For those unaware, a new product has been gaining in popularity among Transformers fans and they are the licensed Blokees model kits. Blokees are licensed Transformers themed model kits. The pieces are on sprue trees and must be detached and then put together to create a poseable non transforming figure. They are in blind boxes and can be purchased on Ali Express but they are also available on the Blokees site: https://blokees.com/
While there are already many series out (the part sharing and standardized design make these far quicker to design and produce), we now know of 2 more: Shining Series 2 and Transformers One. For Transformers One, all we have is a grainy image, we can't even make them all out (is that first one Wheeljack?) but for Shining Series 2, we have official images showing G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Grimlock, G1 Sideswipe, G1 Beachcomber, G1 Soundwave, G1 Sunstorm, and the chase figure being "Optimus Prime Secret". These have LED lights, hence the name of the series.
If you want to know more about them, we have a review below explaining what these are and how big they are along with a review of the entirety of wave 2.
Thanks to consistently accurate leaker Jtprime17, by way of our own Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee, we have a list of what may be all of the Studio Series retail releases for 2025. No, that's not a typo, it's the end of February 2024 and we already know what's coming out next year. Once the shock wears off there's some really interesting things listed here. For one we seem to be going back to the Bayverse movies in a pretty big way! Hatchet seems to have found a new home after the Target release was canceled, Que is finally getting a new figure, Age of Extinction Optimus Prime is getting updated at last and the Stinger mold might be coming back with a retool as the unused concept fembot "Widow Maker".
Gamer Edition is continuing with the expected Starscream repaints and Ironhide. Studio Series 86 looks to be giving us the first four members of the Constructicons in a mix of Voyagers and Deluxes (the rest will surely be coming in 2026), and package refreshes of Grimlock, Perceptor and Jazz. We've also got a few listings for TF:One, Rise of the Beasts and another A Level Optimus Prime.
Full list can be seen below and be sure to discuss it in the Energon Pub forums!

The Transformers Team over on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel decided to have a little fun between BMac, Evan and Mark and do a sort of sports style "toy draft" picking their favorite figures of 2023 without duplicating picks for their "teams". They're picks were broken down by class as well as a wild card pick in no specific order. While mostly just something done for fun it did include quite a bit of banter between the three that has given us some insight into what we might find in the future as well as insight into the design process of figures they chose.
- It doesn't sound like they're working on a blue G2 Grimlock... yet.
- There was a brief, not by name mention of Dino King when talking about Core Scarr
- They actually called Nemesis "dommy mommy"... (Link is at least visually safe for work.)
- They said they have way more female characters than most people know about. Not sure if that meant to pick from or in the works.
- Apparently Takara gave the go ahead for SS86 Rumble and Frenzy to get their cartoon colors matched to their names (RiBFiR) after Siege went the other way (seemingly at Takara's request).
- Mark actually said Ultra Magnus has been under represented leading to the SS86 figure.
- Mark used some of Aaron Archer's original concept art when designing Commander Class Armada Optimus Prime.
- Mark was also the one that got Buzzworthy Tow-Line made.
- They joke about only making 4 SS86 Dinobots. They must hear that alot.
- Lots of gushing over Retro reissue pink Hot Rod and praise for that line in general.
- Mark actually went to a dump and waste management site for inspiration with Trashmaster (who was named by their copy editor).
- Tease more Insecticon repaints (but definitely no more Dinobots).
It's a little telling that while they praised the Studio Series line, most of their picks came from Legacy. Was there anything big that was missed? Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forum!
Fun news for Americans, several new exclusives in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line are being found in Target stores. Here is a breakdown of the sightings:
- Transformers Rise of the Beasts Jungle Mission 3-Pack, which has Cheetor, Mirage and Airazor (finally) found by 3P Desperation in Daphne, Alabama
- Transformers Studio Series Rise Of The Beasts Optimus Prime found by Taureanstar in Mooresville, North Carolina
- Transformers Studio Series 86 2 Pack, featuring a dying Prowl and Ironhide, found by CringeMcCringle in Bainbridge, Ohio (AOE Grimlock was also found at that location and has been out for a little while, but just a heads up in case people don't know)
In a tweet a few hours ago Takara Tomy's official @TF_pr account teased four sets of new reveals for this coming Thursday, March 9. Among them is a new collaboration with Canon Camera featuring what appears to be Nemesis Prime. There isn't anything else to go by, but I think we can guess what it'll look like since Optimus Prime was already a black camera. They also teased several other figures being announced within the franchise, one of which is the Premium Finish set of Beast Wars Optimus Primal and Megatron from their respective Kingdom releases we reported the other day. Less interesting is the tease for the Japanese release of Legacy Evolution Prime Skyquake, Metal Hawk, Shrapnel, Animated Prowl and Core Grimlock and Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Scourge and Cheetor.
