Sludge
Transformers - Studio Series (Hasbro) - Movie
Rated 4.45 stars by RMaster007
It's been a long time since I last talked about one of the Dinobots from Hasbro's Transformers Studio Series, but now that they've released the last one needed, and I now have all five in the Leader format, it's time to finish up these reviews. Sludge was the third one released, so he'll be the third one I talk about. Sludge came after Hasbro decided to try out plastic-free packaging, so his box is a lot different from Grimlock and Slug/Slag. It isn't a window box, but rather a big illustration on the front, depicting the Dinobots' rescue of the other heroes from the Quintessons and Sharkticons. We still have the movie-themed backdrop on the inside, and it's meant to be for the figure rather than just part of the box. Inside of a plastic tray, we have a cardboard one that everything is...[See More]

Slug & Daniel Witwicky
Transformers - Studio Series (Hasbro) - Movie
Rated 4.60 stars by RMaster007
"Excuse me," cries Slug, a mighty robotic triceratops who, along with his fellow Dinobots, disrupts a Quintesson trial. Okay, his name's actually Slag, but since that's a swear not just used by Cybertronians, Hasbro changed it in recent years. His name may be different, but we all know who it is. Slug's toy design depicted him with a black head and thighs, but his cartoon appearance gave him a redhead and silver thighs. Since this is a Studio Series release, and therefore comes from the animated movie, Hasbro went with the latter. He's also a Leader class figure, which makes him 8" tall, though he's technically 9" due to the back kibble. This take on him not only looks just like his on-screen appearance, but better, thanks to all the sculpted detail he never got on painted cels. As the...[See More]

Grimlock & Autobot Wheelie
Transformers - Studio Series (Hasbro) - Movie
Rated 4.80 stars by RMaster007
It's a good time to be a Transformers fan with all the different merch coming out, including a couple different sub-lines from Hasbro. One of those is the Studio Series, and while I've only gotten two from that line so far, both of them are really dang good. One of those is the mighty Dinobot leader Grimlock, and I'm not joking when I say he's my favorite one in my collection (well, second-favorite, I got that Masterpiece Shockwave). Grimlock comes in a window box, since this figure was released before Hasbro decided to push for plastic-free packaging. The figure and nearly everything else are shown clearly in the box, and there's some cool artwork to complement it. There's a few plastic ties to snip to get the figure out, but other than that, everything can be taken out easily. The...[See More]
