Few things that are really interesting to me...
Tra Gen Studio Series Deluxe Next Gen Bumblebee
I'm sorry, what?
Tra Gen Studio Series Deluxe HM Megatron
Again, what?
Tra Gen A Level AST MV8 OP
Product Number: G0221
Tra Gen A Level AST 86 Bumblebee
Product Number: G0220
What is AST? Shorthand for Assortment?
What is "A Level?"
MV8, I'm assuming is the upcoming animated movie originally slated for next year that I doubt will happen due to the strikes.
Is that what "Next Gen Bumblebee" means, as well?
What is "HM" Megatron?

It’s what prepares us for Transformers Uni. Surely a Transformers GCSE must be in the works, too |

Movie 6 Megatron? But that's the Bumblebee movie. Are they going to do a release based on the concept art that we saw a while back? An odd decision, but it'll be interesting to see what it turns out to be. In a year's time. Damn these names being released this early - we'll not even get prototype leaks for six months... |

Since it's in Studio Series it'll have to be something related to a piece of media - unless it's been miscategorised. But what then? Head Masters? Megatron wasn't in that. Hasbro Movie, maybe - maybe another designation for Transformers One? Helicopter Mode - i.e. the Animated version? But then you'd expect it to be a Leader class toy. HelMet. A properly-coloured, black-helmet Megatron from the original adverts. That's my vote for this. |

Given that Studio Series now means 'anything made by a licensee' or 'seen on a screen' (as per Evan's SDCC comments), it could be anything!
This also means that adverts are within the purview of Studio Series...

Reissues would fall under the Vintage line of reissues, not Studio Series.
Vintage Sausages.

Since it's in Studio Series it'll have to be something related to a piece of media - unless it's been miscategorised. But what then? I suspect at least one of them must be miscategorised. Not been a deluxe Op or Megatron in either Generations or Studio Series (any variation) for a long while, which will break the holy scale charts. For one of each to show up with adjacent product numbers out of sequence for the either range is a little suspicious. IF I was forced to hedge my bets I'd point out that the w4 Legacy Uni deluxe has only 3 toys listed for it - one of which is the dlx Optimus - while the others have 4. There *could* be a repack from earlier in the line, ala the Core, but that doesn't tend to happen much for deluxe - last time was Kingdom when things got messy towards the end |

If these are related to the upcoming Transformers One then I'd not be surprised if there were Deluxe versions of each character released - that fits the usual pattern of what they do with movie figures. And I don't see them rereleasing the Core figure with accessories, having already done so at a different price point. So I think it's probably somehow just wrong... |

Movie 6 Sunstreaker? Did I miss him there? Yes, we asked the same question. I'm pretty sure he wasn't, but that's not stopped them in the past - there was a Studio Series Thundercracker based off of Nitro Zeus, so anything's possible, really. My money would be on a re-use of Bumblebee movie Wheeljack. |

These are named characters who are actually in the movies, most have speaking lines, and quite a few are fairly significant to their plots, who still don't have Studio Series figures.
Yet a Megatron that never appeared anywhere in any media, is getting a toy in the line about movie accuracy before any of these guys.

I was going to say that Nitro Zeus had been done, but no, that was actually a main-line TLK toy, with his mold being repurposed for Studio Series Thundercracker (who wasn't in any of the films) and KSI Boss. So yeah, he's still missing...
