Via Chefatron on Youtube we can share new in-hand images of the new Transformers Studio Series Core Class Exo Suit Spike Witwicky.
This is a completely new mold for the Studio Series Core class and brings a good representation of Spike in his “transformable” exo-suit. Robot mode is cartoon-accurate and shows a decent range of articulation. To our surprise you can even move the head that’s inside the helmet and he can configure his arms as laser guns and attach the blast effects included with the figure. Spike’s “vehicle mode” is easy to transform but not so simple as we may have expected and it rolls very well. We also have comparison images next to other Core class figures and WFC Deluxe toys.
Check out all the images on this news post, as well as Chefatron video review, after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I don't think so, up here in Canada I have pegs full of him, and everybody else in that case mates. The only one that seems to be less of is Iguanus(?), is that his name, that is really popular since I see a little less of.

Yay, I just found this guy today hidden on the top shelf of my Walmart! There were a ton of core class up there but only one exosuit! Is he short packed?

If vehicle mode is any indication, the humans arms stay in the exosuits torso since there's shots in the movie and toon where you seen Daniel holding control sticks in vehicle mode

So, I've always wondered… where do their arms go? In arms? Or are the arms controlled from the torso via an unseen joystick or control panel? Because it the human's arms are in the suit arms, they are freakishly long and severely broken or dislocated.

That also doesn't have a face, which is what @84OptimusPrime was specifically asking about

I found one ss86 Spike in Atlanta yesterday. There was only one and first time I saw one.

Any word or hint or even a rumor or of any company making updates to the Spike face and a Daniel face as well?

That's crazy. My May 3 order was delivered last month. Looks like someone grabbed the Amazon Warehouse figure already. There must be a second shipment the end of this summer.

cheapest listings don’t ship till August. Guessing they don’t have them yet.

Did you find them?

Amazon keeps on offering this guy for under $10. Although he's only available from Third Party sellers for $15 right now. https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Studio-Exo-Suit-Witwicky-Action/dp/B09H1CG92Q Got mine a couple weeks ago and he's not half bad. Only like 42% bad since they opted not to paint the face. Just kidding, I'll get over the face.
Except it looks like there is an Amazon Warehouse version for $8.88 right now.

Considering we were specifically referring to Bumblebee (the character), I'm not sure what Fangry has to do with that. Origins bee is nice though, granted his bot mode is a bit kibbly. I'd say he's the 3rd best Bumblebee from WFC.
BBJazz
What about Fangry and Origins Bee?

Is this going to hit stores or do I just bite the bullet and pay flipper rates?

My wife threw out our wedding rings the morning of our wedding. Dumpster diving in Florida's heat is unbearable

Wow he didn't even get the couch. He got the garage blanket fort he had to build.
Oh I miss the blanket fort days from 30 years ago.
