Studio Series 86 Bonecrusher and Scrapper for Pre-Order

[Zobovor]

These toys were unveiled yesterday at Hasbro's 1027 event, and went live
for pre-order on fine e-tailers everywhere today. They're already sold
out on Hasbro Pulse (that did not take long at ALL) but they're still up
on Big Bad Toy Store.

Note that Bonecrusher is a Deluxe-class toy, so he is $24.99, while
Scrapper is a Voyager, so he is $34.99. People are going crazy about
this online for some reason. They don't seem to understand that these
are price points and not size classes. It's almost like Scrapper has
extra engineering because he turns into a leg, which means things like a
hidden ankle tilt and a combiner port.

People are also losing their minds for some reason because (checks
notes) Bonecrusher is green. Which I guess is a thing that they just
never noticed, I guess? Having seen no episodes in which he appears and
maybe just never noticing him in The Transformers: the Movie? I just
don't get this fandom sometimes. Like, seriously, Twitter is nothing
but anti-Bonecrusher posts right now. Yes, friends, he's green. He's
supposed to be. He was actually colored that way in the movie. That's
why the toy is green. Because it's meant to match the show.

Some other data points: Bonecrusher and Scrapper are going to ship
around April 2025. The plan is to make the Hook/Long Haul two-pack
($89.99) available in July, and then Scavenger ($24.99) and Mixmaster
($34.99) will be ready in September.

I didn't watch the 1027 livestream (hey, Hasbro, some of us have jobs,
you know) but supposedly they mentioned that there might be a
Constructicons gift set at some point down the road which may include
extra accessories (probably those trumpets that they wanted to throw in
originally, but couldn't do it because of cost reasons).

giving him any longer?)

I don't know why they'd shoot themselves in the Scrapper like that
because at least some people are going to wait for the box. I guess it
doesn't matter because these guys are all pre-sold out on Pulse at the
moment.

My predication is the box will have the cartoon colors with the black
forearms and maybe even an alternate cartoon head. Maybe the box'll
include the big 'ol honkin drill cape from Zone? Or maybe it's be a
Gamer editionDevastation cel shaded Devastaor. Who knows.

Now I do think we're in the end times for Hasbro TFs so it'd be
fitting if they hold off on putting out the box for a bit so that the
first TF combiner character ends up being the last TF combiner ever
released by Hasbro.
