Except you're overlooking one major thing.

Unlike anybody else...The Fallen is literally one of The First Primes. By the lore of the movies themselves, the whole point of the Seekers being the first Transformers was because The First Primes couldn't. If The Fallen could transform, then why the hell does Jetfire even exist.

 

I STILL can't get over that STUPID design, I'm still going to get the figure, it looks PHENOMENAL in design, but the STUPID FAKE WHEELS! AAAAHH!!

I know everyone's thinking about the SS rotf the fallen, but when are we gonna get an offical leader class g1/potp show styled megatronus prime?

 

I’m ok with Arcee’s face, but if there is kit in the future giving her a more cartoon face, this Arcee could fit well in other collection

 

How dare you.

 

Looks more like Mp blackout to me...but then again that's just my eyes wanting to see that cuz I WANT IT ALOT

 

So when do y’all think we should expect preorders? I’m surprised they weren’t put up today to coincide with the stream. I’m thinking some point next week or a random drop like Kingdom wave 4.

 

Do you really believe Hasbro will respect THAT element of the lore for his Studio Series figure? You must be kidding yourself if you think Hasbro will have a non transforming figure IN a Transformers toyline, where everybody else in the line transforms into something.
Hasbro's logic is: "Transformer character in a Transformers mainline, it HAS to transform", as simple as that. It doesn't matter if the character doesn't transform in the movie, that character's toy will have an alt mode for sure.
Before you bring up Maccadam, that guy was a BAF spread across multiple figures, The Fallen is not

 

Hell, slap a few wheels on the concept art and it’ll look like a pretty great Cybertronian car.

 

Didn't they do that with the Quintesson Judge for the War for Cybetron toyline?

 

EXACTLY @Autobot Burnout

 

I tend to think Powermaster Optimus gets a new mold. The Titans Return one was cool but weak in that regard and why bother if they do that again. A trailer swap with Motormaster could be perfect.......BUT Menasor is a huge combiner and has flat panels with other 'bots porting over the top of him. PMOP has the cab nested inside and the limbs are thick without any other characters making them up. I will be curious to see what they do, but I 100% want him and GodBomber.

 

No, I don't expect Hasbro to, but I haven't expected Hasbro to actually live up to the 'accurate' part of Studio Series ever since SS Brawl inexplicably has a tank barrel shoved up his ass.

Yeah, that was a thing I completely forgot existed.

 

Yeah if someone makes a more G1 head (or if the ball joints for this and ER Arcee are the same size) then this figure goes from a maybe to a 100% purchase

 

Hey, he teansformed!.... Kind of.

 

yeah, he turned into a.... uuuhh... ummmm... maybe it's... no... uuuuuuuuuuuhhhh...

 

I dont mind the head sculpt on arcee, its a breath of fresh air from the friendly looking smiley face that the last few toys have been (not counting the rotf ss toy) also love the antenna on her really makes her unique

 

Anyone getting this vibe?

 

Regarding Arcee, I'm just going to quote UltraPrimal.

"Oh my gosh! I loooove her!"

The backpack looks like a legitimate set of boosters! It sticks out a little, but blends into the visual design in a way that makes it feel like it belongs there. Does that make sense?

 

It doesn't look like she's carrying an entire car on her back so it's a big step up from most Arcee toys.
