Fresh from JTPrime, we have Studio Series listings from 2026 and some of 2027! A couple notes he mentions first:

-No AOTP Titan in 2026. That's because Studio Series is getting its first Titan instead. AOTP will have 2 Commanders instead.
-Comics is being introduced to Studio Series in 2027.

Hasbro has been slow to reveal some new Transformers toys, probably due to domestic market uncertainties linked to preorders, which is the current rumour. It’s status quo for Takara, on the other hand, so they are revealing the following Studio Series figures and have them up for preorder in Japan:
TFOne Elita 1
TFOne Starscream
SS86 Megatron
SS86 Mixmaster
SS86 Scavenger

There is also a Takara exclusive Thundercracker and Reflector set

Wheeljack and Windcharger comprise the two dead horsemen of the apocalypse for Studio '86. When that's the part of the barrel being scraped, it's time to wrap it up.

Sunstreaker and Wheeljack? If these are the versions from that five pack with the extra guns, then I won't feel bad missing that set. Just have to pray for a solo Hound then.

I know next year is a SS86 heavy year for an anniversary, but I still feel so disappointed that we STILL lack a 2nd SS Dinobot!

I am excited for the live action bots coming, along with the One bots.

Wheeljack and Windcharger make me think we will get a 3rd target corpse pack next year, which I would get.

I wonder who the titan would be. I REALLY want it to be the DotM Driller, but realistically, it will probably be something like the Autobot shuttle or Unicron cruiser given a robot mode.

One Starscream looks pretty good.
Elita looks great.

I'd totally go for that Dramatic Capture set if I did not already own Thundercracker.

Devastator still does nothing for me.

Not interested in a Dead Wheeljack really.

But ion anyone knows where to getting replacement windshield sections for Siege Jackie I'm here.

JT thinks the Titan is most likely ROTB Stratosphere, but we don't know for sure yet. I'd love a Driller too!

Here's what I'm in for from this new leaked list:

-Cyclonus (this is still one of the best molds ever)
-Anniversary Megs (assuming it's a reformatting version)

A couple 'maybe's':
-Comics Soundwave (appearance will be the factor, because I'm guessing this is going to be the last use of the Netflix mold, and for me that will be annoying)
-The SS Titan (obviously depending on who it is and how it looks. But based on the cost alone, this is going to have to be impressive)

A "Slp mode" Optimus... Meaning "sleep" aka a grayed-out dead version? Seems like such a waste of a release of that mold... I get it, it'll be the 40th anniversary. But if this is the deco, what's the point?? Even if it's done well and looks good, who's going to spend $60 for that? What I have listed above looks like next to nothing, but I just added to my 'want' and 'maybe' lists. Including what we already knew of and the new listings for AotP, for me, I'll be spending quite a bit next year; a dead Prime doesn't even come close to making my 'maybe' list.
It's also unfortunate for people who thought this release would be the regular figure just without the trailer.

How does Fort Max work out as a Leader Class? Nothing on that list sounds appealing to me, will have to wait to see visuals on some to decide what they are.

I'm intrigued by the Reflector repaint, looks pretty neat. Also might have to get that TF One Elita One!

Fort Max isn't a giant in most comics, and it's probably going to be the IDW1 version who turns into a tank.

I think there is coolness in this Reflector but I'm happy with Scrapface leading the other 2 members forming MY Refractor.

The only thing on my mind is will :TAKARATOMY:

touch this Megatron soon or not? Cuz if not I'll pick Megatron up but if :TAKARATOMY:

does do something I'll become most :BANG_HEAD:

having picked up this release. :VEHI:

SS86 Megs is just perfect.

And that TF1 Screamers look solid.

As much as I like and desperately hope the Fort Max will be the IDW version, it will more than likely end up being a Marvel Fort Max, which no complaints there for me so long as Scorponok gets the same treatment

The thing that leads me to doubt it's Marvel Fort Max is that Hasbro is ending the Core class range, so there would be no new small toys on the shelves to interact with Fort Max's battle station altmode as a playset. And with Fort being a Leader, the battle station would already be pretty small, making Core class the only range that could possibly interact with it, so with the end of Core class, there's not much playability in an undersized battle station with no small figures to play with it. In that sense, the IDW1 tank makes more sense for playability value since it wouldn't require the kind of playset interactivity that a battle station would.

I just really paused and looked; that Elita One actually looks really solid.

I'm also going to be very interested to see SS86 Skywarp and Thundercracker...
If Skywarp has a gray face instead of metallic silver, that alone may be enough for me to get it. Assuming the rest of the deco is on point as well. I'm all in for the new Dramatic Capture set and most likely will be keeping that Thundercracker as long as the main blue color is good.

