Thanks to TonTon Reviews on Youtube and a heads up from Seibertronian What's Crackin'?, we have a pair of nice video reviews for the upcoming Transformers Studio Series deluxe class Barricade and Sideswipe!
Starting with Barricade, we have a nice look at the figure that utilizes some of the transformation tricks his MPM self had, and we also see that his chest is mostly real car parts in robot mode, with only the center moving out of the way to allow for the angry chest slant. He is also unique in that he is a Barricade figure that ends up with the hood as the outside piece of his back complete with a bumper-butt.
Up next, we have a nice look at Sideswipe, based on his Dark of the Moon form. The toy switches back to having the movie accurate rear end of the car become the chest (something the Dark of the Moon deluxe did not do), and he comes with a pair of blasters and a fair of detachable swords that peg into his hands. He is also the first Sideswipe figure to actually have the sides of his chest (the rear fenders and tail lights) slant in in a movie accurate style.
Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

:edit: Combined into one post.
I'm amazed at the rate these releases are coming at, really. Sometimes the wait between Generations figures feels like an age, yet these feel like a pretty steady beat.

I mean, I guess it could work for SS if I take his ROTF toy head and put it on this body. I thought they were going for more of a high quality paint and scale standard for this Studio Series line. For the most part they're great, but when I see lacking qualities on the face especially, it bothers me. Like with Movie 1 Ratchet's face.

I just realized, that with a nice shade of blue paint, maybe a new head, that Sideswipe's mold could work for a movie Blurr. The tire wheels kind of remind me of Animated Blurr

Looking forward to the next batch of Voyagers for the Transformers Studio Series? Well thanks to a helpful tip off from fellow Seibertron user, What's Crackin?, we've learned that YouTuber Ton Ton Review has uploaded a review of #33 2007 Movie Bonecrusher!
Also at the start of the video during the vehicle size comparisons you can see the new Studio Series #32 2007 Movie Optimus Prime in his Truck mode. You can see that Optimus is much brighter than the original SS Optimus Prime and has some real nice silver paint. His gun also stores in the back, instead of on the side like an image once showed. The windows are also much more clear than the Rotf figure. You can see prime at 2:01
Please check out TonTon's review below!
What do you think of this long awaited bigger take on Bonecrusher? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

Well those reviews just continue to prove that I'm getting Sideswipe and Bonecrusher, and Barricade continues to get more and more appealing. My only deterrence is still how much I dislike his original face design. If Siege Barricade is ever properly shown off and is as low effort as it seems like he'll be, then I'll probably grab this Barry over that one, but until then, I'm undecided.
In other news, I don't remember if this was discussed on this thread yet or not, but since further proof of it's credibility just showed up today, I'm putting this here:
I feel like a lot of talk about the DotM Prime happened when this showed up, but I don't think anyone said anything about the Voyager listings. KSI Boss seems like he'd obviously be a Nitro Zeus repaint/retool, given the previous usage of that name/designation. The "Hero" has me curious though, since it's both super nondescript and comes out earlier than all the other SS figures on the list. What Movie Autobots have we yet to get that would be Voyager-class? This figure could be the missing Hasbro number 31 or 38 if their Takara and Hasbro release times are similar enough.

At this time, the closest Autobot Voyager I think we have to get would be Sentinel Prime, but, blah. I hate that character, legitimately hate.
I think that's it. We got a good Hound in TLK and they seem to be grouping TLK figures into the line as representations for the 4th and 5th movie cast. So Sentinel really is the only Autobot I could think of.
Unless they are making a Canopy figure. But that would surprise me.
Most of the Autobot choices that could be made would be deluxe class: WWII Hot Rod, Jolt, the Wreckers, Mudflap and Skids, Que, and Dino.

Leadfoot could be a voyager? Just thinking in terms of mass, that stomach and the parts to make it could take up a voyager price point. Or maybe a new mold for a dinobot? Or possibly Bulldog/WWI Tank from TLK?

Except we didn't get a good Hound during TLK. A reminder of what his TLK toy was like. Missing the upper back of his truck mode, most of the front of his truck mode is hanging wholesale to the backs of his legs, and there's no triple Gatling gun. The Movie The Best version fixed the third issue and somewhat fixed the first, but that was Takara only and it could be better. And they did an enhanced TLK Drift so why not a better TLK Hound?
Also, the Studio Series hasn't done Evasion-mode Optimus yet, or his AoE "Upgrade" body. And Evasin-mode Optimus needs a correct toy that's non-exclusive and available at US retail.

Yes, but Studio Series toyline =/= TLK toyline. So a Studio Series toy of it, whether a new mold or (more likely) just a deco tweak of the existing one, is still a possible release. It's not a release I'm especially hopeful for, but it could happen. Best-case scenario if it did happen would be it having retooled forearms to actually match Optimus' Battle of Hong Kong-onward appearance. The TLK Voyager actually has the arms of the intermediate upgrade body from before he retrieved the Sword of Judgement.

