Speaking of the Studio Series line, it looks like the VW Bug version of Bumblebee won't be available on the Hasbro site, unless it gets added just before the sale starts.

That mold is coming out in a bunch of different ways. The exclusive releases are retailer specific, so of course HTS wouldt have them, but there is no reason to suspect that they wont have the mass retail release of the mold, SS 18.

Its not hard to find, already 5 live action films have been made
Jokes aside, I will admit, for a film where the marketting is about this being more G1 than anything before (the director having grown up with G1, BB beign a volkswagon, it taking place in the 80s), I do find it really odd that a G1 coloured jet transformer wearing a stylized G1 head of Starscream is not starscream. I know marketting people can be real dumb but this strikes me as an odd choice and I dont kow why they made it. They knew it would be a talking point, and the shot was chosen for the trailer so I am just puzzled as to the point of making us think one way and revealing something left field.
I dont really care about the end product since I am watching this for the film itself, but its still an odd decision in how this jet's identity has been handled.
EDIT: Dammit, I thought i was in another thread.

I'm specifically talking about the SDCC gold version, with the two cassette. The Vol 2 version.

Its retailer exclusive rather than convention exclusive, so no it wont be available there.

Munkky wrote:As much as I understand how popular Bumblebee is, SEVEN Deluxe Bumblebees from the same two moulds in one toyline seems a bit excessive, even if some of them are exclusives. Along with Dropkick not looking like his design in the movie (I don't expect a full triple-changing Dropkick toy) and flat-out making up a character to repaint Lockdown into instead of just retooling it into a new Hot Rod, I think Studio Series has really dropped the ball after wave 2.
I mean it may seem excessive at first but only two (maybe 3) are retail figures the rest being exclusive in some way.
01 Bee: While a retail figure it is also a version of Bumblebee we haven't had a figure of since 2007 (maybe there was something in 2009 but I doubt it) and the figure back then wasn't exactly film accurate.
15 Bee: This is probably an exclusive since it comes with a Charlie fig but it seems to be unchanged from 01 so I guess they could of done something with it.
18 Bee: This seems to be the retail version of the VW Bee which we haven't had a figure of before and since it's his form in the upcoming film had to have at least a couple figures dedicated to. Also it's pretty spaced out from the first retail Bee so I don't think both retail Bee's will be on shelves at the same time.
19 and 20 Bee: Both are gold repaints of the previous two and both are exclusives, while they may have numbers I honestly doubt either are taking placements from any possible characters, plus how angry would fans be if these places were used for say Sideways and Jolt?
24 and 25 Bee: These are a two pack and probably exclusive in of itself, one of the figs is a re-release of a previous line Bee and the only version of a modern Camaro Bumblebee in the Studio Series line so far and the other seems to just be an unchanged version of 18, again I don't think these are taking places for any other possible figure.

Well, as I stated before, I can actually see a purpose to Shadow Raider that would not be served by Hot Rod: Providing Lockdown's gun, and his masked head. Packaging those with Hot Rod wouldn't make any sense at all (and would be to Hot Rod's detriment, considering). And making him a redeco character vaguely based on another car seen in Age of Extinction (as opposed to just an alternate Lockdown) helps counteract the "But you already have that toy" response.
TLDR he's a glorified accessory pack for Lockdown.

I don't want them to retool another Lockdown into Hot Rod like they did with TLK. THe third party Hot Rod's have shown how damn cool he looks when he's been done all new from scratch.

I'm really starting to hate Bumblebee.
Dear Hasbro,
Variety is the spice of life.
Right now, all you're giving us is salt. How about some oregano or thyme or monosodium glutamate? Pepper? Hell, I'll settle for anise right now and I HATE black jellybeans. Too much salt gives people high blood pressure.

Because he's the mascot of the Live Action Movies. Simple as that.

I don't ever recall a time that I thought of the G1s, and thought, oh yeah Bumblebee is why I got into these in the first place.

He's a season 1 Autobot and he was seen hanging with humans.

KSI Sentry: boring, no thanks.
Shadow Raider: the one conflicts me. I was going to get Lockdown, but with this version having his masked head and a different color scheme and new character, I could justify it alongside my AoE Lockdown without getting 2 technically. But the Lockdown comes with the better sword accessories, grr.
Ratchet: I got the 1st, I'm good.
Starscream: yes please, I have been waiting for the saw.
Ironhide: Eh, I'm not digging him too much.
VW Bee: Oh yes please, great job with that one!!
Dropkick: also yes please! Though I am bummed they didn't make him a muscle car.
Bonecrusher... oh wait, he's not there. Where is he dammit?????? And a new leader figure?????

