Fellow Seibertronian bacem has informed us of new images for next year's first two leader class toys in the Transformers Studio Series line. They are leader Shockwave and Scavenger. We previously had renders but these are stock images of the actual toys in their final deco. We see them both in their boxes and in their different modes, though the angle for Shockwave's alt mode is rather unflattering. Sadly, we do not have a good sense of their scale yet, which is rather important since the leader class has been all over the place in this line. It's still not clear just how big Scavenger is compared to his fellow movie Constructicons.

Both are due out early next year at wide retail at the standard $50 USD mark. The images come from In Demand Toys on Facebook.

I wonder what the little extra panel for Scavenger is used for, and whether it is just cosmetic for the alt mode or needed for forming Devy.

It looks to me like Scavengers wheels will be the big circular structures of Devastator's neck.

Probably alt mode bits like Scrapmetal

If that’s the case then that’s actually pretty clever!

I hope it at least goes somewhere in combined mode. It bugs me that there's no proper place in hand mode for Scrapmetal's little panel.

RotF Stratosphere came with one that seems like it'd probably be about the right scale, so you might want to check ebay or something?

Of course Scavenger is mistransformed in those stock images. The big wheels are supported by both struts each in the test shot and previous stock image:

If you look at how he is packaged, I can totally see the photographer taking one out of the box, turning the upper wheel 90 degrees and snapping away for bot mode.

Because it was Scavenger who formed Devastator's torso in the movie. Demolishor was the white one who got killed in Shanghai near the beginning of the movie.

This is Scavenger (in the middle):

It doesn't help that the original RotF red toy was called Demolishor, who was later redecoed in white. Outside of Legends Class, Scavenger never had a transforming figure... officially that is.

I scored KSI Boss and....honestly, I want to love him because the paint is so engrossing but I don't think I love him.

I feel like I've been spoiled by the new SS and the new Siege products because this is just a little touch of the old with KSI, or Kissy as he's unfortunately intuitively nicknamed. Like this engineering to me feels like the step from where Transformers were before last year to where they are now. He's almost to where the current SS series and Siege figures are buuuuut...just a hair off. Not quite there. It makes me appreciate where the toys are now that much more.

Honestly, and I feel like I can be such a stickler...but it's the lack of ankle tilts that really gets me. It takes away so much dynamic posing. And with that paint that pops and the guns every where you want to get a cool saddle stance going on and a waist tilt but you don't get that here.

It's just a little thing but I've always been a stickler for little details like that. This is one that no pun intended gives the whole toy a poor foot to stand on for me.

Otherwise his guns are awesome and the jet mode looks pretty good. I love the paint and the look I mean he does look like he could be a knight-version-Gundam-type-robot. He just looks like a cool all around emotionless robot that could level the population of an average sized world.

His crotch won't stay pegged together (that's what someone said) which is super frustrating because it doesn't take much handling for his crotch to fall apart (also, said, person, order, not that in).

But I've again got to give it positive points for the transformation design because you just don't see that flipping of limbs in quite that way every day. It's definitely unique and sweet Christmas is he ever heavily armed. The cycloptic eye looks great and I love the versatility with the TR gimmick. The cockpit even fits a Titanmaster that's awesome.

All in all though, I think it's a solid $30 I would have rather saved for Thundercracker. Two out of five gravestars. This one might need to go back and find a better forever home than he'll find here.

The lack of ankle rockers on that mold is a pity. I have to say that aside from that I love my Thundercracker, enough that if they did the mold as Skywarp I'd buy it (though I'd rather Skywarp was a different mold to satisfy my "all the Seekers are different" idea).

Got the SS Leader Prime this past week, and I love it. There's some obvious complaints, the lack of paint on the weapons and the hollow parts on the wings are kind of annoying, but it's far and away the best version of the SS Voyager Prime mold. The orange fade at the front of the truck really makes it pop, the silver "abs" really compliment the robot mode well, and even with the lack of paint, having so many accessories makes for all sorts of fun poses and playability.

Currently have him next to my DOTM voyager Megatron and Shockwave, and they all look great together, which is a nice bonus, I never got any of the DOTM versions of Optimus from that line because I thought they all looked like garbage and/or didn't scale right with the other figures. May have to find a DOTM voyager Sentinel Prime to go with them all and recreate that final battle.

