We have some nice new images of the upcoming Transformers Studio Series 44 Leader Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime. These are stock images of the final product. You can see him in package as well as out of the package. This is a slight retool of the SS 32 Optimus Prime and he can combine with Leader Jetfire as well. The extra chest piece that comes with Jetfire seems to be fore this particular Optimus, so that you can give him the Revenge of the Fallen look instead of the rock hard abs he got in Dark of the Moon. The wings and the weapons ring are both seperate parts of the trailer. This is scheduled for a September 1 release.

Reach past the big screen and build the ultimate Transformers collection with Studio Series figures, inspired by iconic movie scenes and designed with specs and details to reflect the Transformers movie universe.

In the Battle of Chicago scene from Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Optimus Prime blasts into battle, using his Jetwing tech to take out the Driller tearing through Chicago.

This Studio Series 44 Leader Class Optimus Prime figure features vivid, movie-inspired deco and converts from robot to truck mode in 44 steps. Truck trailer converts into jetwing tech to form Jetwing Optimus Prime. Remove backdrop to showcase Optimus Prime in the Battle of Chicago scene. Includes 5 detailed accessories: 2 blasters, 2 Energon weapons, and shield. For kids age 8 and up!

Fans can add parts from the Studio Series 35 Leader Class Jetfire figure (sold separately, subject to availability) to this figure to form Jetpower Optimus Prime. Below are the images followed by the product description.

:shock: Glad I waited for this version. It looks amazing! The trailer looks a little off, but it look really nice. It's missing some paint on some of the weapons, and I don't really like how the sword is a solid color, but it's definitely the best version to come out of Studio Series so far. I can paint the axe and parts of the shield, and I'll probably just use the swords from SS-05

I like how they went through the trouble of remolding the ab piece, but couldn't be bothered to paint it. Of all the things left unpainted for this release (and there's quite a few of them)...

Eh. Doesn't bother me much since I'll be using the other ab piece anyway. Now to hope that they fixed the grill so that it doesn't refuse to latch after a handful of transformations.

This thing is super rad, though I’m curious where they get the “5 accessories” from.

1. Sword
2. Shield
3. Ion Blaster
4. Axe
5. Other Gun
6. Other Other Gun
7. Jetwing
8. Weapon Ring

If you wanted to be generous you could count the trailer as all one thing, but that’s still 7 accessories. If you wanted to be even more generous, you could count the trailer as per of the figure, but that still leaves 6 accessories.

Right? I’m either missing something or it’s just a gratuitous typo, but I just though it odd.

I really like this new version of Optimus (besides the unpainted abs), but it also annoys the heck out of me to see that it includes the gun from SS-32, rendering that toy completely obsolete. I don't like this bait and switch thing where they offer a figure, only to reveal a better one after everyone has gone and made the purchase. It feels very dishonest to consumers.

I already have the 07/ROTF figure but I'm getting this guy as well. As far as I am concerned you an never have to many Optimus Primes, or Bumblebees, (or Jetfires for that matter, I have the SS one, I have the MakeToys one and I plan to get the siege one.)

The lack of paint on this figure really keeps it from being something I want. I'm sure it would be awesome with a few more details and colors, but right now it just looks so bland, especially all the gray trailer stuff.

Feeling a similar way, but imo the trailer-jetpack makes it worth it, even if it didn't have the extra accessories.

But yeah, the abs especially annoy me, because look at all the silver paint wasted on the windows! There seems to be conflicting priorities here.

It'll be that, or an 07/RotF Bumblebee (finally).

This is why I didn't buy Clunker Bumblebee. It's like, oh NOW you make him look accurate? Well sorry, you already got my money once.

I will admit I have quite a few nitpicks, but it's all decowise really, everything else is fine. I would have liked a bit more deco, like the abs, which could have been painted silver if they didn't use that for the windows :HEADHURTS: The sword being that orange bothers me a little, and the fact that it is supposed to be used as a regular sword also bothers me. Couldn't they have given us the swords from the first Voyager Prime? Would have looked better and be more movie accurate with how it's meant to be held. The lack of orange paint on the axe and shield can be forgiven as they could represent the powered off mode of them, and the trailer is... ok. I mean, sure I would have liked some silver paint on it, but I still like it otherwise.

