You probabably noticed that yesterday's reveals did not seem numerous enough to fill a whole wave of Studio Series toys. Well that's because the wave will be made up mostly of repacks, and we now know their contents thanks to listings on Entertainment Earth. You'll notice that 86 Bumblebee and TF One Prime are not there and that's because they are in their own specific case that retailers can order all year round.

Core wave 10
Actual breakdown not given but an 8 figure case includes
SS86 Steeljaw
SS86 Ratchet
Bumblebee Movie Rumble

Deluxe wave 25
2x TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF7 BARCELONA (ROTB Wheeljack)
1x TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX MV6 SUNSTREAKE
2x TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX WFC SIDESWIPE

With regards to the reveals, they were very disappointing. I can't believe we are to the point where I am only going to buy a single figure from a wave of Studio Series, and that is the 4th use of a mold.

Springer is not a leader, sorry, that level of retooling should've kept him at a voyager, and those accessories are not enough for a leader.

In other news, I do really enjoy Sunstreaker

I like both versions a lot, and can't choose a favorite depending on the angle. The siege version looks better from the side and back, but the SS looks better from the front IMO. I think I will likely pick this up for the accessories, and the lack of battle damage. I like having multiple versions of the same character if both versions are good. I still want to go back and get that CHUG springer from years ago. It was a really neat looking one and I liked it's redesign. It also looked good as sandstorm, and I think there was a hot rod repaint?

Anyways, ramble over. Cool figure. Nuff said.

Agreed. Just comparatively, all those accessories alone wouldn't match the material used for Siege Astrotrain's tender, and that's also not factoring in that Astrotrain came with 5 weapons.

This could also be compared to the SS86 Throne Starscream, but at least his accessories were quite large.

The throne and cape both occupied a fair amount of space, so those accessories were somewhat worth the price, even if they clearly were not highly desired

ER Optimus Prime

SS86 Starscream

SS86 Springer

Legacy leader Soundwave

All of these are voyagers with an accessory pack sold as "leaders."
Love it or gate it, the trend seems to stay.

So, which voyager will be "leaderified" next?

Thing is, Springer really doesn't have extra mass. He has basically 4 new standard sized accessories. That isn't a $20 upgrade. And the changes to his robot mode are in-line with what they could do with a voyager retool, so it's not like that added a lot either

This is probably closer to how they justified making Hot Rod a Voyager, but upping the parts count and adding a bunch of individual accessories. Even though they seemed to just be updating parts 1:1, they actually added more function to the new ones. The hands are now two parts and the, the wheels are now pinned to his arms instead of popped onto his shoulders, and his backpack is now at least 3 chunky parts instead of one. That's just the obvious stuff.

I think this is a much better update than just putting new hands on Starscream and a throne (the same throne that didn't really affect the price when included with the Nemesis Brdige three pack).

You forgot the cape and crown, accessories that are basically a downscale from MP-11, plus the extra null rays that came with it. They could have charged the leader price just for those, but they overkilled it with the throne.

I don't think I've been more underwhelmed by a figure than SS86 Coronation Starscream.
That whole scene in the movie was actually really cool and very memorable, but none of that was captured in that figure release.
On top of that, imo it was a horrible use of a leader class slot, and annoyed me even more since I'm such a fan of this subline.

I am very happy with this new Springer, even just for the figure itself.
The accessories are fine, but didn't really do anything to sway me or up my excitement. Now, I can agree that this doesn't seem worthy of $55+. But I do like this character a lot, and this version is improved enough, especially making him taller; he's supposed to be as big as Optimus.
The price is also probably easier for me to digest since so far I'm skipping everything from Legacy except Gears. Yeah, I'm assuming I'll get Legacy Soundwave, partially because of the cassettes. But still...
My main purchases will be Swoop, Springer, CC OP, Blaster, and Bee. Steeljaw will be a little icing.

You should have said something, people have been asking about that for a while now since it hasn't been officially announced by Hasbro yet (just Takara Tomy). Even the other news sights seem to have just noticed.

I have a theory about our “Next Gen” Bumblebee who’s slated for Studio Series wave 4 this year.

My Initial thought would have been Reactivate, but with the recent news that they don’t plan on doing anything from Reactivate this year and the fact that the listing hasn’t disappeared like Reactivate Lifeline, makes me think that it isn’t Reactivate.

Now, they’ll often use descriptors like “Next Gen” to differentiate between two Bumblebee designs from the same movie, like Clunker Bumblebee for the 2007 movie or Offroad Bumblebee for the Jeep design from BB. I think “Next Gen” is a good descriptor for AOE Concept Camaro Bumblebee, used to differentiate it from the High Octane design for Bumblebee from the same movie. It’d be cool if we got something for AOE’s 10th!

I’m certainly not getting my hopes up considering how the line has been the last few years, but I’d love if this next gen Bee was the AOE concept Camaro design!

Happy 15th anniversary to Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen!

While I didn't get to see the movie right away, I remember having a LOT of fun in the hype buildup for the movie. I was at ToysRUs the day the figures officially released to get deluxe Bumblebee, and I was actually at the Air and Space museum shortly before the movie came out, not realizing it had been filmed there! While I could do without some of the cruder bits, I really love the movie and it gave us some of the best designs and action sequences of the franchise!

Here's a couple of my custom Studio Series projects from ROTF! I'm working on more; Grindor, Rampage, and an update to my Elita-1 were in progress when I left and I'll be picking them back up soon!

ROTF 15th_edited-1.jpg

Hope we can see some more Studio Series ROTF figures in the future, I'd definitely like to see a Demolishor!

Your work is always superb. And while I don't like Revenge of the Fallen as a movie for various reasons, it does have some excelent action scenes and features some of the best and most imaginative Transformers designs ever. The Constructicons, satellite Soundwave, the bike sisters and Jolt are among my top favourite designs of all time.

Twincast/Podcast member Aaarnhide19 has for letting us know that the Deluxe Studio Series Gamer Edition Decepticon Soldier has been found in the wild. This Gamer troop-builder was successfully able to be purchased at the Meijer in Kokomo Indiana. Happy hunting and be sure to tune into the Twincast/Podcast to hear what Aarnhide19 has to say about this new release! For those not lucky enough to discover the Soldier in the wild he is still available on Hasbro Pulse- however the release date is still slated for September 1, 2024.

Excited to get them. These guys will be the first time I’ve ever done army-building, I’ve wanted a figure of them since the game released.

Isn't the Decepticon Trooper based on the Barricade mold, that many have said doth suck?

And I thought the Decepticons in general were better known for being able to fly - wouldn't a deluxe jet-former have been more apropos?
