow Rampage toys as the separate Skipjack character.

Hmm, kinda torn on these. Megatron and Shockwave being remolds (of the same figure, no less) kinda bugs me, although I admit both of these look pretty good. Just not sure they're so good I feel like blowing $30 each to replace the original voyagers I already have of both of them.

Scavenger looks like an improvement over the original, but those images of him next to the Shockwave don't make him look as HUGE as I was hoping he would be. He's the same model as Demolishor, and Optimus was barely taller than his wheel in the film. Was hoping he would be designed in a way where he would TOWER over other voyagers in the line, like SS Grimlock.

Mixmaster looks like a flat out downgrade to the original, IMO. Only reason to pick him up would be to form Devastator.

Megatron is a brand new mold. He just uses the wrong chest detailing, they screwed that up.

I agree though that Scavenger needed to be bigger. i'm happy with the size and look but it would have been perfect in an even larger size

Who said Shockwave's a retool? They're all brand new molds :-?

Shockwave has a couple parts from ROTF Megatron in his legs, and his transformation is largely similar. While it is mostly new parts, ROTF Megs is the base for Shockwave.

Someone on the last page pointed out that he could see some tooling of rotf voyager megs on Shocky.

The problem with scavenger being bigger is balancing devy, scale might not be what it should on the individual figures but Devy is the main focus this time around.

I'm shocked that D-Max is 07 Megs biggest detractor :lol:

I guess the mpm spoilt you ;-)

I think he's good considering the restrictions on his size class

Voyager retooled into Leader? :-?