Overall, it looks like a good figure that can finally do what I've wanted one to do ;)^

But the photoshopped Prime art on the box still looks terrible :lol:

I like how close and accurate they are getting with this studio series line, helps me complete my movie collection across the board. This doesn't fall short, yeah it's not perfect but what's missing gives me the opportunity to work on it once I've finished collecting movie figures. This will be my first Optimus Prime with a trailer since I don't collect G1 figures and it's totally better in retrospect to G1 trailers. I'll eventually get a G1 version of Optimus Prime but for now this figure thickens my quality of a collection. I'd give this figure a 8 out of 10 jus because it's done enough to allow me to make it perfect with the best paint job.

Prime’s looking awesome! I like that the gold on the front of the truck mode is more subtle and metallic than we saw at NYTF where it was bright yellow. The sculpt on the sword is great looking, too!

I seriously can’t wait to get this Prime, easily my most anticipated figure this year!

If I remember correctly, in DOTM, he did have a normal sword for a few minutes but it looked identical to the other ones

Yeah, the swords in DOTM are the same as in MV1 and ROTF, he just holds them instead of them extending from his arms. At the start of DOTM he grabs a sword from the trailer weapon ring, and later in the movie when he fights Sentinel it extends from his arm like they did in the previous movies but then he detaches and holds it.

Edit 2: Actually, he does have the swords extending from his arms (like in the first 2 movies) briefly during that glorious Decepticon killstreak right before he kills Shockwave.

They finally give us a movie Opitmus Prime in the Studio Series with the yellow fade on the front of the truck cab nose, but they forget to paint the abs silver and instead make the clear windshield opaque with silver paint!? Who is making these decisions!? Well, I guess you can still stick the alternate abs piece from Jetfire on there for more "accuracy" to first two films, but that still doesn't fix that fact that they painted the clear plastic windows for no good reason.

Personally I'm annoyed that they seem to have gone back to that weird shade of red that turned off so many people from the first SS Voyager Optimus Prime. Replace this guy with with the better Voyager version and then stick him with Jetfire so the red is complemented by the black and his abs get covered.

Also...

I'm hoping the red looks better with this mold and whatever tones its grey and blue are. I plan on replacing my current Voyager with this one, due in no small part to the orange fade they finally added.

Huh, I didn't know he was coming with the blaster. And I wish he came with the first voyagers swords, I was hoping for those blades for my regular Prime.

Oh well, glad he has another weapon though! He looks good!

I do hope this Devastator is quadrupedal like in the movie. The old Supreme class toy from 2009 was bipedal and looked really silly.

I'll probably still get him, but they did make some weird choices here. I like that they threw in his gun that we didn't see in the earlier pics, but its the gun from the first two movies and not the tri-barreled gun he used in DotM. They didn't paint the abs, but they did paint over the windows that were clear on the prior versions of this mold. Every picture shows him holding the big flight blasters on top of his hands, even though they're hollow at the bottom and look like they could have easily been designed to slide down and cover his arms like in the movie.

They aren't huge nitpicks, like I said, I still want him, just some odd choices going on here.

He's have to be quadruped, he's got the weight of 2 Leaders (Overload, Scavenger) and a Voyager (Mixmaster) in his torso alone! Comparing that to regular 5- or 6-member CW gestalts, the torso section is, by my estimates, relatively at least twice as heavy as normal.

He's designed like a gorilla, gorilla's can function on two legs, and look equally silly; it's more about utility than aesthetic;

Food for thought: I just tried out Rampage's leg mode: it's tall as a Deluxe in robot mode counting the flap. Devie's gonna be mahoosive indeed :shock:

Rampage's arms are somewhat needlessly complex for this mode at first sight, but after a while I see the reasoning why, it's to have every piece end up where they should and have the treads in a more pleasing orientation. The tread and hand twists I will admit are clever, the tabbing in of every piece, eh...

He's a wonderful figure with a premium paint job, an awesome head, playability with the TR line and PotP line, and the transformation is one of the best in the modern few years of toys.

