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

A convention on in the UK at the moment had a display by Hasbro that included two new Studio Series toys - 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 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 that the Studio Series Constructicons could be designed to combine into Devastator.

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

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.

Meanwhile, over in Paris, 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, 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).

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 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...

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.

Back at the London ComicCon, 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).

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.

Yep... the Hasbro panel revealed the rumoured Devastator, and a prototype.

29th October 2018, 05:00 PM

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)

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

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!)

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

Another leaked image from China confirms that DOTM Megatron is numbered 34, and will come with a little Igor figurine.
