I'm kinda curious how that would look with your Hot Rod head on it. Definitely getting Hot Rod vibes from it.

With the gunmetal base and the bright accent colors, he does! Just right now I can't seem to remove Hot Rod's head safely, but if I do get it off I'll give it a try!

Ratchet is the only thing on this list I'm definitely buying, it's just a damn shame that I have to wait another ten months for him. I'm still undecided on whether or not to get any of the Rise of the Beasts toys, my downsized Studio Series collection is mostly focused on the 2007 movie with a little bit of Dark of the Moon, so as much as I like Voyager Cheetor I don't know as of yet if there's really a place for him anywhere in my collection as I'm planning it now.

Here's my custom NEST Bumblebee! I painted him with Bayverse Bumblebee detailing (specifically DOTM) so that he'll fit in better with NEST Ratchet and Bonecrusher!

I'd be down for more of these NEST repaints, the two I have so far have been very fun! Brawl and Starscream would be cool ones to see in the future.

Love the highlights, and the way they show up in robot mode but are hidden in altmode.

Let’s see, the ones that interest me are Snarl (I love stegosauruses) and perhaps Nightbird, but only IF she’s
A) less kibbly than the ROTB line’s
B) is more screen accurate
AND C) I actually like the movie

Bummed that there is such a time gap between RotB figures this year in SS, and that outside of that there are almost nothing from the first 5 movies.

I read Frenzy on those listings and I got excited, then I realized it was an SS86 figure. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we're getting a red Rumble in the new, improved cassette man mold, but what I really want is a new 2007 Frenzy.

The exact same thing happened to me, I was really hoping that Freezer was a pre-tool for 07 Frenzy.

It still might be, there have been some cases of years between retools already

Thanks to JT Prime we have a breakdown of the Studio Series coming out for the rest of the year. This shows us the month they are meant for release and which characters are getting repacked from previous waves. The good news here is that none seem shortpacked since WFC Megatron and Optimus are from previous waves. Speaking of "WFC", those listings are said to refer to the High Moon games. We also see that some toys from the Rise of the Beasts film will be available months after the release of the film, like Primal, Mirage and Nightbird. So it may be a while before fans know what they look like and decide if they should wait for those or buy the mainline versions.

Hydra and Delta? Code names?

[Sabrblade]

Hydra and Delta? Code names?

Yes.

[Rodimus Prime]

I still have Prime, Megatron and Bee from WFC, I wonder what the size differences will be with the new figures. IIRC the older figures were sold as deluxes.

[DeathReviews]

They sure pushed Leader 86 Snarl out towards the end of the queue didn't they?

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the WFC game figures...

[First-Aid]

Hydra and Delta? Code names?

Yes.

No further info?

Not at this time.

Thank you! I'm planning on painting the other NEST figures in a similar style.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they decided to introduce WFC during a movie year. Buzzworthy is at least helping out with the recent NEST figures and Optimus reissue (and hopefully we hear more about Hatchet soon), but yeah, it's kinda lame that the Bay movies are getting neglected this year.

[Cheetron]

I'm honestly waiting to hear more about the Walmart exclusives that walmarts discontinued before the second wave could come out

[Till-all-R1]

Besides I thought WFC was sufficiently covered, no?

[william-james88]

It's very lacking scale wise with the only toys of the leader characters being deluxes.

By "leader characters" he means Optimus Prime and Megatron. They're just Deluxes.

Bumblebee's even bigger than both of them.
