New Transformers Studio Series Listings, including Sideswipe, Cogman, Bonecrusher, Rampage and More

Wasn't that Bonecrusher box denounced as a fake though?

And dammit I am excisted for Barricade and Sideswipe more than any other toy in any line at moment. I love those two designs and these new figures look so good!

REMINDERS: That Bonecrusher box was already proven to be fake, and the Takara SS figure numbers DO NOT line up with Hasbro's because of their handling of exclusives. So yes, Sideswipe is SS-29 for the Hasbro releases, but is apparently SS-20 for Takara. They also have not released/announced a wave for Dropkick yet, but are including the KSI Sentry in their Wave 3 without him, so that Dropkick listing should be the helicopter mold, not a new muscle car Dropkick before anyone jumps to conclusions.

So really, what do we get from this, other than Takara SS figure numbers?
-Further leaked confirmation of Bonecrusher, Prime number 2, Cogman, and Scrapmetal (who is a Deluxe by his pricing)
-Leader Megatron (maybe the 2007 design?) and Jetfire, which I think showed up on Amazon but we weren't sure what line they were for
-A THIRD Optimus, possibly to coincide with Jetfire's release because Super Mode
-A Voyager Rampage, interesting, wonder if he'll be red or yellow
-A Deluxe Character B, who based on prior knowledge could be: the retail release of an SS Drift Amazon leaked, Hightower (HIGHLY unlikely since the figure is Deluxe priced, that's entirely too small for him), one of the exclusive Bumblebees Hasbro put out that Takara hasn't touched yet, or a new figure/character we don't know about yet (Mirage/Dino? A Wrecker? Jolt? Soundwave? A repainted Crosshairs? A TLK Barricade?)

All in all, this is indeed interesting, the plot continues to thicken. We're supposed to get SS reveals this week from London, right? Maybe they'll show this stuff...

Edit: Oh, there's a picture that proves that's the helicopter Dropkick, whoops, just ignore that part I guess.

Scrap Metal and Rampage, will those be standalone figures do we think, or is it possible we are seeing the first look at a possible SS Devy?

SS Leader Jetfire.
Hmmmmmmmmmm............
Let's hope it can partform to hell and back so that he can combine perfectly with SS Optimus.

Ss jetfire prime combination...whelp, I need in on that. Wouldn't it be crazy if the costructicons could all combine? Though demolisher may be impossible due to scale issues

I'm going to guess "Character B" is Shatter since she isn't on the list anywhere.

That was my first thought as well.

Voyager Rampage? The red one that we see in ROTF wasn’t that much bigger than Bumblebee. . . Maybe he has to be voyager-sized to form a leg for Devastator?

Super excited to see these figures though! Aren’t we supposed to be getting some reveals soon?

I'll believe thems when I sees thems.

So we have heard of rumors of Hightower, Rampage, and Scrapmetal, PLEASE TELL ME WE’RE GETTING A NEW DEVASTATOR!!! Also, it would be cool if the made it modular so that Demolisher could replace Scavenger and Bonecrusher could replace Overload

...oh yeah, that'd probably make way more sense than a bunch of the possible characters I listed. I really should stop posting in response to new stuff after midnight...

Studio Series Devastator confirmed

Guys how big would demolisher have to be to fit in to a scale set by the ss releases we have?

Leader at the very least.

Supreme class

I am very underwhelmed by most of the Studio Series. They look and feel too cheap.

hausjam wrote:I am very underwhelmed by most of the Studio Series. They look and feel too cheap.

Depend which one. Many deluxes do not feel "premium" at all. But so far, I think the line is killing it with the voyagers and leaders so far. Thundercracker and Grimlock being shiny examples.

Bonecrusher HATES waiting for updates!

Super excited about these. The confirmation for Voyager Bonecrusher is great news, and I had only been hoping that we’d see a Rampage somewhere down the line. His design is so unique that I wouldn’t mind if they did a red and a yellow version. It looks like I’m in the minority on the boards though, because I sincerely do not want combining Constructicons. There’s a lot of movie designs that I’ve come 180 on over the years, but Devastator isn’t one of them. However, I love the individual bots designs, and I really don’t want to see them compromised by a combining gimmick. On an individual level, the figures always wind up being poorer for it. I am a little,puzzled as to why Rampage is a voyager, but Scrapper is a deluxe?

