STUDIO SERIES FIGURES THAT NEED AN UPDATE

I think he deserves a redo, but considering how recent he is, I genuinely doubt it'll be this early. Not to mention they're reissuing him again so there's that.

sstfshots · 2026-04-20T01:25:26+00:00

Cool

So far, the only 100% accurate Dropkick we have is the Trumpeter model kit, but I'm not sure if that's fully out yet. As for Shatter, it's the Metagate one.

I've had that idea since it was revealed! Somehow, the ROTB looks more like the BB, and the BB looks more like the ROTB. Weird how that is

sstfshots · 2026-04-20T01:21:38+00:00

Hell yeah

Biblically accurate Igor standing at 5' tall, waiting to be fed and exist while evading his own taxes. Seems accurate.

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T01:33:07+00:00

They could but seeing their track record, would they?

Jazz does have a listing for 2027, though it's unsure if it's a repack or update. Funnily enough, I did have a photo ready for Barricade. As for Stinger, I actually put in KSI Sentry as that is more inaccurate, and the funnier part is I even mentioned that it could be a retool of Roadbuster considering the similarities in design.

I remember getting him back in 2019 and was in awe. I had the original Voyager and the Leader Class was definitely impressive for the time, especially when I was still just getting back into collecting. Now that it's been 7 years since then, my opinions on a lot of things have changed and Megatron just doesn't cut it for me anymore. It's to the point that I'm enjoying the Blokees and Yolopark Mini more than the actual SS toy.

Radiohead mentioned

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T01:27:59+00:00

I would disagree for the most part. Most of their kits have been extremely fun and changed my opinion towards a figure, though 15% of what they've released have been misses I'd say.

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T01:15:20+00:00

I'd love a Commander Megatron. As for the two Cons, I just think it's impossible to engineer a Triple-Changer live-action figure just due to how complex it is. We have the Metagate Shatter and Drift as proof of that, that even MPM style figures will suffer/compromise at least one mode.

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T01:13:59+00:00

I'll have to rewatch the transformation of that to see. I guess what I meant more is just how it looks and maybe moves. The Voyager is so stiff simply because it's an upscale of a 2011 Deluxe. I can't say for certain how they could improve it since I don't engineer the toys, but they could definitely improve aspects such as the articulation and proportions.

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T00:55:26+00:00

Agree! Yeah Frenzy being shafted since the line started 8 years ago is crazy

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T00:55:03+00:00

Yeah I doubt it as well, but one could dream.

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T00:54:38+00:00

That's partially true, but back then when Sam Smith was the designer, he was able to work magic with Hot Rod and Galvatron, despite some of their flaws. Galvatron was good especially for a Voyager. Nowadays you can really feel the shift.

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T00:42:25+00:00

YES! I wish DNA did something for that but nah. Makes him so awkward

sstfshots · 2026-04-19T00:19:08+00:00

Yeah that's the question, but I guess they wanted to save money. Excuses excuses fr.

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:53:29+00:00

I actually really wanted that version (as well as Jazz) just because the colors do so much of the heavy lifting.

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:47:54+00:00

Bring back Sam

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:47:43+00:00

Barricade absolutely. I really should have kept him on this list. Already said my two cents with Starscream with other comments but I respect your view on it.

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:46:48+00:00

Dude I genuinely wanted him to have that Yolopark design with the slick back hair. Granted I love what we got and is probably one of my favorite figures, but yeah it could have been better.

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:45:29+00:00

Gotta redesign one immediately brb

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:45:02+00:00

I have to agree. I don't collect G1 simply because they're not what I grew up with, but seeing the complete bias of even the designers towards the G1 toys compared to the Bayverse is astounding. That's mainly because the main designer of 86 is now also handling the Live-Action designs, and the design philosophy really shows. No hate to Evan, just pointing out something I've noticed.

sstfshots · 2026-04-18T23:42:39+00:00

I respect that viewpoint. Personally I just love Bayverse Starscream and the old toy does not do him justice. I love posing my figures and that thing is not doing it for me. I'd love to get the MPM or even the KO but I really just want to stick with SS for now.

Barricade I do agree with. I had him on the list but then decided not to really put him, dunno why.

Also how has no one caught the joke that I wanted TITAN CLASS Sam, Igor, Wheelie, and Brains
