He notes that they did want to do some reveals, but given the limited time, the Legacy reveals, and the Hall of Fame announcements left no time for those reveals. This is good news, as the first of the new wave just leaked out around the same time, so hopefully Hasbro gets to do some reveals before the leaks come out.
He also hints at other reveals to come in October as well, so stay tuned for additional reveals in addition to the next Studio Series wave.

Same here, just got the email. I really hate their pre-order system where if they get something late they punish the customers. They canceled a Masters of the Universe exclusive pre-order at the same time, but those are pretty easy to come by in store so I'm not to concerned, but Prime is going to be a tough one to get. If Tow-Line was gone in a couple days then I really don't stand a chance with Prime being restocked I feel. Never saw the SS86 Autobot 2 pack either.

Yep! Really excited to see how he turns out. Glad they're finally tackling the TLK Decepticon team!
As for our tournament, the finale is almost here! Are you team Warpath or team Springer?
Warpath narrowly defeated Transit with 53% of the vote, and Springer beat Shockwave with a little bit more of a lead with 55%

I didn't vote for either of these guys through the whole tournament. Going to have to vote for which one I dislike least.

DOTM Warpath kept his top spot from the rankings and took 57% of the finale vote, becoming this year's Studio Series September champion! For everyone who voted for him, what would you like to see if he was to get a Studio Series figure? Voyager or Leader Class? Would he include a ROTF claw accessory that could work with DOTM Megatron to recreate his game appearance?
Here's a little bit of a summary of this year's tournament:
A big thank you to everyone who voted and participated this year! You all make this a fun event to run!

I'm still shocked Longarm didn't make it out of the first round. I love that toy, and would love an update.
Also the cheeky reference on him is excellent.

An update would be really cool! I don’t think I knew about that reference, I have the screen battles version that says “Mike’s Towing” instead!

Thank you! Bonecrusher is a great design, I ended up appreciating it even more after looking through all the reference images!

Great work on the paint with Bonecrusher, EvasioModeBumblebee!I like how clean detail turned out.

Hound is not really hound. Starscream could have an entire different name and we wouldn't know that's supposed to be Starscream. Wheeljack in ROTB could be named Skids for all it's worth. ROTB Scourge have more to do with RiD than G1. All the Megatrons could have been their own original characters with their own name. Only in the intro of the Bee movie that the names match the bots. In all other instances, appart Optimus Prime, all the others could have been named something else and we would have never noticed. Even Bumblebee.
I disagree with this view, that the character is false if the name usage doesn't match the G1 version;
Hasbro has to reuse names because of trademark stuff,why not do something cool with it?
The reuse of names gave us these character below
-Beast Wars Inferno
-2001 Rid Scourge
-Armada Wheeljack
-Movie Barricade
-Animated Prowl
And sometimes we get someone like Rise of The Beasts Scourge, that is mix of various aspects of the previous versions.
The reuse of names open the door to more possibilites to be explored.

That still proves my point.
All these name-swaps could be attributed to anyone.
Bumblebee in the Bayverse could have been named Waspinator and it could have worked.
Now I want a green and yellow repaint of a BayBee toy into Waspinator.

I agree, it's cool when they're flexible with the characters that carry a name.

Same, otherwise it's like saying that every person called Paul has to be exactly the same...An argument taken to the extreme I know but you get the point. We shouldn't get hung up on characters reusing G1 names

They started doing it right after G1 and it's been over 3 decades already since G1's finale.

On top of my mind, I don't think so.
So, it would be after G2 that names began to jump around. Unless it would count for Lazer Optimus and Tank Megatron, who had different shapes.
Posted by Sabrblade on October 8th, 2023 @ 8:48am CDT
There were lots of instances in G2. The name "Afterburner", for example, was originally an Autobot Technobot in G1, but in G2 was instead the name of a Decepticon Skyscorcher.-Kanrabat- wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Same, otherwise it's like saying that every person called Paul has to be exactly the same...An argument taken to the extreme I know but you get the point.

And then there's probably the most famous name-reuse in G2, "Sureshot". In G1, the name belonged to an Autobot Targetmaster. In G2, he was Optimus Prime in all but name.

There was a few name reuses for new characters in G2. G2 Ransack is not the same character as the G1 Deluxe Insecticon. G2 Smokescreen is unrelated to the G1 Autobot car and likewise Dreadwing isn't related to G1 Dreadwind and Darkwing. G2 Roadblock is unrelated to the G1 Pretender. And European G2 Sureshot (Hero Optimus Prime) is unrelated to the G1 Targetmaster.
Incidentally, Laser Prime wasn't meant to be the counter to the green tank Megatron, he was meant to be pitted against his '95 counterpart.
(Edit)Oops, missed Afterburner.
