They're just trying to catch up with all the G1 Blaster reissues.
Which is a shame, Mecha Invasion Giant Legion Heavy Builder looks amazing with the arms and legs swapped!
Kinda wish Hasbro would steal that idea for an Autobot Build Team update.
High Tower
Heavy Load
Quick Mix
Wedge
Longrack
Landmine
CW Devastator had alternate headsculpt toolings for Scoop, Grimlock, Quickmix, Hightower, Wedge, and Heavy Load:
Close ups of the Quickmix and Scoop heads:
I'd buy them
I would too, but only if they were attached to the rest of the bodies.
Or if my Ewoks needed a new drum kit.
I preordered them for my nephew, since they seemed like the best bet, especially after I saw the Devastation Optimus he got (small but surprisingly solid without clear parts and it works with all his other existing Optimus accessory stuff), but does anyone know if the Devastation Wheeljack and Side Swipe are new molds or recolors of old ones? Neither I or him have any other G1-ish modern version, so it doesn't matter, I just like to look up transformation so I'm prepared.
And while not Studio Series, I think, I do hope they do a good release of the Hearts of Steel BB and Megatron after the Comic Con release they've spoken of, those are the last two 'big' things I wanted to get preorders in before my next medical mess round, as he loves trains and old style cannons, it's like they prepared the two-pack special.

They're redecos of the Earthrise molds.
And Sideswipe might have the wrong head.

Excellent, I'll look them up. I don't think the head will matter much, it's more that the ones we DO have are older than he is (the Wheeljack is from the Reveal the Shield era) and sooner or later they're going to fall apart.

Not surprising, but it's nice to finally get confirmation.
Only took forty years!

Watch it just be a re-release of the TFO one.
It will likely be repainted into the G1 colours, it leaves the question of, will it be able to light the darkest hour, AKA lighting feature
The TF One matrix wasn't made by Hasbro; there was a cheap one made by a costume company called "Disguise," that lit up, and the statue you just posted made by, I think, Culture Fly.
Whatever sculpt they use for the Matrix will likely be in-house.

I bought the Halloween costume one, and it is actually pretty nice for what it is. Sculpt is good and the light so feature works well
I looked for the TF One version for my nephew but once I saw it didn't actually do anything I knew it wasn't going to hack it. Interested in what Studio Series might bring to the table. Probably carried by a Galvatron chain, though. Trying to 'wear' it Prime style won't work, the ribs just don't bend that way.
Fill it with Cullen voice clips (and at least one Judd Nelson, "now... light our darkest hour"), and appropriately-cut clips from "The Touch", and whatever LED shenanigans are needed to reproduce that glittery effect, and sold.
Pretty shrewd timing to market that thing now, what with all the plagues and hatred spreading across the globe...
They had to cost out the wisdom of the ages. But Takara's will have additional paint, including a tampo of "wisdom" in cybertronix.
Only if you're not a true fan! Now hold still and let me get my hacksaw...

I'd go Rodimus style, put it a bit lower.
Get my stomach removed, I guess.
