We can finally share for you a nice set of official images of the new Premium Finish Studio Series Ratchet And War For Cybertron Siege Starscream.

Premium Finish Ratchet is a special redeco of the Studio Series SS-04 Ratchet mold with several new extra paint applications and tampograph. Premium Finish Starscream is quite a curious case. While many fans would have expect a “clean” version of the mold without the battle damage paint, this new redeco still shows the weathering effect but in a completely different shade which is more noticeable in alt mode and more subtle in robot mode.

Polygon sat down with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to talk a bit about the past and the future of the Transformers Live Action Movie Franchise.

Q: Was Bumblebee a bit of a gamble? Did it pay off? It seemed successful, but maybe modestly so.

A: I rarely criticize the marketing campaigns because it is what it is, but it truly had an abysmal marketing campaign. They were trying to sell it too soft and so it became like we were selling an animated movie or something. But the result of it was that the movie is really loved. It re-engaged the audience in a very different way and was very successful in that. I think from a financial point of view, you’re right, it was a modest success. But for the franchise, it was a big success. It reminded the audience of their sort of elemental connection to these metal beings and why we love them and why we care about their personality. So I think on that level, it was a smashing success. The best measure is we got to go on ahead and make another Transformers movie.

Q: You recently announced Transformers: Rise of the Beasts — how will that continue the thinking from Bumblebee or perhaps rethink the franchise?

A: I’ll say this: The first Transformers movie and the Bumblebee movie both got into that sense of wonder and that first connection between man and machine. So we’re hoping to replicate, in many ways, what we did in Transformers 1, which was tell a very emotion-driven story with big, wild experience. Bumblebee reminded us of our roots, in a sense.

Thanks to 2005 Board member Arnhide for giving us the heads up of his sighting of the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee Clunker Bumblebee & Barricade 2-Pack at US retail.

The Buzzworthy Bumblebee line doesn’t stop to surprise us. Just a few hours after our first image of the Clunker Bumblebee & Barricade 2-Pack, now we have images of two new 2-packs: High Octane Bumblebee & Stinger and Bumblebee & Dropkick.

The first pack consists of re-releases of the Age Of Extinction High Octane Bumblebee mold and Studio Series SS-02 Stinger and the second pack are re-releases of the Studio Series SS-18 Bumblebee (Bumblebee Movie VW Beetle) and SS-46 Dropkick.

It’s good to notice that High Octane Bumblebee is packed as BB79 which gives us a hint of a possible release in the Studio Series line as SS-79. Also, we can confirm that the VW Beetle Bumblebee & Stinger 2-pack was found at a Target store in Tucson, Arizona for $42.00.

Thanks to Instagram user @jesterhatsjhund, we have our first image of the new  Buzzworthy Bumblebee Clunker Bumblebee & Barricade 2-Pack.

This pack consists of re-releases of SS-27 Clunker Bumblebee and SS-28 Barricade in the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee packaging. We are yet to see an official reveal of this figure, so we still don’t have much details about it but the image seems to come from Thailand.

Update: Via AmornTrade On Facebook (from Thailand) we have better quality images of the box plus we can catch a glimpse of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee High Octane Bumblebee & Stinger 2-pack.

Some images have surfaced over the internet showing what could be our possible first look at Premium Finish Studio Series Ratchet And Siege Starscream.

As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we get and official confirmation. We have some small images which show the Studio Series SS-04 Ratchet mold with some new extra paint applications and the War For Cybertron Siege Starscream mold which now seems a “clean” version without the battle-damage finishing. While the images are low-quality, they give us an idea of the possible deco improvements on these figures.

Via Yu’s Hobbyland Facebook we have our first look a the new Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri God Power Jet Armor Gray Prototype for your viewing pleasure.

This is kind of a unique release in the high quality Kuro Kara Kuri action figures line. Even since we saw the first sketches, we knew this was not going to be a figure but a complete set of extra parts to be combined with Kuro Kara Kuri Optimus Prime into a highly stylized ROTF Jetpower Optimus Prime.  The new image, possibly from the upcoming ACGHK convention in Hong Kong, gives us a loo on how all the parts combine with Optimus Prime and we can also catch a glimpse of an enormous gun which seems to be part of this set.

Update: Bigger and clearer image via Tag Hobby. Also, first official image via Flame Toys Facebook
