The official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter have just shared production sample images of the new Studio Series 86 Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Grimlock, Jazz & Scourge.
These new toys were just officially revealed today for the US market, and now Takara Tomy have just confirmed that they pre-orders for the Japanese market will be available next month. We have great images of the figures together that let us see how the scale works between them. We are sure many fans will be pleased with the result.
Check the images after the jump, and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I’m not a fan of the Bay movies myself, but I love that they exist due to all the money they make for the Transformers brand… The rest of the lines wouldn’t be what they were if it weren’t for the Bayverse, and when they do well Transformers as a whole prospers.
Besides, I’m just glad people are enjoying an Optimus & Megatron, we all like different things and one part of the fandom doesn’t have to starve so others can get fed. There’s plenty room at the table for everyone.

I doubt it was an attempt at humor. The Bay films continue to live rent free in the heads of the folks on this website so comments like his aren’t too surprising.

I mean I don't like Bay stuff myself, but to say that G1 is the only reason that SS is going to do well instead of, you know, the fans who started to buy it in the first place, is just stupid.
That or it was a poor attempt at humor no one got.

This guy gets it.

I keep forgetting how many nostalgia filled losers occupy this website. Also, I like how “Cancel Bay related stuff” is okay, but when someone says they wish Hasbro would take a break from G1, everybody here loses their shit.
No no. You don’t get it. Bay bad, Geewun good or some bullshit like that.
Nova Maximus
I feel like you may be a bit delusional there. SS was doing fine before SS 86 and they still have more movie bots planned over G1 bots.

It really is a fantastic line. Best thing Hasbro has mass produced in years and the only reason the SS series will remain relevant and in demand.

Grimlock arrived via Hasbro Pulse to my surprise today. He really is good. SS86 line is my all time favorite line. Hope it continues.

I shall dub thee Poopie now. Arise Poopie and don't forget to wipe.

Daniels exosuit is probably just a reuse of spikes exosuit from the buzzworthy bumblebee figure

I finally received Grimlock and Kup yesterday so now I have all the SS86 bots and Cyclonus. Great line and I will buy more but Kup has a lot of parts that keep popping off. They go back on, but are falling off way too easily. And I'm not talking about the parts that are supposed to come off like his limbs.
Blurr is also a pain to transform because of the way the tabs work. And Wheelie really needs some knees.
But other than that, great job TT/Hasbro! Keep them coming!
I'm assuming that Daniel's exo suit will not transform like Wheelie. I can see that causing a lot of complaints. Wheelie and Daniel probably should have been separate core class releases that transform. I most likely would have bought them.

Bought them all, amazing little toys.
Release more please. Cancel everything bay related and release more G1!!!

Thank you, I’ve been requesting someone to post this exact pairing.

They're both the same price in Japan too FWIW
