More stability for leg mode?

I don't buy that too much. They could have had a locking elbow or something.

Budgetary limits for the whole combiner, then?

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Alright, sorry to double post like this, but could not cope with only showing off 2 movie Autobot shelves.

Also taking these pictures shows off what we really need from Studio Series to fill out the ranks from the movies.

Notably missing for me Autobot wise is a Deluxe Leadfoot and Dino, as well as some good Arcee triplets, a Voyager Slug, mini figures of Brains and Wheelie coming with another figure, and kinda a want but not need would be WWII Hot Rod. Decepticon wise, the new updated Devastator coming will be a hugely welcomed addition, as will the Bonecrusher and Shatter figures; missing still but welcome would be a TLK Leader Infernocus, good voyager Sentinel Prime (I just traded mine, wasn't good and I do despise that character for his role in the movie, but still), and some toys of the Con crew from TLK like Onslaught (from Long Haul) and Mohawk.

Just want to ask a few questions if you don't mind:
1) What's the model of the Sideswipe in front of Night Leader Optimus Prime?
2) Is that Voyager Class TLK Megatron in the 3rd picture?(in the middle)
3) Is it Studio Series Blackout at the back in the 3rd picture?
4) What's the model of ROTF Starscream next to The Fallen (also 3rd picture)?
5) Is that the Voyager Starscream from the first movie behind Galvatron (also in 3rd picture)?

I plan to buy some of the figures mentioned and I'm using your pictures as reference for height comparison because I want my figures to scale well among each other, so I'm asking these questions to clarify the models of these figures. Btw that is one awesome collection , keep it up! (I spotted figures from Transformers Animated in the 3rd picture )

I see you're also a big Cussler fan.

Considering their size and if they would go with the concept stage ability to combine, I feel maybe a Voyager pricepoint with the 3 sisters would probably suffice. the ability to combine would be awesome but is not essential to me.

And hell yeah Cussler!

It's because the post before yours, by JazztfLaw, was approved by a Mod. Any time a new user's post is approved, the system sends a notification for the thread even if posts have been made since.

Uh. no? They have a near exact transformation because they're the same character?

Oh yeah totally. Which is why legion class Leadfoot and Human Alliance Leadfoot have pretty much the exact same transformation, right?

Sounds bit like how they made SS Starscream by taking the deluxe DotM toy which was far more elegant than previous voyager attempts, making it bigger and adding more detail and stuff. But ok a legion figure tends to be more simple than a deluxe. But if it works well then why not i suppose.

He looks nice, and the fact he combines whilst doing a surprisingly good approximation of the movie model is impressive, but I wish he wasn't so...simplified. I have no idea how they would have made him more accurate/less kibbly whilst still combining though, and if I'm in a position to get him and his chums I will. I'll be keeping my ROTF Rampage though just because he's a pretty fun little toy in his own right.

I think it would have been cool to have his jack hammer part be on ball joints to mimic the organic movements he made in the movie, but that might affect his solidity for the leg mode; I imagine that, beyond being big, devs is gonna be really heavy...

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't mind a non-combining Rampage from somebody with better cleanup and full articulation. He was a damn cool design, I'd love to see him appear in something new.

Yeah his not having elbows kinda sucks again, but unlike cw devs, this one probably actually needs the structural integrity, this devs is gonna be massive and really top heavy

Cogman is soon to be in Studio Series as a redeco of his TLK toy but the Titan Master looks kinda small next to Bumblebee. Camaro Bee is 16 foot tall according to 2007 scale charts. April O'Neil here looks closer to correct height but I can't see how she'd fit in his car mode at all.

Does anyone have the Bee figure with the add-on parts and Charlie mini-figure? How tall is tthe Charlie?

Cogman would be a huge buy if they fixed his damn knees

What's wrong with his knees? :O

Hellscream9999 wrote:They have weird locking detents that allow him to move his knee at 45 degrees at a time and if I recall his knees are sorta loose when not locked, I got the original and it sucks for it, can't pose him at all; a point that got super glossed over since he was so difficult to find

Wolfman Jake wrote:The problem is that the each figure's robot mode and vehicle mode are not really in scale with one another. April O'Neil may be the right height for Bumblebee in robot mode, but the smaller Cogman Titan Master is about right for Bumblebee's Camaro mode. The aim of the Studio Series line is to get all the individual robot modes in scale with one another (more or less) and the scale of the vehicles is more a consequence of how to fit each individual robot inside a car, truck, plane, or whatever.

Although, he was in TLK, in the junkyard right before Megatron attacks. Think he was behind Hound or something, but he was definitely in there. Anyway, really like how these Constructicons are shaping up, can't wait for more reveals!
