    That's incredibly fake.

    This has been debunked almost 3 months ago.

    Seeing how we know so little about wave 8 this seems a bit of a stretch (particularly the remolds) so I'm guessing fake.

    I gotcha, I'm curious to see what you do!! Any thoughts on how you'd do the mod??
    Well that's interesting. I've watched a few of that users YouTube vids, and he speculates a lot, so I'm very skeptical about this.

    Yeah, I have two ideas:
    1) Shave the clear fake chest and glue the SS chest on the fake grill, shaving either two little slots on the grill or the tabs from the SS chest. This will prevent him from transforming.

    b) Split the SS chest in two, gluing it directly to the clear fake chest (this will also require to cut them). In theory, this will allow the transformation to happen.

    I'll try to post pictures since I'm pretty sure all that sounds like gibberish (I confused myself trying to type that)

    Its nothing huge just that I had a long conversation with my source about some things and it boils down to this.

    Hasbro has been quiet and will be until July or September the reason why there are somethings in the pipe that are going to be big surprises / welcomed additions during the 35th anniversary.

    Soundblaster, the cell shaded Optimus And Megatron, smokescreen and red wing barely scratch the surface.

    My source went on to name some stuff that could happen in SS and Siege

    Ill have to check if I can post it all

    SS - Sideways - Possibly
    SS - Dotm Bumblebee - Possibly
    Seige Arcee - possibly
    Another Siege Seeker not Redwing

    Just to start

    No, doesn't sound like gibberish at all, it makes perfect sense!!

    It sounds pretty cool, but if split the chest that would expose the empty chest cavity, right between the windshield gap. So would you glue something in that space to fill him up?

    I'm listening...

    Is it sad that I'd rather RotF Arcee? And her sisters?

    It’s about damn time Sideways got himself a new toy! He’ll look amazing with his twin-brother Barricade. I doubt Hasbro has Audi’s license, but who cares? I collect Transformers, not scale model cars. The ROTF did well, but I believe they will do a better job with the chest and shoulders now that they have ILM files:

    I’ve got high hopes for DOTM Bumblebee too. Of my 2007 movie collection, he and 07 Megatron are all I need left. May he be good!

    Volkswagon Group owns Lamborghini who was licensed for Lockdown in the Studio Series line (and obviously BB Movie Bee), so I can't see the license being a sticking point.

    I've got a bit of a hunch it will be a heavy retool of SS Barricade.

    Though Audi is under the same umbrella as VW, getting the VW license doesn't mean that Audi has to give their license too.

    No id agree id rather have SS versions of the sisters than another seige figure that said I think at least Arcee is possible in studio series mabey an exclusive set if you split them up.

    Arcee - Target
    Elita-1 - Wal-Mart
    Chromia - Amazon

    I bought some clay recently so I could try and mold whatever's necessary.

    Nope. As bad they may look on screen, they’re being made by the same people who converted the generally hideous CGI models of Megatron, Starscream, and Jetfire, into wonderful lively figures.

    What if they were split up between 3 separate figures like with Drift and the baby dinobots? I know some would rather them be deluxe but I think legends size would be better for them. Maybe even the unused combined mode.

    Is it weird that I am more excited for a redeco and retool of Bumblebee than any other figure mentioned?

    Although Bee turns into different concept camaros throughout the OG trilogy his overall look remains the same so all the tiny differences fly over my head. But hey, this is still a concept camaro SS Bee and that's something we've needed for a long time!

    This also serves as an excuse to sell the twins individually

    Concept Camaro Bumblebee’s also something I’ve been dying to see for a long time. He’s definitely going to be just an SS-01 reshell, but if possible I’d want a new chest engineering similar to Stinger. The SS-01 mold isn’t bad, it just looks too dumpy in my opinion to capture the sleekness of Bumblebee’s CGI model:
