Transformers Studio Series The Fallen found in Gamestop Stores in Canada

My GameStop didn't had anything new on the shelves appart a lone Holiday Optimus Prime. I would have had saved around 10$CAN if I bought it there, but that was a chance I wouldn't take when I ordered mine and my friend's online.

What character from the movies would like to see get a commander class release? For me I want to see all of the TF4 dinobots done at CC for better scale. Maybe Devcon would work here too? Wouldn't mind a proper Scavenger/Demolisher that could go and take the leader classes place and make Devastator even more accurate.

A Commander Magnus, especially tossed into SS86, is groanworthy levels of utterly unnecessary.

For movie commanders, the following all could work:

-AOE Dinobots (they've done G1 Ironhide 3 times in 4 years, having a new scale to re-do Grimlock in would be both practical and awesome)
-DotM Devcon
-TLK Infernocus
-Demolishor (sure he could re-use the Scavenger mold, but a larger version for screen accuracy to the beginning of RotF can work too)
-Blackout/Grindor (see above comment)
-Jetwing Prime (another case of already done, but they could make it far more accurate by just using voyager Prime and adding the jet armor to make him properly bigger, balanced, and more movie accurate)

I have been transforming Crosshairs and Hot Rod some more, these are 2 really good deluxes, definitely some very fun figures. Despite not getting a lot, this year was very solid for live action SS.

I had to go the Wiki. Great call!

I really wish someone would do comparison pics between Studio Series Movie Megatron and Premium Finish Movie Megatron to show off their differences, since they look so similar to each other.

I don't know about you, but I sure didn't miss the days of getting piece meal leaks with a lot of the product obscured. But here we are again with leader class ROTB Scourge from Studio Series. He and Optimus Primal are the only ROTB leaders that we know of at the moment with SS86 Snarl being the other leader coming out next year. The toy in the photo is also not fully transformed, but it does give us an idea at the detail we'll get with the toy and we have a good look at its headsculpt which resembles the Terrorcon logo used in the film. Hopefully this means that the toy is well into production and we'll get better shots of this figure which will give us a better look at the character design. We can see that he has a claw hand, as we saw in the trailer and his other hand seems to have a blade type weapon, probably what he uses to impale Bumblebee in the film.

As for the rest of him, I see that he's not fully transformed, but honestly I was expecting him to be bulkier.

I was too, from initial impressions from concept art we weren't privy to, but in the trailer he looked quite lean and generic. This looks pretty close to that.

Sorry...to me the leaks were the most fun and I DID miss the leaks, just to watch people panic, complain, then eventually recant when the better, finished, more accurate figure pictures come out.

The only part I'm interested in right now is the face, which almost has a samurai vibe to me...

Welp, i don't feel comfortable making any kind of observation about that figure except it looks like he's got a big twisty claw/pincher on one hand and that's interesting

I would, but my retail one is still in moving totes. I will get there eventually. But EM-Bee is right, the PF one is darker and has multiple other colors with it too.

Scourge looks interesting, like the looks of the head at least. Given that we are nearing when Wave 1 2023 should theoretically be coming out, wonder how long until the rest of the wave are properly revealed.

I got no robots for christmas, but Laserbeak did chill with me for New Years, I still like him

Scourge seems fairly screen acurate from what we can tell, but we'll have to see more pics. I like the alt mode design but I'm not sold on robot mode from what we've seen in the trailer.

Also, I finished something I've been working on for a long time - my custom SS-44 DOTM Optimus Prime with hand painted flames! Did some modding as well, adding the missing roof lights and longer smokestacks!
