First look at Studio Series DOTM Megatron, ROTF Jetfire and... Constructicons

[griffin]

A convention on in the UK at the moment had a display by Hasbro that included two new Studio Series toys (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/studio-series-leader-class-dark-of-the-moon-megatron-and-revenge-of-the-fallen-jetfire-revealed/42296/) - Dark of the Moon Megatron (tanker truck) and Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire.
Both are said to be Leader class, with Jetfire having an axe and Megatron having a fabric cowl.


And leaked through one of the usual Chinese sources, the cover of an instruction booklet (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/voyager-long-haul-possibly-coming-to-transformers-studio-series-as-ss42/42291/) for SS-42 Voyager Long Haul.

With leaked listings that have several other Constructicons to be released in the Studio Series, it has been suggested (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/studio-series-devastator-in-2020-rumor.1162399/) that the Studio Series Constructicons could be designed to combine into Devastator.

[Omega Metro]

I sold off my original figures (which I regret) of these 3 so very happy to get some new versions.

[Magnus]

I'm hoping Megatron turns out to be a leader class. I've wanted DotM leader Megatron with his shotgun and a cloth cloak since the movie came out.

Jetfire looks interesting, but I want to see more photos of him. Like other Studio Series figures, he'll likely be based on the final animation model rather than being based on concept art, and not having an electronics pack or (possibly) needing to combine with Optimus will work in the figure's favour.

[griffin]

Meanwhile, over in Paris (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/10/26/paris-comic-con-2018-hasbro-panel-studio-series-new-reveals-leader-class-jetfire-voyager-bonecrusher-rotf-jetwing-optimus-prime-374823), Hasbro are participating in another convention at the same time, showing off ROTF Jetfire with two more toys - ROTF Voyager Optimus (remoulded to be able to combine with Jetfire) and Voyager Bonecrusher.
They also released official promo images of the three (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/10/26/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-and-bonecrusher-official-images-374864), which are only computer generated, so don't give us a lot of detail. (it also erroneously notes Optimus as "Transformers", when it should be "Revenge of the Fallen", since it combines with Jetfire)
The presentation notes these as wave 1, so might be scheduled for release in January (as wave 1 of 2019).

I'm.... I'm gonna need a bigger shelf.:D

Hmmmm, I really liked DOTM Megs, but that one is looking a little too Mad-Max for me, his spikes weren’t that massive. Will have to see it in person to decide.

Interesting about Long Haul. I thought he looked great in ROTF - easily the best Constructicon by a long shot - so would’ve good to see what the finished product looks like

The link I posted in my last posting (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/10/26/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-and-bonecrusher-official-images-374864) has been updated with full size official images of both modes. Still just CG images though, but comes with official promo blurbs, telling us the SS numbers of those three toys...

[GoktimusPrime]

Time to sell my ROTF Leader OP and Jetfire! :eek:

[Tober]

Interesting to see that this line is still going strong.

I will need to see Jetfire's SR-71 jet mode and combined mode before I commit to a purchase though.

C'mon RotF Studio Series Ravage! :cool:

[Handsprime]

Bonecrusher <3 <3 <3

[Autocon]

They couldnt have done the ss series without bonecrusher

Back at the London ComicCon (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/studio-series-long-haul-cogman-shatter-scrap-metal-and-rampage-revealed-at-mcm-london-comiccon/42306/), more Studio Series toys have been revealed in the display case - Constructicons Rampage, Longhaul and Scrapmetal, Shatter from the Bumblebee Movie, and Cogman (looks to just be a redeco of the TF5 toy).

[SharkyMcShark]

Oh my gosh these are looking incredible.

Edit: there's a grey prototype of something that looks like devaststor hanging around. This line will send me broke. It might surpass rotf/hftd as my favourite series.

[griffin]

Yep... the Hasbro panel revealed the rumoured Devastator, and a prototype.
http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/10/28/mcm-comic-con-london-transformers-studio-series-devastator-revealed-375425

And official images of the newer reveals...
http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/10/28/transformers-studio-series-shatter-cogman-scrapmetal-rampage-long-haul-official-images-375457

Very exciting.

[FruitBuyer]

Damn Studio Series is going full steam ahead. There is no stopping this hype train.

[UltraMarginal]

this is exciting!!

he Revenge of the Fallen Constructicons were a great update to the originals for the movie universe. (Devastator not so much) but the thought that these combine and are much more screen accurate in bot mode, and that theres' the entire team, which is something we've not yet seen outside of legends class, I'm pretty stoked for.

Bonecrusher and Megatron have finally received the larger figures they've always deserved as well.

My Dark of the moon optimus jetfire two pack is still sealed after all these years, I wonder if I should just sell the set and wait for the Studio Series versions. I just never got around to opening them. but still kind of want to experience the moulds. at least once.

That's eight Constructicons to form Devastator... and if Voyager Long Haul is just the right leg, this thing is going to be big. (the prototype looks a little small)

[philby]

will it have an articulated scrotum? that was the main focus of movie devastator.

[Galvatran]

will it have an articulated scrotum? that was the main focus of movie devastator.
That would raise the bar.

[Autocon]

Very interested in the devy combiner. They look great in both modes.

[AJ_Prime]

That would raise the bar.

I see what your did there ;)

[FruitBuyer]

That would raise the bar.

I doubt HasTak has the balls to do it.

Yeah since I already have a huge ROTF Deve I’m just going to pick up any Constructicons I don’t have like Scrapmetal. I was thinking of grabbing another Long Haul but the one I’ve already got is pretty sweet

[Galvatran]

I doubt HasTak has the balls to do it.
It would give TF fans a real lift.

