    Hard to say how long Studio Series will last with so many characters left.

    I won't be satisfied till deluxe Dewspensor, leader Devcon, and voyager Junkheap (the one made of 3 robots)

    Maybe it'll be a chug situation and last for a hella long time (wishful thinking? maybe)

    Someone else already fixed the Scavenger photo. I fixed Mixmaster's hood ornament and Shockwave's (minimal) use of Megatron parts.

    I think the problem is that a lot of these really early writeups of just-revealed toys are based on the same stock renders and convention exhibit photos everyone else is looking at, and sometimes the person doing the writeup is really "asleep at the wheel", as you put it. Sometimes, inaccuracies get caught, while other times, they may linger for a looooong time. I know I've myself fixed many an inaccurate toy writeup clearly based on early pre-release information and images after buying said toy.

    (Also, sometimes someone may intentionally vandalize a writeup, and it may remain just as long for you to see it before someone else reverts the vandalism edit.)

    Yep. That’s what I posted earlier. Definitely looks like a smaller dude piloting a bigger chassis.

    Words cant describe how happy I am when i saw leader class shockwave. Just read my bio tag line... i have waited for this for a long long time. i was hoping and eyeing that prototype shockwave from dream factory but no more, as we have a beautiful official figure. I will get this and the eventual oversized 3rd party to scale with my MPM line. Just amazing.

    I literally opened my phone yesterday once I came back from work, i sat on my couch, went on tfw and voala! I saw him on the sites header. I freaked. The movie really didnt do him justice, but he was still badass... loved his design but mostly loved shockwave in the dotm video game. He is just that cool to me.

    Alas, after 9 long years, I will have what we should have gotten in 2011 instead of leader class bumblebee... (facepalm).

    Man, I just can't stop thinking about what an amazing time it is to be a movie fan.

    Bring on the figures!

    Imagine if we had Ben Procter's Autobot Mixmaster concept art actually make it into ROTF, and he shows up like this:

    They could easily pivot to doing Bee Movie "concept figures." Stuff like elephant Ironhide and spider Arcee as listed in the blu-ray extras.

    Was just thinking about how Shockwave includes a Paratrooper. How detailed can Hasbro do with other figures?

    I'm impressed that Megatron does a better job of hiding and compressing his vehicle mode bits better than all of the Bayverse Megatron figures before it. I'd dare say even the MPM.

    I wonder if these guys will be among the first to come in the plastic-free packaging Hasbro’s been talking about.

    He was one of three 1984 mail-away figures from a generally unknown Autobot sub-line called Powerdashers. The one received was often random, and all three were not given a name until a lot later. Plus it was said that fans used his Diaclone "name" for the time being. Atop of that this will also be the first time that G1 collectors in Japan can add him to their collection.

    Plus I expect him to be on my "I need to preorder him!" list soon. Because I have reasons. And they might sound silly. So... Yeah.

    No offense to those who care about accuracy when it comes to that Wiki page, but their coverage for anything Japanese G1 sucks. It is way too sloppy and the seven years I have done research on that continuity, I found things that make their write-ups come off as one of those "You want good, not good enough" commercials. Ugh.

    I'm glad you are doing something. I now wish that the same could be done for the Japanese stuff.

    Technically, it is still plastic. The material they plan to use is called bioPET, which means that it will be a plant-based type of plastic.

    Ah, thank you! I figured he was some obscure Japanese dude or something. Ol' drill head.
