New Stock Images for 2020 Studio Series Figures and Video Review for Mixmaster

Jus want to thank for the video., But it's a poor video when he don't show Mixmaster transforms into Devastator head.. the video jus skips straight to showing his face an not how it transform... I like the figure..hell I'm gonna buy two for my display, one to combine with Devastator an the other because he got killed by Jetfire in the movie. I appreciate the post.

One of the Has/Tak transformers you know they will never make ideas I suggested was the Green Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive...it could be a possibility now o.O will just need to find a dispensor to go with him or the toyhax labels and a spare TR cassette bot.

Am I the only one who is amused at how short Mixmaster is compared to the other Constructicons? The video makes him look like he’s just as tall as “Ze Little One”.

Bumblebee’s still looking great in these new stock photos! The render on the box is super cool looking, it’s actually a tweaked version of one of the ROTF renders.

I just noticed that Soundwave also has some molded detail inside the folding headlight pieces to help show some more of the speakers from the CGI model, so that’s cool!

As much as I like the slow teases, I am ready to see Devastator in full form dammit! I am ready to see the king!

Fun fact in the actual movie Mixamaster is shorter then Scrapmetal, so this is accurate to the movie scale.

Which makes Scaple's orders either disobeyed or a continuity error

Wow are those Arcee, chromia, elita 1 like legion class?

A 3-pack of small figures sold at the Deluxe pricepoint, like how Jazz was tiny for a Deluxe.

Snagged this guy from my buddy Megatronus from the podcast this weekend!

And having now opened him and started to mess with him, how the hell is it possible that the $30 Studio series figure is better than the $100 MP???

Glad you’re liking him! Yeah, I think it looks better than the MPM too. Currently up there for my favorite Studio Series figure and one of my favorite figures in general!

It isn't even fair! the Studio guy has such a better torso! everything tabs in, the arms don't disturb things, everything stays in place and it doesn't look like the back of his shoulders are underbulked, no extra kibble on the arms, it's amazing how good the studio one is!

Glad I finally decided to get him. He is fantastic

Hearing that makes me realize why MPM Ironhide's $50 on BBTS right now

locking shoulders lol.... I'm in the same boat... had originally skipped the voyager because I didn't like their lack of doing *anything* with the front bumper... but after being "less than thrilled" with the MP... my local target stocked him again, and decided "screw it" I've basically got the cast @ SS and MP size (which I was originally trying to prevent... (oops).

So after studying the Devastator display, I think I figured out how his entire upper body is supposed to look:

-Scavenger's bottom wheel (the one that splits in two) is supposed to go on the side of his head, each half replicating those tubes he has on his shoulder.

-Mixmaster's arms/cement barrel connects to the barrel piece that goes behind Devastator's head.

-Scavenger's other wheel folds down on his back, replicating his Vortex grinder.

Now I wish we could have seen that

As the year begins to come to an end, we'll no doubt get more news and images coming in of new and upcoming figures. Thanks to Instagram user Capcomkai, we've got images of the upcoming Wave 8 Deluxe figures of Chromia, Arcee and Elita-1 three-pack, 2007 Camaro Bumblebee, WWII Hot Rod, and Soundwave with Laserbeak in their packaging! While the bike sisters are sold together as a Deluxe Class figure, they're all roughly Legends Class sized, and include stands so their unique robot modes can stand on their own. This is also, notably, the first time Elita-1 will be represented in toy form with her own screen and vehicle accurate robot modes- all her previous toys were recolors of either Chromia or Arcee. 2007 Camaro Bumblebee is a brand new mold with a permanently affixed battle mask head sculpt. WWII Hot Rod is a retool of WWII Bumblebee (with corresponding shellformer backpack), and Soundwave is also a new mold, transforming into a screen accurate robot and Mercedes SLS AMG vehicle mode, with very nice silver paint.










Are you excited for these figures? Let us know what you think below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for all your Transformers news!

This guy is a buy on sight. He'll make a great "mini me" to the Movie the Best figure

I'm also very excited to finally get a movie Laserbeak, which will go directly to big papa movie the best Soundwave. Can I just say that "movie the best" is never not funny

I'm pretty excited for this wave of deluxes!

Also, I was rereading the posts after the Devastator pictures, and despite the mistransformations and the fact that there is so much prototype still in there, there was no negativity about it, which was super refreshing!

idk about that three-pack. Does anyone know if they all combine?

joevill wrote:idk about that three-pack. Does anyone know if they all combine?

They do not. They are essentially 3 legion class figures in a deluxe package

I feel very negative towards Devastator at the moment, but that's only because I'm now on my fourth defective Rampage.

I dunno, but if they're doing this rather than zapping me with lightning or whatever, they're kind of childish. ...So it could be at least half the Greek pantheon.

I'm looking forward to getting Hot Rod, but otherwise the rest are a pass. I was excited about Soundwave at first, but the new shots are turning me off. His arms seem...too big and ape-like. Maybe having him in-hand will change my mind.

He's a pretty armey boi in the film which is why I think they went with that.

But yeah SS Soundwave is a little disappointing to see

Still not thrilled about Bee's mask being permanently down, but the mold does look good. Also, I don't know why, but whenever I see Soundwave's head from DOTM, it reminds me of TR Thunderwing

Joevill was probably referring to the original concept, where all 3 would combine into a Demolishor-styled bot but with 3 sets of wheels.

It received some work in rough models and if the 3rd actual original cycle sister mold had been released in RotF those 3 deluxes would have combined too

That’d be something cool for a third party to pick up on!

