Official Images of Studio Series BB Arcee, BB ironhide, SS 86 Junkyard and Sludge

After seeing the reveal of these figures, I am genuinely excited for all of them, but if I'm honest, Sludge was the one that REALLY caught my attention, and I am more than happy to add him with the rest of his Dinobot brethren when he hits shelves.

I am hoping he will be huge, like 9-10 inches tall. They can put more in his size since he really doesn't transform. I also want him to have a removable face, staff that folds and can go through his head, and a matrix.

Given the lists above, I'm impressed they have fully completed the roster for the first film in the SS line. That's impressive for HasTak to actually finish something.

Oh right. On the one hand, no great loss. On the other hand, which altmode should the figure have?

It's like the comments above regarding The Fallen. Technically they could simply make him in the RED line and state that is the SS iteration.

Either a pack in mini figure or a frenzy that turned into a portable cd player as a core class figure...or if hasbro were really smart, they'd have a to-scale Frenzy figure packed in with a larger version that turned into the cs player and sell it for Deluxe price.

It's been so long since I saw '07 I completely forgot about Frenzy. Can't imagine why...

Arcee looks awesome!

Great to see her getting some love. First the Cyberverse, Generations and Masterpiece Arcee in which I think Cyberverse Arcee is the winner.

Now we get an Authentics Arcee which incorporates the vehicle stuff better in Robot mode and now this Bumblebee movie Arcee which looks great!

I'm totally sold on all the Generations figures of the Bumblebee movie Cybertron scene. Will get them all eventually.

Good times people! Well, not for your shelf/table/storage space and wallet. I want almost 90% of everything Generations Hasbro/Takara pumps out.

If they redo Classics Jetifre into a Valkyrie that would be sweet.

I wonder if this will be Arcee's movie design moving forward? I'd be in favour of it over the half bike thing she was in Bayformers.

I'm afraid thrilling 30 Leader Jetfire was as close as you get as Takara won't want to be advertising a competitors product.

I think you are right, Bandai or the rights holders are pretty sharp on it.

However you all remember Energon Windrazor, that was a pretty awesome Jet transformer with great and simple transformation. And Cyberverse Jetfire (flew under the radar for a lot of people I think) has also a great transformation and 2 modes.

And we have that Cyber Battalion Jetfire who's also pretty damn awesome in my book.

On Arcee, I hope she will be the new look for her in Live Action movies. She looks very G1 and feminine, curvy and also a bit cute. I love the design and hope they repaint her a couple of times. Will get all.

Also hope they make Cyberverse Chromia, her cuteness scale was of the charts

At the scale Studio Series is at, Frenzy would have to be a tiny nontransforming figure like Igor, Ravage, or the Sam that came with ROTF Bumblebee. Definitely bigger than Wheelie and Brains, though.

The Buzzworthy Clunker Bee and Barricade pack would have been a perfect opportunity to include Frenzy, but since that didn't happen maybe we'll get a Studio Series accessory pack like they did for WFC not too long ago? That'd be a good opportunity to include Frenzy and some missing weapon accessories, like Bumblebee's missile launchers, Sentinel's shield and rust cannon, the rifles that Barricade, the Dreads, and Decepticon protoforms all use in DOTM, Prime's hooks, 07 Megatron's fusion cannon, and other stuff like that.

Speaking of the 07 cast in SS, I think Dispensor would be the perfect scale for core class.

I can't remember if Arcee is listed in the Rise of the Beasts cast, if not then I reckon we'll see her again in the forthcoming prequel Cybertron movie, where she'll keep the same alt (or slightly different to sell more toys)

She is, with an Earth motorcycle alt.

Arcee is set to be in Rise Of The Beasts! No robot mode pictures yet, but she will be the red motorcycle. I should think the design will be more humanoid than the ROTF version, both for practicality's sake and to keep continuity with her look from Bumblebee.

Since when have the live action movies cared about consistency Hasbro/paramount are still counting this as Transformers 7 after all

If Hasbro considers this to be in the same timeline as the Bay movies, that's one thing. But ROTB seems to be following up from Bumblebee's efforts to diverge into a new continuity. All it has to do is fit in with Bumblebee, and then it can do whatever else it likes, and we can at least act like there are two different film series.

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Speaking of the 07 cast in SS, I think Dispensor would be the perfect scale for core class.

There you go. Core class isn't exactly a "scale" so really anything can go as far as I can tell. Not sure if he on his own would work, but maybe a two pack with the Oreo bot from AoE.



I'd buy it.

Appart Sludge to continue my G1 Dinobots, the one I'm looking forward the most is Bee Movie Arcee. Absolutely fantastic!

You have to give the Studio Series designers more credit.Many of the robots seen at the Cybertron scene in Bumblebee,weren't designed with transformation in mind,but the toys still managed to pull it off.
If they want to give an alternate mode to a toy,they can do it.

Day 769 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I really like this droid mode for Ravage

They certainly have ...a few more options than the Cybertron BB characters. Unlike them however, when it comes to The Fallen, I don't think it matters as much.

Since all of the RED toys are in the same uniform size, The Fallen would be way too small as a RED toy.

Sabrblade wrote:Since all of the RED toys are in the same uniform size, The Fallen would be way too small as a RED toy.

Not in a Core Class display I guess.

Like with DOTM Shockwave, I’m sure they’ll prioritize The Fallen’s robot mode and put less emphasis on alt mode, which I’m fine with. Maybe they’ll do the standard re-entry “meteor” mode?

It is a bit weird that considering he doesn't transform into anything in ROTF. He has two altmode variations in the movie toyline?

Then, he would be too tall. He didn't tower over Megatron, for instance.

