Plus that Cogman have a new SHINY vehicle mode. Pretty nice for those who missed out on the original.

You can see the nose of the plain behind his calves in robot mode.

The combiner ports end up making the back of the dino mode look pretty crap
Skritz wrote:You know, they should have tried to make the new Movie Jetfire like a Siege Weaponizer meant to interact with a new Voyager Optimus Prime, or at least with a retool with 5mm ports all over. Yes it would mean 'sacrificing' some elements for either figure but it is the only way to make that feature work. Also, bonus point, we'd have a movie guy who can interact with a Generations gimmick once again.
This was the best thing Hasbro could have done to piss off the least people. They got a god looking jetfire who can be used alone and there is the option to combine for those that do. More sacrifices like you suggest would have just added more rage.

Amazing review, completely agree!

Scrapmetal looks fun, slightly awkward proportions but the transformation is interesting.
Shatter looks sublime and I want her yesterday.
Cogman with a full paintjob? Yes please!
Long Haul has a nice vehicle mode, hope the robot mode is equally good.
But you know what I really like? Look at Rampage's dozer blade. Look at those ports that don't seem to be for transformation. I think we might have a Devastator on our hands.

Ports? I can't see what you mean. I see the black circles which are covering the rivets for a hinge but no ports. Also devastator would be the only thing in the line hilariously out of scale.

Look at the little grey square in the centre of the shovel/blade. It's got a tiny peg in it. It's also surrounded by big slots in the black blade itself, which again don't correspond to the transformation.

I guess we really are getting Dino (DOTM Mirage to those who don't remember) hope the figure does my absolute fave robot design in the entire franchise justice.
Also interesting to see it actually is Scrap-Metal and not just Scrapper with his name. (I presume that Scrapper could be a voyager if there is going to be one)
One quick note that face of Shatter's is her battle mask and is indeed in the movie since you can see her with it on the Cybertron scene in one of the trailers. (On the left in the pic)

Oof. I didn’t see that at all at first. And when you look at how his arms fold up on the sides, and that there’s unfortunately no indication of him having tread whips (at least as far as I can see), it does look like he’s part of a Devastator combiner. He also looks a little simpler than I was expecting,
Well if the Constructicons do turn out to be combiners, I will be a little disappointed, but there isn’t anything that says I can’t display them individually anyway. And maybe a Devastator won’t look bad. I guess we’ll all find out eventually. I’m still in the minority here for not wanting a combiner, but all what that means is that Has/Tak are giving the majority of movie toy fans what they want. So it’s not a bad thing.
Scrap Metal’s bot mode isn’t quite what I was expecting, but he doesn’t look bad. I’m still looking forward to picking him up.
Shatter looks stunning.
I’m happy that Long Haul is so beefy. That chunky look of his is going to make him stand out from the other SS in the best way possible.

I think Rampage is just badly mistransformed. I am pretty sure there are what looks like hinges right where the hands are for the treads. I don't think they will be very long, but I think they are there. We can only hope that they reveal official art for them later on in the day.

Fingers crossed to getting a Devastator out of these great looking constructicons!

I just know that I’m going to pass on him. I’m sure that the toy itself is good, but Cogman was easily one of the worst parts of TLK for me.

I don't think that gray thing in the middle of Rampage's dozer blade is for combination, I think it's just a stop block to keep the blade from moving too much. You can see the other side of it on the one in robot mode. I do however think the treads on the arms indeed form whips, I can see a number of joints that serve no other purpose.
Bucky, I agree with you about not wanting these 'Structies to form a Devastator combiner. That's even worse than Optimus-Jetfire (which I maintain is foolish because it's like trying to have an ROTF Megatron that's a combiner of Movie 1 Megs and Scrapmetal) despite the Constructicons actually combining, simply due to the sheer complexity of it. I think going the route of ROTF Supreme Devy but actually using all the vehicles that went into him in the movie would be a much better approach. I wouldn't want a permanently combined one, though, that'd be a bugger to store.
Dino/Mirage is getting a toy in this line? For real? Ferrari have stopped being smegheads? Nice!
Here's a silly idea for this line: Supreme (or possibly Titan if need be) Wheelie! Why? Because then he could be a 1:1 replica!
...I did warn you it was silly.

Let's not get too excited just yet, it could always be another Studio Series Shadow Raider, Ksi Sentry, Crankcase situation, that being a remold of an existing car figure with a Dino head and blades. (kinda like the AOE Sideways retool)

On an somewhat related note, I've felt a compulsion to buy figures of 2011 Captain America and 2017 Wonder Woman since WWII Bee was revealed, just to have a blockbuster Nazi-Puncher team-up.

