Reveal of Bumblebee Movie SS Ratchet, Brawn, Shockwave, Soundwave, Ravage and Wheeljack Toys

Brawn looks outstanding, definitely want him. Ratchet looks pretty good too! Soundwave's alt mode is kind of abstract but I'm surprisingly OK with it.

Soundwave's alt mode is definitely...unique?




The Deluxe Autobots look cool. Ravage looks ok, I understand the limitations of the "cassette" alt mode, and cannot make the jaguar look as dynamic as it should. Why they are releasing Shockwave as a core class instead of a voyager or leader still doesn't make sense.

Interesting interpretations. Disappointed that they made Shockwave another H-tank. Somehow, that just never seems to look good on him. Not sure what SS Soundwave is supposed to be - a Goblin Glider, perhaps? Hopefully there will be a 'lamppost' mode

Ooohh, color me intrigued.

Shockwave looks great.

Loving Brawn, will get him and Wheeljack definitely.

Ratchet is o.k.

What the heck does Soundwave transform into exactly?

Ravage looks great, but not sure that is a cassette looks like he's just balled up.

Anyone else getting the feeling gears is going to be the recolor of this new brawn mold?

They probably based Core Shockwave's alt mode on Dark of the Moon's Shockwave alt mode to be fair.

Soundwave turns into The Bat from The Dark Knight Rises.

So far these look pretty good, seems like they made something up for Ravage's and Soundwave's alt-modes just to not confuse kiddies with cassette recorders! (Much like marketing Six Shot's totally-not-an-upside-down-gun mode as a "submarine") I think I have a good enough of an imagination to see Soundwave's "vehicle" mode as some kind of alien hovercraft, but I think we're all just gonna go for the classic cassette recorder or lamppost modes, heh.

Ratchets and Brawns vehicle modes look great. I'd need to give Brawn a different head in bot mode though and not have it representing Brawn at all but I'm pretty sure I have a spare Brawl titan master head.

Soundwaves alt mode looks pretty bad unless it has meant to have a purpose and even then, not so sure of it. Ravage looks pretty bad, he was way more zoid/energon looking but I guess the Energon figure could be used instead of him.

Shockwaves just kinda meh, would rather it been like the movie video game alt mode otherwise the other Baynus one SS or not would be the one to go for.

Not liking the new core packaging boxes, kinda hides the size of the figure (like how they exagerated TR Gnaws size) or feels a huge waste of packaging in Ravages case.

Two definite buys for me aint bad for a line I keep uhming and ahming if I should just sell what I have and keep to the other stuff.

I like how Brawn's drill from that one episode is being used for his movie incarnation's Cybertronian mode.

That gun under Ravage looks like Soundwave's missile. It also has a rear peg and Soundwave's shoulder cannon has a front port. Yeah it's supposed to go in his handgun but oh well. I mean, there wasn't anything stopping someone from putting one of the missiles in the G1 shoulder cannon right? There's a port on the front of it. I haven't had a complete G1 Soundwave in a long time so I don't remember fully if you can. However, that's how I remembered it until I got Titanium Soundwave and the weapons were switched as far as I was concerned lol.

Speaking of Ravage, is it just me or does it look like the "create a Decepticon" original artwork for Night Stalker as created by Jason Yeo? No I don't mean Nightstalker who's a redeco of Steeljaw and an Autobot.

They all look like very good figures overall. I don't always pick up Studio Series figures for some reason but I'll be getting all of these. I'll even get two Ravage just so I can repaint one slightly into Night Stalker. I think I'll end up changing the eyes to red, the center head stripe to yellow and the red on the legs to yellow. I'll keep the sides of the head red to simulate the red in the ears of the original artwork.
