I could be wrong but they could have at least transformed Longhaul, Rampage, Hightower, and Scrapmetal closer to what they are suppose to be and perhaps on the right side. It is nice to see what it may look like, size wise but doesn’t look appealing looking like this.
Don’t get me wrong, I am anxious to see the final product and look forward to getting the rest of them but holy cow.

I'm so excited and they keep teasing this, get it right and use the actual figures dammit!

I am also disappointed with what I've seen so far, however I'm holding all judgement until I see a picture of the fully combined mode by someone who knows what they are doing.

Exactly this. this is just like when Superion and menasor were first revealed for CW with the wrong limbs and horribly posed and transformed, and those were much simpler components... and fewer

I will say though I’m a little disappointed that he doesn’t appear to have the missile pods from the ROTF game like in the concept art. Still looks really cool though!

Personally, I havent ever handled a deluxe twin I liked. It's not a hard transformation, just super fiddly.

I was on the fence on getting any of the Constructicons until I saw the completed Devastator, but this has sold it. Can't wait to move to NY in a few weeks and start hunting them down.

You were expecting a line whose entire point is to make movie-accurate figures to radically alter the appearance of the characters?
Studio Series in general must have been absolutely brutal for you.

Well no duh the movie fans can have it that's who the figure is for.
That's like asking if the Generations figures are to appeal to non G1 fans. (or whoever generation a figure represents like the occasional Beast Wars or UT homage)

There is absolutely no point responding to him. He's just an adamant Bay hater who only spew hate comments via the news post without ever entering the thread.

Apart from the movie-accurate red face, notice Mixmaster's grid at the end of the neck and Ravage's threads partially visible in his back similar to how the end in the toy.

I beg to differ solely on engineering aspect in appearances, its frimly each to their own as I much prefer this devy to G1, here he looks like a beast of destruction, quite fitting with the ascetic. G1 devy, for me was boring, (I saw the key to Vector sigma first before the movie and any other devy episodes, so the special teams made more an impact) only time G1 devy was interesting to me was when we had Prowlastator in IDW

On an unrelated note, I recently watched an MPM Jazz review, and it's super cool how the Studio Series version seems to have borrowed a lot of engineering ideas.

Goddammit. That Optimus is one of those "happen only once" MOFO, eh? Guess I'll have to import it from Japan in one of my Mandarake haul.
Also, hell yeah, this fruit quote never get old.

I think it will get repackaged, they'd be crazy not to.
I still can;t believe there isnt a studio series Optimus on shelves for this holliday season.

I've been seeing more Primes in store lately, but it's wild to me that I can go to Target and see Bee movie Prime, then go to Wal-Mart and see Movie 1 Prime, and then go into Meijer and see Revenge of The Fallen Prime I think it's down to stores and how/when they decide to stock things. Some are probably trying to have the newest figures rather than have the more bankable but older figures

Leader class jet optimus? a single figure has made its way to my area, so I guess that counts as saturation nowadays

Oh, I've made no secret of my general disdain for the Bay movies. I find them formulaic and joyless, with predictable cinematography, cardboard stereotype characters, and needless vulgarity. But they have made truckloads of cash, that can't be disputed. So he must be doing SOMETHING right. As for the toys based on the movies, all I'm saying is that I'm not bothering with them. But I won't take that away from the people who DO want them. My not liking them shouldn't diminish the enthusiasm of anyone who does. Just means more of them will be available for you to enjoy without me or my minions taking them off the shelves. They're all yours - Death treats everyone equally!

They look really good (I’m glad they made them in scale) but I feel like there’s more than meets the eye to them.
Both Arcee’s extra gun and Chromia’s sword-thing don’t appear in the movie, and the stands have a lot of extra tabs and things that don’t have an apparent function.
Man, I think I’m going to be getting the Arcees too. This wave is going to be awesome! It just needs to get here soon.

Interesting and I might pick them up at some point (but then I'm going to have to get a SS Prime so they go in his trailer).
There’s not much room in SS Prime’s trailer between the weapons and flight tech, you might be able to cram one or two in the empty spaces but they won’t be able to roll out the back or anything.

Well, I already had Scrapmetal and Hightower by that point, and picked up a Long Haul along the way, so I had enough pieces of Devastator already to make me want to keep going.
Sabrblade wrote:From where were you purchasing (and presumably exchanging) your Rampages?
The first four were from Target (the fourth one eventually wound up getting exchanged for Long Haul instead since they had him and didn't have another Rampage), the last two were from Amazon.

the only 2 I didn't succeed in getting were the Arcees and Soundwave, those ones are the ones that surprisingly sold out. Gonna have to find those ones in store, but at least I have secured the constructicons and my last 2 movie 1 Transformers to finish the cast!
Also, despite the Lackluster mold, I am excited for WWII Hot Rod to go with Bee. I'm excited to send them on adventures

This. So much this.
I'm more anxious for Blitzwing over the rest, because I just love that design. Most people think G1 designs in live action would look weird, but not for Travis Knight (And thank Primus for that )

Yeah, Blitzwing is probably the only Bumblebee movie design I really like. Jeep Bee was ok, so I'm interested to see how the deluxe looks, but I really dig Blitzwing, The F-4 alt. mode probably helps a lot.
Unrelated, but I came across a picture of someone who transferred the face of WWII Bee to the head of SS-01/Clunker Bee, and it looks SO good. Really hoping the next SS Bumblebee without the mask uses that face with a tweaked helmet (since the WWII helmet's a little different).