Get him, no question

My brother and I would have loved this figure so much if her shoulders wouldn’t pop off with the slightest touch (her kibble was fixable, but her shoulders weren’t)

She really needs a Jet toy. This one is so subpar, it needed to be much better in many ways. Which is sad, cause I love the 60-70s muscle cars, so getting one like this that has a shagged robot mode is really sad

It doesn’t look like his front wheels are capable of rolling due to those bits that help him stand in robot mode, I may look into some modding in addition to some paint apps. Still really happy with him regardless!

My foray into the studio series Deluxes begins with these three.

Image

I picked up all three yesterday, and I've gotta say, I'm very impressed with each of them.

Image

Jazz is by far and away the standout figure. So much detail and fun packed into such a tiny little guy. His transformation is pretty clever, and he's so posable! Plus, this is the most paint I think I've seen in a long while. Jazz is great, and I'm super pleased with him.

Bumblebee unfortunately, is less good, but still a nice figure, and I'm glad I have him. I seem to have got unlucky with him because the roof is a nightmare, and falls off if I look at it incorrectly. He's basically a parts former for me as it's so much easier to just snap the roof in at the end when I transform him. His transformation was a little tricky at first, but now I've figured out how to get the bonnet down without forcing it, it feels a lot better. If both his modes weren't as great I'd have more of a problem with him, but as it stands, they aren't, and I don't.

Shadow Raider pretty neat too. I like him more than Bumblebee, but not as much as Jazz. I love his alt mode though. That shade of orange is like my favourite colour for the Aventador irl so it was meant to be! Honestly, the orange is such a nice colour in general for this figure. It helps break up all the balck and grey, and contrasts beautifully with the green mask. My only disappointment is he's not quite as articulated as I'd like, but again I can over look it.

Overall, I'm far more taken with the studio series than I thought I'd be. I genuinely thought I'd stick with the SS05 I got off ebay, but hey, here we are.

As an aside, these three look fantastic together. Image

So, after the first 6 waves of Studio Series, I want to know what all of your favorites have been. So here's how I want to try approaching this:

1) Give me your top 3 favorite figures of the line
2) Give me your favorite figure from the 3 size classes
3) Give me your biggest disappointment of the line so far
4) Give me your top 3 figures you want to see the line give us that it hasn't already/has been confirmed to be giving us

Feel free to provide explanations too!

I'll start:

1) Jazz, Rampage, Bonecrusher - All 3 are just so fun
2) Jazz, Rampage, Grimlock - Same as above, but Grimlock is less finnicky than the other Leaders, and I don't have any sort of tabbing issues with them, and he's gorgeous
3) Shatter - She is so limited in posing and has many floppy parts. She needs a better toy
4) I want to see Dino, Armored Leadfoot, and Leader Infernocus - the first 2 need deluxe toys to complete some lineups, and Infernocus needs a good toy, and a giant leader with 5 to 7 small bots in it that make a big beefy bot is what I want.

3 favorite: movie 1 Starscream (simple yet elegant in every right way), Scrapmetal (fun little figure of a character that you could basically write your own personality for (I like to think he was the smartest of the Constructicons, and that Scalpel had him killed out of jealousy)), and VW Bumblebee (I always love it when Hasbro can seamlessly blend the Movie ascetic with G1, like with Evasion Optimus Prime)

3 classes: Deluxe:Scrapmetal, Voyager:Starscream, Leader:Blackout (only leader character I actually wanted)

Disappointment: Shatter (do I even need to explain this choice?)

3 wants: movie 1 Megatron (with Frenzy) (I WANT EVERY MOVIE 1 DECEPTICON!), Jet Shatter (with no shattering issues) (such an awesome villain from the Bumblebee Movie, she deserves so much better), and Constructcion repaints (Demolishor in particular)

I can agree in 2 of the 3 favorites!

The classes are pretty good too, Blackout makes a huge copter.

Shatter I think disappointed everyone. Muscle car mode is cool, but that's about it.

Movie 1 Megs is a yes, he needed that MPM! same way Shatter needs a new toy.

Couldn't agree more. For the figures I have, I couldnt be with happier with Studio series so far.