I ordered SS Shatter and the new car form of Dropkick off Amazon, hopefully I get one of the better versions of Shatter. Dropkick looks like a massive improvement in robot mode, although I'll probably still keep the first version around because I love the way the helicopter mode looks.

My feelings exactly when I got Studio series Thundercracker...same mold and everything. Good toy, awesome even...but not as awesome as proper Studio series toys. Still, KSI would make a good Nitro Zeus!

Technically, it was Nitro Zeus first, although the head doesn't really match him or KSI Boss.

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nitro_Zeus#Toys

Anyone know if any 3rd party ever made a better head for him or KSI Boss that better matches their on-screen appearances? Seems like it would be a no-brainer there, but I've never seen anything.

There's a Titan master face for him on Shapeways, but that's about it AFAIK.

On the topic of SS Scavenger, I think the DOTM Cyberverse Prime would scale really good with it.

I actually only got him so my Legends headmaster Starscream could have a body instead of possessing Octane all the time... though now I use the figure as Thunder Zeus, Decepticon seeker. He's kind of a brute, a regular soldier and a background character in my Fanfiction, but the design is imposing and the toy good enough that I think he does make an excellent generic Decepticon antagonist for the Autobots to have trouble with...

Freaking railgun-looking bowcaster right arm canon and afterburner gattling killgun left arm canon. Then, you know, just gattling guns on his shoulders and rockets on his other shoulders. I feel like if you look at this guy you just instantly killdead boom, game over. I mean I can't think of many Decepticons outside of Overlord who are just stacked for slaughter like this guy.

Picked up car Shatter and car Dropkick.

Shatter shattered as expected, but Dropkick dropkicked-ass! Man what a great mold, I love how the weapon attaches in bot mold, and what a clever transformation with the wheels. Just an outstanding overall mold.

I did find something to like about Shatter. Actually a few things, the car mode is sweet. IF it would hold together, the transformation would be pretty slick here as well, but instead it becomes a frustrating game of finding where the arms or the fenders popped off to. Hopefully some floor polish might be able to help.

But I did find my favorite thing about the mold. I'll call her Motorhead.

I tried to do that with my brother’s Shatter, it helped with her vehicle kibble, but for me it somehow made the shoulders even more prone to popping off.

Dude I'm such a dork my bad :lol: Sorry about that!

Hey guys does the leader class Prime combine with Jetfire? I know one Prime did not, was then modified, but I've gotten them all kind of mixed up. Because if leader Prime has the trailer and also combines with Jetfire I'd imagine that's 110% the one I'd get if I were to only get one.

Yes it does. Though, the connection for the ab piece from Jetfire and my copy of Leader Prime is scarily tight. No one else seems to have this issue though, so it should be fine ;)^

Here's a rundown if it helps:

#32: retooled from #05 to combine with Jetfire, lighter colors
#38: Bumblebee version
#44: redeco of #32, comes with trailer. Can combine with Jetfire.

Dropkick is still really good. 2nd best con and 2nd best carformer of the entire line

Who's the best carformer then? Jazz? And who's your SS figure of the year then? I really like that heli drift.

Longhaul has dissapointed me with that rather weak transformation and not hiding that robot kibble well. I preffer his previous toy with all the added functionality, like the fact that it can actually be played with as a dump truck.

In my opinion the best carformer in SS is either Sideswipe or the original Bumblebee. I know the original Bee wasn't perfect, but I lucked out on QC with him and Sideswipe, but every other carformer I've gotten from SS has had loose parts or wouldn't stay tabbed together in vehicle mode. I am biased toward Sideswipe though just because the ROTF figure was one of the first movie toys that I got and loved to mess with.

How does the trailer look in vehicle mode? Are there issues with the panels lining up without any problems? And what about the paint job? In photos it looked kinda dull.

Man, waiting on Overload and Scrapper is going to be tough. I actually haven't transformed any of my 4 SS devy components into the limb modes yet. I actually did the same thing in the beginning of Combiner Wars. I'll enjoy each figure in bot and alt mode until I have all the components, then I'll check out the combined mode for all of them at once.

It kind of keeps a little bit of excitement left for figures I already have knowing there is still more fun to be discovered. I will admit, it was hard not combining Hightower and Scrapmetal into an arm and sticking it on Bruticus for some fun like someone else showed previously. But Devy's time will come.
Odd that I am impatient enough to pay full price on most of my collection (i.e. getting titans when they first come out), but for some reason I have no problem waiting for a complete combiner before transforming the components into combined mode forms.

