    From what people who claim to have insider information are saying, there is no defining difference. They are effectively the same line. Apparently, before the Beast Wars direction was decided on, the final phase of the WFC trilogy was going to focus on the 86 film. When it was decided to do Beast Wars, and Kingdom was locked in, they moved some of the originally planned toys into Studio Series to make room for the BW figs. Once moved, it sounds like the figures in SS86 got tweaked to have less of the WFC gimmick (less ports for weaponizers, basically). So we're literally getting the best of both worlds.

    Some rumors tell that Galvatron could be a TR version without crown gimmick,if they do this,although will be a leader class they must make kim smaller if not, would be too big compared to Cyclonus that in toon was even a little taller than his leader. For me should be as tall as Cyclonus but I understand he's a leader class and is difficult they'll reserve him Astrotrain and Shockwave treatment, whose items only made them enter to same class.
    If is also a little taller than Cyclonus OK,but if he's tall as TR I'll pass.

    Rumors according to who? You really think Hasbro could get away with charging $50 for a 5 year old $20 toy?

    Not all secret inside sources are created equal.

    None of the leakers with legitimate information have said that, they've said it's a new mold, so whoever told you that is full of lies

    So when every leak says that kingdom galvatron is a new leader class galvatron, you say "oh it is the old 2016 titans return voyager galvatron with a new head". i mean seriously why would you even think that?

    For some reason someone started a "wouldn't it be cool if" type of rumor and it took off and now people think it's potentially the real deal. The mental gymnastics here are crazy when all the credible leakers have flat out said that it's a 100% new mold.

    I hope the new movie doesn't get toys designed until after the movie is out. The point of studio series is to be accurate and they did this by making them off complete movie CGI. With the bumblebee movie they rushed to make characters off incomplete designs and look how crappy or inaccurate vw bb , helicopter Dropkick, and car shatter (wrong head) came out. Even the mpm7 bee was totally off.

    I feel like this is more of a "wouldn't it fucking suck " than a "wouldn't it be cool."

    I mean... that was my first thought... until I actually saw people showing support for the idea in other threads. It's mind-boggling, to say the least.

    Weird. I thought the general consensus was it wasn't terrible but the gimmicks definitely made it much worse. Why would anyone want to pay 30 extra dollars for the same figure?

    No idea. Again, it's mind-boggling.

    Because I feared for the worst :D  and I was prepared, in these days I couldn't read of all this topic but some very recent Youtube comments told it so I thought nothing official was still announced.
    That Galvatron is very good apart crown,but I'm happy that also in this case Hasbro continues to proceed well giving good treatment to figures that aren't Megatron or Optimus, that appeared only ones along Bee and others, to receive new figures in every toyline.
    Just for not being one of these characters,I thought that these news I had read were possible,glad I was mistaken.

    Word to the wise NEVER TRUST RANDOM YOUTUBE COMMENTS.
    galvatron is an entirely new mold, nothing shared with titans return at all which is a good thing because that figure was very VERY bad.

    car Shatter doesn't have the wrong head, that head did appear in the movie briefly, so look at it as more of a battlemask like Bumblebee's

    what I've gathered from the Studio Series thread, "Studio" is Movies, and supposed to be screen accurate

    So I was thinking (and don\'t take my word for it, since I\'m a crazy person) after seeing the NEWAGE figure: what if Leader Galvatron\'s \'extra junk\' to bump to Leader class price point aren\'t Energon Galvatron parts but a Grand Galvatron fat suit?

    To be honest I want of want a third party 'weaponizer' that is basically the Grand Galvatron suit but for a Voyager/Leader-class figure.