We'll bring you more as we learn about it and you can always bring the discussion to the Seibertron.com Energon Pub forums.
Thanks to JTPrime17, we have confirmation of yesterday's Studio Series listings, including the EAN number and Product number. Now, please read this attentively: the designation of the characters is said to be erroneous at times. Meaning that "MV6" can reffer to "86" as we saw with 86 Wheelie which was listed for vendor sites as "Transformers Generation Studio Series Core Tf7 Wheelie 5010994112134". Also the WFC refers to the High Moon games. Please keep that in mind when looking at this list.

Hasbro has just finished their Transformers Fan First Friday livestream on YouTube (which you can view below). We have screenshots in a gallery that showcases all of the reveals and pictures for you!
This livestream was mainly focused on the 35th Anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, and as such, they showed off the 35th anniversary editions of the movie, in Steelbook and 4K UHD versions, both of which feature artwork from acclaimed pop culture artist Matt Ferguson (www.cakesandcomics.com). The Steelbook will be available to preorder via Shout Factory's website starting on Monday, May 24th, and the 4K version will be available later this summer.
Next up, they officially revealed Studio Series 86-07 Leader Class Slug with Daniel Witwicky! While his existence was known for weeks, with even video reviews popping up, we did get to see his packaging, and he'll come with the same Sharkticon Pit backdrop as Grimlock.
And as you can see from that last picture, we're also getting Deluxe Class Sharkticon Gnaw! Studio Series 86-08, Deluxe Class Gnaw (now properly labeled as a Quintesson) is far more screen accurate than any previous version, and this new-mold figure includes his tail mace, and in a nod to his 1986 toy, his G1-styled gun is also included. Also, a comparison with his Titans Return incarnation was shown, and we can see that he's significantly bigger.
Next up was last week's leaked figure, Voyager Class Wreck-Gar! Many fans will be very pleased to know that he can, indeed, ride himself! Apologies for not getting a clearer shot, but it was demonstrated that not only can the Voyager Wreck-Gar ride himself, but Deluxe Class figures can also ride him. His packaging also showcases the Planet of Junk backdrop.
And the final reveal of the livestream was Shattered Glass Starscream! Using the Siege tetrajet mold in SG Starscream's traditional colors (inspired by G1 Jetfire), he also includes a sword accessory that can split into two separate swords.
In addition to the reveals above, Hasbro also has a special promo code to get 30% off apparel right now. Just use the code ISTILLFUNCTION to take advantage of this special.
So what do you think? Are you excited to add to your Studio Series 86 collection? Looking forward to adding another heroic Decepticon to your ranks? All the toys revealed will be available to preorder at 1PM EST on Hasbro Pulse.
Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Darth JoJo Gojira Prime 1939, we've learned that YouTuber, Kremzeek Reviews, has just unloaded a brand new video review of the forthcoming Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slag!
While this figure is yet to be officially revealed by Hasbro, we've known of its existence for some time based on leaked listings and the photos that emerged a month or so ago. The figure is highly accurate to his appearance in the movie and comes with a small Daniel minifigure. He is the second of the Dinobots to debut under this new line, following on from Grimlock and Wheelie.
Check out the review below!
What do you think of the review? Are you excited to get this dinobot?
Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
With the lack of conventions this year, Prime 1 Studios made a really cool video to showcase all their upcoming statues. They make high end Transformers statues, usually movie themed, and were sure to include them as part of the presentation. They showed Age of Extinction Grimlock, Movie 1 Blackout and his companion Scorponok. These statues are MASSIVE. Just look at that screenshot of Blackout below. Most of these will be up for preorder very soon. We also have the video for you below, the Transformers begin at the 35 minute mark.
We have what might be some pretty huge news. Fellow Seibertronian JTPRime17 has found a Walmart listing for Transformers Generations Studio Series Leader 86 Grimlck Whe. Now, the Studio Series line was always labeled in the system as part of Generations so that fits, but the big deal here is what comes next which is what seems to be a shortened version of Leader class Grimlock + Wheelie from the 86 Transformers film. Walmart listings have yet to be wrong so we can only assume this means the Studio Series line is branching out into bringing us figures from the 86 Transformers film. The pairing of Grimlock and Wheelie makes lots of sense since that's where they became friends.
This is potentially huge news since it could mean you would be getting more Generation 1 toys with the screen accurate detail and complexity found in the Studio Series line. And us having a listing now means this could be coming within the next year. You'll let us know if the idea of getting another set of G1 seekers in Generations scale interests you or not, though (joking aside) the idea of getting Grimlock here hopes to suggest we'd be getting characters that were more prominant in the film, like Hot Rod, Galvatron, Cyclonus and others. Let us know what you hope this means.
If anyone is curious in finding this listing themselves, all you need to do is run Bluestacks on a PC, put Walmart app on it, and type UPC into price checker.
