New Images of Transformers Studio Series 2019 Wave 1 Figures

Everything look pretty good! appart Megatron. What a blocky mess.

Howcome every time I see that jet Prime, the configuration looks slightly different?

Jetfire looks to be just as messy on the underside as the original ROTF Leader figure and the combo isn't really much more accurate (also, way to forget the BFG again photographers!). But at least Jetfire's robot mode is cleaner. Face paint could use a bit of work though, too big a splash of silver.

Oh man, Megatron looks great! Can’t wait to pick him up. Kinda disappointed with Jetfire’s alt mode, I love the SR-71 and I understand that there’ll be some kibble with a figure like this, but his beard sticking out from the jet really doesn’t look good.

Edit: It’s hard to tell, but it looks like Clunker Bee’s hood/windshield assembly has a pin through it now! Glad they did fix it if they did, because SS Bee really is a great figure.

Might have to pick up that sideswipe, I always liked him in the films.

So far I'm really liking what this wave is going to be like. WWII Bee is probably going to end up being my Generations version of Bulkhead just because of the color and my lack of a Bulkhead for that display. But now I understand why Megs had his cloak in the movies. That face is ugly... Hope DNA Designs puts out a set for him with a better cloak and head mold, but if they don't I'm fine with using the stock head and covering it with the cloak

That face is supposed to be hideous, remember? It was like that in the movie, because he was recovering from Optimus blasting half his face off in the final battle of the last one

I like all these. Megatron's detail and sculpt work looks nice. Yeah he looks a bit blocky overall but not too much to put me off (unlike most of Siege where it's blocky and then just overly detailed for the sake of being overly detailed) and I like that head sculpt and the truck is nice. Overall I far prefer it over the 2011 voyager.

I think the bumper parts of Barricade's chest have been shown to tilt angled in other photos but they're straight here so hoping that's just been missed out by whomever transformed him.

Jetfire's jet mode does show whiskers for some reason but eh it's fine I guess, the robot mode is what I'm wanting though which is a huge improvement over the RotF figure.

Sideswipe is nice. Still would prefer it to be his roofed RotF car mode though.

Clunker Bee annoys me in that they STILL haven't painted his shoulders properly but hey that's fine I corrected it on my SS01 version anyways. Don't need this one.

Not massively fussed by WWII Bee if I'm honest. Probably one I'll get if I can find it cheaper than normal. I prefer the third party one that's based on the actual car he turns into in the movie.

Optimus just looks lovely but again will need Toyhax stickers and a bit of paint like I did with my first release.

I gotta admit I like that Megatron. He isn't much of an iconic Megatron in either robot or vehicle mode (design wise) but he is a fantastic villainous design. I think I will get him and use him as a different character. Love the Mad Max truck, the hood and Igor I'd a great touch!

I really like Megatron. While this design has very little to do with what I typically associate with a Megatron design in either mode, the design itself is fantastic with the mad max truck, the hood and the Igor. I am tempted to get him as a different character for mysteries:)

I can't wait to get these guys. Megs looks awesome, and I really look forward to combining Jetfire and Prime. Bonecrusher is a given cause he's my favorite movie con, and I have been looking forward to him so badly

So i picked up this guy on the way home from work today



Gonna come right out and say it: He is not very good. I think a majority of his problems would be solved if they did his muscle car form. This chopper mode, it just doesn't work. It's really fiddly and has a lot of clear plastic parts. and it's nowhere near dark blue enough. The arms don't looks really good, I'm not a fan of how wide his crotch is, and his posability is limited in ways I don't really like either.

To keep this coptor mode, he needed to be like 15-20% larger, have no clear plastic, and have some better arms. I really hope they do his muscle car form so we get that mode and give him some justice.

Thanks to TonTon Reviews on Youtube and a heads up from Seibertronian What's Crackin'?, we have a pair of nice video reviews for the upcoming Transformers Studio Series deluxe class Barricade and Sideswipe!

Starting with Barricade, we have a nice look at the figure that utilizes some of the transformation tricks his MPM self had, and we also see that his chest is mostly real car parts in robot mode, with only the center moving out of the way to allow for the angry chest slant. He is also unique in that he is a Barricade figure that ends up with the hood as the outside piece of his back complete with a bumper-butt.

Up next, we have a nice look at Sideswipe, based on his Dark of the Moon form. The toy switches back to having the movie accurate rear end of the car become the chest (something the Dark of the Moon deluxe did not do), and he comes with a pair of blasters and a fair of detachable swords that peg into his hands. He is also the first Sideswipe figure to actually have the sides of his chest (the rear fenders and tail lights) slant in in a movie accurate style.

Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Nice reviews. It why ss barricade when masterpiece barricade in $45 on Amazon

Thanks for the news credit! I didn't even notice the sideswipe figure review!

did anyone else notice that the guy in the reviews would start breathing real heavy? I hope he's okay.

