These all look kinda great. I had worried that Mixmaster would be a bit over-simplified, but that figure looks great.

Shockwave looks like a crumpled up piece of paper;) And what is up with Mixmasters third rear wheel?

So we had six new reveals from a Canadian Fan Expo yesterday, with a presentation first (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/08/23/fan-expo-canada-new-studio-series-reveals-transformers-2007-megatron-dark-of-the-moon-shockwave-and-contructicons-mixmasters-and-scavenger-395199), then the toys were put out for public display (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/08/23/fan-expo-canada-new-transformers-generations-siege-and-studio-series-on-display-395250), and then Hasbro released the official images through their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pg/transformers/posts/?ref=page_internal) and to some online retailers for pre-orders (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/08/23/hasbro-new-official-images-studio-series-and-generations-selects-from-canada-fan-expo-395219).

Four of the six are for Studio Series...
SS-53 - TF2 VOY Mixmaster
SS-54 - TF1 VOY Megatron
SS-55 - TF2 LEAD Scavenger
SS-56 - TF3 LEAD Shockwave with figurines of Wheelie, Brains and a NEST para-trooper.

The Studio Series toys are noted as "wave 1" and have an official release date of January 1st in America (some online stores have them noted as March).

Just hope we can get a Demolisher redeco as well

We get Brains and Wheelie....before we get a tiny Frenzy to finish off the '07 Cast. That's a little bit shit.

The official product photos were posted on TFW2005, (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/08/23/hasbro-new-official-images-studio-series-and-generations-selects-from-canada-fan-expo-395219) which include larger versions of the Studio Series product photos as well as images of the two Selects figures.


Shockwave looks like a crumpled up piece of paper;) And what is up with Mixmasters third rear wheel?

The third wheel is screen-accurate. (http://www.imcdb.org/i252126.jpg) Here are better photos of the truck. (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mixmasters-post-rotf-job.1105157/)

Interestingly, Mixmaster appears to be a licensed Mack product, like DotM Megatron - if you look at the render, (https://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Studio-Series-Mixmaster-02.jpg) you can make out Mack badging on the grille and the bottom of the door. The licensing deal would mean Hasbro could make Mixmaster's cement mixer truck more screen-accurate than the generic vehicles the other Constructicons to date have been.

Shockwave will only look good if he can bring home THAT paintjob he has on the show floor, which I highly doubt.

Same for this new megatron but if he did he'd show up the MPM (well he does need something he lacks highlights, the ss I mean)

What I'd like to see is a better official image of Shockwave's alt. mode rather than that image taken from a less revealing angle.

I thought the original Voyager was licensed? I had a feeling it had the logo on the box but could easily be wrong

Yeah.

I'm certainly not against the movie style Cybertronian alt modes but there's a fairly harsh divide between the ones that are well done (TLK Voyager Megatron, TLK Leader Megatron, ROTF Deluxe Soundwave, HFTD Voyager The Fallen) and the ones that are blatantly just a robot sitting down.

Looks like they kept the nice paint deco tho (or at least more than with ROTF Megs)

Some in-hand images of the soon-to-be-released Mixmaster (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/10/21/studio-series-ss-53-mixmaster-in-hand-and-studio-series-devastator-head-revealed-398686), which has to hide the large Devastator head inside both robot mode and vehicle mode.
