Studio Series 39 Deluxe Class Autobot Cogman Video Review!

Never even seen the original. I'll take it!

I don't plan on getting him since I'm focusing on the first 3 movies, but I have to say that alt-mode paint job is gorgeous. I really like that you can fit 2 titan masters in the car too, but that's not new from the original mold.

Who else is in Cogman's wave? Shatter, Rampage, and Bumblebee movie Optimus?

I am tempted because as others have said, I never even saw the original one, and I like that it has compatibility with TR. This furthers my thinking however that TLK Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leader Class were basically a *Proto SS* line. Hopefully though, not every toy released in TLK 2017 will end up with shiny repaints and details in the SS line, unless it is 3-4 years form now, in which case they have exhausted all other characters form the first four films, and are coming full circle.

You know, now that I think about it...In terms of *the ending of* the Studio Series line...Since Hasbro has apparently have accepted the challenge of attempting a movie-accurate RotF Devastator, I think the best way they can finish the line is with a Movie Accurate Dragonstorm made of 12 Deluxe Knights of Cybertron

I'd rather a satisfying steelbane first...

OMG YES PLEASE THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!! And no doubt it will be a DAMN HUGE figure if the Knights are in scale with the other SS Figures, but I think that makes it better as there will be much room for attention to the details (especially the "spikiness" of Dragonstorm").

I find the current one pretty cool, in bot mode at least. There a slightly improved OS KO as well.

I actually liked his beast mode, but I just couldn't bring myself to drop that kind of money on a figure so mired in such widespread problems

Dunno about Hound. I got the TLK voyager cheap in a store before christmas and he's actually too big for Studio Scale. He should be the same size as Ironhide (who is a lil big for Studio Scale himself but that's what he got and he's a great figure despite that and the front bumper) but he towers over him unless you squat his legs considerably. Fun toy though.

And of course Deluxe Sqweeks is ridiculously too large for anything. I have him but he exists as a fun toy all of his own (with sometimes Link from Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds riding him in moped mode) And leader class Prime and Megatron are way too big, the voyager figures are fine (and better in my opinion anyways. And TLK Bee is probably too large but he's in the Studio line anyways in a double pack so yeah...

I've got a super cheap 2nd hand Steelbane coming today (or Monday depending on my local postie). Was £5 including postage but I felt bad about it being so cheap so gave the seller an extra couple of pounds. Any loose joints on the figure I can fix up easily. I'm not fussed about the alt-mode, I just really like the knight-style robot mode.

Is this the first SS figure to only be a repaint and not a new mold or remold?

Megs and Shadow Raider have different heads I know, but they’re not that different aside from paint decos. I don’t know if Ratchet had any differences though.

Ratchet has different accessories so in a sense it's a "remold" to an extent.

Cogman is a repaint...of a figure from a completely different line that was difficult to find.

There isn't any straight repaints in this line that don't include anything new whether that be weapons or heads with the exception of Clunker Bumblebee and Crankcase which the latter is a travesty.
