TRANSFORMERS Toys Studio Series 56 Leader Class Dark of The Moon Shockwave Action Figure - Kids Ages 8 & Up, 8.5"

Product Information

This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail. Hatchet, Hound Leader Class figures are 8.5-inch collectible action figures inspired by iconic movie scenes and designed with specs and details to reflect the Transformers movie universe.

It's almost as if you guys are COMPLETELY missing the point just to scream "but without hasbro/takara Transformers wouldn't exist"…smdh The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even had code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series Barricade from the Bumblebee movie toy line, with which the Studio Series shares its code names. The argument here was that 3rd parties rely on hastaks MOULDS. Not character design. Again, something y'all are missing here, 3rd parties put more love and effort into their figures. Seriously why are y'all so damned butthurt over the idea that someone likes 3rd party more???

Figure converts between robot and cannon mode in 17 steps. Perfect for fans looking for a more advanced converting figure. Despite Studio Series' prominently featured numbering system, there are several numbers missing from the line, as of writing these being: 86-18 and 94. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 86-24, 95, 96, and 102 are missing, but are assigned to the Buzzworthy Bumblebee version of the line, though it is unclear if there are any plans for them to be released in the regular Studio Series line as well. 74 Revenge of the Fallen Bumblebee is the only set so far to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in Buzzworthy Bumblebee. Reach past the big screen and build the ultimate Transformers collection with Studio Series figures, inspired by iconic movie scenes and designed with specs and details to reflect the Transformers movie universe.

Junkion Scrapheap and Buzzworthy Bumblebee Ironhide both use the 86-24 number, the first time the same number has been used for different characters between the two lines. While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the Studio Series toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the Beast Wars 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ( Cyclonus, Rodimus Prime and Galvatron) being sold in the concurrently-ran Kingdom toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines. Seems Hasbro are the only ones actually moving the brand forward and creating things. 3Ps just come around once the hard part is done. They make “quality” product only because they skirt the law and have no restrictions, which can be great if you’re after that one really great version they happen to put out, but don’t act like 3Ps aren’t literally leeching off the hard work of others. Just sometimes those leeches make a nice shiny toy that makes you forget they did nothing to earn that.First revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, Transformers Generations: Studio Series (aka Transformers: Studio Series), acts as a celebration under the Generations banner of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It has to date also coincided with Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, the sixth and seventh films in the live-action film series.
