Shockwave being a Voyager shocks me, I just don't know how they pull that off if it's the Siege leader figure. So it's most like some other garbage version from a lackluster source.

They could just sell the base figure without the armor pieces

[SpaceEagle]

I wonder if it's a big spoiler for Megs and Scorpy appearing in RotB. Either Predacon Megs or the unused BB design (or likewise a spoiler for that particular Megs appearing). Or hell, maybe even both Megs appear.

That or it's probably just simply not it and could just be referring to something else. Fun!

TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES CORE MOHAWK

While I was never that keen on Mohawk as a character, if a Core 2007 Movie Frenzy never happens, I suppose I could get this as something of a stand-in. This listing also gives me hope that Onslaught could still happen.

TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX SUNSTREAKE

Assuming this is 1986 Movie Sunstreaker, I was hoping something like this would happen. I missed out on Earthrise Sunstreaker when it was new, and the after-market prices for it are ridiculous now, so a new version that perhaps fixes the original's two different yellows problem would be fantastic. Once I have this, Ratchet, and that Buzzworthy Bumblebee Hound we saw a while ago (assuming it's still on the way), I'll have my G1 Autobot shelf to a point where I'd be pretty much happy with it.

[Sabrblade]

Wait, if the Deluxe "Scorpinock" is rumored to be Predacon Scorponok, is it possible that the Leader Megatron is actually Predacon Megatron as well?

Why would Beast Wars characters be in the Studio Series Line?

Because Beast Wars characters are in Rise of the Beasts? We've already seen Studio Series Airazor and Cheetor, remember.

Yeah, but Scorponok and Megatron aren't, are they? I thought the point of SS was movie characters.

We don't yet know of every single Transformer who is to appear in the movie. We never know that before the release of any TF movie.

But that would require the severe alteration of the mold in order to get an alt mode. Siege Shockwave requires the extra pieces to complete his alt mode, even if it is a really pointless and dumb design that we never actually saw in the show.

Recall that Shockwave was one of the candidates for the Power of the Primes fanvote, which had he won would have seen him gain a super mode like the other Leader class toys of that line. Chances are the armored up form of Siege Shockwave was carried over from the concept of POTP Shockwave.

And at least Takara used it as an upgrade for Cartoon Shockwave.

There are new rumours afoot for upcoming 2024 Transformers toys. This time however, we don't have confirmation from shipment records or vendor lists so there is no consensus on which particular version of a character the list below may be referring to, so that has been removed to avoid confusion. We will update if this list turns out to either be fake or further confirmed. The list was first published on the TFW2005 website.

TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES CORE MOHAWK
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES CORE RUMBLE
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES CORE STARSCREAM
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX SCORPINOCK
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX SUNSTREAKE
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX WFC SIDESWIPE (High Moon game)
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES VOY WFC STARSCREAM (High Moon game)
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES VOY 86 SCRAPHEAP
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES VOY SHOCKWAVE
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES LDR MEGATRON
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES LDR TF86 SWOOP

And yes, while Hasbro did specify that Swoop would be the same size as the other Dinobots on Instagram, some fans were still being worrywarts, so hopefully this list helps in that regard.

Please let that Sunstreaker be SS-86 and be using the Earthrise mold... pretty please....

Shockwave is probably a Bumblebee movie full sized voyager shockwave., not SS-86 or siege minus the accessories.

Megatron is a bit strange. We already have all Megatron's from the movies. Unless they are finally doing Last Knight figures, and it's an update of the Jet Megs.

Which still was the best thing to come out of that toyline.

[SpaceEagle]

I could very much see it being a listing for TLK Megs due to Mohawk's presence there.
Would be nice to have, one of the few designs I liked from that film and the old Voyager/Leader toy could use an update.

You're right. Mohawk is from TLK, so it makes sense Megs might be too.

The "old" Voyager still holds up fairly nicely I'd say, but I would not be opposed to an update that hides the feet better.

Yeah, I still think the Voyager ain't bad by any means, I just think a lil sprinkle of extra engineering to update it would be neato!
Especially with a premium paint job that Studio Series could offer - I didn't find either previous toy lacking but it'd likewise be neat.

I'd very much like for that to be the case, but I think SS TLK Megatron would be a Voyager since Megatron is a little shorter in TLK. With improved engineering and articulation though, it could be possible. Maybe a Staff accessory too?