[GoktimusPrime]

Aaaaand my Combiner Class Devastator just became utterly redundant. I might as well sell it now - won't get much for it, but that toy will become practically worthless after SS comes out (it was always a rather worthless rubbish toy, but soon even more so!)

do it now, complete ones are still selling for over $100 on ebay.

[SharkyMcShark]

I'll buy it for three fiddy? (*$3.50)

[Galvatran]

That Chilli Peppers song. :D

[SMHFConvoy]

Don't really care for the bayverse constructions but that longhaul... :)

[SharkyMcShark]

I have not been this excited for a mainline release in ages

https://www.facebook.com/DaimChocReports/posts/783149042035525

Dropkick looks INCREDIBLE. I love that there's barely any unused mass from the vehicle mode. No bulky backpack or anything. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Does look good, but since the character is a Triple-Changer I will be holding off in the vain hope they release a toy that does the same

[griffin]

Another leaked image from China (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/11/07/transformers-studio-series-ss-34-dark-of-the-moon-megatron-packaging-375998) confirms that DOTM Megatron is numbered 34, and will come with a little Igor figurine.

[SharkyMcShark]

Regarding the above list, there are persistent rumours floating about that SS-31 will be Dino/Mirage.

[Galvatran]

Regarding the above list, there are persistent rumours floating about that SS-31 will be Dino/Mirage.
I'm not entirely convinced. Could it be a cock up?

Official images from Amazon (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/12/11/additional-images-of-studio-series-ss-32-optimus-prime-ss-33-bonecrusher-ss-34-dark-of-the-moon-megatron-ss-35-jetfire-378649) of the next batch of larger sized Studio Series toys - SS-34 Leader DOTM Megatron, SS-32 Voyager Optimus, SS-35 Leader Jetfire, SS-33 Voyager Bonecrusher.

[griffin]

In-hand comparison images (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/12/21/transformers-studio-series-ss-32-optimus-prime-in-hand-images-379384) of the SS-32 Voyager Optimus with the SS-05 Voyager Optimus toy... showing the parts that have been redesigned (mostly the backpack kibble), and the tab holes added to have it combine with SS-35 Jetfire.


(I still don't know why SS-05 was packaged as ROTF Optimus, when this is the one that combines with Jetfire... and yet this one is going to be packaged as 2007 Movie Optimus.)

[griffin]

Early in-hand images (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/12/22/transformers-studio-series-ss-33-voyager-rampage-in-hand-images-379507) of SS-37 Voyager Rampage.


(it doesn't look like Rampage has any legs... which may be screen accurate, but will make it difficult to stand)

[griffin]

More images of Rampage (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/12/30/transformers-studio-series-ss-41-scrapmetal-ss-37-rampage-in-hand-images-379866), with fellow Constructicon Scrapmetal.

[Sinnertwin]

That DOTM Megatron is sublime.

I don't know why they insist on giving us more Bumblebee and Optimus toys though... yes, it's the movie, yada yada yada, but come. on.

[griffin]

Another leaked image from China (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/01/studio-series-ksi-boss-and-devastator-low-res-packaging-images-380003) confirms a set of 8 Constructicons in the Studio Series, to be released over the next two years.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2019/010201.jpg





Hightower (2019)
Rampage (2019)
Scrapmetal (2019)
Longhaul (2019)
Overload (2020)
Scrapper (2020)
Mixmaster (2020)
Scavenger (2020)




That's one more than the Legends combiner, and two more than the big combiner toy from 2009.

[Autocon]

Actually excited for this

[griffin]

One of the first Constructicons to be released will be Voyager Rampage, and an image of the toy in box has been found on ebay (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/02/02/transformers-studio-series-ss-37-voyager-revenge-of-the-fallen-rampage-in-package-images-382087)... so might be released soon, even though wave 5 Voyagers have only just been found globally (and we are still only on wave 2 in Australia - based on that poor release of Voyagers here, if you find affordable SS Voyagers online it is probably best to get them and not risk seeing if they ever show up here).


http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2019/020301.jpg


Based on the similar carpet in the photo, the Voyager Optimus from the Bumblebee Movie was also on ebay somewhere (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/02/02/transformers-studio-series-ss-38-bumblebee-movie-optimus-prime-packaging-images-382081).

[griffin]

Another leaked promo image of Devastator (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/02/28/new-image-studio-series-devastator-384239), confirming the size classes of the eight toys.

- SS-41 - Scrapmetal (Deluxe - power shovel)
- Hightower (Deluxe - demolition crane)
- SS-37 - Rampage (Voyager - bulldozer)
- SS-42 - Long Haul (Voyager - dumptruck)
- Mixmaster (Voyager - cement mixer)
- Scrapper (Voyager - earthmover)
- Overload (Leader - dumptruck)
- Scavenger (Leader - power shovel)

[SharkyMcShark]

I'm very much into it.

Rampage looks to be a slightly compromised figure, but Scrapmetal looks great.

I hope that we pick up distribution on the size classes above deluxe in Aus. As far as I'm aware we've still not had a release at voyager past wave 2.

Jetfire apparently has a few extra features that the Hasbro Instructions left off, which TakaraTomy have included in theirs. The instructions are on their website here (https://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/products-lineup/tf_ss/ss-26), but if/when that comes down, it is mirrored here (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/03/22/unadvertised-features-for-studio-series-jetfire-revealed-via-takara-tomy-online-instructions-385700).
