Direct from Toy Fair 2019, we have images of the new Transformers Studio Series figures. On display:

- Jetfire (Revenge of the Fallen)
- Megatron (Dark of the Moon)
Voyager Class:
- Bonecrusher (Transformers)
- KSI Boss (Age of Extinction) – Confirmed as just a repaint of The Last Knight Nitro Zeus
- Optimus Prime (Bumblebee)
- Optimus Prime (Transformers)
Deluxe Class:
- Barricade (Transformers)
- Clunker Bumblebee (Transformers)
- Cogman (The Last Knight)
- Constructicon Hightower (Revenge of the Fallen)
- Constructicon Scrapmetal (Revenge of the Fallen)

It's not actually; the head on both Nitro and KSI Boss are based on concept art for Nitro Zeus. On screen, KSI Boss doesn't have the central eye, but four smaller eyes and instead of the four vertical antennae he has two horizontal protrusions. The body, though, is more accurate to KSI Boss than how Nitro Zeus ended up on screen (just compare them on Red Goblin's scale charts). The funniest thing is Nitro's packing art has the KSI Boss head, and from a leaked image, KSI Boss's packaging art has Nitro Zeus's head. I guess they decided they fucked up on both counts for Nitro so they may as well do the same with KSI Boss…

Anyway, anyone else noticed that the wave 7 figures have all gone up for presale nearly everywhere but the wave 6 deluxes just seem to have been skipped over?

Wish the KSI Boss had a new head. That's a bit of a bummer. Still the mold's awesome and I lack normal Nitro anyway so I'll pick him up. Psyched for the rest. I'm not picking up the whole line but so far I love it.

And they shouldn't have to. Especially on something that's supposed to be a premium release. But oh well.

can Siege Optimus\'s truck mode tow SS-44 Leader\'s Optimus\'s Trailer?

This reminded me of my Hot Wheels that I trashed 5 years ago with poorly painted acrylics

To be fair, The KSI Boss head is accurate. It was TLK Nitro Zeus that came with an inaccurate head.
Shepard Prime
Looks killer! Optimus, Jetfire AND the flight deck/armory trailer? Bought. Why'd it have to be Aug 1st tho'? Omega Supreme and Jetfire are set to release that month, if not that specific day iirc and now this too? lol *cries*
Requiem Prime
So KSI Boss is just Nitro Zeus with a premium deco. I\'m okay with that especially since mine was sacrificed for TR Thunderwing

Agreed
octobotimus
Same reason SS "crankcase" doesn't have a different head, most likely they just sacrificed him so they could focus design budget on other figures.
IgnikaMarcus
So why does the KSI Boss not have the correct head?
octobotimus
Then just keep on trying, you'll get it down!

I messed up a few. I tried some of the tips like watering down the paint and doing multiple coats, but it still looked sloppy on my part.
octobotimus
It honestly doesn't take much skill to do it… I mean I used to complain about it, until I actually tried to do it, and learned that its not all that hard…

Yeah he's definitely wave 7; on the slides when he was revealed it said he's wave 3 (due to Studio Series being an ongoing thing they've gone back to numbering waves just within each year, so wave five is 2019 wave 1 etc. which also makes the leader class waves less confusing as Megatron and Jetfire are the second wave of leaders but clearly also in the fifth wave over all given the other figures they've come out with, plus the numbering). It's kind of nice that we know so much of what's coming out, but now it"s going to a be a long wait till the second half of the year to see what's in wave 4/wave 8 and any other exclusives.
CobraKai
It’s not like all people have the skills to do a paint job that doesn’t look completely shitty.
Nemisispath
I plan on getting Jetfire regardless, as he can combine with either.
octobotimus
I know, it's not like people can add paint… Come on hasbro!
CobraKai
Man do I ever wish that Prime’s abdomen was already painted silver.
