As do i (were I to be into salmon much), but I discovered (in some Googling between posts) that some color guides call that shade... Coral.

It's fascinating. Hex values are much more sensible, but less fun.

Good ol‘ JtPrime has got details on some later year releases reportedly on tap for Studio Series:

  • Rise Of The Beasts Scourge31 steps, 3 accessories: blade, claw and blaster.
  • Age Of Extinction Evasion Optimus Prime27 steps, blaster accessory.
  • Age Of Extinction Bumblebee34 steps, bladed blaster accessory.
  • Transformers One Soundwave27 steps and rocket launcher accessory.

Scourge seemingly a modified package refresh- the original Leader release sported the same number of steps, but no blaster (a function filled by the core class Freezer/Novakane). Might be a deco refresh with a new blaster on the existing leader tooling.

Evasion Prime is likely a Voyager, probably a new mold

AoE Bumblebee- That is a LOT of steps for a deluxe. Would Hasbro be willing to pull a “Hot Rod” with AoE Bumblebee? Guess we’ll see…

TFOne Soundwave- Probably a deluxe to keep him in scale with the other TFOne entries.

Scourge had a blaster; it was the barrel thing you could replace his claw with.

Pictured in the upper right corner.
I stand corrected. I had a hard time seeing against the mess of parts with Freezor there as well.

Tformers has additional details in regards to size classes, confirming BB and Soundwave as deluxe class, Prime as Voyager, and Scourge as Leader.

Not wowed by anything here. Prime probably looks a lot better when transformed properly. It does raise my hopes for a redo of his 2007-2011 design, because the proportions here do look incredibly close.

I'm picking up TFone Soundwave and Thundercracker because I really do like their designs.

I'll welcome a second chance to get Scourge since he was impossible to find the first time.

They've done so many muscle car movie bumblebees and all that really changes is is vehicle kibble, so you'd expect them to be great at it by now. What the hell happened to those shins?

Oh man this is all pass
QFT. I can't recall the last time that I skipped an entire wave, but all of these are non-starters for me. It's cool that folks who want him will have another crack at Scourge, I guess.

Yeah, same here. I actually do love that Scourge toy, but I managed to get him on his first go-round. I don't collect Movie toys as a general rule, but he makes a fantastic evil Junkion warlord for Wreck-Gar and co. to fight.

That Optimus looks a bit rough to me, but perhaps the cab section is easier to transform than the original?

I'm still disappointed by the smaller SS One scale, but I'll get Soundwave and TC. I already have Scourge, along with the DNA kit to help with some of his issues.

I'm not sure about Optimus and Bee. I've dropped the idea of fully building the full cast of all the movies with the advent of the Titan Dinobots, but that pull to complete at least the core cast is still there. However, I'm not loving these two. I think I'm leaning toward passing. I could see picking them up if they hit clearance.

Will this finally be the first TF: One toy that doesn't disappoint me? Probably not, but Soundwave is the only one I'm interested in as far as these releases.
