He's the director, and they have the final say, that's why the bay movies are all bays fault right? Not like the faults with the films actually fell on multiple people and weren't all on bay's shoulders...

Ugh. I am sooooo sick of people blaming Mike for things that they should really be blasting Kurtzman, Orci, Kruger, and Spielberg for.

Exactly. Even Hasbro could shoulder some blame as they okayed everything still.

Not only okayed them, but insisted on some of them, right?

Some of them. Although they also insisted on some important good things. Like the franchise-essential aspect of Transformers talking in human speech.

Yes, the "experts" at Paramount actually tried to do away with that

So I picked up Jeep 'Bee the other day.

I like this figure, but it really drives home how this line (in my opinion) is the greatest argument for taking scale and throwing it out the window. The figure is just too small. Needs to be bigger, and scale be damned.

This is how I feel about Jazz. It's a good figure, but I only got him because there was a "buy one get one half off" sale and they had Ironhide. If it wasn't for that, I probably wouldn't have picked him up. Though, I have felt that a lot of SS figures have been a bit on the smaller side, even compared to Siege and Earthrise

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

It's partly because SS is trying to be scale accurate and with as many big bastards as the movieverse had in it, it had to abandon the 1:32 scale ballpark.

While picking up groceries at a local Walmart, was happy to pick up Studio series 60, Scrapper. Cant wait to get him home and lived up with the rest of the crew.

I opened up Jeep Bee last night and after transforming him back and forth a few times can safely say I am enamored with it. Really wasn't ready for how compact and gosh dang adorable the classic body jeep would look. Further more, despite some of the plastic in his limbs being of a lighter quality he holds together in robot mode far better then I anticipated

Looks like DNA design is at it again! another great upgrade kit for Studio Series Blackout, 51 Bumblebee, and 61 Sentinel Prime! I just pre-ordered it and the kit for SS44.
Here is a link to BBTS with it.

I think that these parts really add to the figures and I can not wait for mine to come in!

Whoa, that does look awesome! I'm glad I have all those guys, and the price seems really good. I think I'll be pre-ordering, thanks for the link! I really like that they included Bee's rocket launchers and Blackout's chest gun in particular.

I've been messing around with WWII Hot Rod and I really like how he looks with Bee. The mold's honestly really grown on me - it has its flaws but it's still fun! Makes me wish we had some more WWII Transformers, kinda like what we saw in the concepts for that Operation: Skyfire movie.

I've also added WWII Bee to my Studio Series customs thread - Jazz and Ironhide are coming soon!

If anything, that kit brings up an important thing that most people seem to forget: Bumblebee had some wicked shoulder cannons in the 1st movie that never really showed up again. Those were cool, and he needed to have those show up more. and most toys completely forget about it (the MPM should have had them too).

I am getting the kit, so I can have a great Sentinel with all his weapons, and for Bee to be complete. I am not using the Blackout parts, those are going to a friend

I agree on the shoulder launchers - with the recent increase in accessories I’m sure if MPM-3 was released today it would’ve included the launchers - I did see some sweet looking custom ones online somewhere a while ago, I hope some 3P makes some.

I have a hunch that a future slight remold of SS-49 will include them, it could be an ROTF version since he does have them (although only for about 1 second) in the factory save right before the forest battle.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I would be OK with an RotF Bee in both SS and MPM that had the shoulder launchers. He needs those dangit!

[Deadput]

Bet the reason we never saw the shoulder cannons again was because they were so overpowered eh?

They instead incorporated their firepower to boost Bee's plasma cannon even more

What's interesting is that the ones in that ROTF shot look bulked-up compared to the ones from the '07 movie.

I'd love to work them into Battle Blade Bumblebee if possible.

Picked up Sentinel the other day, and I'm rather quite pleased with him! In a world of flimsy, floppy, undersized, and overpriced figures, this guy actually feels solid and worth the money!


That upgrade kit though, may be a must have.

[JoeIsNotCool]

Got Sentinel and Scrapper in the mail today. I like Sentinel, but Scrapper is DEFINITELY the stand out of the pair to me. I would even go as far as to say I think he is my favourite Studio Series figure so far. I love the transformation, and he just looks great in both modes. I'm very happy to have gotten him, and he is making me consider not combining the constructicons and just keeping them in robot modes!

I just freed Scavenger from his beat-up box prison (see the Haul thread), and he's... big! My wife said he was odd-looking, but that's part of his charm. I have Legion Prime handy for scale, but... would Commander Class be better? If so, another trip to storage is in order.

I don't have any of the little Primes so I am not sure which would be best.

Scavenger is a great figure, definitely one of the best Leader class figures we have gotten in a while!

Mixmaster and Scrapper are next, but which to get first? Mixmaster is slated for a re-release, right?

[ZeroWolf]

I think legion might fit quite well. Was it a legion class that came with RotF Stratosphere? (now there's a toy I wouldn't mind owning)

Even smaller than Legion:


Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime Gallery

On the side, Stratosphere is the latest victim of GPS, in the shoulders and legs.

How many of them do you have so far?
