These all look awesome!
2007 Megatron! Yes!
A MUCH improved looking Shockwave plus mini-figures of Wheelie, Brains and a pratrooper! Yes!
An improved combining Mixmaster for our Devatstaor! Yes!
Frickin' huge Scavenger! Yes!
I want all four of these sets.
I'mma start saving.

Was suprised to see the paratrooper mind

Megatron, whilst I'm glad he has a 2007-based SS figure, looks a bit clumsy.
Shockwave...Hmm. The robot mode looks superb, though the colours are a bit off (they should be darker, a bit like the SS Grimlock with its dark plastic and metallic drybrushing). That alt mode though, yikes! The DOTM Voyager actually had a really nice alt mode, so this is a bit of a shame. Still, looks nice.

Megatron looks good, might get him.
Mixmaster and Demolishor/Scavenger look great, can’t wait to see the other two!
Studio Series is really shaping up to be a great line, wonder who else they’re going to revisit?

I like this one more. It's similar but more spiky and I like that. Plus doesn't have that weird bit at the front I didn't like on the DotM voyager. Also I'm just glad the robot mode doesn't look so damn flat. I liked the voyager for the time but after seeing many cool figurines of Shockwave with the more curved accurate look I am so bloody happy there's an official toy coming out way more accurate than before.
I'm still wondering how we're gonna get Frenzy though. All the 2007 main bots been done now and he's not with any. Maybe a mini-figure pack with Sam, Mikaela and some troopers like Lennox and Epps to go with that paratrooper?

I'd hate have to get shockwave jus to get Willie and Brains being that shockwave may not be as cool as he looks in this picture...
Posted by Carnivius_Prime on August 23rd, 2019 @ 11:38am CDT
Why the paratrooper missing from the Shockwave image?
Anyways yeah I love these. I gotta go now. Have fun.

Megatron looks good, I’m staying with the DOTM version but he does still look impressive. Also, his chest piece is identical to the ROTF voyager, is it possible he’s a crazy remold?
Mixmaster and Scavenger look like great updates to their previous versions, They’re both possibilities, but I may wait to get them because. . .
SHOCKWAVE!!!
That’s now 3 out of my 4 most wanted SS figures in a single wave (new Camaro Bumblebee, DOTM Soundwave, and Shockwave), the only one missing is Sentinel. Anyways, Shockwave looks awesome! Wheelie and brains are nice additions, but I actually like the paratrooper more! I never would’ve expected it but it’s so cool that they included it. Actually, looking at it, I think Shockwave is a remold of ROTF megs. The head pokes out the front, and the tread pieces in Shockwave’s legs look very similar to those on Megatron. The visible arm is a little bit of a bummer, but other than that I think it’s way better than the old voyager vehicle mode. Can’t wait to have him!

Not to sound ungrateful. All of these look amazing. I would just consider Frenzy way more important than Igor or Scorponok. Same for Scalpel for that matter.

As for the other 3, I think I will need to see the actual figures before I come to any conclusions. The renders don't do any favors for Mixmaster or Scavenger's mostly monochromatic paint jobs or faces (they could easily look better in person, see KSI Boss), I need to know if Mixmaster has a cannon mode and if I can enjoy the figure without having to see Devastator's face (I'm not doing the combiner thing), and I would really like a better look at Shockwave's size and alt mode. Right now it kinda just looks like Shockwave doing a painful yoga stretch, and the face on the front really doesn't help.
Also watch as Frenzy comes out later as part of an exclusive like Drift and the Mini-Dinobots.

Actually, now that you mention Dispensor, maybe the will release a set of all of those stupid little kitchen bots at the beginning of ROTF. Just, like, a disgusting-mutant Mini-con set or something.

Maybe tweak the new SS Bumblebee mold for the ROTF Camaro and throw in the kitchenbots, like the Drift/mini-dinobot pack.
For Frenzy, maybe we could get an exclusive icy repaint of Megatron with a Sector 7 Backdrop? That could be cool.

That's the only real thing I could think of. Icy Megatron is the only thing that is still missing from '07.
(Well, and Protoform robots, but I could REALLLLLLY go without those, personally)

Really want to see that giant Devy head mixmaster is hiding.

Also concerned we won't be getting Frenzy.

I’m delighted to see that we’re getting a new movie Shockwave, and with so many minifigs!!
Being such a massive fan of Mixmaster’s old voyager toy, I’m pretty disappointed by what I’m looking at here. But i’ll just have to keep in mind that he’s part of a much larger Combiner. He’s just not what I was expecting. I’ll wait for some in hand images, and see if he grows on me.
As for that Megatron, I’m left feeling pretty underwhelmed. He looks like such a step down after his first two (three) entries in the SS line. I fully admit that I had very negative views on Dark of the Moon Megatron, until I gambled and bought him. I was very, very happy to be so wrong about him. Turns out it was an amazing figure, and I’m glad I took a chance on it. RotF Megatron looks very simple and unadorned to me. Hopefully I turn out to be wrong again.
Posted by YRQRM0 on August 23rd, 2019 @ 3:21pm CDT
Super excited for the constructicons, though Mixmaster looks kinda weak again imo. Doesn't seem like he'll have the cannon mode that the OG had, and still looks like he might fall over a lot. He was even knocked over in the display case. I guess it's a hard design to pull off in general, let alone with hidden Devy head. I hope he's got the Devastator head and there's no partsforming with Devastator. Wouldn't it be interesting though if the third torso figure had the head and no bot mode?
Posted by EvasionModeBumblebee on August 23rd, 2019 @ 3:25pm CDT
I also think I found out what it is I like so much about the 07 Megatron - the head sculpt. Something about the MPM head sculpt looks off to me, but the SS one looks perfect.

I_AM... MEGATRON! wrote:Shouldn't 07 Megs be a leader? I distinctly remember him towering over Prime in the first movie...
I agree. although *logically* Megatron should be the same size in Robot mode in all 3 films, the constant vehicle rescans I guess make this hard. I would think he would definitely have been Leader Class size in the first film and Voyager size in movies 2 & 3 (that DotM tuck ain't that big, despite what others claim...), but I guess that's why I'm not a SS collector, I like seeing them, but don't purchase any.
I wonder how long before we see a repaint of Scavenger as Demolishor. Probably when they make Grindor from Blackout, and....and now I'm confused....
They rename *some* Decepticons that have the same body type, but for Rampage there's Red Rampage (killed by BB, but that's the toy that is out now...), and Yellow Rampage, that was actually part of Devastator in the RotF film...
Oh and so it's not all negativity, I like the little Wheelie & Brains figures that come with Shockwave. Nice way to release them

Maybe you've answered your own question already, but it looks very much like the wheels are hidden in the alt mode. Look under/behind the scoop arm in alt mode in the high-quality pics, that looks like the robot mode wheel.
Still love this guy, looks great.

I can’t help but notice that there is a Scavenger on display in the background, did the image source have pictures of him as well?

I don’t know, I think the jet mode nose might fold up to help fill out that space based on what we’re looking at. No way of telling unless we see some different angles, though.

That's driving me crazy. I don't get why they couldn't remold that piece too. I mean, I'd rather have more screen accurate than the accesory.
