Studio Series Wave 11 Leader, Rise Of The Beasts Mainline Wave 3 Beast Combiners & Beast Weaponizer, Earthspark Wave 3 Warrior & Deluxe In Hong Kong – 2005 Boards member Pixelmaster spotted SS-101 ROTB Scourge at Taikoo Shing. Also, ROTB Beast Combiners Optimus Prime & Lionblade and Beast Weaponizers Arcee & Cheetor plus Earthspark Warrior Starscream and Deluxe Nightshare showed up at Mong Kok. Prior to moving over to the Transformers team, I had been spoiled by a brand that handled all of the digital sculpts internally in RI, so we always had beautiful orthographic render sheets being shared with the design team for us to generate deco sheets. I set out to establish a new process with the guidance of Paul Bennett that would allow us to convert the toy CAD into a usably file in Zbrush, (i accidentally wrote keyshot on the image) which would then enable us to polygroup the figure into individual parts, so that they could be highlighted for a rapid selection of mold groups across all the views. It was short lived before we migrated into using Keyshot (which the later BB figure decos were created in) which explains the slight visual discrepancy to some of the breakdowns of later figures."

Lets talk the controversy on this vehicle / CD player / flying crab? – I’ve seen plenty of names for it! In reviewing the concept art and the character model, we knew that a car form was out of the question given how slender the bot mode was. Knowing that she had hollowed out wheels on her heels (which oddly enough her waist down doesn’t show up in the movie) We began investigating a cycle mode that would allow for a for charging front fork. ICONIC MODES: Figure features classic conversion between robot and Cybertronian hover spacecraft modes in 29 steps. Perfect for fans looking for a more advanced converting figure. For kids and adults ages 8 and up The voyager-sized Human Alliance Dark of the Moon Soundwave transforms into his fully licensed SLS AMG mode. He has " SUPERIOR" tampographed on his license plate and comes with Laserbeak and Mr. Gould.

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. West D. – Is Soundwave based on old GI JOE crossover comic inspiration? Not the direct intent, possible concept artists referenced. Had multiple concepts before this was chosen. Needed functioning chest cavity and accurate bot mode.
Two-headed sculpture with optimized facial features to closely resemble the movie appearance,exuding a more majestic presence. Additionally, due to the scale of the figure, we needed to get a lot of rise out of the limbs. Ejima Takio did an amazing job of keeping the onscreen height of this character, while allowing it to collapse into an ultra compact vehicle form, that would let this figure maintain the deluxe scale price point. This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail. Hatchet, Hound Figure features vivid, movie-inspired deco, is highly articulated for posability, and comes with blaster and shoulder cannon accessories inspired by the film It is important to keep in mind that when Paramount designed the movie models for the Bumblebee film they did not create alt-modes for most of the models, so Hasbro had to take the existing robot form and figure something out. They kind of succeeded and honestly given the robot form I have a hard time picturing how they could have manipulated the parts of the figure into a more cohesive vehicle without potentially increasing the cost of creating the figure.TFW2005 – Possibility of doing toys based on concept art for characters that looked different or never made it into the movies? Right now because they were in movie at least in one form – that’s how they justify it going into Studio Series. But if there is demand, they would consider concept art versions or similar. Faster spray frequency, combined with rapid breathing mode, enhances the life-like quality of the mechanical beast. Push the two smaller pieces from the insides of the lower legs together. These are the small pieces with the "L" shaped silver designs on them.
As is usual for any Human Alliance figure, Gould (or any other "driver" figure) can can sit on Soundwave's seats in vehicle mode or stand on his hands in robot mode. BaCon – Will we see other cassette bots?– Love idea, but would basically be completely made up. No concept art for others done at movie level. Loaded up with all of his gear in either his bot or vehicle mode, Brawn always looks ready for battle!" Alright, so lets talk about some cool design elements for this guy. Apart from the subtle tooling modification to incorporate the cone head cowl, TT did an awesome job of of maximizing the existing parts to deliver a unique silhouette with the wings, which can be configured in the various orientations that we see across the bot modes.

Once I rejoined the Transformers team a few years later, I knew that these we the bots that I wanted to bring to the line.

Core Class figures allow fans to collect mini versions of iconic characters from the movie universe. In cassette mode, the RAVAGE figure can fit inside Voyager Class 83 SOUNDWAVE figure’s chest (Sold separately, subject to availability).
Alright, let’s talk Brawn! This was such a fun evolution of the G1 design, but we definitely had our work cut out for us in delivering a convincing alt mode. There was a lot of influence in the CAD that aligned from the Cybertronian Bumblebee design, so I think there was some efficiencies used to bring him to life. Studio Series 86 Commander Class Ultra Magnus In Germany – 2005 Boards member Nemesis Scourge got SS 86-21 Ultra Magnus at Müller in Moers. Bumblebee Greatest Hits Soundwave is a retool of Titans Return Soundwave, who is in turn a retool of Titans Return Blaster. The figure comes with his Titan Master partner, Doombox, who transforms into his head. In addition to his robot and boombox alternate modes, he can also transform into a "city mode" that can link up to the other base modes in Titans Return, and features numerous 5 mm mounting points for weapons and Titan Master vehicles and turrets, as well as tiny pegs to accommodate many other Titan Master figures.

INCH SCALE ARCEE: Figure features vivid, movie-inspired deco, is highly articulated for posability and comes with 2 blaster accessories inspired by the film Lastly, Damn those knees! One of the biggest struggles with this figure was accounted for the PA parts in the mold. PA is a nylon like material with phenomenal tensile strength but with the unfortunate side effect of not accepting paint well. This material has been standardized for transformation joints to help prevent breakage from being a common rotation point. In most instances when you question, “I wonder why they didn’t paint that” it often means that the part was molded in PA." November is going fast, and this past week we have some new Earthspark and ROTB toys in Finland, the new SS Commander Ultra Magnus in Germany, new Studio Series, ROTB mainline and Earthspark toys in Hong Kong, and new ROTB mainline figures in New Zealand.
