Here are some of my thoughts on the other reveals.
BB Rumble: Like the look of it, but seems a bit redundant.
Mohawk: Looks perfect. Way better than the 3rd party one I have and will replace it.
Wheeljack: Looks great but will need to get an upgrade kit for his guns sadly.
Scropnok: love this guy. Will need 2-3 at least.
GE Starscream: Did they not get a paint budget for this guy? The sculpt looks great but the cockpit is too big and he is very bland.
Scrapheap: Hate this. Just another figure to shelf warm with junkyard.
Megatron: Not a fan of this either. Looks very simple. hopefully he makes up for it in height.
Overall, I will still get all of them lol

Rumble: would prefer the design from the motion comic
Wheeljack: want
Scorponok: want
Megatron: those altmodes suck

- Mohawk, looks good but why? Who is asking for that best developed, deep and character arc driven character?
- Rumble, Yes, he's weird but Rumble's my fav g1 cartoon character so any version is good
- Starscream, he looks bad compared to the years old deluxe version. His chest looks way to big/dopey, they could've just upscaled and added detail/articulation. This is just money wasting
- Megatron looks sweet!
- I hope we get an Animated Optimus with faceplate soon, I like that better, otherwise I will get this one, only complaint is that the arms transform back and not to the sides like the original.
Bloody hell man, I'm a Transformers fan first, but also collect Masters of the Universe, Marvel, DC, Star Wars (I like Mission Fleet the best) Turtles, Gi Joe... the credits required for this hobby...

Me, I was asking for him! We need him to complete the Bay cast.
He was a pretty fun character in the movie, too! I would say he was certainly more developed than BB Megatron or Rumble who weren’t even in the movie xD

You know what I didn't ask for? That big swing and a miss triplechanger Megatron.
I'm also passing on all others, though I will say that Starscream's jet mode looks pretty good. Shame they totally botched the robot mode. Also I might pick up that Animated Prime if a corresponding leader Megatron ever gets released. Now THAT should be a triplechanging leader, like the planned release we never got 15 years ago.
Posted by Sowndwave76 on October 28th, 2023 @ 12:39pm CDT
But the others are all easy passes for me.
If he's released early it looks like SS86 Scrapheap will be the last figure I get for the year.

I was asking for him too and I think a bunch were to recreate that deccepticon crew in TLK. All I'm missing is a good dreadbot to recreate the team now.
Plus, Mohawk has an interesting design. I personally live bike formers for how sleek they can get (like animated Prowl, earthspark Thrash, ect)

The commentaries on each is below all the images.
“SS-109 Bumblebee Movie Concept Megatron
I am ecstatic to finally be able to share our Leader Scale Concept Megatron. We officially came across this oddity while sifting through the CAD files from the Bumblebee movie, and discovered a wonderful unused design for Megatron. Originally the story was going utilize Megatron being frozen in ice, to help bridge the continuity gap to the Bayverse films, but the scene was eventually dropped, and this design disappeared. Luckily for us, we thawed it out and I was thrilled to be part of the team to help bring this figure to life.
We got to work on a vehicle design for Megatron. Like the majority of the BB Cybertronian alt modes, we wanted to utilize details that were present on the bot form, but still prioritize maintaining the look that they had on screen without sacrificing them for fantasy alt modes. This strategy has had some mixed success, but each new figure feels like a welcome addition to the line. Knowing that theatrical Megatron arrived on earth as a cybetronian jet, and later a tank in the first two Bayverse films, I was split between what alt form was most appropriate, but aiming for a tripleformer seemed most appropriate. I enlisted @santalux75 to conceptualize some vehicle looks for each of the modes, which we were able to take inspiration from for the final design.
I was able to partner with Yuya Onishi at Takara, who worked his magic to deliver a truly uncompromised robot mode from what ever direction you look at it. The articulation for this figure is unmatched by any other Transformer that I’ve had the opportunity to work on you can see the love that went into making this definitive version of Megatron.
Megatron’s fusion cannon can be folded and stowed on the figures back, and can be positioned in a couple of different orientations between the two vehicle modes. The figure is packed full of a heritage deco scheme that was pulled directly from the concept art.”
“Hi Transformer fans!
I hope you all have been enjoying the Studio Series 2024 wave 1 reveals over at MCM London with @bmacatron84!
Next up for our Gamer Edition line is the WFC Starscream.
The figure comes courtesy of the marvelous Tomo san over at Takara Tomy.
Starscream comes equipped with his Null Ray and Energon mace, which were his starting load out on his levels. We’ve heard you all loud and clear and are making sure that all the WFC weapons going forward will also have a standard 5mm post so they can be held traditionally as well as being swapped on the arm.
I happen to have the older DLX TT figure for comparison and wanted to make sure everyone could see how we worked from the Game CAD.
Obviously, we enlarged the jet canopy slightly as that’s where the robot head and nose cone get stored during conversion.
He’s a very fun figure to play around with and I hope you all enjoy him as well!
Last thing to note is that his collar pieces are consumer assembled, so they come in the accessory tissue pouch. Just bringing it up so hopefully there isn’t any confusion when you open the box!
Hope you all have a great weekend~
-Evan”

