First Look at Transformers Studio Series WFC Game Megatron and ROTB Rhinox

Rhinox and Gamer Megs both looks AMAZING.

Let's hope Megs don't have huge gaping holes in vehicle mode like for Optimus.

Wow, Rhinox looks really cool!

I think it's aa little strange that they have dedicated new toys to the High Moon games which are out of print and unavailable for purchase. I wish they'd at least make the originals available again, if not a remaster.

Generations WFC Megatron was a great toy for the time, and I think still holds up well today, so hopefully this one is awesome. Including the mace and coloring it correctly like in the images on the box is a good start (WFC Optimus' axe does not look good in-person).

Interesting that they're giving Rhinox a big hammer and not his chainguns. Those are kind of iconic for him. Still a cool look for him, actually excited to see this movie.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Gamer/Voyager Megatron. It could be good, if it's not loaded with hollow portions. If it's nice and solid with good heft, then it should be all right. The 'mace' doesn't look like it fits in though - in either mode. Kind of like Blitzwings energon mittens, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Damn! I needed these today...everyone in my office is sick with weird stuff and there's a full moon AND an eclipse so...

Rhinox looks really nice. I'm impressed how well the Rhino mode, just disappears into the Robot mode, with minimal kibble. Hopefully there's not a massive rhino backpack we can't see though.

Megs is amazingly good looking. Definitely picking him up on pre-order the he shows up. Also, the mace looks great.

Rhinox beastmode looks like an incomplete Armadillo but at least it's truer to the live action. Robot mode looks pretty good. I'd be tempted for the other rhinox if if was released in foxkids transmetal colours.

Megatrons just money saved to me, so no complaints there. Hope he is good inhand for those that want him.

wow finally a good looking rhinox for rotb

Rotb, I always read Revenge of the Beasts -_-

For me, the mainline Rhinox looks a bit better. Happy that we get 2 Generations styled versions so people can choose.
WFC Megatron looks awesome, will get.

As for the Leader class story, nah, Leaders cost 70 euro's now in Holland (72 usd). That's too much for an Ultra class figure. They aren't Leaders. Guys, Cybertron Optimus is about as big as War for Cybertron Commander Jetfire, and Cybertron Optimus is a Leader.

We are getting voyagers with a backpack > Leader. A voyager slightly bigger > Leader. It's getting a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
I hope we get a mainline Scourge so I can choose which version I like best.

Hyped for the movie, from what I see from the trailer it's just fun and respect for the fans.

Pretty sweet Rhinox
Might get that one and pass him off as a transmetal rhinox or predacon rhinox. Or a post Beast machines rhinox with the memories of tankor idk

The new era of leaders started with Jetfire in the thrilling 30 line in 2014, so almost a decade ago. Did you find that toy to be leader class?

Rhinox is looking good with his giant meat hammer.

For Megatron, we need views from the back for robot mode and underneath for tank mode. I have a feeling at least his legs are hollow.

Hoping for an FOC Megatron at some point, really do like the new WFC one though. He's gonna be a definite pickup for me once I have the funds and find him.

Yeah, those games deserves a solid remaster to be released on Steam.

I'm still playing the original on my PS3.

I still have both for X-360.

But a PC remaster (that would not be a buggy mess) would give the chance to everyone who missed out.
And I may even buy them again.

True, it has been going downhill for quite some time. I consider to be honest that Jetfire (and seeker repaints / Ultra Magnus) large Ultra's more than Leaders. But Ultra was too close to Mega so they dropped it as a scale I think.

Armada Overload is that a Mega or an Ultra? I know Armada Jetfire was an Ultra and Armada Scavenger a Mega.

It's confusing

Man I mis Escalation, that was soo cool guys.

Overload was a Max-Con, but, strangely, his Energon redeco Ultra Magnus was sold as one size class higher in that line, right alongside Tidal Wave (who had previously been sold as a Giga-Con in the Armada line).

Didn't Energon Magnus come with a set of 3 exclusive mini-cons as well? They were a repaint of the Requiem Blaster, I think. Wouldn't that be enough to bump up the price to the next class?

It sure is, or rather, Energon Ultra Magnus was bumped up a Class possibly to not to crowd the first Mega Class wave with Treadbolt and Ironhide, and to give Command Class which only had Tidal Wave a second figure (solid cases for anything lower than Leader was a no-go).

I think I'm going to start using old Hasbro Class scale sizing to describe myself.

I think the new ones are more appropriate for me.

I'm not overweight, I'm Titan Class!

Plenty of names to choose from too

I just tracked down one of the last gaps in my Studio Series collection - here’s Lockdown!





It’s actually the Takara version, which is kinda neat! Only difference is the box, but it’s still cool to compare to the regular Studio Series boxes.

Lockdown himself is great! The molded detail is especially good on this guy, and the gunmetal paint looks really nice too. There actually isn’t too much paint work I have to add for alt mode!

I wasn’t too sure if he used both these weapons at the same time in AOE, but I rewatched the final battle again, and he does!

Just finished up the current NEST trio in Studio Series with my custom NEST Ratchet! This guy may be my favorite of the bunch, detailing both modes (especially robot mode) was a blast!

The neon-green highlights for the bot mode is a very nice touch!

Excelent choice of colors, black and neon never fails. Reminds me a bit of the Night Ops Ratchet repaint.

I really wish I had gotten more of his Shadow Raiders, I enjoy that mold, it turned out nice!

Also well done on your Ratchet. The green definitely pops with the NEST colors

I never saw Shadow Raider at retail, but I wish I had! They're real cool looking.

Thank you!

Just ran across this on Baidu…

SS RotB Optimus Prime it would seem.

Yes, that image is part of the recently shown Shanghai convention images.

Just got informed that my local Gamestop has WFC Barricade but can't sell him until the 19th.

The SS Prime looks good, and I am glad that it appears as if his sword can be hand held or peg in like it is coming out of his arm. That is a nice touch I wish the DotM Prime could do

We saw that the next wave of Studio Series voyagers were ready for distribution and someone got their hands on Rhinox. They made a quick review showing that the shoulders are mistransformed on the box. We also get a look at the Rhino mode from different angles, some less flattering than others.

Let us know what you think!

Okay. SO I saw his face and my first thought was Doom from the first Fantastic Four movie. Am I wrong?

Is it just me or does he look like he’s one green cloak away from ruling his own fictional eastern European country?

‘’Behold the power of Dr. Rhinox”…
No…
‘Behold the power or Rhino-Doom”

He looks pretty dang good to me

That Rhinox look very, VERY good. He may be the best looking one so far, all lines included.

Possibly coroborating that date, Amazon says mine will be here on the 21st. Also he is in stock on Pulse right now as well.

LMAO. My post just before you made yours said the same thing

Looks very nice in both bot and alt mode. But... they took away his ability to open his mouth? The feature that was on every other Rhinox figure? And now also the iconic roaring scene from the trailers?

*edit* NVM, rewatched the vid and there seems to be a tiny hinge for the tiny brown underside of the rhino mouth. So it probably can open. He's just got a tiny mouth now compared to his other counterparts.

According to The Low Road, it's not his mouth blast that you should be worried about

I am a bit disappointed most of these voyager beast-formers only have a basic "stand-up and walk" transformation. So much wasted puzzle-potential.

Transmetal Rhinox outclasses this toy in complexity.

All except the Transmetal Rhinox mold.

It really is. Plus the odd decision to give them zero beast kibble in robot mode means they've all got pretty generic and boring silhouettes.

Not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about the battle master Rhinox that splits it's ass open and transforms into a phallic gatling gun? Fear the ass?
