Thanks to a heads up by a post on Tformers.com, we now have new official photography for several of the upcoming Studio Series 86 action figures based on the 1986 animated film! These images come from Amazon Japan and offer fans a better look at what to expect when this line is released.

The War for Cybertron Trilogy continues with the second chapter in the trilogy: Earthrise where the Autobots and Decepticons have come to Earth, taking on new Earth-based forms in the 80's! Meanwhile the Studio Series continues with the remaining team members needed to form Devastator (and more!) while Selects kicks off with the long-awaited Seacons.

The "Power of the Primes" go full force in 2018 with the release of more Prime Masters, Combiners and Evolution figures. 2018 also introduces the sub-line of "Generations" known as "Studio Series" which focuses on new versions of characters from the ten year history of live action Transformers films.

• Studio Series Dino

Here are some notes I took during the session:

Thanks to a partnership between the awesome Ozformers and Hasbro Australia we have an official reveal of "Studio Series" Starscream!  Why is this a big deal?  There have already been a couple "Studio Series" Starscreams, right?  Well yes, but this is the first figure based on his appearance in the "Bumblebee" Movie!  Unlike the design seen in the earlier live action films, this one is more heavily based on the character's G1 appearance.