Posted by -Kanrabat- on October 28th, 2023 @ 9:46pm CDT
Bee Megs look magnificent in all modes. Can't believes he's just a voyager.
Scorpy is disgusting. I want two.
Finally, Pablo look like the Mainline original, but with paint.
Posted by Sowndwave76 on October 28th, 2023 @ 10:47pm CDT
I'm still not opposed to waiting to see if I can get Scourge on sale, but there's something about this Megatron that I like.
So he is Voyager class?? If so, that makes him even more tempting.
I would like that Scorponok, but the violet color is a bit too saturated...
That should have been toned down, or a lighter gray/metallic.
That Gamer Starscream is an easy, easy pass.
Posted by Burn on October 29th, 2023 @ 12:47am CDT
Starscream is no different. In fact, I feel he's carrying on the tradition of making the previous versions look superior.
As for Rumble ... what the heck even is that alt mode? Is he supposed to be a brick to be picked up and thrown at the enemy? Or does he wait on the battlefield for someone to trip over him? Alt modes should have SOME practical function and I for the life of me cannot see what Rumble's is. (Not that a cassette was any more useful)
Posted by Razorbeast88 on October 29th, 2023 @ 12:48am CDT
Jet mode is.... well its a thing and it's there
But I like the tank mode and robot mode a lot. Very tempted to get this
Scorponok is a maybe
Mohawk is also a maybe, I feel like as a toy it's not the best; it looks all spindly and like it'll get wobbly really fast. But what a fun character to have. Hard to pass that up
Rumble is an easy pass for me, I like the 86 ones better
This Starscream sucks but that's better for my wallet, I already have 86 starscream and legacy Armada
Wheeljacks face looks gross

Like Ravage previously, this mode only serves to be carried around by Soundwave.
So, it's more like a "curl up and hold for dear life" kind of thing while having zero altmodes.

Oh? So that mean they will now do the open box thing for leaders then?
Make sense that Megs will be a leader with all these parts and no in-your-face hollows.

Yes this us very true for the Gamerverse figures, I don't know what's up with those.
Posted by cloudballoon on October 29th, 2023 @ 5:26pm CDT
The rest are pretty good overall except SSGE Starscream. There's just too little engineering improvement over the old DLX except size. Had high anticipation for the SSGE line but Hasbro killed it, only got OP & Meg, and both got major issues for me.
I said to myself I'm going all Yolopark AMK for ROTB. But I might get ROTB WJ on sale as an exception, 'cause I love that Pablo VW mode.

TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF6 BUNDLE 1
Product Number: D3411
TRA GEN STUDIO DLX 86 AND TF6 BUNDLE 1
Product Number: D3412
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX 86 BUNDLE
Product Number: D3413

These items are apparently meant for Walmart, and we have info on one of the packs (the TF2 one)
So it looks like Deluxe 2-packs! If I had to guess, the TLK one is likely the WWII Autobots
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on October 30th, 2023 @ 6:48am CDT
Mohawk looks great! At long last, we finally get another member of the Crew! Megatron, Barricade, Berserker, and Nitro Zeus will appreciate this tiny terror. I love the paint work on him too, he was a great model, glad to see it translated well. Now we just need Dreadbot (see another comment below) and Onslaught!
Rumble: wow, they really did make this one up didn't they? I will get him, but, yeesh.
Scorponok: He looks great! Love what they did with him. I will probably get 2 or 3. They will go great with my army of Freezers and Novakanes.
Wheeljack: he looks good! Funny thing is, I think the mainline toy actually did his design better, and didn't use a fake chest. But, based on the way the wings work and the chest being fake, I think they have a Dreadbot retool in mind. and I would be OK with that!
Junkion: I like the mold, but considering #2 is still shelfwarming, I'm not in a hurry for #3.
Megatron: we really got a concept art leader Megatron before a 2nd Dinobot. at least Megs is interesting, though I am not the biggest fan of the alt mode executions. Reminds me too much of Soundwave and his alt mode. Soundwave is legitimately the worst live action design and is down there with car Shatter, VW Bee, BB Cliffjumper, Topspin, WFC Megatron, and 86 Snarl as the worst SS toys. I get the idea behind Megs alt modes, and the inspiration from Animated Marauder Megatron is awesome, but the execution leaves much to be desired. I will still get him though.
EDIT: forgot about Starscream. He is OK, the only 2 issues I have are his feet feel too small, and his cockpit is too big. They really should've found a way to make that cockpit smaller, and at least give him longer toes.

