    So a SS Cogman will just be a humanoid looking robot that doesn\'t transform???????

    If not a repackage, it could just be the headmaster portion (please don't do this Hasbro).

    I guess we wait until the Bumblebee movie for that answer. But until then, giant space gun? :D

    tbh i don't see them be able to pull of a accurate combiner movie devastator. (legends and supreme class rotf versions don't count for obvious reasons)

    if they already refused to actually make shatter and dropkick's (and even aoe drift) toys be tripplechangers (i think the movie designs are a bit to complex for hasbro to do that) then i realy don't think that hightower and scrapmetal will come with a combine mode.

    would be awsome if they did,but i think hasbro won't risk it knowing the fiasco it could turn out to be.

    heck even the TLK combiner infernocus was just a repaint/retool of that transformers prime abominus combiner which only made it a big voyager figure when combined.

    Just find it confusing they may just repack tlk Cogman in a studio series box.

    I just find it's Hasbro way of being cheap by filling one of those spots for future studio series with a old figure.

    I'm guessing since Cogman was pretty hard to find for people last year Hasbro decided to give the people who missed out on him the first time around another chance at getting him.

    Seems likely since they're re releasing tlk bumblebee mold in studio series for that exact reason, Hasbro stated at sdcc.

    Probably TRU stock since he was only ever spotted in the U.S at TRU. Or the more likely thing being the only New figure in his wave and that wave happens to be the last wave set to release in that respected line didn't not help ether. Stores are notoriously known for barely ordering end of the line stuff (do to over ordering past waves Especially wave 1) so most the time like we known from the past that end of a line stuff usually ends up in discount stores like ross, and etc as extra stock bought off from bigger chains here in the U.S.

    They'll repackage the headmaster, take the face off his back (or remold it to look like a back), put a non-transforming car that he can drive in the package for an "accessory" and sell him at SS price.

    Sounds like its a real thing given the evidence scrapper on the other hand may get attention as well given some things ive been told.

    Why Hightower of all bots? I get doing the Lockdown and Stinger repaints as generic KSI drones that we actually saw do stuff, but did we ever see Hightower do... anything?

    Unless this is a prelude for a SS Devastator.

    No Hightower didnt do anything but combine with the others but its probably not why hes getting a figure almost 10 years later.

    SS Devastator isnt impossible just unlikely the previously released Long haul, Mixmaster, and Rampage were all good figures at the time and dont necessarily need a new version.

    Studio series is a chance for characters that never got released to finally get a figure while at the same time update others that need it so a character doing something in movie isnt really a factor.

    Hightower, Scrapmetal, scavenger and overload never got a figure same for ksi drones and stinger and others

    So unless they redo the 3 constructicons from rotf in studio series plus the other 4 and they combine this time I think Devastator isnt likely releasing these 2 or 3 is just the chance to complete a display with most of them.

    I just want to see this myself. Because I'm thinking seems unusual that there may be so many new molds. That's not usually Hasbro.

    that's why studio series is so great to begin with.

    finally we are getting new molds for characters that never got a toy and upgraded versions of characters we got before.

    plus it's not that this line won't have repaints,just look at the wave with those KSI drones,those are all repaints.

    so nothing seems weird about this to me at all.