On a less pessimistic side, it’s so reassuring to see that Has/Tak recognizes that this particular line has such potential. There’s still a large number on on screen characters left to tackle. Here’s hoping that they get to most of them. I wouldn’t mind some more Decepticon cannon fodder, so long as they’re new molds. I feel like if they make a Shockwave, then that two headed Decepticon based on his form would be a given. I’m also banking on them doing the rest of the Dinobots, but, you know....good. With nice screen accurate paint jobs, and somewhat more in scale. SS Grimlock is great, and I love my AoE Scorn and Strafe, but I want to fill out the rest of the Dinobots.

The last listing, the new character with the larger price tag, has be really curious. Going by the price, it’s safe to assume that it’s larger than leader class, right? Or else there’s something more to it than just a largish figure.

do you guys think Studio Series Cogman will retain Titan Master compatibility?

It could just be TLK Cogman in better colors, mostly for his car mode and Titanmaster. That way, we could all get a Cogman for those who missed out on him or couldn't find him. I'd be happy if they did that.

Agreed, honestly, I'd much rather get figures of non-combining Constructicons that are good figures than Constructicons who can't transform into robot mode because it was sacrificed for the good of that abomination of a combiner.

Bucky wrote:I am a little,puzzled as to why Rampage is a voyager, but Scrapper is a deluxe?

Not Scrapper, Scrapmetal, the guy quoted in the movie as "ze little one" of the Constructicons who was cannibalized to fix Megs. That's why he's a Deluxe.

That last listing is a Movie Masterpiece figure, NOT a SS figure, hence the price.

Damn, I may have to get those Constructicons. Combiners or not, I do love the movie Constructicon designs, and my MT Giant crew could always do with auxilliary support (I still want to get a replacement Energon Steamhammer along with his limbs as "Decimator"). I hope we get a Long Haul- and to be honest I kinda want an Onslaught out of him. Sure he did bugger all, but he was a nice design for a model tweak.

And Bonecrusher! Out of all the "one-scene wonders" of the Bayverse, he was by far the best. Barely had any screentime but boy was it memorable.

Oooooh, I didn’t even realize that was him. That makes more sense now.

So does the price point on the last listing. I need to read more carefully. Thanks for clearing all that up for me.

29: Hasbro ID number
SS-20: TakaraTomy ID number

Simply put, they don't match ever since Thundercracker.

Rysquad wrote:do you guys think Studio Series Cogman will retain Titan Master compatibility?

He really has to doesn't he? Cogman is a little shorter than a human and doesn't turn into a car so for movie accuracy there's really nothing else he can be but a Titan Master.

Only other thing I can think of is a non-Headmaster version that comes with a mini-figure like that Charlie figure that comes with that one Bumblebee, but I'd rather have an improved version of the TLK figure.

Him being a TLK re-release did cross my mind. However, like Thundercracker and Drift, he may end up an exclusive, just because he's a mere redeco.

Voyager Bonecrusher is great news. The original deluxe is good, but it really needed the upgrade.
As for the constructicons, I'll keep my ROTF ones and buy only the missing members if they don't combine.

One more thing: "Character B" could be a number of characters, including Dino and Hightower who have been listed on Amazon before. More than likely it's Dino, as TakaraTomy likes putting members of the same group in sequential order, with the RotF Constructicons starting at SS-32 Scrapmetal.

I really hope we get a combining Jetfire and Prime, i will guy a Prime then, dunno which version, but I will.

and I am hoping so hard we get a SS Devastator. I want a proper Combiner from RotF dammit!!!

It can't be Hightower, there's no way he could be a Deluxe and still be accurately scaled. Character B is a Deluxe-class figure based off the pricing. Your point about Takara's numbering patterns is also interesting though, I wonder if that means we're going to get a whole team of Constructicons that Takara just releases in one Wave.

The current main theories are that Character B is either Dino or Shatter, although I put a bunch of rambled late-night ideas of other Deluxe sized characters it could be the night of this leak (I still kinda want it to be Jolt).

This is where the oops is mine: Hightower was part of a group of amazon listings along with Cogman, Drift and Scrapmetal. Mind you, that even though Hightower is an arm component for Devastator (which I don't see being made unless he got the Bob Barker treatment), he connects to a second vehicle that forms the hand, so he may not be as big as imagined.

I'm still betting on Dino since he was leaked, and Shatter isn't (yet).

Leader Class Megatron??? 2007 MOVIE MEGATRON??? MAYBE???!!!!

