While a lot of fans would like more Studio Series figures for characters from the Bumblebee movie, we have not seen new listings for characters like Shatter, Blitzwing or another Dripkick in his muscle car alt mode. Instead, we have found, thanks to Scotty P, an Amazon listing for a Studio Series Cogman. While this might be a new mold, the fact that there is such a strong link between the Studio Series and the TLK Premier Series line leads to the idea that this might simply be the same Cogman mld from that line reoffered, especially since the wave containing Cogman was skipped by the primary retailer market in the US (ie. Toysrus, Walmart, Target).
Along with Cogman, we remind you that there are also listings for an upcoming Drift, Scrapmetal and Hightower figure.
Here are the Amazon links below
Cogman
Drift
Scrapmetal
Hightower

Yep, I've moved on from trying to figure out the plan. I'm just happy when I get stuff I like and keep my mouth and wallet shut when I don't.

To be honest, while I want toysof all these bumblebee movie characters, seeing the Bumblebee makes me think its better we wait. At least now Hasbro has the full CG models and has a line where they can release these characters later. In most cases, the second toy of a character is better than the previous (Knight Optimus Prime, Hound, Crosshairs, Leader Prime from the early films, ect).

To be fair, all the marketting is going towards the toys aimed at younger kids. This film is aimed at them (more so than the previous) and so is that film's toyline. Hasbro is basically using us (fansites) as the marketting outlet for Studio Series and getting the word out.

That, and I’d still prefer word of Bonecrusher and Hatchet to complete the teams.

I wouldn't count on it, we never got proper Triple-changing toys for the movie, with the two modes split between two toys.
Also, Devastator in the movie has more components than the 6 or 7 that ended up being released as toys. At the very least, the crane arm has an additional component for the "fingers". And let's not bring up the vehicles that form his... you know...

Except combined modes are usually not counted for a Triple-Changer name, but I will admit your point. Even then, we need more (named) components for a proper movie-accurate Devastator... tho I think we all can live without... that...

This is true, and it's also worth noting that you see several components of devastator fighting at the same time you see devy climbing the pyramid.

...okay, I swear there was an Amazon listing for a voyager Bonecrusher at some point that everyone got excited about, I think I even saw it (although I think it shortened his name to Voyager Bonecrush), so unless I'm just insane which I might be for all I know, Bonecrusher is coming, don't worry about it. In fact, I think that Bonecrusher listing showed up in tandem with a listing for the second Prime we're just now getting a picture and number for, so if Prime's SS-32, Bonecrusher's most likely SS-31, as there has to be SOMEONE between Crankcase and Prime and they pretty much have to be Voyager class given the progression of the numbers in correlation to the price points.
Now that that's out of the way...
Cogman: Already got TLK Cogman online months ago, I doubt I'll get this one.
Drift: No thanks.
Scrapmetal: I just mentioned yesterday that I wanted a SS Trench, and the next day a listing shows up for an obscure Constructicon with the same body type. If they actually make this and retool it into Trench, I will be shocked and amazed and buy them both, but regardless, Scrapmetal is on the purchase list now.
Hightower: If we're actually getting a proper scaled/non-Legends class figure of Hightower that actually turns into his insane robot mode design, that's going to be hilariously amazing and I need it.

Oh, we saw the Bonecrusher listing. But it's the fact that we've had reveals we didn't even have a leak for that has caused some impatience

I completely forgot about that, bizarre. Slightly off but same deal with Optimal Optimus, I think he's the only PotP figure that hasn't had an official Amazon listing pop up - he's still $100 on there.

I wonder if they got burned by earlier waves not moving fast enough.

I don't see why he wouldn't be. That would require retooling to remove a decent non-intrusive action feature and technically the Titan Master is Cogman himself being that he's human sized. And you have the Titan Master compatible Thundercracker (being that he's a new head of Nitro) already in Studio Series. I still kinda hope they add a tiny Anthony Hopkins this time around. I mean... I also don't cos it would mean I'd end up buying the figure twice but come on they should have done it the first time around seeing as how Cogman's car seats two!
Waiting to see what SS32 actually looks like in figure form all decoed out before I consider buying it. I wanted a gun with the original one (and probably get the Dr Wu gun for him) and I'm happy with the paintwork and toyhax stickers I added to my figure but yeah let's see if they at least improved the factory colours this time around. Don't suppose he'd be a bit bigger this time to look a bit more imposing next to Ironhide? Eh I still prefer this mold to my revenge Prime anwyays for the proportions and posability.

Shown in the image below in the robot mode, with the helicopter mode as default (rather than the other alt mode of a blue muscle car), at least in its initial prototype mode, featuring some grey and clear plastic on the base mold, and a sorta look at the headsculpt. Check it out!
Decepticon DROPKICK is as bad as they come. Here's an exclusive reveal of a stage 1 production prototype of this Decepticon menace! This is Studio Series Deluxe Class Dropkick – Transformers: Bumblebee

A little flimsy and floppy, to be honest. Very nice design, but the quality is lacking.

Quite a lot of fun. Was a pain in the butt the first time I transformed him to car mode as I couldn't seem to line up everything probably and when I squeezed one part into place, another part of the roof popped out but I got there. Also the mask gimmick was tricky cos the regular face was really hard to remove on mine and the whole head kept popping off when I tried (in fact the gimmick would probably have been a whole lot simpler with the whole head being swappable rather than the faces) but I used some tweezers to prise off the face to put the mask on and switched them back without problem now the face has been taken off that first time. I think the only part of the figure that bugs me is the back end of the car on the back of the lower legs. Just wish it was a bit neater and compact and clicked together nicely. But yeah other than that I'm pretty happy with him and he looks great and poses quite nicely (I like the articulation in the arms especially). I'm gonna paint some extra yellow and silver in places where he should have them too to make him more accurate.

I’ve had some issues pegging everything tightly into vehicle mode, but robot mode on my VW Bee is pretty stable. He’s a lot of fun! He does also have an issue with the armor on the back of his legs getting in the way of itself to hinder posing, but my god he’s an improvement over Camaro Bee. Most of it is in the backpack - it actually holds together without falling out and is uses pins so it shouldn’t loosen horribly. Plus I LOVE the battle mask, I’m displaying mine with it.
Sorry, this is the only picture I have since I’m at work but I did manage to find the Marvel Legends Thing yesterday too so getting him and Bumblebee both at once was great

I actually do still prefer my camaro Bee figure but yes pins it the roof section of that would have been nice (though as shown in pics and video I posted here ages ago mine is fine after having added bit more friction in that particular roof joint).
Got them in similar poses like a team up. I really don't like VW Bee's gun arm though. It just looks pitiful compared to the bulkier ones on other Bee figures.

Just tried and nope cos surprisingly Vw Bee has a thicker elbow joint that means Camaro Bee's arm cannon will not fit over it and Vw Bee's puny weapon doesn't fit on Camaro Bee's elbow joint either.

Thanks for checking it out for me
