    Even if he's not as big as I hope he'll be, Bonecrusher will probably be mine.

    Getting Megatron and Jetfire for sure.

    Not in a hurry to get them though.

    I'll wait until they are massively on sale in epic proportions around Thanksgiving/Christmas next year. :p

    really colorwise I like Crankcase. It's just that he's being sold as Crankcase that's the problem.

    If I remember, that's how he transformed in the movie, right?


    To be fair to the SS line's accuracy, Megatron's ALWAYS been taller than Optimus in the films (mainly due to his jet, tank, and tanker+trailer alt-modes), so they got that part down as far as I'm concerned.

    Same, glad I skimped out on the version from 2009 that basically put Prime into crutches XD

    I...my trust with DK is kinda shifty atm tbh. They delayed the release of the Grimlock upgrade kit for a while, and I'm still waiting on them to release the ROTF Megatron upgrade kit. Plus, Megatron's head was basically his ROTF head, just with some parts repaired since half of it was blown off thanks to Optimus.

    This is true, we can either get quality-painted figures at the cost of our wallets, or we can get pretty decent figures that won't eat up our wallet as much. Either way, it's a trade-off of money for quality or vice-versa.

    I'm actually pretty excited for the DOTM Megatron and seeing how well he pairs with the ROTF Megs (post DK-upgrade kit of course). Although I do wonder whether or not this Megatron will be able to rotate his trailer like the original Voyager, otherwise his alt mode'll just be a long truck that needs a REALLY wide berth to turn.

    On another note, now all we need is Soundwave, and our DOTM Decepticon triumvirate will be complete. A Leader-class figure of the Fallen wouldn't hurt to complement ROTF Megatron and Starscream either, IMHO.

    I have the DOTM Jetwing Optimus, along with the KO parts from the battle one with the shield and the UFO trailer, plus the articulated hands, etc. I'm thinking of putting the whole thing up as a set on eBay and seeing what it goes for. Probably could fund the next wave or two of SS, honestly.

    I find it interesting how certain movie characters’ box art are new renders or accurate movie art while others, especially movie 1 characters use the 2007 pre-final renders that was used in promotional artwork before the movie hit. Optimus, Jazz, and Ironhide all use their look from this artwork from 2007:

    3A4DEC04-C859-4698-9C44-CB8F250428D4.jpeg
    Making their package look like this:

    The strange thing I find is that each of them eventually got much more accurate renders, Jazz getting his even before the movie dropped, and Optimus having some even for Studio Series wave 1.

    Should we continue to see this trend of reusing pre-release renders from 2007, we may just be months away from seeing this cursed image plastered over every SS TF1 Megatron box:

    The one nice thing about the numbering system with Studio Series is that it's not like Masterpiece's mess. It's been around since 2004 and we're just now getting to MP-44 and a good portion of those numbers have been fillers like Skywarp and Thundercracker, etc. There are a few fillers and repacks in SS, but for the most part, they're chugging along and we don't have to wait forever for the good stuff to come.

    Don't get me wrong, there were some gems in MP and patience is necessary to some degree, but Has/Tak have been producing SS and haven't really lost any steam and there's still more to come. And it's affordable. I can't really complain, I'm getting what I asked for. *shrugs*
