We can share for you our first in-package images of the recently revealed Transformers Studio Series Rise Of The Beasts SS-99 Voyager Battlettap.
The box follows the usual Studio Series packaging style now with open window and adding a “Plastic Free Packaging” logo in one corner. The back of the box shows alt mode, the GM logo and our first look at the included cardboard backdrop. As a curious detail, while Battletrap box has got the right Terrorcon insignia, the box art shows a small Decepticon symbol on Battletrap’s forehead.

Thanks I limit myself to touch ups.

Cool, I wouldn't know how to do this either since I don't own any of the molds. Good luck if you do attempt this sometime down the line.
Rob
Yeah looks nice and what inspired me to ask, but I don't have the skill for something like that.

I saw this custom on Reddit a while back with BBM Ironhide head

Always happy to help!
Rob
Got it, for now I'll stick with my SS86 Ironhide. Thank you for the reply though.

Either you'd have to shave the ball or you'd have to throw a bunch of glue dots at the ball until it fits. But not BBM Ironhide, the head is connected to the peg instead of having the socket for the ball. I know this off the top of my head for some reason.
Rob
Hey question gang, how hard would it be to headswap a Siege, Earthruse, or BBM Ironhide on this bad boy?
I was thinking about painting the orange color red, swap the head and call it ironhide.
War Horse
By Jove! He looks awfully fierce!

Actually I like how mechanical and simple the concept is, the final product adds a lot of greeble to his face. The concept kind of looks like Shredder meets the Fallen.

Eh, the 9nly thing interesting about Scourge's alt mode is the faction symbols on his grill. Other than that, he's just DotM Megatron without a trailer.
the head is EXACTLY the same unless there's a different piece of concept art I'm not familiar with, his "mouth" just opens horizontally and his eyes and mouth are fiery. It still comes across in the eyes on the packaging and the figure.
Dinobot Snarl
He's got a cool head, but that concept is amazing.
OverloadedTaco
It reminds me of how nitro and shockwaves mouths are different, he basically had nitro "lips" before getting shockwave ones
TF Hot Rod
It’s pretty much the same just some slight modifications like the mouth area.

If they made Battletrap head exactly like the concept then yes maybe, but I find Scourges vehicle mold very intense
ProfessionalIcee
I hope so, he already voiced Blitzwing in BB so anything they can do to help distinguish those voices would be a plus.
TF Hot Rod
Possible yeah.
Probably eyebrow like pieces or just some metal piece.

It's ridiculous that Battletrap is way cooler and more interesting than the supposed main villain of the film. Scourge is just a mess of metal and will likely be a boring stoic character who monologues with no personality. Even if Battletrap suffers the same fate, he at least oozes personality in his design. I'm going to wait to see how he's handled in the film but I'm definitely considering getting this guy.