Found that review while Watching Barricades! Just added it to the story! Both look pretty decent. Will probably get both

New Deluxe Class Studio Series #28 Transformers 2007 Barricade and Deluxe Class Studio Series #29 Dark Of The Moon Sideswipe in-hand pics have surfaced by Weibo user NOTRAB. We have mirrored the images below, and the original gallery can be found on NOTRAB's wall.






































These are due to hit mass retail early next year along with Voyager Class 2007 Movie Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher and Leader Class Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire, Leader Class Dark of the Moon Megatron.

Have you ordered yours yet, waiting to catch one in the wild at retail or have something else to say about the Studio Series line? Join in the discussion at the Engergon Pub forums!

:edit: Combined into one post.

I'm amazed at the rate these releases are coming at, really. Sometimes the wait between Generations figures feels like an age, yet these feel like a pretty steady beat.

Man, these look great, I cannot wait for these two, gold-bar though...

I mean, I guess it could work for SS if I take his ROTF toy head and put it on this body. I thought they were going for more of a high quality paint and scale standard for this Studio Series line. For the most part they're great, but when I see lacking qualities on the face especially, it bothers me. Like with Movie 1 Ratchet's face.

Was there supposed to be a quote in there?

I think he's talking about Sideswipe

I didn't want to want that Sideswipe, but wow he looks good here!

They both continue to look pretty good. I love the silver on Sideswipe, it's beautiful and will go well with Jazz

I just realized, that with a nice shade of blue paint, maybe a new head, that Sideswipe's mold could work for a movie Blurr. The tire wheels kind of remind me of Animated Blurr

Looking forward to the next batch of Voyagers for the Transformers Studio Series? Well thanks to a helpful tip off from fellow Seibertron user, What's Crackin?, we've learned that YouTuber Ton Ton Review has uploaded a review of #33 2007 Movie Bonecrusher!

Also at the start of the video during the vehicle size comparisons you can see the new Studio Series #32 2007 Movie Optimus Prime in his Truck mode. You can see that Optimus is much brighter than the original SS Optimus Prime and has some real nice silver paint. His gun also stores in the back, instead of on the side like an image once showed. The windows are also much more clear than the Rotf figure. You can see prime at 2:01

Please check out TonTon's review below!



What do you think of this long awaited bigger take on Bonecrusher? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I wish the hips weren't so far apart and he was taller, but otherwise, he's looking great! My most anticipated SS figure of next year

oh man, the audio on the video is so weird. it's like, you can hear every single scrape of plastic-on-table, every click of joints, and even the traffic outside his house it seems. aw well, that's what the mute button's for i guess.

Well those reviews just continue to prove that I'm getting Sideswipe and Bonecrusher, and Barricade continues to get more and more appealing. My only deterrence is still how much I dislike his original face design. If Siege Barricade is ever properly shown off and is as low effort as it seems like he'll be, then I'll probably grab this Barry over that one, but until then, I'm undecided.

In other news, I don't remember if this was discussed on this thread yet or not, but since further proof of it's credibility just showed up today, I'm putting this here:
I feel like a lot of talk about the DotM Prime happened when this showed up, but I don't think anyone said anything about the Voyager listings. KSI Boss seems like he'd obviously be a Nitro Zeus repaint/retool, given the previous usage of that name/designation. The "Hero" has me curious though, since it's both super nondescript and comes out earlier than all the other SS figures on the list. What Movie Autobots have we yet to get that would be Voyager-class? This figure could be the missing Hasbro number 31 or 38 if their Takara and Hasbro release times are similar enough.

At this time, the closest Autobot Voyager I think we have to get would be Sentinel Prime, but, blah. I hate that character, legitimately hate.

I think that's it. We got a good Hound in TLK and they seem to be grouping TLK figures into the line as representations for the 4th and 5th movie cast. So Sentinel really is the only Autobot I could think of.

Unless they are making a Canopy figure. But that would surprise me.

Most of the Autobot choices that could be made would be deluxe class: WWII Hot Rod, Jolt, the Wreckers, Mudflap and Skids, Que, and Dino.

Leadfoot could be a voyager? Just thinking in terms of mass, that stomach and the parts to make it could take up a voyager price point. Or maybe a new mold for a dinobot? Or possibly Bulldog/WWI Tank from TLK?

An idea... Couldn't this "hero" be bumblebee movie version of Optimus Prime?

Except we didn't get a good Hound during TLK. A reminder of what his TLK toy was like. Missing the upper back of his truck mode, most of the front of his truck mode is hanging wholesale to the backs of his legs, and there's no triple Gatling gun. The Movie The Best version fixed the third issue and somewhat fixed the first, but that was Takara only and it could be better. And they did an enhanced TLK Drift so why not a better TLK Hound?

Also, the Studio Series hasn't done Evasion-mode Optimus yet, or his AoE "Upgrade" body. And Evasin-mode Optimus needs a correct toy that's non-exclusive and available at US retail.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Also, the Studio Series hasn't done Evasion-mode Optimus yet, or his AoE "Upgrade" body.

