    We won't know until it's in hand, if there are it'll be likely minor difference in colors of paint or plastic maybe.

    Doesn’t seem like there are any changes to the paint. Just looks like a simple reissue.

    Fun fact: the alt mode on the voyager is bigger than the MPM

    No, I'm not joking.

    DOTM...why do I have the feeling it's Target finally receiving the stock that it sat on in warehouses all those years ago & are just now trying to blow it out?

    Like I said, tweak the mold. The SS truck mode is garbage, the robotmode has way more flaws than the HftD. the legs on the hftD are so much better and the Chest is better proportioned. The shoulder pads are too small on the SS and overall there is too much that is unpainted and undetailed.

    all they had to do was remove the gimmicks of the HftD and use that space to better refine the transformation and overall look. In my eyes the SS will always be a worse optimus

    Agreed, I think it's so much better looking than the HFTD voyager.

    I mean yeah if you remove all the flaws of the 2010 figure then it definitely has the potential of being the best. The fact of the matter tho, is that it still has those flaws.

    In terms of proportions, paint, and molded detailing, the SS figure is undeniably the winner. In robot mode at least. As we’ve already discussed, there’s no beating the HFTD truck mode. That thing looks immaculate in vehicle form. In robot form tho? Not so much. Wonky proportions, chunky kibble on nearly every part of the body (it is nice to see the vehicle kibble being used instead of faux parts tho, even if it ultimately looks less accurate), and much more simplistic and cartoony looking paint applications (except for on the head).

    Overall, I wouldn’t say that either figure is bad, but one is definitely better than the other, and I feel that the one is the SS. It simply has the advantage of more modern engineering. I completely understand if you still disagree tho. I have my own figure biases as well. For example, I feel that the original TLK Crosshairs figure is better than the new SS one. It doesn’t have the new one’s superior molded detailing and paint, but the trench coat looks way better and the figure isn’t completely hollow. It just is what it is sometimes I guess.

    Tbf that's to be expected. Engineering has improved marginally allowing figures to compress like never before.

    A lot of those sound like re-dos of things already in Studio Series.

    In any case, the full SS lineup for 2023 has already leaked. There's a handful of SS86. A bigger presence by WFC (game). A heavy presence of ROTB. No Bayverse aside from a redeco of Core Laserbeak as DOTM Bumblebee.

    Maybe in 2024 or Buzzworthy Bumblebee.

    Can you stop posting the same list over and over again, please? We know what you want, but we’re not the ones making the toys. Nobody from Hasbro is reading your list on this site.

    These would make great sparkless zombie-cons.

    Nitro was roughly the same size as Ironhide. He definitely doesn’t need the leader class treatment. Mohawk works perfectly for the core class.

    Actually after I posted that I saw Sam Smith's instagram post detailing how is true allegiance is hidden on the vehicle form and I thought that was a really awesome inclusion! I also really like the look of the figure. Although I'm not sure I need it, I do kind of want it.

    Same! I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to get him or Ratchet but if I saw one in person I'd probably bite.

    That's how I got a lot of the earlier SS repaints that I was planning on skipping: shadow raider, rotf starscream, dotm ratchet, and KSI boss (who I discovered that I still have in-package!).
