Wow, I knew Ravage was smaller than most Cores when shown in package next to Shockwave, but he's even smaller than I thought he'd be.

And yet that's still not the smallest Ravage we've ever gotten!

The more I look at the Core class Shockwave, the more I like it, however I will be skipping it as it looks like it is a downscaling of a figure I already have. Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager class Shockwave!

Why skip it? It's made to be used with larger figures like titans and such. Your BH Shockwave could also have a son!

Main reason is that I'm at a point I need to be very selective what I buy for my collection! Right now my wish list for figures is the Studio Series Bumblebee Ratchet, Legacy Skids, and my current ultimate grail, Titans Return Misfire!

Is that the throne / command chair from the SS-86 Starscream?

Hopefully you get him soon, it's honestly a nice figure. I have mine displayed amongst his other Targetmaster brethren! (Still waiting for a new Needlenose toy...at least the subscription service figure can suffice in the meantime...)

Sure is. Just need some black paint and Movie-styled Impactors to complete the picture

Imagine actually transforming Soundwave correctly so he doesn't have his head showing in alt mode. Dude shoulda looked at the instructions (No need to correct me, I'm "aware" of why he may potentially be missing instructions). As For Soundwave and Ravage, I was really hoping to just buy the Offroad Bumbelebee (which i did) and have my sole BB movie representation. But these Cybertron bots and cons from the movie are so tempting that I may want to dip into the live action side of Studio Series too.

Shockwave looks great and all, but his existence still bothers me. His inclusion in Studio Series makes no sense when it comes to scale, he’s one of the first SS figures to break this rule, it seems. It would have made way more sense to release a G1 Core Class Shockwave, he would complement the other Kingdom Core Cons perfectly.

Thanks. Yes. Recreating Siege Soundblaster’s throne room.

I don't see any way to hide the head on Soundwave. The picture of it upright is the bottom of the alt mode with the head turned backwards, in the picture of the top the head is turned down. In neither picture is there anything that would hide the head. I don't think they intend for you to look at it from the underside.

I think there's some flaps on the shoulders that fold out to hide the head, at least that's what they look like. Could be wrong, and it doesn't do a whole lot to reduce the sheer nothingyness of the altmode. A shame as his robot mode looks fantastic.
Shockwave looks good too, though damn those proportions are thicc! I had a very silly idea a while back for justifying multiple Shockwaves by saying he created multiple clones of himself to solve his understaffing problem (it's only logical!) and this can be the obligatory female clone/the Slipstream.

Yes, the flaps were shown covering the head in an earlier leak. Altmode still looks like nothing, but at least it's a more visually cohesive pile of nothing.

Shockwave looks really nice, just needs to be bigger.
Soundwave has a nice robot mode, and Ravage is also good looking. They will make a nice pair

There's a couple really interesting points from today's Hasbro Q&A about Studio Series!
BB Arcee is a part of wave 2 (along BB Ironhide) and slated for release around May 2022. From that, we can estimate that DOTM Bumblebee and ROTF Sideways (Wave 3) would be due in late summer/fall 2022.
It's not a lot, but it's nice to hear them acknowledge that we'll be seeing more Bayverse in SS with how little we've gotten recently compared to prior years, specifically citing TLK, which has quite a few characters with no figures. We do have a Studio Series Brains already though, which the question mentions.
The first part of Hasbro's response has me really intrigued. Being in the movie in at least one form could bring in characters like Springer (Ospreys are very common in the movies, especially DOTM), Breakway (F-35s appear in TLK), and maybe that Decepticon armored truck in DOTM that carries the pillars?
Man, having a display with Starscream and Ospreys with flight stands would be SO cool.
