Studio Series Megatron and Mixmaster In Package Images and Possible Arcee Chromia and Elita-1 Combo

guess this explains the blue part on arcee's shoulder from the images released a while back.
Also, weren't we told that they wouldn't combine, or was that just a rumour?

Well, Megatron’s render is something else but Mixmaster’s render is super cool looking. Wonder where they got it from, maybe the DOTM Game? It has that kinda look to it.

NOT a big fan of those girl cycles. looks so plain to me

I don't really like the way Elita-1's cycle mode hangs off of the back of the combiner, but other than that it looks great.

Looks like the result of a horrible accident on the side of the highway. Pretty macabre combiner mode …

The triplets really should've been sold at the voyager price point. This way each figure could have slightly better articulation/transformations, higher parts counts and have more paint apps. It also would've left more engineering money for the combined mode, assuming it's a thing that's actually supposed to happen with the toys.

Just a little bit extra put into each one so that something actually transforms in Elita-1's left hand/arm so it's not just a wheel. Some spikes like Ghost Rider or some hands or something like Brimstone/Chopsaw or Oil Slick. Getting a motorcycle tire to the face would mess up a human easily and then some. However, to a much larger Decepticon though, it's not going to do much of anything but tickle them.

I'll get this set anyway as it looks interesting but this is also one set that I'm really looking forward to seeing if any company makes one of those upsized AND upgraded KOs of.

Here's some concept pictures of the combined mode for reference. I think they're both legit. They're both pretty different form each other but the first one kinda sorta looks like what we got with the toys. If the components were in different spots.

Considering there's been no official word on the combiner mode then I don't there's a right or wrong way here, other than what ever looks the least bad

As for the size, I don't think adding extra parts in would have helped as they are small (scale wise to the rest of the cast) so having them be voyager would just make them too fiddly.

We were told absolutely nothing. And honestly, I don't think this is the combined mode the fans asking for one wanted.

As mentioned before, I don't think these pics even show a combined form, as both Twitter users were still in the process of trying to figure one out, with their pics merely showing some extra pegs and tabs and their attempts to figure out some combination rather than showing any fully-realized combination.

These pics don't show an actual combination, just the two Twitter users' experimented attempts at trying to figure out a combination.

I'm looking forward to finding them and trying this out. Gonna need to find them in person, since I couldn't secure them or Soundwave on pre-order.

But I am stoked that there appears to be a way to make some combinations

It looks like the robotic version of the alien from John Carpenter's "The Thing." Hard pass.

A hard pass because of a fan mode?

I'm not sure about the bike girls. I already have the original deluxes so those will be superfluous. However, if there IS an official combined mode, not THAT would be interesting.

As for '07 Megatron, that's one I'll get on day one. Especially because e will go perfectly well in the SS Megs display, is 1000X superior to the original '07 voyager, and is PROPERLY PAINTED from the get-go.

Thanks to a listing on Previews World, we have the CGI renders for some upcoming figures in the Studio Series line! Posted below, you can see Dark of the Moon Roadbuster; Shatter, from the Bumblebee movie in her jet mode, and also from that movie, Bumblebee in his first earth mode, that of a jeep. They are listed as being available on April 1st, 2020, likely out after the next upcoming wave consisting of Concept Camaro Bumblebee, Soundwave, WWII Hot Rod and Arcee/Chromia/Elita-1.



What do you think, Seibertronians? Excited for these figures now? Let us know what you think, and please stay tuned to Seibertron for three latest in Transformers news!

Date for release: April 1st

I don't think this is an April Fool, but MAN, do I want Jeep Bee!

They actually all look good.

I'm holding out hope that Shatter is far better than her car mode figure. That was a fiddly mess. This one, going off this picture alone, looks to be better articulated, for starters.

yes yes and yes

YEAH ROADBUSTER!

Roadbuster is looking awesome - actually, all these look really good! I'm not interested in Shatter but they got it to look just like the CGI model, and Jeep Bee is looking great too!

With the deluxes revealed, I wonder how long until we see Sentinel!

