Transformers Studio Series Voyager Shockwave Found in US + Review

Canada's GameStop PO is set for May 1st. So it's still a few weeks away. Hope it'll be shipped sooner!

Mine just shipped from Pulse

A few notes from today's Transformers Fanstream:

TF:One Deluxe Optimus Prime was confirmed to be the first figure in the A Level category. They mentioned he should be easy to find and be on shelves for around 9 months. The figure is also specifically colored to perfectly match the movie color pallet.

They then went on to talk about the Wondercon reveals hitting stores now.

Nothing new to say about Swoop that we haven't already seen.

Apparently the size chart for the Bumblebee Movie lists Sunstreaker as a giant in bot mode and they chose to make him normal sized to match the other figures.

Nothing new to say about Sideswipe.

Our own Jon Bailey (AKA Epic Voice Guy) from the Twincast Podcast got a shoutout on the stream (you can hear him on the recent episode as of this time #347) for voicing Bumblebee Movie Shockwave in the movie!

Spacebridge "reveals" (just announced, not shown on the stream):

SS86 Core class Steeljaw
WFC Gamer Edition Deluxe Decepticon Trooper
Bumblebee Movie Voyager Skywarp,
SS86 Leader Springer (confirmed bulked up retool of the Siege Voyager)
SS86 Bumblebee (new mold)
Pulse Exclusive Comic Edition Leader Straxus

You know, after seeing what they did with Blitzwing, I had an inkling that this would happen. So I just got a Siege Springer for my SS86 shelf and called it a day. Even if the new one is technically a new mold, I knew it wouldn't be all that different.

Most useless release of the line coming up. And still, another leader slot that could have gone to a live action Dinobot.

Agreed on both counts.

I need to see Leader Class Straxus! Also really hoping one of his accessories is a head in a jar, too.

Leader Straxus and Core Steeljaw are definite purchases. I've been waiting 32 years for a proper Straxus toy.

Swoop still looking great

Happily getting that comic Grimlock
And very excited for comic straxus, id love to get a good version of that guy

Nothing in that list interests me besides Steeljaw and bee.

I do find it interesting that Bee states a new mold next to it, so what will it be? I feel the Netflix VW molds works just fine for G1 and can't imagine what possible improvements could be made. Not going to complain though if it totally rocks!

As for Steeljaw, it's nice to finally get a new one and hope it's as good if not better than the new Rumble/Frenzy. Only issue is it feel like a long ways off. Speaking if Frenzy, EE just emailed me to say my PO for it was pushed back to January 25!

Except that for accuracy's sake a proper 86 Bee needs to be more of a Chibi/SD design and not a proper Volkswagon that part forms.

Surprised the Beewun seekers weren't given a ton of repaints at this point.
