For those who cannot wait to see more from the upcoming Studio Series line, which features new toys of characters from all across the Transformers Live Action films, you are in luck. While we had our first really good look at the upcoming voyager Optimus Prime a few days ago, we now have an image of him in his packaging which gives us our best look at him yet. We see from this that it is without a doubt a new mold. This is number 05 in the series and is part of the first wave of voyager figures along with Starscream. The image was found on the Snakas blog.
The packaging also gives us some new info. Firstly, we see the generations logo. This may not mean that they are part of the "Generations" line per se, but more of an indicator as to the type of toy it is. That was previously done for the Age of Extinction film, where the toys were labelled as being "Generations" as well. While it might be confusing, it seems Hasbro deems it less confusing than their latest try at differentiating these toys with one steps and the like with their "Premier Edition" branding, which did indeed infer a comparison. So now it's back to "Generations" to let you now you can expect the same type of complexity.
The other bit of interest comes from the Takara logo on the box. This further solidifies the idea that, as with The Last Knight toyline, the Takara and Hasbro products will be identical for the most part, including the packaging (which Takara would then add a sticker to). This was originally hinted at by the lower Japanese prices we saw for this line compared to other Takara Transformers products. The prices for this line in Japan was the same for the Transformers: The Last Knight Toyline.
So seeing this trend of Takara and Hasbro releasing the very same products in both their markets, how do you feel? Does this further contribute to the notion that both companies truly feel the extra sales from collectors importing (either Japanese fans importing Hasbro or westerners importing Takara) toys from outside their market are not substantial compared to the savings of standardized toys and packaging? Or do both companies simply focus on their own markets without giving a thought to any activity happening outside it, be it beneficial or not?

That packaging also labels Optimus as specifically ROTF Optimus.

From what I can see the mold looks really pretty darn cool but the colour layout is off. Still very interested in seeing more and hey Toyhax will probably do a stickers set for fixing any flames and such like with the terrible basic colour layout of Hasbro's AoE Evasion Prime and TLK Prime.

Prime looks ok so far, were going to need better in hand pics to know for sure but most movie Prime toys are decent sometimes not accurate like the Movie 1 leader but they were still decent toys.

Deluxe Leadfoot already exists. I paid up the ass to get the original, but it appears they now have a quality KO that does the deed. It has the Target paint apps of the unreleased Hasbro version and the head painted silver which looks way better than the original (unpainted) which goes for over $300 now.

Im with you on Hatchet. Ive been using the small version as a stand in with berserker as Crowbar to have the trio.

Crowbar looks like a good retool. I loved the designs of the Dreads and Wreckers. Now we just need Leadfoot and Hatchet in deluxe scale!

Is that a thumb on the box? I am really hoping not, or it is a big thumb, because that makes Prime look pretty small

Everything looks pretty good on this figure, but the chest is crap! The pecs are way too spread apart making it look like his chest his open. I'm already having doubts about this, so that's not great.

The chest might not be transformed properly. That, or it's meant to show the Matrix of Leadership like Battle Blades did.

Another Optimus, another cheat. Granted MP Movie Prime and Powermaster were legit with the windshield chest, but so many designers are just cheating the chest piece, and that singlehandedly makes it a pass for me.

How do you know it's a cheat chest?
It looks like actual windows and panels to me.

How can you even tell? That photo has horrible lighting and is low quality overall and you can't even see what color the windows are.
The chest still does not look fake at all not compared to say this.
Edit: I thought you meant the actual windows I see you mean the window frames or whatever their called I can see what you mean but Optimus Prime always has the red chest in robot mode
Look at the robot cgi and then the actual truck
Anyways it could also be a prototype on the set and the actual in package figure is the actual figure color, or the red parts sit under the blue if that makes any sense.

To me, it looks like a cheat in the same way Evasion Prime had a cheat that looked like legit windows. It almost looks like there is middle hinge in his chest. Maybe the arms and windows fold into each other?

We have a long and detailed list of most (if not all) of the figures set to be released in the upcoming Transformers Movie Studio Series. This expansive list covers the UPC codes, the product codes, and names of the figures. Some of the characters listed are quite surprising, and some potentially are codenames for other characters, similar to the way the Last Knight toyline was run. This will really be an interesting line to follow, as it’s quite unprecedented for a Generations/Thrilling 30-style line based on movie figures. This is thanks to Mr. Chaos over at TFW2005.

Would be nice to also get Leadfoot, a proper armored deluxe Roadbuster and a release of that DOTM Blaster which was cancelled along with a Hasbro release of DOTM Skywarp.
Oh and Dino as well but that's not happening any time soon thanks to Ferrari.

