Transformers Studio Series Optimus Prime and Starscream Packaging Art Leaked

We had covered a report of fans playing and testing the upcoming Transformers Studio Series Leader class Grimlock figure (which you can read for yourselves here), and now thanks to Weibo user 爆料人小明, it appears we may have a prototype of the very same, in the image mirrored below.

Take a look for yourself, let us know if you think this fits the mold (heh), and join the discussion in the Energon Pub. Are you excited for this new movieverse line? Are you expecting more news about it at Toy Fair 2018 later in February? Or is it something that holds no interest to you?

The sculpt is definitely strong, but will reserve final thoughts until we see dino mode. (Gotta say though, that jaw hanging off his arm is very jarring.)

Did anybody else notice that his arms are not attached? You can clearly See the mushroom pegs.
And I can identify 3 fake jaw halves. Two on his chest like every toy version of him has and one on his right shoulder. On the left one is the whole upper half of his T-Rex head.
AND it seems that he has no right hand. Instead of it the morningstar from the concept art and it looks like his forearm can split and flip out to become his tail, I guess. Because I can nowhere else see parts that might form his tail.
AAAND his feet seem to have the same transformation as the simplified toy versions of him like the new TLK Knight Armor Grimlock: just twist them around.

Looks good for the most part, but I want to see how the final product goes (transformation, colors, etc.) At least January's ending!

wait wait, so his T-rex legs become the Robot legs?

Seems to be so no classic Grimlock transformation. I don't think they would partform the feet on his robot legs and the T-Rex jaw on his left robot arm.

Why does he have what appears to be a dino head for a hand like BW megatron when the dino head splits to form his shoulders? This is garbage...

That's what I was thinking. It's neither screen accurate or sensical. Hopefully it's just some accessory clipped on for funsies.

Hopefully yes but looking at Dino heads on his shoulders I don't see bottom jaw for them unless there folded away and extra head on his arm is one with movable jaw in Dino mode I see bottom jaw on heads that are on shoulders my mistake I glanced at picture head attached to his arm could extra head for another gridlock figure it doesn't look attached to his arm

I totally prefer non-accuracy over fake-transformations so this is double BS.

Looks alright to me. It's just a prototype, I'd rather wait for the finished product to judge...

Can't really judge based on that. But I do like the morning star on his right hand. That was something I did want on a Grimlock that he never got

Since AoE or since ever?

Since AoE when I first saw it. It was a neat little thing that never got translated into a toy, just the giant mace

LOCKDOWN

Do we have any hints at an SS Lockdown? Because I preordered 's Movie the Best Lockdown and it will presumably ship next month.

Its his lower jaw you see on hsi arm. On all the other tys, it ends up on his back (I think) so this removes the kibble from his back and brings it to his arm.

Knock Out's gonna be the red sports car. Also, I hope we get a Camaro Bee from the first trilogy.

More news (I hope):

Its not leaked info, its a 4 chan rumour that doesnt add up with what was actually confirmed with evidence. So not news for now, sorry. But thanks for letting us know

To me it's an additional shield and therefore somehow cool even though it's redundant because of the fake lover jaw halves.

I'm hoping that Grimlock ain't even remotely final. MOst of it looks great but the left hand being the beast head (which is something i hate in previous figures like BW Megs and Cybertron Snarl) makes no sense at all especially since the dino head already seperates into the shoulders and that the previous movie Grimlock figures do it fine. If it really does that then it's no use to me at all and I'll stick with the rather fine AoE Voyager mold.

OK after reading posts above mine and having another closer look I see it's his lower jaw but I still dislike it being there. Rather have it out of the way. I'll need more pics before I decide

Nobody else pointed out that his tiny t-rex arms are also on the same arm as the jaw? You can see both of them clearly.

There is one on the way, he was just shown to be in the line in leaks that hasbro will not allow on here.

Via the Peruvian fan group on Facebook Transformers Perù, we have a new set of listings of toys bound to arrive in stores and retailers in the country in the short to mid term future for a number of Transformers toylines. The highlight of the post, in the images seen below, is twofold: alongside Generations Power of the Primes deluxes and the Authentics line (which we are already seeing across the globe), we also have full confirmation of the first wave of Studio Series deluxes: Bumblebee (Stryker), Stinger, Crowbar and Ratchet!