transformers_va wrote:Why is Bumblebee apparently so popular? Imho, he wasn't that good in the G1 cartoon, comics, etc., and the Bay movies didn't help with the whole not talking aspect to an already weak character. I'm personally getting annoyed at the focus in on Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Optimus.. there are sooooo many other Transformers that are much cooler/better than they could ever be.
Sorry about the rant, but with all the Bumblebees in the Studio Line..
Bumblebee is the kid-appeal character - on the small side, usually but not always yellow, has a lot of moxie for his size, often best friends with human companion characters if present, usually cute in some way. G1 Bumblebee set a trend followed by most subsequent kid-appeal characters to some degree: G1 Hot Rod, G1 Wheelie, Beast Wars Cheetor (Who spawned a quote about the concept: "Little. Yellow. Special. Kids love him."), Armada Hot Shot, Energon Ironhide, Cybertron Scattorshot (though he splits the kid-appeal duties with Jolt), movie Bumblebee, Animated Bumblebee. Don't know for sure right off about RiD (2001) or TFP.
Anyway, marketer logic (which is often out of sync with reality) says that since the kid-appeal character appeals to kids, toys of them are infinitely more marketable and thus they should get a bazillion toys (as well as get huge toys despite part of the character's appeal being that they're SMALLER. Beast Machines Supreme-class Cheetor, Animated jumbo-size Bumblebee, the assorted Leader-class movieverse Bumblebees - DotM Leader-class Bumblebee being the stupidest by far... And Hasbro's marketers never seem to learn despite how many of these have shelfwarmed. Including Supreme-class Cheetor, the one who started the trend.). RiD through the Unicron Trilogy, this bad habit was suppressed. But come the movies it flared right back up and hasn't been properly quashed since.
As for movieverse Bumblebee not talking normally most of the time and using radio clips instead, that apparently is Spielberg's fault. Because he thinks it makes him more interesting and more appealing. As for his being such a main focus, well... Kid appeal aside, the fact that they have to deal with shooting in actual physical locations means that his size makes him easier to fit into scenes than larger characters.
I do think there are a couple too many Bumblebees in the line, and the "one accessory per figure" thing (which has only a couple exceptions) is annoying and obviously done for profiteering (oh, you want Ratchet's gun? You have to buy a whole new Ratchet toy that doesn't even reflect a movie paintjob). On the other hand, some of them are nice to have. Classic Camaro 'Bee needed a new toy, the TLK Bee reissue is probably welcome to people who missed out on getting Proper TLK Deluxe 'Bee at retail because of how horrible TLK's distribution was (due in part to how badly Wave 1 shelfwarmed). But it is a bit much all the same.
hausjam wrote:I will pretty much be sticking to 3rd party from now on. Between Studio series and WFC, the immediate future of Hasbro looks rather disappointing.
What's your problem with WFC: Seige? No, really, what's your problem? We're getting a Chromia that actually turns into her car mode, a new Deluxe Ironhide/Ratchet van mold, Firedrive for people who don't want to buy Legends Targetmaster Roddy, Cog to go with Fortress Maximus, a new and very G1-looking Voyager Optimus (it figures, right after I finally found a reasonably-priced CW Optimus), a cab-robot-and-trailer-armor Ultra Magnus who looks more G1 in robot mode than CW Mags did (plus seems to have a Voyager-size cab!) and while his altmode looks more RiD than G1 it can probably carry one more Deluxe car than CW Mags, a new Deluxe Sideswipe (a welcome sight since while Universe Sideswipe is a good figure, he's also one of those Costs A Heap Secondhand Because Because toys now. My only disappointment is he probably can't combine with CW Optimus since we still need a combining Sideswipe and Windcharger), a new Hound that comes with more weapons than Universe Hound did and is likely a little bigger...
I can understand being disappointed in the Studio Series, but WFC: Seige is looking pretty appealing. Certainly not grounds for "WAAAH WAAAH I'M JUMPING TO 3P ONLY EVEN THOUGH MOSTLY WHAT THEY DO IS MASTERPIECE-STYLE FIGURES AND NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLASSICS/GENERATIONS STUFF OUTSIDE OF 50 DIFFERENT NOT-DEVASTATORS".

In addition to their upcoming Grimlock upgrade kit (who badly needs it, especially that new dino tail and robot hands), DNA Design have a Megatron kit coming out which notably adds new side sections that are small wings in tank mode and fold up to cover up some of the hollow sides of the robot mode and a right hand to have in place of his stabby gun arm if you want to.

Saw a custom Leader Class Scorn on eBay today. Made from an AoE Leader Class Grimlock (suppose that makes that mold good for something). If a Hasbro one looks like this (but with the spikes the listing says is missing) and that nice metal paintwork I might be tempted.

Well yeah i wasn't saying it would look exactly like that but it gives enough of an idea how a Hasbro Leader Class Studio figure could look of Scorn that even I (who didn't really care for the Deluxe or Voyager Scorns) may be tempted to fork out for one if it had the size and paintjob to match Grimlock.

Please, no more Studio Series Bumblebees. Not for a while, anyway. Please.
For what it's worth, I'm on board with the idea of SS Devastator. Despite the "alien scrotum" I thought he was an amazing presence on screen and an incredible achievement in CGI. I loved the Legends figure but always wanted a decent one somewhat in-scale with the main toys. Devastator was a major reason why I went to see the movie twice in the cinema. I know it'll be expensive but, done to the same quality as the rest of the line, it'll be worth it and very well-received.
I wish I'd been at SDCC to ask John Warden and the team about when in the new movie we see the two different gold Bees and the four cassettes. I'm getting real tired of not-seen-on-screen characters/toys getting the SS treatment. I know I don't have to buy them but given the objective of the line it seems like a waste of time.

They might be numbered but their exclusives and are not taking actual places in the Studio Series line away from any other potential figure.
Unless you wanted actual characters like Barricade and Sideswipe to be exclusives.
