Knowing at least half a year's worth of the 2019 Studio Series offerings, there was one glaring unknown: SS 31. Well, now we know both what it is and why we had not heard of it before. SS 31 turns out to be none other than voyager Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) Megartron with Battle Damage. That damage includes a new darker deco and a new head to reflect what he looked like at the end of ROTF. This was revealed on Hobbybase's Facebook page where it seems to be available in that particular store in Hong Kong.
The listing on Robot Kingdom tells us why we had not heard of it yet, it is an exclusive item. We do not know yet who in the US will be carrying this exclusive item, but judging at how easy every other Studio Series exclusive has been to order or obtain in the US, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
We also have more images of upcoming voyager Rampage and deluxe Scrapmetal found on the Snakas blog.

One mystery leads to another.
Scrapmetal is so very RID2001 Grimlock that I kind of want to see the whole Build Team made out of RotF Devastator.

AH GODDAMIT! 
Now there's a Megatron with ACTUAL PAINT. I knew I bought my SS Megatron too quickly.
This one seem much better through the packaging. Looking forward in hand images.

Even the botmodes are not correct, Prime is smaller than Megatron and Blackout, which should be the biggest Decepticon is not the biggest.

They are in scale, they're going off of the official robot mode scale chart, the vehicle mode scale doesn't matter to them

If Battle Damaged Megs has his stylish head wound, does he also have his cannon arm ripped off?
Also, that Scrapmetal isn't so "Bay-ish" that it wouldn't work as a custom figure in other settings, given a new head.

Who’s a bigger Decepticon from the Studio Series so far? Because remember, Studio Series is running off of a new Robot Mode Scale, not one that already exists from previous movie toy lines.

That's probably because he's an extensive remold of Combiner Wars Scavenger. I'm honestly surprised with how so few people recognize this, assuming you hadn't yet yourself.
Sorry if that sounded "snobish", I meant it as an observation, not a condescending remark.

I doubt that actually. In this day and age, reusing parts and bit of engineering is so commonplace, everything is called a retool
To be fair, the legs and the arms are similar in construction, but Scrapmetal is all new in the part department, so technically not a retool in the slightest.
And #31 is a battle-damaged Megatron? Surprising. Good call on the head, Hasbro

We are updating the article below with more images of Studio Series SS 31 Battle Damaged Revenge of the Fallen Megatron from Robot Kingdom's Facebook page and Stanley Cheung on Facebook. These show the head in a close up as well as the darker plastic being used and the deco. We also see the back of the box which tells us that the backdrop will be the Egyptian temple where Prime battles both Megatron and the Fallen, leaving one with part of his head missing and the other without a face.
Knowing at least half a year's worth of the 2019 Studio Series offerings, there was one glaring unknown: SS 31. Well, now we know both what it is and why we had not heard of it before. SS 31 turns out to be none other than voyager Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) Megartron with Battle Damage. That damage includes a new darker deco and a new head to reflect what he looked like at the end of ROTF.

...and at last, the mystery is solved, and everything is right with the line again. I have no interest in this figure, but I am very glad to have all the numbers accounted for. Does that make me OCD (an Order-Controlled Decepticon)? I dunno.
Also I still really want Scrapmetal, he looks so fun to just have around and pose.

Deluxe (argument against retool: different Class), along with Hightower. By contrast, Rampage and Long Haul are Voyagers.

Scrapmetal just seems to be re-using a lot of ideas and general concepts and improving on them. There can't be that many ways to turn an excavator into a robot?
I like his digitigrade legs and Muppet hands.
Know what else he vaguely resembles?

Catching up on a few topics:
I would not mind if they made a Bumblebee movie Wheeljack. I have grown to really love that design. He's my favorite Cybertron mode of the movie bots, period.
I'm super excited for the voyagers, leaders, and WWII Bee. I'm saving an amazon card to help buy them once they arrive.
The combination with Jetfire and Prime looks pretty dang good. I'm happy with it and can't wait to get it beside the RotF version.
As for a wishlist, I'm glad you brought this up Densh. Here is mine before this line ends, besides what is already known to be coming (constructicons wise really since we are getting Devastator [squeals]) and in order of appearance:
-Movie 1 Megatron (the existing voyager was my first TF ever, I want an update to stand beside him)
-Skids + Mudflap in their RotF chevy bodies (I got the Ice Cream Truck and DotM versions, DotM skids isn't good at all)
-Dino
-car Soundwave
-Leadfoot
-Roadbuster (needs weaponized)
-Topspin, if necessary. The first is already awesome
-voyager Slug
-WWII Hot Rod
-Proper Infernocus (preferably leader sized)
-Onslaught
-Mohawk

Well I’m all in for this Battle Damage Megatron. I love that he’s actually painted, and not just plain grey plastic.
I’m so glad I just picked up some of the RotF Constructicons, because these SS ones are looking pretty lack luster so far, in terms of bot modes. I know they had to make some sacrifices to form a combiner. I’ll still be getting them though.

