While we had early leaks of what looked like new movie toys, there were a lot of details missing and no sense of scale or if it was actually happening or cancelled. However, we now have better information regarding the once rumoured toys along with strong evidence showing that they will come out and more importantly, giving us an idea of their scale.
Yesterday, we were given listings for upcoming toys that match perfectly with the previous rumours of what could be included in the 2018 movie line, here are the listings:
Now this lines up very well with the previously rumoured toys, even those that had odd dates, confirming that this is the same line as the one that will include the Megatron and Brawl we previously saw. These listings are also our very best bet at determining the class/scale of the previously rumoured toys.
By looking at the clear distinctions in price points, we have 3 classes, Deluxe, Voyager and Leader.
Using that and all the info we previously saw, we end up with this as the contents of the 2018 Movie Toyline (known so far):
Deluxe
Bumblebee
Decepticon Stinger
Decepticon Crowbar
Ratchet
Jazz
Lockdown
Voyager
Starscream
Optimus
Megatron
Brawl
Ironhide
Starscream (different deco)
Leader
Blackout
Grimlock
From what we now know, the toys in this line should come with bases and backdrops.

Ok phew. Am liking these size classes for the characters. Blackout and Grimlock totally should be bigger than everyone else and that's great.

Wonder how the Hasbro versions will be priced...
The lower price point is a little concerning, because it would imply they cheaped out somewhere to lower it. Smaller molds, less paint apps, less complex, etc. The Brawl and Megatron we've seen so far didn't seem very simplistic, so I'm going to assume the sizes shrunk AGAIN, but maybe they'll surprise me.

And and we were suppose to get two more box sets from titans return and the final wave of animated was always gonna find release or the final line of dark of the moon would get put out.
I’ll wait and see. Things change and leaks aren’t always true.
Remember the leak about the beast wars box sets someone who claimed to work at amazon and “saw everything” like Optimus form apeface and Megatron from snapdragon only for POTP to reveal none of that was true because the headmaster gimmick has been replaced by combiners again. God that was an amazing amount of trolling.

Ok but... we've literally seen images of the packaging style for the Hasbro side of this line. That's how we know, at least for the Hasbro releases, that they'll come with display bases and backgrounds. This isn't some baseless rumor.

I looked more into it and I think we are in the clear for it being the normal sizes we are used to. My comparison to previous listings was to the MB line and that line has a waaaay higher SRP. Which is odd since I bought Voyager Megs and Soundwave from the MB line for the same price as Voyager LG Lio Convoy. But the voyagers are priced the same as the voyagers in Takara's TLK line and the leaders are priced the same as the SRP for the standard TLK leaders in Japan (like Dragonstorm) so its basically the same quality as TLK that we can expect.
I changed my article accordingly.

Sweet, thanks for the update! A leader Grimlock and Blackout of the same quality as leader Megs from the TLK line would be pretty awesome. Hopefully they don't have the same QA issues the TLK line had, though (eye's Dragonstorm's heads).

Okay, but those examples you're talking about are single waves or box sets. I'm talking about an entire line. Even if Hasbro for whatever reason doesn't end up releasing this line, we still know they're planning to for certain, which contradicts your original point, which was that you didn't think they were even planning to.

As it currently stands, we have all the reasons to believe Hasbro is planning on releasing this line in some shape or form. The examples given to the contrary do not detract from that, as the initial thoughts and hopes concerning them were similar to the ones we have for this line. We only knew Hasbro changed plans when they were either not released (Animated and Movie Trilogy), or not as originally thought (The Titans Return boxsets).
Just be patient and wait for further details before drawing conclusions

Hasbro has been known not to release one or two toys here and there, but not a whole line, and one that they financed and designed. I am 100% sure we will see more of these toys soon, hence why I wrote my article as a reference while we wait for better pics.
I will say this though, I do not expect any of these to be "mini MPs", as i have heard thrown around on the web by hopeful fans. These will be the same quality as the TLK toys. And that leader Blackout looked to be on the simpler side on the original images we got. It will be a fun scale, but I am not expecting anything mindblowing. It really will be like the leaders we got in AOE and TLK.

I feel like a lot of these are going to be them making the figures they wanted to make the first time around, but not having time thanks to the slimmer margin between design phase and release compared to the regular main line stuff. Plus modern engineering on some of the older guys like Starscream and Brawl. Blackout I still remain skeptical of with what looks to be thick arms and square feet.

