More Studio Series Updates – 86 Grimlock Art, ROTF Sideswipe, Grindor, 86 Gnaw

under Generation 1, Generations / Classics, Transformers Movie Toys & Products

More updates from the Studio Series line as we now have listings for a Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe, a Leader Grindor with Ravage, and a Studio Series 86 Gnaw! In addition to all of these, the 86 Grimlock listing has also been updated with artwork featuring G1 Wheelie riding on the back of a G1 Grimlock. While these listings do answer some questions, they open many others regarding the potential addition of the 1986 film to the Studio Series line and how Hasbro plans to go about things. On the Michael Bay side of things however, we also have room to speculate how the new Sideswipe and Grindor will look compared to their respective DOTM and Blackout counterparts.

While we don’t have images of the other three, we have mirrored the Grimlock and Wheelie artwork to check out after the jump, and be sure to join the ongoing discussion over on the boards!

UPDATE: The artwork provided for Grimlock is NOT official despite being on the Walmart.com listing. It is in fact pulled from a t-shirt design by artist Ninjaink

Hope we get to see Gnaw on Saturday or someone leaks him.

Just any Studio Series will do.

I think this is the wrong place to report that.

RIPT say it's an exclusive so at the time I took it to mean they had paid the artist for the design…now I really hope they did pay the artist !

I'm putting my thoughts here right now: This shouldn't have happened and I am very upset this happened, but I'm not going to waste my time talking to people trying to justify this.

I hate the idea of G1 on SS

Thank you guys for the feedback. I think he looks really good. I think I'm gonna wait and see, but the rumored Ravage probably won't be as good as this one. Hopefully one shows up for sale for a reasonable price.

It may be part of their magnifying glass collection to go along with Wheelie and Brains. Though packed away, Legends class Wheelie is still going to ultimately be my Wheelie if I ever have a full display set up. Tossed the two that came with Shockwave in a ziplock with the paratrooper in hopes that I don't lose them. Now as long as I don't use that bag to hold my coke and snort them up I will be in good shape….First I will have to learn where to get coke, then I will actively have to start doing coke, but if that happens, there is a good chance I snort them.

My take- Grindor is going to be a more bluish shade of grey than Blackout. Across the various releases, both characters have had a bluish grey and standard grey figure in a few size classes, so my belief is that Grindor’s colour will be something akin to this-

If that ends up being the case, I'm definitely skipping him. To my eye, thats barely a difference, like TLK Nitro Zeus and SS KSI Boss.

I'm really curious for the ROTF that supposedly comes with Grindor (who in my headcanon is just an alternate name for Blackout and thus have no desire for).

I've been thinking of just getting the Legends Class HFTD Ravage and calling it a day. To anyone who has/has had it, is that figure worth it? Does it look good with current Studio Series?

Legends Class HFTD Ravage is cool but if you want more bang for your buck, buy two of them if you can. Replace the front legs of the main one with the back legs of the other and shave off the protruding bits if you want. Doing this will give him front foot articulation. The transfomation will have to change but you can still achieve a similar look with some fan mode mentality. I provided a pic of my Ravage from way back.

I'd say so.

I'm curious as to what SS Ravage will be like. I'd assume he'd be on the same level as Scorponok, who's rather basic compared to the old HftD Ravage that has quite a bit of articulation and can transform. Which just feels like all the more reason to stick with the Legends toy.

I hope this means The Fallen himself isn't far behind. Since Grindor, Jolt, ROTF Bee and Swipe have been announced, that just leaves the Fallen, the Twins, and Sideways (and a Demolishor repaint of Scavenger) for ROTF, right?*

*Not counting tiny guys like Scalpel and Alice!
