Studio Series Gamer Edition announced

[Handsprime]

I swear I read somewhere they were planning on bringing the drones from the live action movie games into the studio series toyline. Hope that means we can get some new Swindle toys.

Definitely not pretty designs. Especially Barricade. Reminds me of those kiddy RID Transformers.

Really excited to get that Optimus.

The original is one of my favourite figures, but I felt it was perhaps hamstrung by being done at too small a scale.

[JJJ]

Ah, damn it...

I've been studiously ignoring the WFC listings for some time now, because hey, less money to spend. And then I see that Barricade. Up until now, I've not wanted any Barricade (because Bayverse really doesn't agree with me, and I don't care for an evil re-colour of Prowl). But this one... This one could work for me, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any move to produce a deluxe based on the evergreen design.

[SharkyMcShark]

The only thing that concerns me about this is the lack of ankle tilts on the deluxe figures (BB and Barricade). That has been part of the common design language for most retail releases deluxe class and above since the beginning of Siege.

[DELTAprime]

They look great, but I guess it's an easy skip for me since I'm not really into non-G1 figures right now.
