Accuracy issues aside, it's notable that this version of Megatron also barely fits in his box as well- looks like he'll be a large sized Voyager, like his predecessor. Mixmaster on the other hand, is quite a wide figure, taking up a lot of space in his box.the movie 1 toy has the 2nd movie torso and the art on the box is the first movie body with the 2nd movie head
And in other Studio Series news, it appears that a couple of Japanese Twitter users have gotten their hands on figures of Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1 and managed to combine them. If you'll remember a decade ago, the original deluxe sized versions of Arcee and Chromia had parts on their figures that served no other purpose, but were rumored to have been part of a leftover movie concept that would have shown the three combining. As it is, those features made it into Arcee and Chromia's figures, but Elita-1 was relegated to a redeco of Chromia's figure, so the concept was nixed.
Whether these Studio Series figures are officially supposed to combine, or these are just some clever fan modes remains to be seen, but there are some good shots of all three fembots in both modes included. These pictures come from Twitter users @konkiti1031 and @Pta56556613. Thanks to Seibertronian Sammythekat for the heads up!

Also, weren't we told that they wouldn't combine, or was that just a rumour?

Just a little bit extra put into each one so that something actually transforms in Elita-1's left hand/arm so it's not just a wheel. Some spikes like Ghost Rider or some hands or something like Brimstone/Chopsaw or Oil Slick. Getting a motorcycle tire to the face would mess up a human easily and then some. However, to a much larger Decepticon though, it's not going to do much of anything but tickle them.
I'll get this set anyway as it looks interesting but this is also one set that I'm really looking forward to seeing if any company makes one of those upsized AND upgraded KOs of.
Here's some concept pictures of the combined mode for reference. I think they're both legit. They're both pretty different form each other but the first one kinda sorta looks like what we got with the toys. If the components were in different spots.

As for the size, I don't think adding extra parts in would have helped as they are small (scale wise to the rest of the cast) so having them be voyager would just make them too fiddly.

We were told absolutely nothing. And honestly, I don't think this is the combined mode the fans asking for one wanted.

These pics don't show an actual combination, just the two Twitter users' experimented attempts at trying to figure out a combination.Keelan wrote:I don't really like the way Elita-1's cycle mode hangs off of the back of the combiner, but other than that it looks great.

But I am stoked that there appears to be a way to make some combinations

As for '07 Megatron, that's one I'll get on day one. Especially because e will go perfectly well in the SS Megs display, is 1000X superior to the original '07 voyager, and is PROPERLY PAINTED from the get-go.

Posted by Bounti76 on December 6th, 2019 @ 5:45pm CST
I'm holding out hope that Shatter is far better than her car mode figure. That was a fiddly mess. This one, going off this picture alone, looks to be better articulated, for starters.

Roadbuster is looking awesome - actually, all these look really good! I'm not interested in Shatter but they got it to look just like the CGI model, and Jeep Bee is looking great too!
With the deluxes revealed, I wonder how long until we see Sentinel!

Jet shatter looks like a mess, hopefully it holds together more than the car version.
Jeep Bee is not looking good. Guess I just don't like the BB movie designs, they are to simple and G1.
Hopefully this reveal means we will be seeing Sentinel Prime, Scrapper, and Overload soon!

Shatter actually holds together really well in car mode. In robot mode, she's a mess. Loose joints, very limited articulation... she's the Deluxe Airachnid of Studio Series.

2020 list so far:
Earthrise Sunstreaker
Earthrise Quintessa
Earthwise Quintesson
Studio Series Shatter V2
Studio Series Roadbuster
Earthrise Tracks is questionable until I see some images.

So, thank you, Hasbro, can't wait to pick him up. And hopefully the other two will be released later in the year.

