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!

Well it was likely going to be Toy Fair, but after it got canned it might be an online reveal in its place instead.

Right, as I mentioned regarding his wave being maybe a bit far off. What I’m wondering about are photo previews.

Thanks for the feedback. Went and moved Starscream to a leader class.

I'm kinda hoping he does have that grumpy-arse face at least!
Fenrys
Nah, not off base, just wrong line
it's very possible that the Kingdom Commander Rodimus Prime will look like that design 
MyTea Boc
So, way-way off base then

Fully agree. This is the same reason I stopped watch Fx Franz because he started going the same way. I know not all figures are amazing, some aren't great, but at times expectations are a little bit crazy.
i AGREE
Fenrys
Well, then I'd say anyone hoping for new molds of Arcee, Springer, Optimus and the like will probably be left wanting for a while
There is no rumored SS86 Rodimus Prime, though there is a Rumored Kingdom Rodimus Prime

I'm very happy for you. Your reviews always put a smile on my face.

The rumor is that Rodimus Prime is a Kingdom Commander. I think there's a speculation thread for that line somewhere.
Good catch!

i have never ever noticed the bigger wings lol. It be cool if they included a static blackened starscream figure for when he'd been blasted

Probably off-base here (as per usual), but…..
Don't know if any of you ever bother with the LG manga comics that Takara pump out. But, in the latest one Primus looks a bit like this….
Where previously, he always looked a bit more like this, hewing closer to his G1 2004 blocky-assed Rodimus repaint.
Can't help but notice the one from the latest comic is a little less g1 block and a bit more stylized.
Now it could just be the artist has went a different direction, but the conspiracist in me wonders if this isn't something of a sneak preview of the rumoured SS86 Rodimus Prime? And a hint at what Takara might do with the mold in terms of a future Select Series repaint?

.
And including the fragments of a destroyed starscream would be a nice touch.
Autobot Burnout
That would be freaking hilarious, and we did get Pimp Daddy Destro with a wad of burning money so hey, anything can happen!

Yeah he's a retool, he has his standard fare gear with the cape, shoulder things, and crown. He also has bigger wings and I think someone said something about rounder forearms to better represent the scene, I have to check again.View attachment 28830045

Cool, your sources have any comment on if it's an Earthrise Starscream partial or not? I believe Apollux seemed to indicate that his information said it was, and it would go a long way towards putting to rest if Hasbro sees the WFC molds as good enough for SS86 or not
CactusReporter
I mean I have some sources that can back me up and unless things changed he's a 2022 leader.
Fenrys
Has that been confirmed?
Foster
A nice pack in to the coronation set would be a few of those trumpets!