I agree with X, I really want Hatchet to be in that list. I also want the Leadfoot, armored Roadbuster, and Mirage to come from this line.
I was excited to see Ironhide's name there too

Voyager Megatron, from the upcoming 2018 Studio Series Transformers toyline, was one of the first toys we ever had solid proof of. We had a few images form Weibo but they were either small or blackened out in certain parts (as can be seen below). But now, we have the same image of the back of the box, also from Weibo, that shows the toy not obstructed by neither a black marker or a watermark, letting you get your best look yet at the figure.
For those unaware, this is a new voyager class figure of movie Meagtron in his Revenge of the Fallen body. It is part of the Studio Series line, a toyline that will feature Transformers from all across the different live action films, from the 2007 movie and even the newest Bumblebee movie. It also seems to be the way that Hasbro will be releasing the more traditional Transformers figures for the Bumblebee film instead of them appearing in a line just for that film. The 2018 Bumblebee movie line will instead feature the toys that are either simpler or gimmick based. Since Age of Extinction, Hasbro has tried to distinguish the toys that would interest collectors from the toys meant only for children and the Studio Series line will be used this time for this distinction. The figures should be at the same price points as the Transformers: The Last Knight Premier Edtion toys.
Enjoy the new image of Megatron below and let us know what you think!

Legit me right now with this new Megatron:
I can only hope that the 2007 design gets a redo of some kind too with some of the more modern engineering. This new one is awesome though and I can't wait to get my talons on it.
Well, I did it for you. So there is that. XD

Thank you.
it's fun cos I also collect Mega Bloks/Construx stuff and often use them with my Transformers cos they're a good scale and there's two Futurama figures out now (only in US at moment and I'm in UK), one of which is Fry and he has the money as one of his accessories. I needs to get that as well as that Megatron.

So basically its what they should have done the first time...
I never understood why the ROTF version had wings and a crab shell that it didnt need to make a tank. Almost as if they did it on purpose to emulate something else nobody ever wanted. (Like MP-03 hip kibble)
Well ive committed to buying the most premium version of every voyager Megatron so ill be happy to own this one too. Hopefully silver paint and no ugly light grey plastic.

Since Hasbro dipped CW Megs in a bucket of paint, I'm hoping they'll do the same for this Megatron, or at least use metallic plastic.

When is he due out in stores? Has that been announced?
I really like how it improves on both RotF figures since the Leader wasn't movie accurate (well, it was when it was designed but then the film model designers updated the CGI model when making the film) and the voyager had the extra kibbly from having wings and such put in. This one nails the on-screen design about as close as an affordable voyager sized figure can from what I can see. Liking that they've got the feet formed by splitting the tank tread bits this time as it should be. And yeah I'm hoping for some silver on him. If not I'll get the paint and/or sharpie out again.

No.
Also, for those asking for silver paint, was he silver in the film? It never seemed that way to me.

Oh man! This Megatron figure looks grea... wait its a Voyager?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Yeah I was hoping it was a Leader Class, along with Brawl and Starscream (but I knew they were Voyagers).
But yeah this toyline looks good so far (besides Optimus and Ratchet).

Megatron is looking fantastic... on the box. Definitely one I'll be buying if the final figure looks anything like that, but I'll reserve my excitement for until after we've seen him in-hand.

This Megatron 
looks so SWEET 
.......not sweet as in Hello Kitty is sweet, but sweet as in WICKED COOL TIGHT SWEET....or in other words AWESOME!!!!! 
Way better then the Leader Class from the ROTF, which I own, and it seems nicer then the Voyager from ROTF, which I don't own so I can't really judge.
This line is gonna rock.

To those who say they want him covered in silver paint..... wait for him to release, then spray paint him. that's what i do if i really want my transformers to be silver. thats also why i am never as bothered as others when it comes to paint. i see decent paint but some stuff missing, and think "hm... i'll just find the best shade of paint and get to work i guess"

From the same Weibo user that brought us the most recent news regarding Power of the Primes Blastoff, we also have new Studio Series images to share with you today. The new images center on the upcoming voyager class figures Optimus Prime and Starscream. While the design is not the main image seen on the front of the box, it is the design that has lately been shown on the side of the packaging, complete with the Transformers logo and the "Studio Series" tagline. The packaging art seen shows Starscream and Optimus Prime in the same poses that they have on the front of their packaging.
Both figures are part of the upcoming Studio Series line, which will be a Generations styled line for the live action figures. While the line has not been fully and officially revealed yet, we can tell you that we should be close to the official announcement, complete with stock images of the new figures.
Check out the new images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

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.

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.
