We have a very unexpected surprise from The Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico. The Hasbro panel presented the first wave of Studio Series Deluxe class toys for 2020: Camaro 2007 Bumblebee, ROTF Arcee, Chromia & Elita 1, DOTM Soundwave And WWII Hot Rod.
The information surfaced via a live Facebook video from Magios Initiative and some images from the Unboxing Toy Convention Facebook. We can expect the next Studio Series figures for 2020, all new molds:
- Camaro 2007 Bumblebee – New mold featuring the iconic Camaro Concept alt mode seen in The Transformers 2007 live action movie. The robot mode has got a battle helmet and his arm blaster.
- Revenge Of The Fallen 3-pack Arcee, Chromia & Elita 1 – You will get the three bike sisters from the film in one single pack at Deluxe price point. We should expect each figure to be small, but in the correct scale with other Studio Series vehicles.
- Dark Of The Moon Soundwave – New mold for the Decepticon warrior, this time including his partner Laserbeak.
The Last Knight World War II Hot Rod – New Hot Rod mold Retool of Studio Series WWII Bumblebee based on the WWII flashback of The Last Knight.
We have a very promising 2020 for the Studio Series line. You can check out some screencaps after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Wait, what is this? First movie Bumblebee? Didn't we get a SS of this already?

I have a feeling that Soundwaves deformed grill chest is mistransformed, hopefully Takara will provide better pics with the chest cavities fully closed in.

So, does anybody else notice how Bumblebee's mistransformed chest here kinda winds up looking like Long Haul's face?

Welp. that's what i get for not reading the older posts.
I hope they do combine, be kinda sucky if they don't though that seems to be the case from the looks of them.

Conveniently had these two on hand.
If it isn’t clear from the photos, Bee comes up to the top of Soundwave’s chest.
So the new sound wave will be slightly shorter than the old one.

Just to test something, how big is the dotm 2011 deluxe soundwave compared to ss ww2 bee? Seeing those together would help a lot

I can't imagine how many heads would explode if these was showed 10+ years ago.

Weirdly, the best value for what you pay is coming from Studio Series and three non-characters with iffy designs. Absolutely getting those bike sisters. They're some of the key examples of the Bayverse's oddness and in this case the only Hasbro product worth the price you pay for released since POTP.
Laserbeak's okay but at least it comes with an unpainted Soundwave to help even the price out.
Really wish this line would give us a good mold of the chubby Autobot already.

The giant code is in case they go "missing".

Consider that these figure are probably just for display purposes, I don't think the final toys would have those giant product codes.
Sometimes, the display figures will be slightly different than the final retail release of the figures.
T-Hybrid
Ooof I hope they find a better place than that for the product codes on the Arcee Sisters.

In the words of the Finding Nemo Seagulls, MINE!

I'm not sure if these were posted yet, but here's more shots from the display. I'm not sure if this is the original source.
Video as well.
