The Transformers Studio Series is returning to the High Moon Studios Cybertron games by announcing three new “Gamer Edition” figures. You may have a hard time finding the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions of these great 3rd person shooters, but Hasbro is bringing the in-game designs back this Summer.
The first three figures in the Gamer Edition of the Studio Series include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Barricade. No Megatron or Soundwave? I don’t even remember Barricade being in the two Cybertron games. OK then.
Prime is priced at $34.99, while Barricade and Bumblebee are $24.99 each. Wave 1 will launch in July.
Optimus Prime comes with the following:
- 6.5-INCH SCALE OPTIMUS PRIME: Transformers Studio Series 03 Gamer Edition Optimus Prime action figure for boys and girls is highly articulated for posability and features video game-inspired deco and details
- 2 ICONIC MODES: This Voyager Class Transformers toy for 8 year old boys and girls features classic conversion between robot and Cybertronian truck modes in 22 steps
- AWESOME ACCESSORIES: Transformers figure comes with axe, 2 axe handle pieces, blaster, and Matrix of Leadership accessories. Swap out the figure’s hand and attach weapons as arm attachments
- REMOVABLE BACKDROP: Removable backdrop displays Optimus Prime figure in the Kaon Prison Break scene. Fans can use the backdrop and pose their figures in the scene with their own style
The small yet heroic Bumblebee comes with:
- 4.5-INCH SCALE BUMBLEBEE: Transformers Studio Series 01 Gamer Edition Bumblebee action figure for boys and girls is highly articulated for posability and features video game-inspired deco and details
- 2 ICONIC MODES: This Deluxe Class Transformers toy for 8 year old boys and girls features classic conversion between robot and Cybertronian car modes in 22 steps
- AWESOME ACCESSORIES: Transformers figure comes with 2 blasters and a sword accessory attach to the Bumblebee figure in both modes. Swap out the figure’s hand and attach either blaster as arm attachments
- REMOVABLE BACKDROP: Removable backdrop displays Bumblebee figure in the Defend Iacon scene. Fans can use the backdrop and pose their figures in the scene with their own style
Barricade may not look super impressive, but his vehicle mode is interesting. Like the Autobots in this line, he’ll come with a backdrop and the following:
- 4.5-INCH SCALE BARRICADE: Transformers Studio Series 02 Gamer Edition Barricade action figure for boys and girls is highly articulated for posability and features video game-inspired deco and details
- 2 ICONIC MODES: This Deluxe Class Transformers toy for 8 year old boys and girls features classic conversion between robot and Cybertronian car modes in 15 steps
- AWESOME ACCESSORIES: Transformers figure comes with a blaster accessory attaches to the Barricade figure in both modes. Swap out the figure’s hand and attach the blaster as a weapon arm attachment
I’m getting concerned about how cheap these figures are starting to look. We see the prices inch upward, but I don’t think the new premium is reflected in the final product. Of the three, Bumblebee is the best looking, while Prime could use a few more paint applications here and there.
