Also in this post is a look at the sleeve for the vinyl release of the Generation 1 soundtrack.

Just got Bee in today. Great little figure, idk why it’s getting so much criticism. If you figure out the transformation correctly, nothing pops off. Baltmatrix and that ultrazilla guy must have no clue what they’re doing because mine does not fall apart.
The car mode pegs together perfectly (minor gaps but who cares), the paint apps are precise, and the articulation is good enough. I will admit, the hips are slightly too loose for me but nothing Future can’t fix. And the nostalgia factor is high.
Overall, I give it an 8/10. It’s a good figure

The backdrops are all going in the recycling when I get them, so I can't say I'm too bothered.

I noticed Hasbro used what look like F-18s for the backdrop when in the movie there were F-22s and I'm kinda salty about that.

Awesome, his head can look up now!
So many added tabs to secure the parts into place; a really thoughtful OS by Hasbro lol.

Voyager Starscream review:
eVac Z
That Voyager Megatron design is an absolute killer with the accuracy, better than the Leader and ROTF Voyager combined.
Anyhow, if we want an MPM ROTF Megatron I don't think this needs much change. Scale him up, give him a silver paint job, maybe some additional filler pieces for the sides of the legs (to bulk it up, it looks a bit… out of place) and there you go.

All the links are in the thread below. The Japanese stores are almost all sold out now.

Does AE have pre orders on studio series? Couldn’t find any. Or any place that have Takara preorders or yeah.

I’m gonna have to get all of these online. In Sweden deluxe so are 55 bucks. Voyager 75 and leader 95. The worst part is that I’m not joking.

But I'm a little bit disappointed that most(all?) of the studio series figures don't have the articulated hand. I'm not a big fan of hole-hand and it's ugly. Hope some 3p will make an articulated hand for them

It's transforming mechanism is similar to Scorn. It's left hand will hide in the t-rex tail and right hand will become the t-rex jaw.

Ever since I saw Grimlock, I notice something: where is his bottom jaw in robot mode!? I've seen pics where it's hanging on the side of the arm, and others where it's gone! I honestly thought they just removed the jaw just to make him look good, but I knew that couldn't be the case, so I kept digging til I realised it was right under my nose the whole time! The jaw isn't just folded onto his arm, it IS his arm!
A miracle in dino-robo engineering!

Alright, if we get a Voyager Breakaway, this will be my favorite line ever.
LTprime98
This is a dream come true
Gepard
Going by NOTRAB's photos Jazz is keeping his all-over silver paintjob for the production model, so we'll probably (hopefully) get silver paint all over Megatron. Looks like Hasbro actually allowed a halfway decent budget for this line.

Personally I’d like confirmation that HasTak is doing an MPM figure for every first movie character. Then it’s just a waiting game and not a what-if game

Oh I totally agree, I don't think it's a very good idea either. Was just pointing out that I don't think it was an oversight.

I would like to see the 3 arcees. (concept 2007, ROTF and TF Online)
Prime135
Just been listening to the most recent twincast podcast, specifically the interview at the end with the brand team…guys…I think they actually plan on doing everyone for the studio series…and I do mean everyone…
At one point, John warden mentions there being 120-130 movie characters that they’re pulling from…when I add them all up, including old characters with new designs, and the four from the bee movie, I only get 104, so they must literally be pulling from every CG asset paramount has!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong, it's Takara's prototype that was put on display only to be burned at the stake after Toy Fair, with the Hasbro staff dancing around the fire, chanting "Brand Unification, Brand Unification, Brand Unification!"
The unpainted one looks terrible. Like a straight-up knockoff. The bad kind, not the recent examples that are sometimes better than the real deal
I'm afraid I already know which deco will be the final one…
