Just as the U.S. Hasbro Toy Shop catalog adds the figure and only a few days after its sighting at U.S. retail, Hasbro’s official Transformers social media channels bring us Studio Series Voyager Class Brawl in the latest installment of their Leaked From Cybertron video series!
Transformers Brand Associate Project Engineer Mike is back, displaying the figure and explaining its design process. Today’s video follows previous detailed views of Studio Series Blackout and Grimlock & Power of the Primes Dinobots Slash, Sludge, Slug (G1 Slag), Snarl, Swoop, Grimlock and Studio Series Jazz.
Check out the clip and screen caps below and then join to the discussion on the 2005 boards!

Looks like a customized DOTM Voyager.

What Optimus is this?

My only peeve is that mold (SS Scavenger) is too small to scale with basically anything but Legends Class figures. I have a Scavenger OSKO that scales pretty well, but if Demolishor finally gets a toy I'll need to wait a few more years for some good 3P company to OSKO him too!!!

Hey @neevnav I'm trying to transform this guy with the kit but these stupid nubs are stopping it. Do I have to force it through? I'm thinking of just shaving those downView attachment 30326326

Concept Megatron might end up being my figure of the year. I can't stop posing him. Love that he's an action figure above all else. Wish SS38 Optimus had articulated hands too!

Awesome! Mine arrived today and I can't wait to install it later tonight, thanks for the instructions

They still do exclusives for Target so a Target Exclusive Leader Demolisher would be great.

That hasn’t stopped them from making more 86 Junkions, but I see what you’re getting at xD
That’d be perfect! Buzzworthy would have been good for that when it was around

So I picked up the door wing 3D printed kit for RotB Wheeljack of eBay, and it arrived this week. It definitely fixes the two biggest gripes most people have with the figure, which is clearance for the transformation, and the doors themselves being in the wrong position in robot mode.
These kits come with zero instruction, so you're basically working off of the pictures in the eBay listing. To attach the new brackets to the wings, you have to remove the wings from the existing friction mount, AND remove the mount itself from the figure. This was mistake one I made, and the doors won't close in vehicle mode if you don't, and the new brackets won't sit very far into the robot.
Once you have the doors off and the brackets removed, you use the new metal pins that came with the brackets to attach the doors to the brackets. Mine were fairly snug, I used a pair of needlenose pliers to twist the pins while putting pressure on them to slide up. It's a little nerve wracking since the door hinges themselves are clear plastic.
Once the doors are attached to the bracket, there's a double slot on WJs shoulder that the end of the bracket drops into. There's no way to fully secure it, but so far it's been snug for me.
And that's it! With one extra small piece, WJ goes from an alright figure to a good one.

Maybe just do him as an exclusive release through fan channels.

I think they’re scared he’ll shelfwarm hard like Scavenger did. Scavenger also had the benefit of being a combiner member so he was also a necessity to complete Devastator. Demolisher doesn’t have that going for him so I’d imagine he’d shelfwarm too maybe even worse than Scavenger

Came across this trading card with a render I haven’t seen before of Demolishor!

Which reminds me I got an extra Scavenger forever ago to turn into Demolishor, I need to get on that! Surprised Hasbro hasn’t done that themselves yet.

I'm glad it wasn't in the final cut. Those jokes were just cringe
Johnson the third
we were robbed of this in the final cut