Actually, including Starscream's head on a TR Headmaster port (like SS DOTM Thundercracker's head) would be an awesome pack-in accessory for either TLK Megatron or Daytrader!

The original listing indicates this leader Megatron as MV6 (Bumblebee), but it's thought to be a typo for 86 so I suppose the identity is up in the air. TLK Would definitely be my pick!

Yeah, I assumed the Leader budget would go towards engineering and paint operations, accessories like that would also be quite nice! I know that how it went for Shockwave who is "Voyager sized" but had a beefy cannon along with other lil additions.

(I also think the Screamer head would be a very fun addition, it'd match up with DotM Megs getting Igor too!)

No he doesn't. The base figure just turns into his normal gun mode without the extra pieces

You are both saying the same thing.

Thanks to JTPrime17, we have confirmation of yesterday's Studio Series listings, including the EAN number and Product number. Now, please read this attentively: the designation of the characters is said to be erroneous at times. Meaning that "MV6" can reffer to "86" as we saw with 86 Wheelie which was listed for vendor sites as "Transformers Generation Studio Series Core Tf7 Wheelie 5010994112134". Also the WFC refers to the High Moon games. Please keep that in mind when looking at this list.

Oooooo, a RED figure of Prime Starscream? That's pretty neato.

[william-james88]

Wait, if the Deluxe "Scorpinock" is rumored to be Predacon Scorponok, is it possible that the Leader Megatron is actually Predacon Megatron as well?

It's not rumored, I just wildly speculated and wishfulfilled because it says MV7 on the listing, which is Rise of the Beasts, lol. Could just be a 2007 misnomer or something. Megatron says MV6, so he's either based on Bumblebee concept art, or SS86 miscategorized, like it happened with Wheelie.

Or he can be something else entirely, like MV5. All we know is that we can't trust the "prefix" given if it's "MV". We don't know if it's automatically going to be SS86 instead. We can assume that with Sunstreaker, since there is no Bayverse alternative, but I wouldn't assume anything for Megatron yet. Also, I updated the full listings here now that we have confirmation of vendor codes.

[Till-all-R1]

Please let that Sunstreaker be SS-86 and be using the Earthrise mold... pretty please....

Curiously, has Sunstreaker ever appeared in modern animation? I don't know much about any of these shows but what few episodes I've seen of each I don't recall ever seeing a version of Sunstreaker.
So it would seem to be ER version. However in the recent updated info it's listed as MV6, which I would take to mean the 6th Movie but I also don't recall a Sunstreaker in that either. Other Bots like sweep clearly indicate 86, so I'm not gonna get my hopes up and we've got a long time to wait.

There was also the rumor Sunstreaker may be packed with Hound, so if that's not the case it opens up that to more speculation as to who it might be.

Now that you mention it, nope, no Sunstreaker has appeared onscreen in any Transformers cartoon since the 1980s.

If Grimlock was the Action Master version I might be interested. But there's probably a 1% chance it is.

Yeah that's something that came up with my Top 5 Sunstreaker list. Unlike other G1 characters, who I'd argue are as prominant as him, he didn't turn into a legacy character. No Bayverse nameslap, nothing in Unicron trilogy or Alligned, ect, so very few toys.

I guess Hot Shot kinda took over his role of "self-absorbed yellow Autobot sportscar", like how he also took over both Bumblebee and Hot Rod's roles of "kid-appeal Autobot" and "cocky young Autobot car with untapped leadership potential" for a time, too.

[Bounti76]

Coming to us once again from PrimeVsPrime, we have a new review for an upcoming (though yet to be officially revealed) new figure, that of Studio Series 86 Leader Class Snarl. The fourth of the five Dinobots, Snarl is looking very accurate to his extremely brief appearance in the 1986 movie, and includes his sword as an accessory. His transformation, as PvP points out, is very reminiscent of his cartoon transformation, and includes some neat tricks. Check out some screenshots from the video, including comparisons with his most recent new figure, 2018's Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Snarl, as well as some sweet shots with the rest of the Dinobots released so far. And let's not forget the video itself!













So what do you think about this latest addition to the Leader Class Dinobots? Yay or nay? Let us know below!

[Barricade.it]

Does He really have that crack all over the head?

[Bounti76]

Does He really have that crack all over the head?

Just like his G1 toy, the dino head splits in half when he's in robot mode. PvP's copy looks like it's got issues staying tabbed together.