We've had no proof that they combine yet. Seeing Devastator is not, in itself, proof of combination. Devy could in fact be an independent toy. It's kinda hard to tell from such a distant grainy look.
Honestly, the smaller-than-scale size of that Devy makes it seem less likely to me that they combine. I mean, if all the component robots were in-scale (and so far they have been), that would almost force Devy to be as well.
Granted, we haven't seen some key ones like Scavenger or Mixmaster (Who is where the combination would really complicate things) yet.

It was announced on stage that Studio Series Devastator would be formed by 8 Constructicons.
Here is a pic showing him off.
If were going off the pic it seems that the combination is going to be:
Mixmaster as the head and probably a deluxe by the looks of things
Scavenger and Overload as the torso as well as shoulders and thighs with Scavenger probably being a Leader and Overload being either that or a voyager.
Scrapper as the right arm and looks like a voyager.
Hightower and Scrapmetal combine into the left arm and both are deluxes.
Longhaul and Rampage as the legs.
Edit: Can't find a source but here is a twitter account with pics from the stage https://twitter.com/GrantWhiteTZ/status/1056584212231438336
Edit: found a pic of the grey model, he's a big toy

Kind of disappointing that they are using red Rampage for the leg, because I'm pretty sure his leg is yellow in the film. Maybe they will re-release Rampage in yellow later down the line?

We're actually getting an SS Devastator!
He looks really good so far, I love that he has the missile launchers and gun turrets on him from the ROTF game.
I was hoping we could see bits of the other constructicons on that gray model but it looks like the model's head and body at least are all one piece.
I'm sure we'll get a yellow Rampage eventually, but getting the red one first does make me hope we'll get an ROTF Bumblebee to battle him!

If that Devy is not made out of poorly painted "tupperware" plastics like the CW version, I'll be all for it. Even if I'd have to buy the components separately.

They will at least be sold individually, at least the ones revealed today.

Now, has it actually been confirmed that all eight of the Constructicons that comprise him will be the same independent Constructicon figures that are to be sold at retail? Because I'm just not sure how the heck they'd pull that off with Mixmaster. It'd be cool, don't get me wrong, but it would be very complex.
I think we all know what he definitely won't be coming with though :3
And hey, there we go: Tread-whips confirmed.

I think the Devastator we see in the stage pic and the grey model are not the actual toy but just a non transforming prototype.
Otherwise why only reveal 3 Constructicons and not the whole bunch?
(Speaking of such where is DOTM Megatron?)

For the other figures revealed this weekend, I'm definitely getting Optimus, Jetfire and Shatter (hopefully a car mode Dropkick will happen one day), undecided on Bonecrusher and the Constructicons, and Megatron and Cogman are both easy passes because I'm happy with SS Voyager Megatron and the original TLK Cogman.

Actually no, it wouldn't force Devastator to be in scale because he was made up of more Construction vehicles than what comprise the Constructicons we know in the film.

I am aware of that. Nine in total, of which the Supreme class omitted 3 and the Legends-class combiner omitted two. However, with Scrapmetal getting a toy they seemed to be going for the overlooked members this time around. So if all - as in really all, all 9 of them, nobody left out this time - the component robots were in scale, then...
And it's been confirmed that this Devy is eight-piece, so there's only one component vehicle missing this time.

Next on the line are up close images of Friday's contenders at Paris Comic-Con, including Studio Series Voyager Class Bonecrusher, Voyager Class Optimus Prime, Leader Class Jetfire, and their combination Jetwing Optimus Prime. Thanks to TFW2005 user oku, we have up close pictures of these lads!
So thoughts on these new figures? Tell us in the Pub forums below!

Thanks to Twitter user @GrantWhiteTZ, who was at the panel, we get to see pictures of the presentation!
Here we get to see two of the 2019 Wave 2 Deluxe Class figures starring Cogman and Scrapmetal! Cogman is merely a redeco of the The Last Knight Premiere Edition Deluxe, which is great for people who missed out on it! We also get Scrapmetal (known as "ze little one" in Revenge of the Fallen).
Here we see the 2nd 2019 wave of Studio Seres Voyager Class figures, Rampage and Long Haul. These are leading up too...
DEVASTATOR! Yep, eight Studio Series Constructicons combine to form the Devastator!
Finally, the last of the 2019 Wave 2 gang, Shatter, sporting her battle mask used on most of her merch.
We get a bunch of images on the new BotBots line!
Here, we also get to see the uber rare Lost Bots! These guys are blindpacked and are the rarest of the series.
Finally, we have some slides on Cyberverse, capping the end off with some concept images of Shadow Striker.
So thoughts on the figures in the presentation? Leave 'em in the Energon Pub forums below!