I'm guessing DotM to give him a giant in-scale vehicle mode that shrinks down into a robot the size of RotF Megatron from SS

That's what I want. Leader class because of the sheer mass and parts count. Plus the cab would be as big as Optimus in truck mode, PLUS there will be the trailer part. Complete with tarp/cloak made out of real fabrics (I hope). The trailer would be quite hollow inside, of course. Everything will then perfectly fold down and "magically" compress into a Megatron the same size as SS ROTF Voyager Megatron's robot mode. But that one will NOT be hollow. He will be quite hefty in hand.

I think Character B is either a character from the Bumblebee movie that they are hiding or maybe a real good fig that Hasbro wants to keep a secret until the very last second

There are several other characters we got listings for that are not in that list like Drift, Dino and Hightower. So it can be any one of those 3 as well.

I said I wasn't gonna buy any more Transformers for a lil while but I saw the gold coloured version of Studio Series VW Bumblebee for just £20 buy it now (+£4 P&P) on eBay just now & had to have it. I'd been waiting for that to be sold by itself (comes sealed and untouched in it's proper box) since it's usually about £60 with G1 cassettebots I don't even want (but clearly the guy who bought it was after those).

Ok now me got that to look forward to in a few days. Off I go now to get ready for first performance of the play I'm doing. Have a good day, folks.

An image has been found online with the usual purple scribbles blotting out most of the image. However, we are still left with enough to make out that this is the front of the istruction booklet for Studio Series 42 Longhaul. While it may be fake, we still wanted to share it with you until proven so. The toy is stated to be a voyager class toy of the character that appeared in Revenge of the Fallen. A new toy for him would be interesting to see since unlike most other tys released in the studio series so far, the original Long Haul toy was of that same size, accurate enough and stellar overall. It has even made our list of Top 5 Toys from the First Trilogy.

Let us know if you are excited for another Long Haul!

If they found a way to make these guys combine this time, I would be totally down for SS Movie constructicons. otherwise, pass

Immortal Starscream wrote:If they found a way to make these guys combine this time, I would be totally down for SS Movie constructicons. otherwise, pass

Ditto.
Unless they are characters that were never done before.

Call me crazy but I actually kinda want an Onslaught out of this mold. He did absolutely nothing, sure, but he was a cool design with a really neat altmode and he'd make a good crowdfiller.

Regardless though, this looks awesome and I want him. Long Haul was one of my favourite of the Bayverse designs.

Problem is, if these guys combine, devy isnt going to be in scale plus demolisher's robot mode is massive in the film compared to Optimus, how would they handle that?

ZeroWolf wrote:Problem is, if these guys combine, devy isnt going to be in scale plus demolisher's robot mode is massive in the film compared to Optimus, how would they handle that?

I get confused. Demolishor had a robot mode? thought none of those combining ones did. And Long Haul was not part of Devastator in the film so he wouldnt combine.

Wait, wasn't demolisher the one at the begining of the film which Prime kills execution style? I do get confused with how that scene plays out, where they combine, problem with reusing the same alt modes.

ZeroWolf wrote:Wait, wasn't demolisher the one at the begining of the film which Prime kills execution style? I do get confused with how that scene plays out, where they combine, problem with reusing the same alt modes.

There were multiple demolishers. He was the dude at the beginning in China that said the Fallen will rise again and he was at the end that created Devastator

I just checked the wiki. I guess the decepticon that combines into devastator was named Scavenger. Identical robot though. One is whiter than the other but still. If they combine I doubt they’d do two of the same with a different name.

Then again...bumblebee...

There's multiple of each of the constructicons. There's one Long Haul that was a part of Devastator, and there's one that was taken out during the air strike. There was even one that showed up for a second in DOTM.

Just play along with the idea that there are two sets of Construction Vehicle Decepticons in the movie: one with individual robot modes, and one that combines into Devastator. Not interchangeable

So we got Rampage, ze little one called Scrapmetal who bares resemblance to Scrapper (*groans*), Hightower, and now Long Haul. All we're missing are Mixmaster and Demolishor.

Take note that the "42" is the Hasbro ID nr, and that the TakaraTomy "SS-" one will be different.

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!

C'mon Hasbro. Give us the Titan scale Movie Devy that the minority of us have wanted since ROTF Devy sucked ass (Giant not Legends). We'll need Mixmaster god forbid he might be even harder than the Original to transform, Scrapper, Scavenger and Rampage (Red)