That AOE "Upgrade" body got a Voyager toy in TLK.

Thanks for the news credit! I can't wait to purchase this guy.

Yes, but Studio Series toyline =/= TLK toyline. So a Studio Series toy of it, whether a new mold or (more likely) just a deco tweak of the existing one, is still a possible release. It's not a release I'm especially hopeful for, but it could happen. Best-case scenario if it did happen would be it having retooled forearms to actually match Optimus' Battle of Hong Kong-onward appearance. The TLK Voyager actually has the arms of the intermediate upgrade body from before he retrieved the Sword of Judgement.

Thanks to a tip off from fellow Seibertron user, What's Crackin?, we've learned that YouTuber TonTon Reviews has reviewed another forthcoming Studio Series voyager class toy, this time it's #32 2007 Movie version Optimus Prime! This toy is a redeco and a retool of the Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime that released as part of wave 1. You can see that the new Optimus Prime is bigger than the previous release. You can see this and more differences between the two figures in this new review, including several comparisons.

Remember, it's this version of Optimus Prime that combines with the soon to be released Leader Class Jetfire.

We've embedded the video here for your convenience:



Does this change your mind about this figure? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

He is taller than SS-05! I’m waiting for the rumored DOTM Optimus, but if that doesn’t pan out I’m totally ok with this one.

Given recent leaks, I'm inclined to believe it but we'll have to wait and see.

Nice. Really didn't expect him to be taller this time. The size on the first one didn't bother me much until Ironhide came out and made him look too small so this new one's height increase is welcome. I like that you can see the truck window visor parts peeking at top of the chest windows now which you couldn't on the old one. Think the only area the figure got downgraded is that the piece on the lower legs which folded down over the remaining lower wheels no longer does. Other than that it's a huge improvement.




Swipey, Barry and Boney all look great too. Gonna be spending a fair chunk of money start of 2019 it seems.

Prime is a huge improvement. Taller, proportions look better, colors look better...I might actually pick this version up.

Bonecrusher is still a disappointment though. He already only comes up to the first SS Prime's belly, he's going to look even shorter next to the second version.

That Bonecrusher review... man, that battle of Prime and Boney from the 2007 movie still looks far better than anything I saw in the new Bumblebee film today. Bonecrusher figure size looks decent to me too. If you want bigger though there is a third party one that's pretty huge. This Studio Series version looks fine to me and will be bought with the rest of this wave.

So far, I haven't bought a single SS deluxe. Maybe because I keep my TF purchases to a minimum and/or it really bum me out to buy "ordinary movie deluxes" at 30$.

Do they not have them on reduced price anywhere there? I bought most of mine for typical RRP (and in a few cases more including Jazz and Lockdown at £30 each when the RRP is £23, just so I could have them a bit earlier) but The Entertainer here in the UK has been selling wave 1 and 2 Deluxes for about £16 each. Is how I got Stinger recently (and liked it way more than I thought I would).

The only one that I would be willing to pay for, but at 50% off, is SS Jazz. And he was just like a drop of water in a hot pan localy. And no way am I gonna pay full price nor ordering it online. I still feel the burn from that 55$ TLK Cogman (still available everywhere like roaches at 15$)

55 dollars? How did that happen? Mine didn't cost anywhere near that much and I got it early. :O

The Entertainer in Cambridge literally does have SS Jazz in for £16.80. They had at least two of them that I could see on the shelves (I was looking for Crowbar at that price but he's gone). They still have it on the website at https://www.thetoyshop.com/action-toys- ... 4611_E0745 but I guess that doesn't help you at all. Oh well, i hope you get lucky.

Carnivius_Prime wrote:55 dollars? How did that happen? Mine didn't cost anywhere near that much and I got it early. :O

I talk in Canadian dollars but still. Cogman just refused to come out and he was rumored to be a rare "tail-line" figure. One that will barely appear in store before being gone forever. It happened a bit too often in the past. Because TLK Cogman was the only TLK deluxe I really cared about, I didn't took any chances and I ordered it from China. 55$CAN was the total price including shipping. It was the best price available back then.

Oh and before that, I was in an hurry to have the DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime. I imported it from the USA at almost 140$CAN with shipping. Then just 2 or 3 months later, the damn thing was priced 80$CAN plus taxes everywhere and he even went on clearance at 50$CAN.

Seriously, I'm done ordering ANY Movie figures online. Seem that I ALWAYS get screwed over every times that I do. Appart DOTM Guzzle, Movie figures always land in stores and always get dirt cheap eventually. Plus I know that I'll have another shot at Jazz because he'll be included in the next wave of SS deluxes. And even then, I'll wait for a sale.

I began to seriously collect at the HFTD times. So I din't knew about ROTF Lockdown. So he was a "drop of water in a hot pan" too? One more to the list.

What is frustrating is we can never know what will be the nest ephemeral store shelf transformers.
