New Transformers Studio Series Listings Leaked

HOW?
WHEN?

Did they cameo'd for half a second in the intro of the Bee Movie, or is it a preview for the next movie?

Studio Series is getting some of the characters from the animated 86 movie.

The last time they released the five Dinobots in POTP they all had a "Dinobot" prefix in their names on the packaging (e.g. - "Dinobot Snarl", "Dinobot Swoop", "Dinobot Grimlock", even "Dinobot Slash"). It would make sense for new listings to reflect that.

And it wasn't just a combiner subgroup thing since, while four of the five Terrorcons likewise had a "Terrorcon" prefix in their package names, Sinnertwin did not.

Fair argument, my counter is that there is enough room in the listing to type out "Dinobot" instead of just "Dino" if this was the case. After all, they fit "Dlx Kup" on there. Same amount of space as "Dinobot" They also wrote out "Bumblebee" which is more letters than "Dinobot" as well, so I think it's Dino for sure.

I wonder how faithful the Studio Series will be in representing The Movie roster though IE Four Dinobots and one Gestalt.

This, I did link to the past article which confirmed Grimlock and Wheelie. I thought you'd commented on the talk about the 86 movie being incorporated then Kanrabat?

Nemesis Primal wrote:Speaking of Apollux, and more on-topic for this thread, from a post a half-hour ago they have apparently seen in terms of SS 86 stuff:
Voyager Scourge
Voyager Hot Rod, with saw and possibly flip-down visor
Kup with Energon goodies, presumably the Deluxe one in those earlier listings
Potential Leader Slag with Daniel

And given how much of the prominent movie cast is now here between various leaks, I'm assuming that that Cyclonus we saw a bit ago with ER Thrust is probably for SS 86 too.

-Kanrabat- wrote:But the 1986 cast? Huh? I thought the Generations WFC trilogy was basically that? Will the SS '86 Movie figures be G1/Bayverse hybrids like for the Cybertron part of the Bee Movie, or will the SS line become Generations 2.0? As in, having TWO Generations lines at the same time on shelves?

'86 is still A Transformers Movie. Which would still fall within the idea of the SS line. That said, to only include active cast members. The line would be relatively small.

Forget all the corpses Season one and two Autobots and the off camera/non-speaking Decepticons. Now look at your roster...

-Kanrabat- wrote:Interesting.
And even more so if they create a brand new Arcee mold right after the ER version.

So, Wheelie would be the '86 version? If Kup is there as well, I'll be looking forward them for this display.

-An updated VW Bumblebee

-Something cool for the 20th Anniversary of 2001 RiD(late if consider hte japanese air date but still it would be cool)

-2021 is also an anniversary for Beast Wars.They should do something big,since we didn't have an celebration last time.

-An entire wave for Transformers Armada 20th anniversary for 2022.

-A new movie in between.

Day 193 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I'm living in an ideal world as far as Hasbro is concerned, for the most part.

Still, 86 movie toys are my whole thing, so I may be all-in on this. Despite having so many recent good movie-based toys. Titans Blur and Kup are alright.

This move is still baffling, though. An 86 movie line should probably include Prime and .... that'd be Earthrise Prime. And then there's Alicon, Arcee, Springer, and Ultra Magnus too.

M. Spector wrote:The thing that puzzles me is that we Earthrise/the third WFC chapter happening about the same time these 86 movie SS figures are coming out, so that means there probably won't be any overlap. For example we get Kup in SS so that means there won't also be an toy of him in the other line? Right?!

Who's to say they won't be in there somehow. Those listing are for Deluxe class figures, right? Springer and Ultra Magnus aren't going to be deluxe sized.

Design a set of armor that fits around ER Prime instead of having Siege Ultra Beer-Gut with his weird proportions

How to envision what The '86 Movie Studio Series would look like. What is the ethos this line is based on? Look to the original Bayformers figures, then their SS counterparts.

Tuned Agent wrote: That Cyclonus had some of the 3mm blast effect pegs on it, so if it is an upcoming SS figure, then the SS86 figures are definitely meant to co-exist with WFC.

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Given how upended this year has been already. If there was even remote chance of something to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Car Robots, I don't think that's happening now.

ZeroWolf wrote:Actually one thing that WfC has in common with SS is that both falls under the Generations banner. Just that recently generations became short hand for G1.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Regarding the unconfirmed leaks, the ones not mentioned in the news article...
Hot Rod, I'll have to wait and see. I'm certain he's a Voyager for the sake of accessories. But the TR/Legends version is so good already, and what we really need is a new Leader-class Rodimus Prime with a Voyager-height robot and a camper shell battle station. Hopefully there will be word of that soon.
Scourge, I'm iffy about him being a Voyager because that's prohibitive for army-building.
Rodimus Prime and Wreck-Gar are the two designs that need a revisit the most.

I'll be interested to see how they do Dino.

I wouldn't really think a standardised peg to be indicative of anything at the moment. Lets be honest as well. HasTak aren't going to re-invent the wheel with Studio Series. They aren't going to completely overhaul the molds they've been using up until now. I wouldn't expect a Supreme Cheetor here, given they are two thirds into the current line.