If my guess is right, this could be a way to get the netflix Bee mold out again in a pack with B-127, movie VW or jeep bee. The other SS86/TF6 pack would probbaly be either Cliffjumper, Brawn or Arcee as the only ones I camn think of with deluxe figures from TF6 and SS86. I suppose a redecoed ER Wheeljack could be released under the SS86 name and fit as well.
I'm very curious to see what this might end up being.
Edit: On second thought I think versus type packs might be a bit too tough mainly because of the lack of deluxe cons to choose from, which makes me realize this might be a very autobot heavy assortment, even more than normal.

-TF6 Bundle 1: Shatter & Dropkick
-86 & TF6 Bundle 1: Arcee Evolution
-86 Bundle 1: Kup & Blurr
-TF6 Bundle 2: Two Random Autobots from Cybertron
-86 & TF6 Bundle 2: Bumblebee Evolution
-TF5 Bundle: either WWII Bee & Hot Rod or some character who'd probably get a repackaged toy like Barricade a la High Octane Bee.

Hound in the proper Earth Jeep mode and Suntreaker with no clear plastic for better yellow paint/plastic matching.
Hope that we can get a proper Bumblebee turns into a VW Bug. We've waiting long enough.

Agreed on all points.
Next question; these seem like they’d be exclusives.
But exclusives for which company, & when will these be released?

If the Black Friday rumor is true, then these would have to be repacks of some sort. I can't see any actual new figures make it this close to on shelves without being leaked.
This has me wondering, remember back in the Power Core Combiner days, Walmart literally shrink wrapped a larger set of the Scout Class bot and 4 drone limbs to a smaller Scout Class bot with armor/weapon mini-con? Those had their own bottom and unique barcode covering up the bar codes for the 2 individual packages.
I wonder if this will be something similar with 2 deluxe packages pretty much taped together with their own package back/bottom and unique barcode. Oddly enough, aside from TF2 Arcee who shelf warmed pretty bad in her day, all the other spots could be easily filled by bots that came out on 2022. It was weird checking the wiki, other than TF3 Bee, every other 2022 release could be in one of those bundles. SS86 Perceptor and Arcee probably aren't enough to fill out all the SS86 spots so likely some Kups and Blurrs will be mixed in, but I can see these being heavily slanted to 2022 when distribution was screwed up and previous shelf warmers if they are hitting stores for Black Friday.

There is no chance these include the target exclusive SS86 Hound
Posted by william-james88 on October 31st, 2023 @ 8:22am CDT
So this could be black friday two packs from last year which did not happen where Hasbro would have provided Walmart with a bunch of extra stock, like SS86 Arcee and Sideways, taped together with a new UPC sticker and sold at less than the retail of two toys.
This might be why not all TF fan sites have posted this news, as it might simply be old news that never came to be.
Posted by william-james88 on October 31st, 2023 @ 8:39am CDT
The big takeaway from fans so far has been the rubber-like cockpit. While some dislike the idea, others point out that it means it won't break like it would were it clear plastic. You'll let us know how you feel about the toy.
Posted by william-james88 on October 31st, 2023 @ 9:09am CDT
This is pretty big news on its own, since it seems Amazon Japan is reverting to its stance from years ago about disabling some foreign customers from ordering toys off their site. Right now it seems people in Europe and Australia can order SS 122 Optimus Prime (that's the code number for their release of ROTB Prime) but Americans see it as "not available" and the same can be said for MP Rhinox.
Back to Optimus Prime, if you do want to order it, the Japanese retailer Amiami still accepts preorders, and the toy is only $28 USD before shipping. Here is the link: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scod ... 0510&rank=
That link above is one of your last chances to get this toy at a reasonable price, and once it sells out all that will be left is him on e-bay for $80-$100
Posted by Quantum Surge on October 31st, 2023 @ 9:48am CDT
Also that rubber cockpit isn't going to make things any better. Outside of it sounding wrong to say I doubt it'd be any more durable than clear plastic tends to be.
Posted by Sabrblade on October 31st, 2023 @ 10:16am CDT
It's not that the cockpit is made of rubber, it's that it's simply too large, making it look bulbous.
Posted by Grahf_ on October 31st, 2023 @ 12:00pm CDT
And great, the cockpit won't break...like all the other cockpits as it's been a long time since I seen one with translucent plastic actually break. But now it's likely to disintegrate instead. Or melt. Or crack due to getting dry. Snag on something and rip. There's actually more stuff that can happen to that cockpit now instead.