It just feels more real to me. Now we have connected pieces to Devastator!


Man, waiting on Overload and Scrapper is going to be tough. I actually haven't transformed any of my 4 SS devy components into the limb modes yet. I actually did the same thing in the beginning of Combiner Wars. I'll enjoy each figure in bot and alt mode until I have all the components, then I'll check out the combined mode for all of them at once.

It kind of keeps a little bit of excitement left for figures I already have knowing there is still more fun to be discovered.

I wouldn't call it odd. :) You want to make sure you've got them all, first. That's important, and then you want to draw out the wonder.

For me, getting Mixmaster and Scavenger is when it's really gonna kick it into gear. I don't know precisely how they'll hook up-well, no one does yet :lol: -but from the instructions it looks like Hightower will be able to hook up to Scavenger, which means with Mixmaster we'll have most of the upper body. And that's when the fun will get started and we'll get an idea of how huge he'll be.

Dropkick is still really good. 2nd best con and 2nd best carformer of the entire line


Who's the best carformer then? Jazz? And who's your SS figure of the year then? I really like that heli drift.

Longhaul has dissapointed me with that rather weak transformation and not hiding that robot kibble well. I preffer his previous toy with all the added functionality, like the fact that it can actually be played with as a dump truck.

Jazz is the best Carformer yes. That guy is so fun and so perfect. He is the figure of the line for me.

SS figure of the year is still fairly easily Rampage. But Leader Prime and Dropkick are not far off. this year really has only given me 1 dud, and that was Shatter.

Because if leader Prime has the trailer and also combines with Jetfire I'd imagine that's 110% the one I'd get if I were to only get one.

Yes it does. Though, the connection for the ab piece from Jetfire and my copy of Leader Prime is scarily tight. No one else seems to have this issue though, so it should be fine ;)^


Here's a rundown if it helps:

#05: original Voyager release
#32: retooled from #05 to combine with Jetfire, lighter colors
#38: Bumblebee version
#44: redeco of #32, comes with trailer. Can combine with Jetfire.

#44 definitely ended up being the best. That paint job on the main robot is so good
How does the trailer look in vehicle mode? Are there issues with the panels lining up without any problems? And what about the paint job? In photos it looked kinda dull.

Here are some images. I don't have any panel problems, it is bland, but it's a trailer, so i can live with that being dull. The robot mode and the playability help it win out despite the flaws

Thanks, D-Max! Just the comparison I was looking for. I bought SS44, but have yet to open him up. Waiting for my next day off work so I can fully immerse myself in the experience. :lol:

Once you get past the initial few issues he has, it really is a good set. It has a good figure, an optional powerup mode, and after that a battle station. It is an all-inclusive set!

Thanks to Snakasblog and tontonreviews, we have a new video review and in-hand images for the upcoming Transformers Studio Series WWII Hot Rod!

Hot Rod is a retool of WWII Bumblebee, sporting a new chest, shoulders, head, and weapon. The new tooling brings the figure closer to his appearance in the World War II flashback from The Last Knight movie, though the alt mode is left with the same tooling as Bumblebee, leaving neither looking like their WWII alternate modes. Hot Rod also comes with a new accessory in the form of his Time Gun, which plugs into the top of the car mode, which sadly leaves a gap in the windshield area where Bumblebee's hammer would go.

Hot Rod is due out in January of 2020, where you can then pair him up with his fellow Nazi Hunter Bumblebee, forming a deadly pair.

Check out the images and review below, and let us know what you think of him in the comments section below!

If the vehicle mode holds together better than Bee I'm in.

The review doesn’t show it, but at least according to the renders Hot rod’s gun can be stored the same way Bee’s hammer is.

I think he looks ok but I won’t be picking him up. Hopefully, though, this means we’ll be getting reviews for Bumblebee, Soundwave, and the Arcees soon!

I do as well, which is funny, as I really don't care for WWII Bee at all.

I'm in it for these 2, as well, but there had better be a Bulldog in the future.

Considering these bodies existed for a 20 second flashback, I wouldn't doubt an eventual Bulldog.

I personally am really hoping for a Leader Infernocus though

I was hoping he'd have a little beret and a voice chip: "We all sound like Maurice Chevalier...uhhh-huhhh-huuhhhh".
