The same leak gave us a Hot Rod Figure. This is probably the one said to come in the Studio Series line so technically this could be our first look and the line going for the 86 movie aesthetic rather than staying dedicated Bayverse. Of course, that isn't clear since Hot Rod is shown out of context from the rest of the line he belongs with, unlike the Fossilizer.
You'll let us know what you think.

Hotrod looks really panelly in car mode with priority seemingly have gone to mp like bot mode. Hopefully ss86 Grimlock won't look panelly in either mode. Early to say yet on hotrod with the quality of those images but I think I'm okay with the TR one. A lot will depend on how thin vehicle mode is compared to previous line car mode deluxes.

Maybe it's more cartoon-accurate, but for me, it's like a seeker cockpit--the most iconic part of both modes and the centerpiece of the transformation. I can't believe this is going to be a downgrade not only compared to TR but even against PotP.
Downgrade is subjective. I think the car looks good (if a little panel-ly) and the robot looks good. I don't care how it gets there either way. If he displays nice, he displays nice. Just my opinion, I guess I just get jumpy when the negative waves starting coming in. No offense to you.

I also had a really negative experience with my new ER Arcee yesterday, so I'm projecting a little, but that's a subject for another thread.

Don't know if it's been said here before, but according to several leakers, his head turns into Primal's face mace.

That's interesting
Oh and another thing to point out is that the leaks have suggested that the Fossilizers will turn up in Core Class as well. Like the Weaponizers and modulators before them, I'm very open to the idea of them being repainted into oblivion and back

According to the most recent rumors, the five Fossilizers are as follows:ZeroWolf wrote:Autobot N wrote:Paleotrex looks awesome. So far, the Fossilizers are the thing I'm most excited for in Kingdom.

Deluxe class:
Paleotrex - T-Rex (this one we see in the image)
Wingfinger - Pteranodon
Ractonite - Styracosaurus
Core class (though, these two names are still unconfirmed):
Dracodon
Vertebreake
More info about Paleotrex:
Brownish fossil color with some slight printed dark brown weathering, asymmetrical shoulder ( left is giant blade and right is normal) , rib cage thighs , long arms with big claws hands that is dinolegs. The back is dino head , same style with G1 dinobot.
No ankle pivot but has heel 5mm ports. Has knee pivot both horizontal and vertical.
The head is exactly Primal mace , but it open and reveal striking silver chariot face inside with beautiful yellow eye.
This fossilizer is interesting.. I think you all need to be very creative. The head is indeed mace , but other parts i dont know how to integrate them on othwr figures. They are bones and bones after all. The chest can be shield or pauldron for example.
And so far, at least Wingfinger and Ractonite are Predacons.

Don't answer that. Of course they don't.

Mmm, well, some of the original Beast Wars toys do have 5mm fist holes.Cobotron wrote:Any chance these cool Fossilizers integrate with old Beast Wars toys?
Don't answer that. Of course they don't.
Not a lot of them, but some of them.

He's a Voyager not because of his size but because he apparently comes with a ton of extra accessories.Bombshell0001 wrote:I don't thinks Hot Rod should be a voyager . He is no taller than Kup or Arcee

yeah apparently he got visor, buzzsaw, guns, matrix, and articulated hands like er prime, and quite possible a fishing pole

At first glance I actually thought it was the MP, And immediately took the MP off my shelf to compare; And in some places, The new one actually looks better!
Wow.
If that's a preview of things to come with the 86' studio series line; Count me in!!

The Class price points are no longer fully related to the size of the bot within it. For instance, Earhtrise "leader class" Double dealer is a whole head shorter than Studio Series "voyager class" Movie 1 megatron.
Basicaly, it just means you'll get a deluxe sized Hot Rod and have to pay $30 for it.

Agreement, remind me of the bayformer dinobots (in a good way) they look great

But Hot Rod looks good from what I can see in that blurry image. At least his bot mode... Not sure I think his car looks that great.

Since Hot Rod is going to be in the Studio Series line, Rodimus Prime will be coming in Kingdom, with the current speculation being that he might be the Commander class figure since all of the known Voyager and Leader slots have already been accounted for.DMSL wrote:I am in need of a new Hot Rod, but honestly i also really want a new Rodimus Prime in the Voyager scale.

I'm all "IT'S HOTROD!" like Arcee in TFTM. lol Total mark.

So that means he would be a voyager Hot Rod figure with a trailer wrapped around him? Basically a slightly larger version of the PoTP figure?Sabrblade wrote:Since Hot Rod is going to be in the Studio Series line, Rodimus Prime will be coming in Kingdom, with the current speculation being that he might be the Commander class figure since all of the known Voyager and Leader slots have already been accounted for.DMSL wrote:I am in need of a new Hot Rod, but honestly i also really want a new Rodimus Prime in the Voyager scale.

He'd be a Voyager Rodimus.
Basically an updated version of the G1 Rodimus toy in Voyager scale

Hot Rod isn't something I'm interested in, I'm good with TR Hot Rod.

Voyager Cyclonus and Leader Galvatron are both in Kingdom according to leaks, we've just only seen Cyclonus.

Bone dino looks cool and I'm likely wanting the fossilizers now rather than being able to skip them.

I'm intrigued to see how it comes apart and works with other Transformers. Especially with the diversity of all the Beast Modes... Not like vehicles that have a bunch of 5mm ports to work with.
From the studio series thread:
Yep, overflow WFC figures. Had to release a certain high number of G1 figures, and wanted to finally get some Beast Wars into the mix since it's been hammered into them for a decade or so, so the other G1 figures go to/infect SS.
