Just in is what appears to be our first look at the upcoming Studio Series Leader Bumblebee Movie Megatron.
Only a portion of the robot mode is shown here, and it seems to be a prototype sample, but it still gives us an impression of what the overall figure will be like.
Take it with a grain of salt for now and stay tuned for updates and official reveals as they come in. See the images after the break, including the previous packaging art design as a comparison.

Just found out about the Voyager BBM Shockwave and Skywarp. Glad to hear it.
More importantly though is the news of a WFC Ratchet, and the inevitable Ironhide. I hope they are as tall as the ahorter WFC Optimus.

Down the line hopefully, right now no probably.

Yo, are they actually slowly transitioning back into windowed packaging or what? Because obviously they got rid of the "plastic free packaging" logo on the boxes and started using plastic tie downs, but are the reactivate toys just the first batch to get it, or was it that they just had it for so long the packaging was already designed with plastic windows in mind, and all they did was change the print? I just kind of find that weird especially since the new leader classes are going to be open box, which seems like a big misstep with how often they tend to shelfwarm

Cumbersome is a great way to put it. Having him be the lone character that is so much bigger than every other ROTB character would be more trouble than its worth. Honestly I think the same effect can be achieved by just making a core class ROTB Prime and having a Commander Stratosphere be able to fit him. As a Commander, since he's a relatively lanky design, he will still be leagues taller than the next tallest characters (Scourge / Prime) and look fine with them.
The scale doesn't need to be perfect. Grimlock is technically significantly underscaled and yet still looks fine with everyone else, being the tallest standalone figure in the line thus far.

Every time someone asks about Hound, his release gets delayed by another month.
TF Hot Rod
Yeah I’m just expecting him laying down H-Tank.View attachment 30172838

If it's alt mode is anything like the core class, transformation complexity will be what gets sacrificed since that one turned into an H tank that is basically the figure laying down.
Nolifetrophy
Hmmm. I wonder how they're gonna do the BBM shockwave. Do y'all think the eye is gonna be painted or transparent plastic? The chest is also a different transparent color too, and then there is the hose for his gun. The siege one did all of this but it had the budget and mold count of a leader class toy, while this one is a voyager, so I wonder what is gonna get sacrificed for the sake of budget

The idea of them being early 2024 figures makes sense. Those renders seemed like someone accidentally leaked them early. Definitely getting excited for them.
TF Hot Rod
Probably early 2024
Tbf this was all pre-Commander Class being a thing
DaveTheCave
He'll probably be a leader, look at AOE Grimlock, his SS figure is way too small and should have been a commander class
Fenrys
Or the renders leaked super early and they were always meant to be 2024 figures. We know Hound is likely on the way because Detritus exists, and store exclusive repaints (like Hound) rarely get released prior to their mainline mold mate (in this case Detritus).

Canned or indefinitely delayed.
Important to remember there has never been an official reveal. There’s a good chance they were CG concepts that never went or have yet to go anywhere.
Peaceful Soldier
where is hatchet and hound?
TF Hot Rod
Probably, whenever Hound and Hatchet happen…if I where to guess.

Are we still getting "Bumblebee 2"?
PrimeBot
Stratosphere along with Apelinq should happen since they are part of the movie. If they made non talking Scorponok ss toy then why not for 2 characters that atleast had some kind of role and lines.
Transit should happen since Hasbro opened the gates to concept art ss and Transit was cut very late in post production.
PrimeBot
He is pretty big, but I see him being a commander class more than a titan class.
1SecondNinja
I keep forgetting about Core Class. That really is an easy solution for all of this, just make the main bots in Core Class
TF Hot Rod
For me it a combo of what @1SecondNinja and @Zoo said, they’re new designs not seen anywhere, and they look cool.
Along with a lot of the mains are not 100% accurate or could have been better (Arcee) so that’s a factor for it and why I’m waiting it out SS wise till the dust is settled.
Agreed because alt mode scale wise if it’s some’s thing, he’d need to be two times as big as a Titan to fit a Voyager Optimus and a Deluxe BumblebeeView attachment 30165107View attachment 30165133 View attachment 30165130View attachment 30165131
Plus Core class forks good still for these types of scenes
