    I'm guessing maybe the same size as the HA figures were? Or maybe a tad smaller? I'm really hoping they're big enough to get detail into the sculpt. Some deluxes are larger than others, so more plastic to work with.

    My money would be on late-Nov/early-Dec.

    I have to say based on the pricing, I wouldn't be surprised if the bike sisters are just these guys.

    Damn. Was hoping for BB Soundwave but sounds cool. I’m hoping the bumblebee could perhaps be the Jeep Bee. Or maybe even his new old Camaro look from the end credits of BB. Either would be appreciated to have.

    I was terrible at customs when I found out that set was cancelled.

    I'm hoping the new bumblebee is his AOE 1969 Camaro

    I would hate that, but I doubt they'll pull such a BS move. The only figures that have been repaints from other lines so far have been TLK figures. They might be a similar size and level of complexity, but I'm putting my money on them being new molds.

    That'd be dope if we got that one eventually, but we really need an 07 Camaro in SS. Too many of my pictures should have him in that form but I have to substitute the 77 Camaro haha

    DOTM
    AOE both old and new
    TLK

    There's still a lot of Bumblebees to go through.

    Soundwave as a deluxe is excellent news, long past time he put in an appearance in this line.

    Few sets made it into collector’s hands. I recall griffin-of-oz owning a set. :cool:

    Arcee sister at a deluxe price point? I wonder if it's retools of the bikes that came with the Human Alliance figures years back.

    Been wanting Soundwave for a while, so that makes me happy. I just hope he's not too small compared to the other Decepticons. I'll gladly pick all these up.

    I imagine him being as tall as Lockdown, he was the smallest of the big names in the movie after all.

    The HA figures were a perfect size, but they'll have to be slightly smaller. As you said, they need to have some details in the sculpt, so they can't be too small. They are movie figures as well, detail will make them fit in with the rest!

    I wouldn't count out the Arcee sisters combining. It's certainly not a guarantee, but you look at some of the bolder choices they've made lately and it's not out of the realm of possibility.

    Not to mention it'd be a good reason to even do them in the first place. At the size we're likely to get, the individual transformations likely won't be all that complex.

    >Soundwave with Laserbeak

    Thank God Hasbro didn’t do BB Soundwave first. I’ve been waiting for this since the beginning of the Studio Series line. It’ll be great to finally have a DOTM Soundwave figure after the previous one got cancelled.

    Maybe it's bumblebee movie Arcee as a full sized deluxe (Shatter retool) and two cardboard cutouts of her character model color swapped to represent Chromia and Elita? Ok no, but that would be funny.

    The Arcee sisters are a nice surprise, and like everyone else I’ve always wanted a good deluxe Soundwave. Bumblebee has me really stoked though if it’s the 2007 one having the original 2007 bots together in their proper forms and scaling well will be amazing.