Very happy to see they did Shatter right. Roadbuster and Bumblejeep look good too. Can’t wait to add them to the shelves!

Roadbuster and Shatter are bought-on-sights, especially since we got shafted with car Shatter and ESPECIALLY if they end up doing the other Wreckers. And even though Bumblejeep isn't a must have, I'm curious to see the intricacies of his transformation. Good stuff!

Roadbuster looks fantastic and I can not wait to get him and the other two!

Jet shatter looks like a mess, hopefully it holds together more than the car version.

Jeep Bee is not looking good. Guess I just don't like the BB movie designs, they are to simple and G1.

Hopefully this reveal means we will be seeing Sentinel Prime, Scrapper, and Overload soon!

Shatter actually holds together really well in car mode. In robot mode, she's a mess. Loose joints, very limited articulation... she's the Deluxe Airachnid of Studio Series.

Whelp, that's two more for my buy when I see them on the shelves list.

2020 list so far:

Earthrise Sunstreaker
Earthrise Quintessa
Earthwise Quintesson
Studio Series Shatter V2
Studio Series Roadbuster

Earthrise Tracks is questionable until I see some images.

I've been waiting so patiently for the Wreckers since this toyline started. We got screwed with them during the DOTM toyline. Roadbuster being a normal race car, and Leadfoot not being released in the U.S.

So, thank you, Hasbro, can't wait to pick him up. And hopefully the other two will be released later in the year.

Nah, I don't think she's that bad. Besides, the joints aren't even loose on mine, and I can get her into some good poses. I'd say the very first SS Bumblebee is worse than Shatter since I can't actually transform or pose it without the roof flying off.

I was going to say something about Roadbuster not having a chainsaw, but then I thought about it. . .

He never had one in the movie, did he? I always assumed he did because all the figures had one, but I don’t think it was actually in the movie. I do hope that Gatling gun can attach to his shoulder like in the movie, though.

Shatter and Roadbuster look good. Probably only going to snag Shatter as my Autobot SS shelf is getting a bit full. And I'll be honest, Jeep Bee looks a bit basic in terms of transformation and design. Though, I may end up grabbing him if he looks better in hand

I find it really hard to make out what's happening in that combined mode, but I'm thrilled it might be possible. I was planning on getting them anyway, so cant wait to tinker w that. Love that we're getting the weird constructions like high tower and this weird combo form, I find these unusual designs so charming.

Still not sure about the other 2, but i am interested with that jeep bee, despite not a huge fan of bee. That robot mode looks clean enough for deluxe studio series standard, and the overall proportion looks good too.

These all look fantastic, though I think I'll only get Roadbuster. As much as I like Shatter my Studio Series Decepticon shelf is running out of space and I'd rather prioritize Soundwave, Mixmaster and Shockwave, and I'v already decided on the Wave 8 concept Camaro Bumblebee so I'll pass on this Jeep one. Hopefully Deluxe Topspin and Leadfoot aren't too far behind Roadbuster.

Roadbuster looks alright. Backpack looks a bit rough mind you, but overall he looks OK.

Shatter has a sublime robot mode, but the Harrier mode, oof. Could be the renders making it look worse to be fair, and the robot mode really is awesome, but having spent a lot of time around a real (albeit different model of) Harrier, it kinda pains me.

What really annoys me about Shatter though, is that we've had a mediocre car version and a good looking jet version, whilst Dropkick is the reverse- a kinda meh helicopter version with a cool car version. I was originally going to get both of them in car form, but then Shatter turned out to be a bit crap. So I either have them "mismatched" or accept that Shatter is gonna need mods to not suck.

Damn, first Airachnid, now Shatter. What is it with Hasbro and ballsing up the toys of really cool female Decepticons?

Bumblebee looks great, though it looks like the chest is fake, which kinda sucks.

The real question, though, is when do we get Blitzwing?