For the questions, (although I only own like six figures so my knowledge is limited :lol:)

1) Optimus SS05, Jazz, and Shadow Raider are my favorites of the toys I own.

2) Jazz is by far and away my favourite Deluxe. So much personality for such a smol boy. For the voyagers, it's between my 2 Optimuses, (Optimi?) and I've gotta give it to SS05, against what I think most people say. I don't own any of the leaders so I can't really weigh in, but the ragged drifter DOTM Megatron is the one that appeals to me the most. I'm keeping my eye out for good sales. :lol:

3) Unfortunately this has to go to Thundercracker. I just don't gel well with this guy. I'm sorry, but I just can like him. I tried, I reallyy did. But he just doesn't do it for me. I love his head, but overall he's just not what I want. I'm probably gonna try to move him on soon. /:

4) I will absolutely second that Movie 1 Voyager Megatron. I passed the current Voyager Megs due to his wierd peekaboo tank mode, but I would jump all over the janky spikey superman pose "jet" that he turned into in movie 1. Another go at the AoE style Optimus body would be cool, especially with how far engineering has come. I'd love to see a Mercedes Soundwave, or maybe a new Fallen, or maybe a Shockwave. I unno. I just want more toys. MORE. MORE!

1) Give me your top 3 favorite figures of the line
2) Give me your favorite figure from the 3 size classes
3) Give me your biggest disappointment of the line so far
4) Give me your top 3 figures you want to see the line give us that it hasn't already/has been confirmed to be giving us



1) Bumblebee Prime, Jazz, Jetfire Prime, because he is everything I ever wanted in a movie Prime, Jazz because he is simply all kinds of awesome in a tiny package, and Jetfire, because he is my soul bot.

2) Same as above.

3) its a tie between Dropkick and Barracide. Dropkick, because it was an awesome movie character yet the toy is a floppy mess that looks nothing like the movie model. While Barricade looks good, its construction feels rushed, and refuses to hold together in vehicle mode.

Let's see here...

1. Stinger, Bonecrusher, and...I'm going to be controversial and say Dropkick. In regards to Stinger, I really appreciate that he actually got both his own mold and a retail release, as both are a first for him, and I really like how his transformation works, his weapons, and the fact that the figure even exists in the first place. For Bonecrusher, I enjoy the uniqueness of his transformation, I love how poseable and stable he is despite his lack of real feet, and who doesn't love his claw? As for Dropkick, I may be biased since I liked the character and I got the figure from my girlfriend, but I really like his current figure. I like his weapons, I love his transformation, he looks great with Bee and as part of a Deceptisquad, I like that he's more varied in color than just straight blue, and complaints that he isn't movie accurate enough don't really faze me since he never was just a chopper in the movie anyway, so the figure is inaccurate by default. My only complaint is that his head and eyes feel slightly on the small side.

2. Blackout's my only Leader, so he wins by default there, plus he's one of my favorite new characters from the movies and his chopper mode is appropriately huge. Bonecrusher also wins Voyager by default, plus the reasons listed above. Deluxe was the difficult decision, as most of my SS figures so far are Deluxes, but Stinger wins with no regrets.

3. VW Bee. It's such as shame, because his bot mode and accessories are perfect, and the alt mode LOOKS amazing, but getting to said alt mode and getting him to stay together that way is just such a struggle that it sours the figure as a whole.

4. Jolt (I'd love a movie-accurate upgrade from my RotF Deluxe), Blitzwing (I'm honestly surprised they haven't made an SS figure of him yet given how well the BB movie performed, plus they could reuse the mold later if they chose for other Seekers/generics), and I'll second Mercedes Soundwave (even though I don't like his design as a Soundwave, I do like his design overall, so I'd snag him to use as a separate character).

Note: I technically own Scrapmetal and Shatter, but both are unopened and in a different state right now, so I obviously excluded them from this.

I forgot to answer #4. :oops:

Anyway, the 3 Iwant to see made are:

Hotrod..............







Please dont kill me.........




And Skids and Mudflap.

Hotrod because his TLJ figure just plain sucks, and the twins because I genuinely like thier movie designs, if not thier characters