I do wish they had gotten the chest on SS Soundwave to compress more, but I still think he looks pretty good. I’ll need to be adding some light blue paint to those speakers ASAP.

Edit: Something kinda unlikely that I’d really like to see is Overload coming with a tiny Simmons figure. I think that’d complete Devastator!

So I just watched ROTF again, and loved it like always, and it really got me thinking about what figures we need to complete the cast. Here is my list of figures that I think we need from ROTF.

-The Fallen, Leader class (face needs to pop off)
-Skids and Mudflap, legends class (two pack for deluxe price)
-Soundwave and ravage, deluxe class with a small ravage figure
-Demolisher, leader class (white repaint of scavenger)
-Skipjack, voyager class (yellow repaint of rampage)
-Sideways, deluxe class (could be remold of barricade?)
-Sideswipe, deluxe class (remold of the DOTM figure)
-Generic Decepticon bad guy, deluxe class
-Jolt, deluxe class
-Grindor, leader class (repaint and slight upscale [~2in+] of Blackout)

Lastly, I know that this will never happen, but I can and will dream
-6 pack with the other 6 Primes in leader class size (would be a massive ~$300 box set)

I personally think that most of these figures will be made in the future, but I know some are just dreams. That is what I can think of right now, but please let me know if I missed someone or what you think of my list.

They sold Jazz who is super small at a deluxe price so I highly doubt them to be so generous as to give us two toys of his size (or slightly smaller) for that same price of one.

Well Jazz was 15ft and the twins were ~8ft so it would make more sense for them to be about half the height of Bumblebee or Jazz. It would be a case like with the Arcee triplets deluxe size. Plus, I want to be able to have Bumblebee pick them up and smash them together like he did in ROTF.

The only thing missing on this list would be a slight remold of 2007 Bumblebee, and the appliancebots.

EDIT: And ice cream truck Skids & Mudflap!

I really think they will go the Arcee route with the Twins if they make them. They are tiny, and would do best as a pair. They would also be in scale seeing as they are pretty small.

I want them too, They need to get eaten by Devastator and headsmacked by Bee

That's it. There's been something about Soundwave that's been throwing me off and you finally put it into words.

Greetings Seibertronians! For fans of Studio Series, it seems that YouTube reviewer, TonTon Reviews has been at it again, this time reviewing the upcoming Leader Class release, Dark of the Moon Shockwave! He also comes with mini figures of Wheelie, Brains and a N. E. S. T. Paratrooper

Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, EvasionModeBumblebee and Rton for bringing our attention to this review.

We have embedded the video below for your convenience:


What did you think of the review? Do you think it's only logical that you'll be picking him up once he hits shelves? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Fans were wondering what Transformers Studio Series SS 48 was and while we assumed it was the case, we now have proof that it is indeed the Universal Studios Exclusive Megatron figure which is a silver/grey redeco of the Dark of the Moon leader figure. To add to this, we also have more images from upcoming Studio Series toys. These include the upcoming Wave 8 Deluxe figures of Chromia, Arcee and Elita-1 three-pack, WWII Hot Rod, and Soundwave with Laserbeak. While the bike sisters are sold together as a Deluxe Class figure, they're all roughly Legends Class sized, and include stands so their unique robot modes can stand on their own. This is also, notably, the first time Elita-1 will be represented in toy form with her own screen and vehicle accurate robot modes- all her previous toys were recolors of either Chromia or Arcee. WWII Hot Rod is a redeco of WWII Bumblebee with a new head, and Soundwave is also a new mold, transforming into a screen accurate robot and Mercedes SLS AMG vehicle mode, with very nice silver paint.

1) Hot Rod is actually a new head/chest/arms retool of WWII Bumblebee. robot modes have more differences than you believe!

2) Brains and Wheelie are Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny! But that's ok.

3) I am excited for the Arcee triplets. That set looks like a lot of fun

I’m not a fan of them making exclusives part of the numbered system (I’m not sure why they do either, Star Wars black series doesn’t do that), but with that said I really like this Megatron! It’s so cool to see Transformers the Ride on a Studio Series box, It makes me think we could see an Evac repaint in studio series which would be neat.

I really like the color scheme too, I just wish they had included the ROTF gun/claw that he has on the ride. If I do end up at Universal again at some point, I think I’d pick this Megatron up.

I agree with the numbering, it's strange.

But i too hope he is there when i go back to Orlando studios sometime. I would totally grab him to go with Evac

Or colored as Chromia, in the case of Robot Heroes Chromia using Elita's base design.

Technically, wouldn't that be a toy of Chromia and not a toy of Elita-1?

Yeah, but only because of its deco and name, when it was clearly sculpted to be Elita.

I dont collect any movie toys anymore so my opinion is mundane, but laserbeak is looking like a catapillar with wings.

Oh snap, that is hilarious.

Look closely at the packaging and y'all will see that the official full name of this figure is "As Seen In Parks Megatron".

So trademark pretty much secured forever then, right?

I'm not a fan of the movie Arcee sisters, although I'll probably get them since Arcee is one of my top ten favorites.

I would rather they'd gone with a voyager size set and incorporated the combiner mode that ended up not being used.

Now if you give me a Movie Arcee based on the Bumbleebee movie, I'll be right there at the front of the line for picking her up.

You feelin' lucky, Punk?

Honestly, they killed the movie 1 cast. Optimus, Ironhide, and Jazz are fantastic! Ratchet is OK, and we need to see how the new Bee does, but they did really good with the Bots
