TakaraTomy Studio Series VW Bumblebee, KSI Sentry, And ROTF Starscream Hi-res Official Images

Thanks to TakaraTomy we have a few new pieces of high res stock imagery for upcoming Japanese Studio Series releases. While there had been a numbering discrepancy between the Hasbro and TakaraTomy lines since Thundercracker, the upcoming assortments really begin to diverge more. Numbers 16-18 on the Japanese side are Volkswagen Bumblebee, KSI Sentry, and Revenge of The Fallen deco Starscream, respectively. Meanwhile on the Hasbro side, those same toys are 18, 23, and 21. While we're sure that each company has their reasons for the particular release orders, this probably isn't making things easy for variant collectors - or the ones for whom series numbering is of significant importance.
