So Hasbro had another Fan First Friday livestream reveal on YouTube this morning:

https://youtu.be/v-r_ueBc4R0

The Studio Series Sweep is confirmed to be a different color than Scourge. He's a brighter shade of blue, meant to evoke the G1 toy colors more closely. So, they will be similar in appearance to Scourge, but not identical. I was predicting that they'd do something like this, which is why I gobbled up Scourge toys like mad. I know some people like to be able to distinguish Scourge from his troopers somehow, but for me, my Scourge needs to match my Sweeps. The hands are different, as reported, and the Sweep comes with a slightly different blast effect as well. I think they said he was supposed to be up for pre-order later today.

Studio Series Perceptor was also revealed. He's a Deluxe-class toy and looks amazingly good. He not only turns into microscope mode, but he can also assume a semblance of the Diaclone-era "tank" mode. I think they said he was coming in 2022.

They also revealed the coronation edition of Starscream. He's the Earthrise toy with some different deco, sold with lots of extras and packaged as a Leader-class toy. He's got new articulated hands and comes with a big cape, crown, and a throne (technically the captain's chair from the Nemesis, but close enough). They changed up his deco to be more animation-accurate, so he lacks the battle damage and has some alternate deco choices (black wing-connector squares, no stripes on the rudders).

Anyway, exciting stuff.

Zob (they can continue to celebrate The Transformers: the Movie for as long as they want, and I'll be happy)

I just hope the Sweep hand colors match Scourge's. I was planning to swap a couple hands so I had one Scourge/Sweep with two "normal" hands and one with two "open" hands. I don't mind a minor variant in the tone of the "darker" blue since that could be attributed to lighting of a particular frame or so of animation. A Sweep that is "lighter" may just be younger or weaker in my book.

I like the look of Perceptor, just hope the connection that holds his shoulder gun is better than the Titans Return version (that seemed kinda wobbly to me). He even gets his red gun. If a third party made his hand-held missile launcher it could hold "blast effects" instead of missiles.

All he really needs now is a mold of his burned feet and a crushed crown that fits under Galvatron's foot.

Pity they didn't show any of the remaining Kingdom stuff, since Blaster is rumored for that line.

I finally got a shipping notification from Hasbro Pulse yesterday about this guy. I thought it would never happen! It's been such a long seven months. I'm very excited that he's on the way.

We got a notification that our restock of this case was on the way after the first 4 cases sold out in the first 4 days

I found out yesterday that Zobo the Robot was a legitimate Lego character.