Nah, I don't think she's that bad. Besides, the joints aren't even loose on mine, and I can get her into some good poses. I'd say the very first SS Bumblebee is worse than Shatter since I can't actually transform or pose it without the roof flying off.
Posted by EvasionModeBumblebee on December 6th, 2019 @ 9:56pm CST
He never had one in the movie, did he? I always assumed he did because all the figures had one, but I don’t think it was actually in the movie. I do hope that Gatling gun can attach to his shoulder like in the movie, though.

Shatter has a sublime robot mode, but the Harrier mode, oof. Could be the renders making it look worse to be fair, and the robot mode really is awesome, but having spent a lot of time around a real (albeit different model of) Harrier, it kinda pains me.
What really annoys me about Shatter though, is that we've had a mediocre car version and a good looking jet version, whilst Dropkick is the reverse- a kinda meh helicopter version with a cool car version. I was originally going to get both of them in car form, but then Shatter turned out to be a bit crap. So I either have them "mismatched" or accept that Shatter is gonna need mods to not suck.
Damn, first Airachnid, now Shatter. What is it with Hasbro and ballsing up the toys of really cool female Decepticons?
Bumblebee looks great, though it looks like the chest is fake, which kinda sucks.
The real question, though, is when do we get Blitzwing?

No, he had it. He only used it briefly, however. There may be a few other points in the film for which he was seen using it, but the most noticeable scene (as well as the first one that comes to my mind) would be after it's revealed that the Autobots had not perished on the Exodus, when they appeared in time to save the humans from some random Decepticon Scouts. Roadbuster can be seen using his saw to quite brutally tear apart one of the aforementioned D. Scouts.

Roadbuster looks really good, and I am super excited for more Wreckers. Bring us Leadfoot so we can complete the armored Trio!!
Shatter looks really good too, nails her triple changer body style, all the way down to the location of additional car parts and head. Looking forward to her. And now, we can have car Dropkick and jet Shatter transform between 2 modes, and look and be great, while the other mold for each can act as the 3rd vehicle mode.
Bee looks really good! They nailed that jeep look, which I really did enjoy in the movie. well done there, excited for him too.
all 3 are fantastic, thank you Studio Series! Now, bring on the final Constructicons in proper images!
Posted by blackeyedprime on December 7th, 2019 @ 12:09pm CST
Shatters jet looks a little off (probably because of deluxe sizing?) but I'll likely get her to go with Dropkick.
Roadbuster looks really nice but will be a pass.

Let someone else have a jeep mode and make it cool. Not every jeep has to be the 2 G1 characters that had that mode.
and Bee works it far better than either, at least to me

I'm thinking CW Hound head (which CW Hound can then have a hardtop head) and get a Detritus out of the jeep bee unless hound/detritus gets an update in Earthrise.

Agreed on this. Personally hoped the jeep goes to entirely new character, but bee looks good enough wearing it, so i'll accept it.

I'd love a repaint/remold to have a Movie Strongarm in a jeep mode.

Both Bumblebee and Shatter come from the Bumblebee movie, released last year. Jeep Bumblebee is a take on the character as he appeared when he first came to Earth in that movie, transforming into a jeep in an attempt to escape the humans he accidentally crash landed into, and it's also the body that he fought Blitzwing in (who is still waiting on his Studio Series figure). Shatter meanwhile transforms into her second alt mode, a Harrier jet, and uses her robot mode body from the later part of the movie that incorporates both alt modes, whereas her first Studio Series figure was based on her initial Earth mode body. Roadbuster is based on the Wrecker character from 2011's Dark of the Moon, transforming into an armored version of Dale Earnhardt Junior's #88 Chevrolet.

Roadbuster and Shatter both look better than I expected though, I might grab them both. My car Shatter was alright, she isn't as bad QC-wise as other copies, but having the actual right head sculpt and less limited looking articulation are a good sell on this new one. I might have to go back and actually grab a car Dropkick now to go with her. I guess I'll use the alternate names from the concept art and credits for the Wreckers to give them unique names, so Roadbuster will be Amp, Topspin will be Tempest, and Leadfoot will be Target.