We have some good news to share on this new year's day (Happy New Year by the way), with the names of all components of the upcoming Studio Series Devastator combiner revealed along with their release schedule. An image from the inner instructions of the first Constructicon releases show us everyone needed to make Devastator, each sold separately, and the year they are coming out.
Here is the breakdown:
2019 Releases
- Scrapmetal deluxe
- Hightower deluxe
- Longhaul voyager
- Rampage voyager
2020 Releases
- Mixmaster
- Scavenger
- Scrapper
- Overload
That Scrapper is intriguing since he seems to take on the entire arm instead of half like Scrap Metal, meaning it would be a different toy. We do not have confirmation for the size classes of the Consttucticons coming out in 2020. What do you make of all this? Let us know!

Man, spaced out over the course of two years, that sucks big time, but I guess this confirms that they have plans to keep the series alive for at least this and next year; would also explain why the prototype they showed off only had som of the limbs finished, but man, that still sucks

I disagree. I cannot speak for everyone but money isn't necessarily tight but it doesn't flow like a tap, so splitting the 8 figures up over 2 years spaces it out and allows smaller purchases across time that spending about 200 quid at once. particularly if I'm right and Scavanger is a leader class figure.

OK, so I am disappointed in Devastator taking 2 years to complete.
But, this brings up 2 good things/points:
1) Maybe they are going to stick with 2 leaders a year in the first wave like they did last year with Grimlock and Blackout, and maybe this year with Megatron and Jetfire. The leaders next year, or 1 later this year could be Scavenger and even Overload or Mixmaster.
2) This means more figures can be voyagers by allotting them proper space and not overloading (heh) a wave with constructicons.
So we could end up with deluxe Scrapmetal and Hightower, Voyager Long Haul, Rampage, Scrapper, Mixmmaster, and Overload, and Leader Scavenger and potentially Overload and/or Mixmaster

Let's hope that the line does well enough to last the two years for all the figures to come out, this is a big commitment in time and money.

Indeed, but TFCC Nexus Prime still holds that record with a whopping 5 years, 1 figure a year!
I'm confident all figures will see release in some shape or form, no worries about that.

If nothing else, the Constructions being split over two years gives me time to decide whether or not I actually want to go down that particular rabbit hole. So far Rampage is the only Constructicon I'm definitely going to buy, though Scrapmetal and Lomg Haul are on my 2019 maybe pile. If I decide not to complete the line-up, I may end up just getting those three and Mixmaster.

A new image of Studio Series SS 38 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime has been uploaded to Instagram.
It is an in hand image of Optimus Prime posed in his robot mode.
To those unaware, we know from a previous image (shown below) that the alternate mode is very inspired by the truck in the G1 cartoon. We also know he has a 35 step conversion and that the figure comes with the "San Francisco Bridge" backdrop, which is where he meets Bumblebee at the end at the end of the film.
This figure will be coming out mid spring next this year.

About Devastator, keep in mind that this is the Japanese schedule which doesn't always match up with Hasbro's. Some figures are released roughly the same time, but others, like ROTF Starscream coming in January or helicopter Dropkick coming in March, are way off. Those 2020 release from Takara Tomy could be late 2019 for Hasbro.

That's Chinese, so it's still Hasbro schedule give or take a few months. TakaraTomy releases do usually come later than Hasbro, but both sets of 4 should still be released within the two years specified.

Its just from a different angle than what we saw in the box pictures. It ends up a lot longer looking than that box art made it look.

Still not a big fan of the Movieverse G1-ified Optimus. It's great for those of you who care, but to me it's just pandering to the G1 fans

It's not bad, but I keep thinking that his midsection is either mistransformed or has battle damage. Looks like his grille and bumper got straight ripped out.william-james88 wrote:

I guess this shows that the transformations is different from Siege Optimus Prime?Those forearms,doesnt like they convert the same
I think he looks really good,but I get where you are coming from.The G1 designs should't be the only influence on the robots.