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:It is a bit weird that considering he doesn't transform into anything in ROTF. He has two altmode variations in the movie toyline?

I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean the 2 previous toy molds (voyager vs. legends)? Or do you mean getting possible a different mode now as compared to the previous? Because I would consider the first 2 toys the same alt mode, just limited by the class size restraints.

No clue whether they will use any of the previous altmode cues or go with something new. But I wouldn't find anything weird about using a new different alt mode in SS as compared to before for a figure without an on screen alt mode. Why should they be limited for an alt mode to a toy designed over 10 years ago by a different team and under different design/class constraints?

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote: Maybe they’ll do the standard re-entry “meteor” mode?

We're missing those for the others as well, at least Prime should get 1. He got 1 in the regular line way back when.

Did the core class BB Schockwave and BB Ravage go up on Pulse after FFF last friday? I know the RED Pre-order figures did, but wasn't sure about the core. If it's old news, my apologies, but they are on Pulse Now in stock for anyone who wants them.

They were up even before FFF, not sure how much before, but I noticed them the night before.

I am most curious as to how they do the Fallen. I love the idea of a Cybertronian Destroyer alt, but I would like the alt streamlined, but definitely put the priority to the taller skinnier robot mode with removable face and staff, and yes I would love a SS matrix to go with him.

I am also holding out hope for Sideways and Hot Rod to look good and like themselves. And eventually, a good Que will follow.

I too still want a frenzy, he is so missed

Thanks to a post over at Fuji's Ecological diary, we have our first in hand images of the upcoming Transformers Studio Series NEST Bumblebee. NEST Bumblebee is a repaint of the Bumblebee movie Jeep Bumblebee figure in NEST colors, homaging the NEST subline from the Revenge of the Fallen era. The figure comes in the standard NEST gray with translucent green, stark contrast to the original yellow. The figure also comes with the Sam figurine that originally came with the Revenge of the Fallen Bumblebee figure.

The history on this figure is a little convoluted, so it is uncertain where this figure was originally meant to come out, but it has been postulated that it was originally supposed to go to Universal Studios, much like the Universal Studios Megatron release. This figure is currently available to preorder and is expected to see its full release in April.

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

They fixed the typo on his name.

I thought it was Sector 7 that appeared on all the Cybertron redecos...didn't NEST come after that?

SpaceEagle wrote:I thought it was Sector 7 that appeared on all the Cybertron redecos...didn't NEST come after that?

Correct. NEST was from ROTF, and appeared again in DOTM and TF: The Ride.

The only thing that Nest Bumblebee does is make me want a new Hound!

Haha yeah that's what I recalled. Got a bit confused reading the article and thought I missed something!

The actual figure is more gunmetal than flat gray, nice. Glad I ordered him, he looks really good close up.

My bad, mixed them up, but it's fixed now.

I like how it looks, I'm excited to get him!

It's funny that we're getting a new-deco figure themed around NEST when that organization hasn't been around for over ten years (outside of TF: The Ride, the only thing still regularly promoting NEST as an Autobot ally), and when the last two linear movies (e.g. - AOE and TLK) were instead pushing government organizations that wanted the Autobots dead and gone (Cemetery Wind and the Transformers Reaction Force).

Even when counting the Bumblebee movie, that one went back to Sector Seven, who (because of the time period and the movie's very loose attempt to still somewhat foreshadow the first movie) needed to still view the Autobots with suspicion and distrust.

When looking at the bigger picture of all six movies, NEST is probably the best government organization to come out of the films, yet it died with DOTM (save for, again, TF: The Ride) and was replaced with anti-Autobot groups.

NEST Bee is pretty cool, that gunmetal looks nice.


Here's the ROTF Autobots we got last year, I really dig them!

Greetings Seibertronians!

Transformers Studio Series Core Class Shockwave (from the Bumblebee movie) has been on store shelves for a little while now. Maybe you've seen him and been undecided on picking it up, well if that's the case, these video reviews from some fellow Seibertronians!

First up is Ham-Man:



Next, we have Soundwave8084, who chimes in with his review of the tiny tactician.



Lastly, we have Chuckdawg1999, who offers his thoughts in writing and on video:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:The introduction of the Core Class to the Studio Series opens up the line to smaller-scale characters from the live-action movies like Wheelie and Brains. Of course, the first figure released is Shockwave. Don't forget, Core Class is also meant to be a cheaper price point to get named characters into people's hands. Shockwave is a cool figure, the transformation is fairly easy but as is the case when dealing with ball joints, the tightness of the joints can be a factor in how enjoyable the transformation is. Overall, Shockwave is a good figure and while I believe we will see a larger version at some point, this Core Class version can hold you over for the time being.

Do you have Shockwave? Has any of these reviews swayed you towards picking him up?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

The Studio Seires wave including 86 Perceptor, BB movie Brawn, BB movie Ratchet and BB movie Wheeljack has been found in the UK. It's technically wave 15 of Studio Series deluxes but Hasbro also sees it as 2022's first wave. The leader wave with 86 Stascream was also found. In other UK sightings news, the final wave of Kingdom voyagers, which includes Blaster, was also found. All these sightings were at various Smyths stores. These sightings were first reported here.

That Perceptor is purty. I'm undecided on Ratchet, leaning towards purchase.

So new Lego Rumors are saying that we will be getting a Optimus Prime set! It is said to come with a jetpack so fingers crossed it is a DotM version! It can also transform without being taken apart! If this rumor comes true, it is going to be epic and fulfill so many hopes and dreams of mine. Honestly, it could even be G1 and I would still buy it in a heartbeat.

I'm hopeful we'll see Ratchet, Brawn, and Wheeljack soon. I am excited to get those 3, specifically Brawn.
