The toys revealed are:
Transformers 2007 Bumblebee
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Arcee Triplets
Transformers Dark of the Moon Soundwave with Lazerbeak
Transformers The Last Knight WW2 Hot Rod
Bumblebee is a complete new mold and comes with his battle mask and arm blaster. The Arcee Triplets come as a three pack, sold as a single Deluxe price point so will be smaller but vehicles should scale. Soundwave is another new mold, along with his minion Lazerbeak. Hot Rod appears to be a retool of the previous release of WW2 Bumblebee, also featured in the flashback scene of The Last Knight.

I'm not much for Studio Series usually, but man, 3 wants in one go is very sweet. Especially if they come on the shelves all at the same time.
I will see them on Toys R Us shelves... in 2021.

This also means we get to see the numbering for them though, and now I'm even more confused: Is there NO Wave 4 for this year? If the numbers are right, there's a whole 1 figure in-between the currently-releasing wave with Hightower and these new figures, which could easily be the Leader Megs repaint.
In unrelated news, I found Hightower on accident today, so another SS Con family photo is coming soon.

The bike triplets are also a pass, the 3-for-1 is tempting but I don't like all three of their designs and have no attachments to them as characters. Soundwave looks great, I'll absolutely get it even though I prefer the design as a separate character (I'm going to call him Dischord). WW2 Hot Rod, at first my response was "Eh, cool I guess", but the more I look at him, the more I want him. He doesn't just have the new head and chest, it looks like he has new shoulders and some remolding to the car shell as well, plus his WW2 gun that looks close enough to his time gun to pretend. I think I'm going to get him and call him by his early development name of Sidekick, because that's hilarious.

Who ever said there was a wave 4? This line never went according to standards anyway.

I'd already come to the conclusion that there must not be one had you read my post after that one, but thanks for playing nonetheless.

Maybe the whole combine thing was just a concept that was scrapped at the last minute, way back in 2009-ish.

It was. Elita One was supposedly going to be a new mold that combined with Arcee and Chromia, but wound up just being a repainted Chromia.

Bingo. Twas supposed to happen in the movie, but didn't. Michael Bay dropped the idea out of fear that it would cause too much confusion with everything else going on in the movie, and let's face it, that movie had a ton of bonkers noise going on in it that the combination may have very well cluttered the already jam-packed Shanghai battle scene.-Kanrabat- wrote:william-james88 wrote:Wireless_Phantom wrote:I'll get the triplets if they can combine.

The Arcee and Chromia figures still have attachments for the combination. It's too bad, I would have really liked to see it based on the concept art. I must admit I'm also still holding my breath that maybe these have a combo gimmick, but I'm assuming they won't.

With these new figures, Hut Rud can now "Stop the time!", Bumblebee can still sting like a bee, and Soundwave can dispatch Laserbeak to murder some "loose ends".
These figures are slated for a 2020 release.
Are these figures scratching that Studio Series itch? Or do you crave something a little more "Constructicony"? Tell us in the discussion below, and stay tuned for more updates.

Yeah I’m gonna second that. While they’re using concepts for some constructions That didn’t transform or ya know...appeared in the movie, I think that’s where the line is drawn.

At least Elita-1 got her own mold for once

Bee looks amazing.
Soundwave too, a mix of the old deluxe and HA? (or is it just how he's standing?)
The triplets look fun.
Hot Rod is a maybe.
Yeah I loving this wave overall.

Yeah, that’s one thing that a lot of Bumblebees (particularly TLK and SS) have is the really thin forearms, I’m glad they bulked up the new one.
The other thing that this new deluxe does really well that others haven’t is getting the chest to collapse to a smaller shape ( instead of having the entire width of the car there). SS 76 Camaro does it ok, but this new deluxe (and also the MPM) take it to a whole new level that makes it look really, really good.
The plasma cannon is interesting though, we’ve never had one that’s handheld via a 5mm port like this one does, I hope it at least hides his hand to keep it accurate.
Anyways, yeah. I’m thinking about preordering Bee from Pulse, we’ll see how it goes with DOTM Prime

Bot mode is really cool, but the transformation process and jet mode are just really annoying.
Posted by Carnivius_Prime on August 4th, 2019 @ 2:48am CDT
These look nice. Still just impressed how much new is in this Bee. Even got the thigh panels on front for a change. Soundwave is cool too.
Posted by Munkky on August 4th, 2019 @ 3:45am CDT
The last thing I'm really hoping for from Studio Series now is a Voyager Ratchet that scales better with Ironhide and doesn't have a tiny vehicle mode, though I'm not expecting it to ever happen.

I cannot for the life of me get it to stay in alt mode without the cockpit popping off and his shoulder pads popping off. The instructions are also very poorly done. There's some real secret, almost "forcing" things into place that it requires to get it transformed.

The instructions are indeed garbage. The TLK Nitro mold is AMAZING. You just need to do things RIGHT. So, better use a video review to help you out:

Don't think that Bumblebee head's mask is removable so wondering if it can be easily switched with the head from SS01 and it's redecos for a maskless bee if it doesn't come with an alternative head itself.
Also this just been pointed out on twitter by https://twitter.com/Emane_repaint/statu ... 6701511682
Yay he finally has those lil bits on a Deluxe. Just need to put some yellow paint on them.

It's one that many Studio Series fans have been actually asking and wishlisting for ages so I think it's justified this time. Plus it's got a lot of nice improvements so I'mma buying it as soon as possible.
And just cos it was really bugging me to finally have those collar pieces in but unpainted, I decided to 'paint' them on the render.

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:I’ve been working on painting Ironhide recently, and the main part I was having troubles with was the chest piece. I initially painted it gray to match the existing bumper, but it’s quite a bit darker in the CG model. So I then painted it flat gunmetal, but it was so dark it was almost indistinguishable from the black plastic. Now, I combined the two and got a color I’m really happy with, I think it’s a pretty good match to the movie.
Looks great. Just needs a folding bumper like the DNA Design one (which I've had a couple months now and has made Ironhide even moreso one of my fave ever figures). Anyways goodnight.

The only BB I bought in the SS line is VW Bee. I wanted a good Bayverse pre-AOE Camaro Bee for a long time. I think the Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blade BB was the best value-wise, it's well designed with everything integrated...but the proportion and scale is way off.
I think this is it and I'm getting it. The shelfwarming SS Deluxes are not BB but Ratchet, helicopter Dropkick & the Dreads in my area WM & TRU (still exists in Canada). As much as we collectors are sick of all the variants in existence, I think the demand is there.
I prefer my BB in Battle Mask mode. Never liked the regular movie BB face, too skeletal. So I don't mind if this version can't switch faces.
