Little worried this will bleed into Generations in a couple years as a cost cutting measure.
Studio Series discussion
- Thread starter Paladin
- Start date
I caught that, too. It does make sense. This movie could bring in a lot of new young fans that have never been in the market for Transformers figures before. Keeping the price of admission a bit lower (especially since costs have been moving steadily up) for new customers may help create a whole new generation of continued toy-buyers.
But agreed, I hope that doesn't bleed into the main line where I've already got a large amount of more-or-less in scale figures.

No, mine hasn't come in either.
I did a ways back.
Well, the future leaders are. In the trailer, the size difference between them and Bee is less than we usually see, and they're smaller than the one I'm pretty sure is supposed to be Darkwing.Think of it as everyone in TF: One being younger, so they're all smaller.
Sure, it would make sense for him to be bigger and more intimidating than them. After all, he is the terror that flaps in the night.
And instant like for my favorite hero.
So there's a 'leak' for Revenge of the Fallen anniversary.
If I were to guess, it'd be Optimus Prime, Jetfire, ROTF Bumblebee and maybe the Arcee triplets or Jolt for the Autobots.
ROTF Megatron (silver finish), The Fallen, tattoo Starscream and Sideways or ROTF soundwave for the Decepticons.
Be cool if it was a retool for Optimus to include and contain the matrix.

Some interesting possibilities.
- a pair of Voyager/Leader 2-packs: an Optimus Prime/Jetfire 2-pack (with Jolt in the backdrop having as much dimension as he had in the movie), and a Megatron/Burning Fallen 2-pack.
- a pair of Deluxe 2-packs: an Arcee Triplets/Sideways 2-pack, and all-new molds for a Skids/Mudflap 2-pack, their first time in Studio Series.
- or a multi-pack like the first Movie got, based on the Forest Battle. Optimus (with Energon hooks), Megatron, Starscream, Grindor.
Clearly we're finally getting SS Skids and Mudflap.
I seriously would not be surprised if that is the case. However, as with the last box sets, they were all previously released molds. That leads me to believe it will be Jolt and Sideswipe.
Realistically I expect Jolt to be in the set, as that was his only purpose in the movie was to combine Optimus and Jetfire. But with how they've been doing 4pks as ways to release toys they can't/wont release at retail, I at least need to joke about ROTF's most infamous due finally getting new toys.
Honestly, I'd be shocked if RotF Skids and Mudflap ever got toys as part of the Studio Series line. And I have rather mixed feelings about that.
Seriously, the two were hardly popular characters, but God knows that we could get better toys for them.

I hated the characters and hated their heads, but from the neck down, the character models weren't bad. I'd actually love to see a new take (like a Legacy style G1-ification) on their combined ice cream truck mode.
But enough about the humans in Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution.