Thanks to a tip off from fellow Seibertron user, What's Crackin?, we've learned that YouTuber TonTon Reviews has reviewed another forthcoming Studio Series voyager class toy, this time it's #32 2007 Movie version Optimus Prime! This toy is a redeco and a retool of the Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime that released as part of wave 1. You can see that the new Optimus Prime is bigger than the previous release. You can see this and more differences between the two figures in this new review, including several comparisons.
Remember, it's this version of Optimus Prime that combines with the soon to be released Leader Class Jetfire.

Nice. Really didn't expect him to be taller this time. The size on the first one didn't bother me much until Ironhide came out and made him look too small so this new one's height increase is welcome. I like that you can see the truck window visor parts peeking at top of the chest windows now which you couldn't on the old one. Think the only area the figure got downgraded is that the piece on the lower legs which folded down over the remaining lower wheels no longer does. Other than that it's a huge improvement.
Swipey, Barry and Boney all look great too. Gonna be spending a fair chunk of money start of 2019 it seems.

Prime is a huge improvement. Taller, proportions look better, colors look better...I might actually pick this version up.
Bonecrusher is still a disappointment though. He already only comes up to the first SS Prime's belly, he's going to look even shorter next to the second version.

That Bonecrusher review... man, that battle of Prime and Boney from the 2007 movie still looks far better than anything I saw in the new Bumblebee film today. Bonecrusher figure size looks decent to me too. If you want bigger though there is a third party one that's pretty huge. This Studio Series version looks fine to me and will be bought with the rest of this wave.

So far, I haven't bought a single SS deluxe. Maybe because I keep my TF purchases to a minimum and/or it really bum me out to buy "ordinary movie deluxes" at 30$.

Do they not have them on reduced price anywhere there? I bought most of mine for typical RRP (and in a few cases more including Jazz and Lockdown at £30 each when the RRP is £23, just so I could have them a bit earlier) but The Entertainer here in the UK has been selling wave 1 and 2 Deluxes for about £16 each. Is how I got Stinger recently (and liked it way more than I thought I would).

The only one that I would be willing to pay for, but at 50% off, is SS Jazz. And he was just like a drop of water in a hot pan localy. And no way am I gonna pay full price nor ordering it online. I still feel the burn from that 55$ TLK Cogman (still available everywhere like roaches at 15$)

55 dollars? How did that happen? Mine didn't cost anywhere near that much and I got it early. :O
The Entertainer in Cambridge literally does have SS Jazz in for £16.80. They had at least two of them that I could see on the shelves (I was looking for Crowbar at that price but he's gone). They still have it on the website at https://www.thetoyshop.com/action-toys- ... 4611_E0745 but I guess that doesn't help you at all. Oh well, i hope you get lucky.

I talk in Canadian dollars but still. Cogman just refused to come out and he was rumored to be a rare "tail-line" figure. One that will barely appear in store before being gone forever. It happened a bit too often in the past. Because TLK Cogman was the only TLK deluxe I really cared about, I didn't took any chances and I ordered it from China. 55$CAN was the total price including shipping. It was the best price available back then.
Oh and before that, I was in an hurry to have the DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime. I imported it from the USA at almost 140$CAN with shipping. Then just 2 or 3 months later, the damn thing was priced 80$CAN plus taxes everywhere and he even went on clearance at 50$CAN.
Seriously, I'm done ordering ANY Movie figures online. Seem that I ALWAYS get screwed over every times that I do. Appart DOTM Guzzle, Movie figures always land in stores and always get dirt cheap eventually. Plus I know that I'll have another shot at Jazz because he'll be included in the next wave of SS deluxes. And even then, I'll wait for a sale.

I began to seriously collect at the HFTD times. So I din't knew about ROTF Lockdown. So he was a "drop of water in a hot pan" too? One more to the list.
What is frustrating is we can never know what will be the nest ephemeral store shelf transformers.

With thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Nemesis Primal, we've learned that YouTuber TonTon Reviews has uploaded another review of a forthcoming Studio Series deluxe! This time it's #26 WW2 Bumblebee! Inspired by flashback footage in the fifth Transformers movie, The Last Knight. As well as having a hand held gun, he also comes with a mighty looking hammer,which forms the barrel of the tanks main weapon.

Some points have become standard like the knees, hips, elbows, shoulders and head, but other points like the feet and waist have not.

No it is not. Often, even if the same point of articulations are present, the kibble get in the way. This is important to point out.

Oaky, finally saw the video. Too bad it's a low def blurry mess, but eh, better than nothing.
I'm a bit disappointed that this WW2 bee is a TOTAL SHELLFORMER. He's comparable to AoE Galvatron or even Cybertron Thunderblast. Absolutely NO vehicle get carried over to the robot mode. Plus that color is plain and boring. It should have more dirt and battle damage painted on. Especially for a 30$ deluxe.
I still want it though, for the Legacy. Plus I'm sure Toyhax will come up with an interesting Reprolabels upgrade set.

I can testify firsthand to that, I can’t even find a broken version of that figure so I can just get his engine, and it feels like a wast to pay about double the original price when I still have the rest of him AND ratchet’ EMP for him

All this Lockdown talk:
Alt modes scale pretty well, but bot modes put SS Lockdown at the kids' table:

IM not feeling bad at saying I'd rather buy this expensive version than wasting my money on the SS one.