New updated thread title, I think a recap is in order. The info here is mostly from the TakaraTomy listings, supplemented with info from the PotP leaks. The numbering comes from the Japanese listings, but they should reflect the numbering scheme found on the recent Hasbro Voyager Brawl and Megatron leaks. Like all Movie lines, Japan and the US should follow roughly the same release order. Finally, these are mere educated guesses, as such they're not set in stone until info comes from Hasbro or TakaraTomy direct.
Deluxe Class Wave 1
01 Bumblebee (TF6)
02 Stinger (TF4)
03 Crowbar (TF3)
04 Ratchet (TF1)
Voyager Class Wave 1
05 Optimus Prime (TF2)
06 Starscream (TF1)
Leader Class Wave 1
07 Grimlock (TF4)
08 Blackout (TF1)
Voyager Class Wave 2
12 Brawl (TF1)
13 Megatron (TF2)
Deluxe Class Wave 1
01 Bumblebee (TF6)
02 Stinger (TF4)
03 Crowbar (TF3)

You know fellas, it always felt weird for me that Movie Prime's first design is usually referred to as TF1 or TF2 when it remains unchanged until DOTM. That's probably just me, though.

We have another couple of images courtesy of regular Weibo source user tf-factory /
淘宝店变形金刚改造工厂, featuring the same two characters we first saw when the new Transformers movie-verse toyline was first teased: Brawl and Megatron, who appear to respectively occupy the numbers 12 and 13. While we have yet to receive proper confirmation that these are indeed all part of the Studio Series line, we do have crosspromotion for an Optimus Prime (05) and a Starscream (06) in the same line too, all of which will also include a cardboard backdrop (probably the box itself, much like the case for the Transformers Prime First Edition figures and their little cardboard stand) with the words 'Studio Series' printed on it. Check out the grainy images of the two Decepticons below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

That doesn't appear to be the previous Voyager Battle Blades Optimus Prime. The tiny blurry image makes the chest look weird, but the seemingly more compact back kibble is interesting and the tire is now behind his leg instead of on the side of his hip which isn't very accurate. It could be a good figure, but I can't see it being better than the BB version.
Well the numbering is a little clear now.
Wave 1
Deluxe 01(?) Bumblebee (TF6Stryker2), 02(?) Stinger, 03(?) Ratchet, 04(?) Crowbar
Voyager 05 Optimus Prime, 06 Starscream
Leader 07(?) Grimlock
But then wave 2 gets confusing because in order to get to 12 and 13 they'd have to re-number Bee and Stinger in their re-release which is a very strange way of doing things. Bee has the same product ID of E0739 so it seems like it'll be an identical figure, as opposed to Starscream who's two figures start with E0 and E1 from what can be seen in the old leak to indicate the TF1 and TF2 versions. Maybe those two figures will be replaced in the final lineup with two other figures, they're the only ones being released twice in the series that we know of with no changes.

And number 08 is Blackout.
Numbers 09, 10 and 11 are unaccounted for, but two of them will be taken up by the Wave 2 Deluxes Jazz and Lockdown. The final one is most likely the sole Wave 2 Leader, or the Wave 3 Voyager Ironhide that's released out of order.

And 08? Blackout will likely be 14, the same line separating him and Grimlock in the leaked image is the one used to separate waves in the other images. I think the wave numbers were probably cut off from the top of the image. It would be weird if wave 3 Ironhide and wave 4 TF2 Starscream were 10 and 11.

The tiny blurry image makes the chest look weird, but the seemingly more compact back kibble is interesting and the tire is now behind his leg instead of on the side of his hip which isn't very accurate. It could be a good figure, but I can't see it being better than the BB version.
Well the numbering is a little clear now.
Wave 1
Deluxe 01(?) Bumblebee (TF6Stryker2), 02(?) Stinger, 03(?) Ratchet, 04(?) Crowbar
Voyager 05 Optimus Prime, 06 Starscream
Leader 07(?) Grimlock
But then wave 2 gets confusing because in order to get to 12 and 13 they'd have to re-number Bee and Stinger in their re-release which is a very strange way of doing things. Bee has the same product ID of E0739 so it seems like it'll be an identical figure, as opposed to Starscream who's two figures start with E0 and E1 from what can be seen in the old leak to indicate the TF1 and TF2 versions. Maybe those two figures will be replaced in the final lineup with two other figures, they're the only ones being released twice in the series that we know of with no changes.
Emerje
Numbers 09, 10 and 11 are unaccounted for, but two of them will be taken up by the Wave 2 Deluxes Jazz and Lockdown. The final one is most likely sole the Wave 2 Leader, or a Wave 3 Voyager that's released out of order.

