Whether you love or loathe the Michael Bay designs, there\u2019s no denying these new <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studio Series<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> figures (which were released this week, btw) look amazing. Plus, they\u2019re probably the only TF Movie series to actually scale with each other, which means these Leader-class bots are big &#8211; really big.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grimlock in particular just oozes quality with his impressive heft and stunning brushed green-metallic finish. He\u2019s also one of the largest Leader figures yet, which makes sense considering his alt mode. While the transformation process finds the right mix of being complex but not overly complicated, the end result isn\u2019t quite as satisfying as his menacing robot mode. That said, he looks great on a shelf and is quite possibly the biggest, baddest Grimlock figure yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackout, on the other hand, sports a stellar helicopter mode that spans approximately 16-inches. Yup, it\u2019s huge. He also comes with a lot of smart-yet-subtle features including moveable fingers, articulated feet, and more. As one of the most anticipated figures in the line, this guy definitely lives up to the hype. And while his transformation isn\u2019t overly complex, you\u2019ll probably want to follow the steps properly. He also comes with his own little Scorponok drone that&#8217;s both impressively articulated and can be stored in his alt mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more news on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transformers Studio Series<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> figures, be sure to listen to the latest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/podcasts\/180406c_pod.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toy of the Week Podcast<\/a> below.
