I've been reading through the Q&A TFW did with Hasbro on the SDCC show floor, and two answers stood out to me in regards to Studio Series:
Q: For Gamer Edition, is it limited to just WFC or will FOC (Dinobots, Bruticus, etc) and all the Transformers games be included?
A: Pretty much all of it. Think the clear winner will probably be, everybody wants some Devastation stuff, we need to figure out how to do some cell shading for it. Continuing from WFC, think FOC is on the table. Team has even joked about doing Mystery of Convoy, doing some sort of dot deco or something like that. We have the Ultra Magnus now and we have the Rodimus from Kingdom, it’s like why not. Why not some N64 Transmetals too? We can get some of that in there, there’s a lot of options. If it’s been in a video game, we have the opportunity to look at it, taking a little bit of a cue from what the Star Wars team did with their gamer stuff. There’s no licensing issues, we own all of that, it’s all on the table for us. But with the live action movie stuff, there’s always that stuff going on, you still have to deal with Paramount and the licensors.
I do find it funny how a toyline originally made to celebrate the live-action movies could be how we eventually get new toys of the Beast Wars Transmetals. As a kid, I had more Transmetals than standard Beast mode toys, but the latter is personally what I prefer so I have no real desire for new Transmetals. The only Gamer Edition toys I'd really like are Fall of Cybertron Dinobots, because I like those designs more than G1.
Q: Overall, what are the Studio Series fig you’d most like to do?
A: For Bayverse – Sizing and scale wise, movie Ratchet needs to be a Voyager class.
For 86 – Definitely Optimus Prime.
For Rise of the Beasts – Would like to do Unicron’s minions, like the Scorponoks.
Good to know that at least one person at Hasbro (Evan) agrees with what I've been saying for years. Hopefully this happens and isn't too far away.