Again, 08 is Blackout.
Releasing items out of sequence is nothing new. The T30 line had that with Crosscut 016, with Tankor 015 and Rattrap 017 released a wave prior.

I’m excited to see more of RotF Megatron. I feel like, with today’s engineering, they can give him a mold that would do him justice, like his Voyager Last Knight. Prime is definitely new, but still seems to be the OG style of the first three movies. It would be cool if they did DotM Prime.

I guess that might be the case then if Hasbro and Takara Tomy are sharing packaging. Though I'm not entirely convinced they'll be doing the wave 2 Deluxe after having just done Jazz and Lockdown in the MB line in February. That might mean renumbering the line in Japan after Grimlock.

C'mon Hasbro where's Primes Face takers 
That megs looks good but they'll have to do a lot more for Starscream if they want to make him better than the DOTM deluxe and the ROTF Voyager and they'll also need to Skywarp and Thundercracker him.

The packaging says "Build the cast", so I don't think we'll be getting characters or redecos that weren't in the movie, including Thundercracker and Skywarp. In fact, the only leaked redeco is Starscream with the RotF Cyberglyphs

I think they will share packaging since the prices are identical to the prices we saw for the TLK toys which shared pakaging, much cheaper than their own MB line. Its also why I dont think Takara cares. They revealed a new MB TLK Megatron a little while after releasing the Leader Megatron from their TLK line. Same with Bumblebee and Hound. So I dont think that will detract them from doing it again with other toys like Jazz and Lockdown.

A pretty awesome image has just emerged on the Facebook Transformers fanpage Taiwan TFCC. It shows new live action Transformers toys at an event in Taiwan. The most obvious is Stinger, who is a deluxe in an upcoming movie line which will look back on previous films. The line seems to be called Transformers Studio Series. While the picture is small and blurry (as is tradition with leaks of the most anticipated toys), Stinger appears to be far more movie accurate than the Bumblebee redeco we got before. We can see his alt mode and it is an accurate Pagani. Hasbro was able to acquire that licence in the past with the Stinger One Step toy from Age of Extinction but it is fun to finally see it for a deluxe class toy.
We also see leader Blackout behind him in both his modes but we only see his lower leg and rotors when it comes to his robot mode. Still, this is our very first look at him since the initial leaked images and the best proof possible that he is indeed coming. These appearing at a show means we are very close to seeing better images of these.
For those wondering, the other deluxes in this line will be Bumblebee, Decepticon Crowbar, Ratchet, Jazz and Lockdown while the only other known leader class figure will be Grimlock. Judging from the reported prices of the Takara releases (which are probably the same figures repackaged for the Japanese market), these should be at the same price points as the Transformers the Last Knight toys. Which means we should expect a similar level of detail, complexity and paint.
Here is the photo, enjoy!

It looks like the roof becomes Stingers weapon, assuming he has the pincer cannon that Bee did, which leads me to assume that the Bee figure is gonna be a retool of this guy, considering he used the weapon itself in the film. Just speculation on my part but already excited to see where this line goes.

It's weird how a blurry little picture of a brand new Stinger mold makes me even more excited for the whole line. Cos if even a minor character like that is getting some proper love this time then I've high hopes for much of the more popular characters too.
He does look kinda 'blocky' in general shape at moment but that could just be the angle or pose. Looking forward to better photos.

Maybe its unpainted?

I thing the one in the back is a photo, the figure is on the right (with green markings). At least it isn't that dull blue like the original.
Stinger looks like a mass of kibble with elbows.

While I am not immediately impressed, it is just a tiny image.
But I am so thrilled for this new line. I was just playing with voyager Premium Blackout last week and he is so fun. It really says something about the impact some of the cons from the first movie had, seeing as how everyone wants a leader Blackout and Barricade is the first con getting a movie masterpiece figure that is not just a slightly changed leader class figure.

I haven't touched the Last Knight toyline at all, and I was planning on selling off most, if not all, of my movie collection, but this 2018 toy line has rekindled my interest in movie toys somewhat, maybe not enough to buy the whole line or to keep the toys I was planning to sell, but I'm thinking of having a small movie collection of around seven or eight toys for each faction.
Leader Blackout and Voyager Brawl are two figures I really want to own, and I was thinking my movie Decepticon shelf would just be those two with TLK Nitro Zeus and Megatron (which is better, the Leader or the Voyager?), the DOTM Deluxe Soundwave and Barricade I already own (unless TLK Deluxe Barricade is better, what's the consensus on that?) and a Starscream.
