    It has been states over and over that the 86 guys in Studio Series, were originally part of WFC before they were shoved into SS to make room for BW in WFC 3.
    Even so, Springer, Cyclonus, Rodimus Prime and the Quintessons are dead on accurate to the cartoon, so why does it matter whether they're released in Studio Series or not?

    It doesn't matter, but fact stands that not everyone spends their free time reading interviews about how toys are made, so he likely was not aware of those behind-the-scenes details.
    To someone not-in-the-know I can see how someone would get the impression that the Studio Series figures are 'meant to be more accurate' at a surface glance.

    I have no interest in the R.E.D. line but I might pick up Galvatron; I've always been a sucker for that design.

    Watch it be another "Evolution" set. *sigh* If the 4-Pack is all Bumblebee, or repaints of already released figures, I think people may riot in the aisles at Target. Some of them employees. lol

    Heck yes! I know red has a load of problems, but I’m holding hope for improvements, and as well as being great character choices, both those designs look like they might allow for a better built in ab crunch.

    Droolingly hope you’re right

    As long as Netflix Bumblebee is in that pack, then I don't mind

    100% agree. I’d love to see Doubledealer retooled into Cybertron Defense Red Alert first, and then other toys like Darksyde Megatron or Machine Wars Soundwave in Selects.

    The Buzzworthy one can't be an evolution pack, as both listings have titled it worlds collide.

    I agree! Globally, the artwork and the play value put in place in the WFC packaging are excellent. That's the reason I keep the box for all my WFC collection!

    I’m late to this party but yes I would like a Kingdom Blaster so he can fight with my Netflix Soundwave!

    BRING HIM ON!

    This news made me pull out my CW Blaster that I put away a couple of years ago. After a couple minutes he's already put back away. :lol 
    I feel like I forced myself to like that mold when it came out and it did not age well for me. Onward and upward.

    If only...

    It was more of a dig about it being part of the Buzzworthy line than anything else. Sorry for the confusion.

    If I was retooling Doubledealer, I'd make him into Earthmode Machine Wars-inspired Soundwave with Sundor as the double-agent condor.

    Why? The WfC and SS86 styles are effectively the same thing.

    I'm wondering if SDCC was a placename and this is actual part of a new Pulsecon coming.
