SS-43 Voyager Class Age Of Extinction KSI Boss – It’s clearly a repaint (and possible remold) of the The Last Knight Nitro Zeus mold.

SS-44 Leader Class Dark Of The Moon Jetwing Optimus Prime – An impressive reuse of what seems to be SS-32 Voyager Optimus Prime with several extra parts and wings to recreate his flying mode as seen in the movie.

SS-45 Deluxe Class SS-45 Age Of Extinction Drift (Helicopter) – We can identify him as an extensive remold of the SS-22 Deluxe Dropkick mold.

SS-47 Deluxe Class Revenge Of The Fallen Hightower – Finally, our first Deluxe mold of one of the live-action movies Constructicons which didn’t have much screening time and formed part of Devastator’s arm.

Interesting stuff. Drift and the Constructicon Im into. Prime I can pass on. I bought NZ for 5 bucks over Christmas and this doesn't bring anything new or exciting to the table.

Edit: Drift is a retool of SS Dropkick - they have the same lower legs.

Very clever. I like it.

So ready for that Prime, defs skipping the single version (SS32).

Rest looks so good, but probably don't need KSI Boss... (he says now lol)

After seeing Hightower’s robot mode, for the first time I’m glad he didn’t get named Hook in the movies :eek::p

At this stage I’ll only be getting Movieverse figures of characters that never really got a proper toy before, so like some of the Constructicons, Dio etc

Hightower is going to be so small as he is a deluxe.:(

Meanwhile, until recently, SS-31 was still unknown, but will be a battle damaged version of the SS-13 Voyager Megatron (new damaged head).... and official images have now appeared on Canadian ToysRUs website. (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-images-for-exclusive-studio-series-battle-damaged-megatron-from-toysrus-listing/43020/)

Since we are now seeing SS numbers released globally that are above SS-31, it is leading people to think that the battle damage Megatron might end up being a store exclusive (like at ToysRUs, for countries that still have one).

Okay.... SS-31 has now appeared as a Target exclusive in America for US$30 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/03/13/studio-series-ss-31-battle-damaged-megatron-revealed-as-a-target-exclusive-in-the-us-384854), which supports the suspicion that it was a store exclusive (because later numbers were already out at retail).
Unfortunately for us, any item that is not in the regular series, is less likely to appear here... if Hasbro Australia can't find a retailer interested in taking on the exclusive one-off item.

And now found at a Target store in America (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/03/20/studio-series-battle-damaged-megatron-sighted-at-us-retail-385658).
