Rumoured 2024 Studio Series Toys include Leader Swoop, Core Mohawk and More

Starscream and Scorponok must be repacks...unless it's going to be Energon Scorpy?

SS Sunstreaker? He made like a 3 second cameo in the 86 movie...

And MOHAWK?!?!? FInally!

For Shockwave, it could be the BB movie shockwave, that's one of the few bots from that intro we didn't get to fit with the rest yet. Really not sure about Megatron, but I don't think it will be TLK.

I was holding onto hope that 2024 would be better than 2023 for Bayverse stuff since we only have a single core repaint in the mainline for the entireity of this year, and hopefully we'll see more Bayverse at the end of 2024, but that lineup is super disappointing to see.

Like, I could tolerate 86 when we were still getting a handul of Bay figures a year (like 2022) but now between 86 and the WFC games for some reason, we're down to getting a single core figure a year when we still have a big part of the Bay roster to get through.

It's difficult to say because it didn't pan out when I said it recently for 2023, but man, I have to hope there's more Bay stuff at the end of 2024.

What about Deluxe Scorponok? That can only be the Movie version, since no other Scorponok has appeared in a movie, and there wasn't a Scorponok in the High Moon Studios games.

The listings here don’t include it, but the original listings have this Scorponok as being from ROTB (TF7)

So, some notes.

First of all, looking at TFW, it appears that the Voyagers and Leaders have Target listings in a picture on their article, and JTPrime just posted the product numbers and EANs, so it seems like this is definitely all legit.

Second (and perhaps most importantly), the leakers & people with insider info over there appear to be repeating the notion that some of these listings that say "MV6" (which is how they denote Bumblebee) are actually mislabeled SS86 products (which happened in the past with at least SS86 Core Wheelie, don't remember if it impacted anyone else). For those who haven't looked over there for the full listings, that means the following:
-Megatron is either a figure based off of I guess concept art of him for Bumblebee (which should exist since we know he was planned and then cut from the film), or he's G1 Megs (still with a tank mode according to Q&A commentary from the past)
-Shockwave is either a Voyager/properly-sized version of his Bumblebee design (which I think is most likely), or is some kind of SS86 release (would probably have to be a new mold to emit the Siege bits and fit at Voyager?)
-Sunstreaker is either a design they made up out of nowhere as a hypothetical of "what if he was in Bumblebee" (or he has concept art we don't know about), or is SS86 (which makes more sense to me, both due to his nonexistent connection to Bumblebee and because Mark said in a Q&A that he knows ER Sunstreaker's colors don't match and expressed interest in fixing it)
-Rumble is a mystery no matter what, since he should include the PR label if he's a rerelease of the SS86 Rumble that already exists, but he doesn't, but also he's another bot that wasn't actually in Bumblebee (and he shouldn't just be a red version of that SS86 Rumble, since we have SS866 Frenzy on the docket for this year, unless that listing is also wrong?)
-Core Starscream could technically be SS86 too, but since Core G1 Screamer already exists, and we already had a rumor that a Core of Bumblebee Screamer was on the way, this one is probably labeled correctly

...I'm going to bed now.

It will when there's a consensus or further proof.

What's to say these aren't simply reuses of the WFC molds (minus the extra bits for Shocky)? They already did that with SS Coronation Starscream

Wait, if the Deluxe "Scorpinock" is rumored to be Predacon Scorponok, is it possible that the Leader Megatron is actually Predacon Megatron as well?

Why would Beast Wars characters be in the Studio Series Line?

Nothing of note really, be nice if it is a reissue of Sunstreaker. Even if he barely appeared in the 86 Movie getting him back out again is the main thing, and they seem to need filler for SS86 these days.

Shockwave being a Voyager shocks me, I just don't know how they pull that off if it's the Siege leader figure. So it's most like some other garbage version from a lackluster source.

It's interesting how people constantly complain about the lack of Bay Bots, my guess is that Hasbro simply releases what sells the most. I also feel the further we get from those horrible movies and move into new ones the less you'll see figures from the Bay movies.

Because Beast Wars characters are in Rise of the Beasts? We've already seen Studio Series Airazor and Cheetor, remember.

Yeah, but Scorponok and Megatron aren't, are they? I thought the point of SS was movie characters.