I need that Jet Shatter! Also, it appears that Jeep Bee is compatible with Volkswagen Bee, as evidenced by the unique ports on his arm

No, he had it. He only used it briefly, however. There may be a few other points in the film for which he was seen using it, but the most noticeable scene (as well as the first one that comes to my mind) would be after it's revealed that the Autobots had not perished on the Exodus, when they appeared in time to save the humans from some random Decepticon Scouts. Roadbuster can be seen using his saw to quite brutally tear apart one of the aforementioned D. Scouts.

Aww hell yeah!!

Roadbuster looks really good, and I am super excited for more Wreckers. Bring us Leadfoot so we can complete the armored Trio!!

Shatter looks really good too, nails her triple changer body style, all the way down to the location of additional car parts and head. Looking forward to her. And now, we can have car Dropkick and jet Shatter transform between 2 modes, and look and be great, while the other mold for each can act as the 3rd vehicle mode.

Bee looks really good! They nailed that jeep look, which I really did enjoy in the movie. well done there, excited for him too.

all 3 are fantastic, thank you Studio Series! Now, bring on the final Constructicons in proper images!

Jeep Bee might be good for some head swaps for a Swindle or Hound so I might be after duplicates with both their alts being kinda bad in cw/siege.
Shatters jet looks a little off (probably because of deluxe sizing?) but I'll likely get her to go with Dropkick.
Roadbuster looks really nice but will be a pass.

For any UK buyers, IDToys already have these three up for pre-order, due to ship in April 2020. Pre-ordered Roadbuster and Shatter today.

The Xantium, you mean.

I keep seeing this, and no please.

Let someone else have a jeep mode and make it cool. Not every jeep has to be the 2 G1 characters that had that mode.

and Bee works it far better than either, at least to me

I'm thinking CW Hound head (which CW Hound can then have a hardtop head) and get a Detritus out of the jeep bee unless hound/detritus gets an update in Earthrise.

Agreed on this. Personally hoped the jeep goes to entirely new character, but bee looks good enough wearing it, so i'll accept it.

I'd love a repaint/remold to have a Movie Strongarm in a jeep mode.

Here you go.

After the reveal yesterday from Preview's World, today we bring to you official images and pre-orders for the next wave of Studio Series deluxes, which consists of Jeep Bumblebee, Jet Shatter, and Roadbuster.

Both Bumblebee and Shatter come from the Bumblebee movie, released last year. Jeep Bumblebee is a take on the character as he appeared when he first came to Earth in that movie, transforming into a jeep in an attempt to escape the humans he accidentally crash landed into, and it's also the body that he fought Blitzwing in (who is still waiting on his Studio Series figure). Shatter meanwhile transforms into her second alt mode, a Harrier jet, and uses her robot mode body from the later part of the movie that incorporates both alt modes, whereas her first Studio Series figure was based on her initial Earth mode body. Roadbuster is based on the Wrecker character from 2011's Dark of the Moon, transforming into an armored version of Dale Earnhardt Junior's #88 Chevrolet.

Check out the images and descriptions below, and then after that see the pre-orders to get yours secured for next April!

Just realized Roadbuster's tires say "ULTRA WRECKERS" on them

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Just realized Roadbuster's tires say "ULTRA WRECKERS" on them

I noticed that yesterday too, I love that little touch!

Still havent bought any Studio Series Bumblebee. Because it was always more of the same. Except the bug. But I got the giant version and the legion one.
As for WW2 Bee, it was way too ugly and uninteresting. But that Jeep Bee, I'm in love! Even with the obvious faux-chest.

Hmm. Never liked the Bayverse stylings and monster-faces. But I know what I hate, and I don't hate these. I like each of them.

Bumblejeep looks alright, but I don't need another Bee.

Roadbuster and Shatter both look better than I expected though, I might grab them both. My car Shatter was alright, she isn't as bad QC-wise as other copies, but having the actual right head sculpt and less limited looking articulation are a good sell on this new one. I might have to go back and actually grab a car Dropkick now to go with her. I guess I'll use the alternate names from the concept art and credits for the Wreckers to give them unique names, so Roadbuster will be Amp, Topspin will be Tempest, and Leadfoot will be Target.