What is also noteworthy is that the listing includes both Hasbro and Takara Tomy in the line's producers, in keeping with the recent announcement of unified brand efforts. Check out the image and the wave breakdown below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Transformers: Generations Studio Series

Studio Series Deluxe Bumblebee
Studio Series Deluxe Stinger
Studio Series Deluxe Crowbar
Studio Series Deluxe Autobot Ratchet

Have we figured out whether the figures will be less or more complex?

MagicDeath wrote:Have we figured out whether the figures will be less or more complex?

They are confirmed as complex as the TLK figures.

A new Bumblebee eh? Well, here's hoping for a revamp of the '08 Camaro with the engineering of the TLK version! (on the flipside, I can't believe I'm actually excited for yet another movie Bee).

Ratchet,Stinger and Crowbar are three of The Figures I'm most curious about going into this line so it's nice to see they're the first being released.

Seriously though can we have a new Lockdown please

Prime Target wrote:Seriously though can we have a new Lockdown please

He's in Deluxe Wave 2 with a new Jazz and re-releases of Bee and Stinger from wave 1.

Although it's probably the new VW mode Bumblebee (which I'm perfectly fine with), I'd really like to see a redo of the '76 Camaro Bee from the first movie, It's the only movie Bumblebee that I don't have a figure of.

Got this from whatsapp group





looks pretty good. And 22 steps is a good sign that these will be more complex than TLK.

Looks like a heavy retool of TLK Bee and that works fine for me. Vastly superior to the original 2007 figure. On my want list for sure.


Also i love that these all come with stands/backdrops. Gonna make my shelves look awesome.

Would it be possible for you to get a better of this pic so we can see how the other bots from wave 01 look like?

Classic Bee? And not the VW version?! Fantastic! Now let's hope we get OG trilogy Bee in either his TF1, ROTF, or DOTM designs (so fans that missed out on Battle Blade or DOTM can get an OG Bee). Also, is it me, or does he look taller than TLK?

Fellow Seibertronian Bacem has found the best images yet of a figure from the upcoming Studio Series line. These images are from 變形金剛玩具吧 and were shared on the TFCN Facebook page, and show a finished Studio Series Wave 1 Deluxe Bumblebee in his package. He sports the 70s’ Camaro alt mode and appears based off the recent Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Bumblebee figure we got (also shown below for comparison). With his Crowbar wave mate also reusing a mold from Transformers: The Last Knight (Berserker in the latter's case) this lets us know that we should be expecting a similar level of complexity and quality to the Transformers: The Last Knight toys in the Studio Series line.

In the back of the box we see the afore mentioned Crowbar along with Ratchet and Stinger. We also see how Bumblebee will look like posed in front of his included backdrop, which seems to feature a police chase. Hopefully, all these toys mentioned will be shown at the upcoming 2018 Toyfair.

Check the images below and let us know if you will be picking it up!





TLK Bumblebee

Feet have the yellow on them (i painted my TLK figure to have those, I also filled in the hollow inside bits with apoxie and painted over) and the wheels look painted in the pics on the back of the box though can't see on the toy itself from that angle.

The pics on the back are CG, I guess, like on all packagings nowadays.

Lunatic Prime wrote:The pics on the back are CG, I guess, like on all packagings nowadays.

Yes but they show the feet to have the yellow on which the figure can be seen to have (which TLK figure did not) so it's not impossible that the wheels have the painted look the packaging shows.

now that's a bee i'll pick up ! on another note, who is that red character at the bottom left on the back of the box? the red muscle car from the bee movie perhaps?

NO!
I’m colorblind so I can’t answer your question.

YES!!!! That looks amazing, the paint apps look improved and they got the plasma cannon arm right!

EDIT: We can also see on the back of the box that deluxe Ratchet will come with his buzzsaw!

Yeesh, I don't need any more brazza-frakkin Bayverse Bumblebee figures.....

I have to admit when i am wrong and dangit i was. I was expecting these to be slight retools or repaints and nothing good, but this is a new figure and it looks AWESOME!

Judging from leaks, this is one of the strykers, and on the back of the box the red guy is stinger. So this will be wave 1 with bee, stinger, crowbar, and ratchet.

One wonders why you stumble around here...

It's Stinger from AOE

Now this will be a figure I'll be picking up. Habe the original from the first movie (albeit in poor condition) and have always liked that look the best out of all his modes.
