SS-76 voyager class Bumblebee Movie Thrust video review

The newest wave of SS Leaders has been spotted at a Target in the US (Virginia), including Grindor.

I’m all for a Studio Selects line, it’d be cool to get figures like Stealth Bumblebee with the updated molds.

Firstly, the final Studio Series leader class toys of 2021 are out at US retail. Those are Grindor with Ravage and Slag. They were found at Target in Virginia by TF fans Bryanwes and mlgpapalouie. As predicted, Grindor is out before Hasbro officially revealed him.

We also finally have stock images for Studio Series ROTF Bumblebee, Jolt and Sweep. As the Studio Series 86 line is all about movie accuracy, the Sweep is indeed almost identical to Scourge. The only difference with this toy seems to be that he has the "closed" hand on the left. Scourge had been hard to find for many and the sweeps are supposed to all look the same as him so this just makes any army building easier and gives others a chance to add Scourge to their collection.

Jolt's box is rather noteworthy since this is the very first accurate image we have ever had of his final look in the movie. These product images came from a site called koreannet.

Look closer.

Joking aside, this is the best scenario to satisfy both army builders and ensure everyone gets scourge. Don't know of they opted for this instead of simply repacking scourge so to ensure that stores would stock a "different" product and make sure everyone gets as many as they need.

Looks like Slag was actually found in Virginia, NOT West Virginia as reported by william-james

I guess we will have to wait for someone's toy review of the sweep to really see if there are any differences besides the hand swap
the fact is there shouldn't be any differences at all but it would be nice to have the sweeps at least have a slightly different shade of blue than scourge

Did anyoen else notice there is a difference in the chest piece of The Sweep? I think the head module is slightly smaller too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and that that's lighting.

The more I think about it, the more I think I think the way they handled it was for the best. At least for this line.

Very rare are those who would buy a two pack of the EXACT SAME TOY.

If such a two pack would be a thing, one of the two should have a different facial expression plus added deco like the good old "battle damage".

Sweep is basically a re-release of Scourge anyway.
