Leaked Kingdom & SS86 toy images

Whos the dinosaur that is a weaponiser on the back of warpath? Cant be dinobot. Transmutate?

I think it's a new character. Each part of WFC has had it's own partsforming power up characters.

The first War for Cybertron year got 'Weaponisers', the second (and current) year got the 'Modulators', next year we get the 'Fossilisers', which are all these skeletal creatures that break down to form bony armour add ons for the bigger characters. As such, it's likely to be a made up, or tertiary level, Beast Wars character.

Apparently this one's called Paleotrex as seen in the leaks

Larger images of what is claimed to be Studio Series Kup and Hotrod.

That Hot Rod has a fake chest and I'm going to repeat a comment that got disdainful responses at least four times on TFW - thats not good enough. It makes the figure an instant non purchase.

I didn't even notice, but also I don't care as faux parts are fine in my book. ¯\_(?)_/¯

So this is 2 Leaks now, 1 Kup.

For some. And that’s cool.

But most aren’t bothered by it.

I disagree for Hot Rod's chest. They're just different shapes, you can either make it look accurate or real but not both. If they can still make a creative transformation, I'm fine with it.

I respect your decision not to buy it, but I would like to point out this wouldn't be a first for Studio Series using fake vehicle parts on bot modes for screen accuracy. They've done it with live action designs, so I don't see why G1 would be any different.

That said, I'm gonna be annoyed if we do start getting G1 stuff in Studio Series. From the '86 figures I've seen in Earthrise and now the SS leaks I'm genuinely wondering what is the difference between the two lines now? Can't we just let the live action movieverse have its own thing? Not like G1 doesn't get enough representation as it is.

The scuttlebutt is that it's to extend Studio Series to the next live action film. Also isn't next year a big anniversary year for the '86 movie?
