I hope that list is wrong - a Commander Stratosphere would be very hard to resist. That would be one big plane. For a line dedicated to on screen characters only, why they would put a toy-only character as their first Commander? I mean, why not Infernocus or Strafe, or one of the dragons? Or if they felt they had to do a toy only, why not the brachiosaur? Why not save Stratosphere for titan (because there are too few TFs that fit titans to keep that class going, and this is one of them)? They could actually cram a voyager class truck inside of a titan class stratosphere, which is like the only thing the plane this character is based on actually did in the movie. |

Wheelie would make a great commander size toy - or even Titan - so he could be life sized. Would need to be RC though. Why not save Stratosphere for titan (because there are too few TFs that fit titans to keep that class going, and this is one of them)? They could actually cram a voyager class truck inside of a titan class stratosphere, which is like the only thing the plane this character is based on actually did in the movie. More likely if they were to do this then maybe they'd have a Core class Optimus Prime that would fit in the plane instead. Which wouldn't be in keeping with the intented scale-accuracy of the Studio Series line, but then we have had a Core class Shockwave, so at this point I don't think there's anything to stop them. Some of these have been rumoured before though, and most of them seem fairly obvious as characters that would eventually be reached anyway. Breakaway also seems a bit odd for a not-actually-appearing-in-this-film character, but then bear in mind that Studio Series Thundercracker, based on Nitro Zeus, exists and then it - and Stratosphere - aren't quite so odd. My only question really would be which AoE Prime is this? I really hope that it's the concept cab, because I really like that design, just because it's different. If they give us a Studio Series version of the "Evasion" Prime then that'd be nice, but also slightly redundant - it's not like we're short on G1-style Primes these days... |

I didn't notice Breakaway, I got too focused on Stratosphere. That one is really weird. An offscreen character who is a repaint of an offscreen character/mold. Doesn't even fit with the Thundercracker or grey jeep bumblebee. My friend showed me this list a few days ago and said it came from the same source as the reliable rumors. But I think I'm agreeing with Phil in that this is just someone's wishlist. |

The human characters would be great. Even if they're not articulated.
Best they have eyes though.

How well do the humans that came with the MP figures scale? I only have Raoul and Chip, but they can't be too far off, can they?

I just want Lord Chumney and Dimsore figures complete with a lair featuring all the stupid traps from Prime Target.
That turns into a robot elephant or something.

I was going to say that I was expecting Arcee to be tiny - but she's apparently taller than Brawn, which is a surprise. Still looking forward to her appearing on shelves.

That Galvatron and Thundercracker don't look too bad. I mean, Galvatron doesn't look *great*, but that's a result of the actual character design - it just never did anything for me.
Thundercracker I would be very tempted by, since I've got the Starscream version of the mold and I love it. However, I've always got Studio Series Thundercracker in the guise of his "Sir Not Appearing in this Film" version, based off of Nitro Zeus. And it amuses me to have the see- attack planes in my collection with non-identical bodies. I just need them to do a Studio Series Skywarp based off of the origianl movie Doritoscream and I'll be sorted.

Ok, the Studios Series Bumblebee movie turn out to be nice in-hand
Anyone got yellowing on Ratchet? Just the upper left thigh piece on mine. No other piece. I would have thought maybe a different coloured piece of plastic but the other thigh is much whiter. Only noticed it today.
It sorts of adds to the 'dirty battle' feel, even if unintentional!

The yellowing on the Ratchet has been widely reported, something about the plastic make up :-( tmukhub.proboards.com/post/471824/threadI was just reading notes from the Hasbro roundtable event that happened the other day and picked up on a few things I'd not seen on here. There's a summary here: news.tfw2005.com/2022/04/20/transformers-brand-team-fan-roundtable-legacy-reveal-edition-454263But some of the salient points related to discussions we've been having are: - Yellowing on recent figures – Aware, researching issue. Has been seen by Mark and team, forwarded to engineering for research. Feedback, specifics always welcome, helps narrow down the problem. Pandemic restricted traveling to Asia for quality checks.
Have you got Brawn? He's superb! |

Brawn is in the post from the Pulse sale.
Ah, so the yellow is common. With the design of the figure, it kind of gets away with it though. Hard to explain.

BB Soundwave is really nice. Maybe ID will send the Ravage I bought a week ago. I must put him in Soundwave's chest and press the button!
Brawn is good. Wheeljack is not really doing it for me.

Yeah, I found Wheeljack solid, but not particularly exciting, which is a shame. I know that other people love him, though, so he's obviously doing something for some folks...

Wheeljack's wings being on the back of his shoulders so they move when his arms move is not great. Mostly snookered by the upper legs being in ball joints so he is very floppy and cheap feeling. He has problems standing as his legs fall away from under him.

I got my two minutes of fun with SSB Core Ravage by turning him into a cube and shoving him in Soundwave's chest, where he will stay forever.
I then instantly lost all his tiny accessories.
In other news, SSB Core Shockwave is a bit...crap.