Fort Max should be cool, but I have more than enough to buy so that's a pass for me.

Posted by o.supreme on June 5th, 2025 @ 11:28am CDT

I know fans gave been wanting a smaller "Comic Accurate" Fort Max and Scorponok for a while. Seeing as we already have the Animation accurate Titan figures, that is fine. But why is it being released as "Studio Series" when this is based on print media? Seems like the term has been watered down, and now has lost all meaning. They should just call the line "Generations" and drop all sub labeling (AoP, SS, whatever).

Which brings me to my next point. We are getting "SS Titan" which is great, but there's nothing from the live-action films that really would qualify as a Titan. I mean I don't think they would release RotB Unicron as such, but who knows. If we expand to games, I know fans have been wanting a WFC type Trypticon or Omega Supreme, but considering they just re-released Siege Omega for like the 3rd time, and TR (updated for AoP) Trypticon, I doubt it. T30 Metroplex was basically already FoC inspired, and fans would want a more OG accurate Metroplex if they were going that route.

I guess I could always fall back on my insane wish for Majin Zarak. After all he did appear in an animated film released theatrically in Japan, also it would be the first of a kind "Beast-Era" Titan to boot. But alas, it will probably be something more non-sensical that really isn't "studio series".

I have a feeling that the Studio Series Titan is going to be Unicron.

It will have been 5+ years since the Haslab. It'll be an anniversary year for the 86 movie. Lastly, they did something similar with Marvel Legends. Sentinel was a Haslab, but they have gone about doing a smaller, more screen accurate Sentinel that is made to order. I think it's crazy to think that just because there was a Haslab, the character will never get another market release.

But remember, beginning wih Star Optimus Prime, Titans are going to be smaller and (theoretically) less expensive, now. So whatever it is (JTPrime speculates it might be ROTB Stratosphere) it may be large but not as gigantic as previous Titans.

I guess I always envisioned Stratosphere or (less likely) DotM Devcon as CC. But I guess with Star Convoy setting the precedent, a $150.00 "Small Titan" Stratosphere may be a way to go.

I think this is the winner. Other possibilities I haven't seen brought up yet are Gamer Edition Omega Supreme and/or other WFC figures. We've already gotten a handful.

I actually mentioned WFC Omega & Trypticon in my first post after the list had been published:

Just my 2 cents, but game versions of those characters would be pretty awesome, even if not likely.

I agree with your reasoning, however, Unicron done decently, letalone well, includes a ton of transformation engineering... Not to mention it really should come with a stand for the planet mode. Just not sure even a Titan class budget would be enough to make this possible.
Although here's a crazy idea (some people will scoff at):
Make the robot mode fold-up into a relatively cube-ish mass. The head could maybe stick-out so the horns could be used for the planet mode. Either that or detachable horns. The planet would be made from the sphere being divided into 4 semi-spherical panels which when combined surround the folded-up bot; each one would have at least a few pegs that plug into various parts of the bot mode. Then of course the wings from bot mode would peg/port together as well as plug into 4? ports on the planet panels.
So major parts-forming, and Unicron would be smaller than the average Titan figure. But without some configuration like this, I don't know how this is possible without making the alt mode some random spaceship. And with something like a random alt mode, the bot is still going to be compromised and then somewhere the appearance suffers.

I'm one of the many people who never got the Haslab figure... I'd love to have a good Unicron, and imo, the planet mode is really important to this character.

Re: New Transformers Studio Series Listings Include TLK Hound and Megatron and Comic Fort Max (2191331)
Posted by Sabrblade on June 5th, 2025 @ 12:13pm CDT

It should probably be pointed out that the Titan isn't specified to be "Studio Series 86", just "Studio Series", so there's no reason to automatically assume it's going to be TFTM-specific. JTPrime suspects it might be ROTB Stratosphere.

And we know Titans are going to be made smaller and less expensive than before, so a smaller Unicron about the size of his original Armada toy (which is about the height that Star Optimus Prime is) isn't going to be as impressive as a 2-foot-tall one like the old Titan size.

Okay then. Please, kindly explain to me what is confusing you about the notion of "Marvel Fortress Maximus"?

I take it you are familiar with the Marvel Transformers comics from the 1980s, yes? Fortress Maximus was a character in those, but unlike his cartoon depictions, he wasn't a giant city-sized dude. He was just a big dude more sized to around the height of Powermaster Optimus Prime's super robot mode.

Outside of the Driller though, titan Stratosphere is a nice fit to me.

I have to disagree about Straosphere. Respectfully of course.
While this character's size definitely aligns with this larger class scale, even at a lowered price of $150, this character just isn't well-known or popular enough. That's not shade, and I'm not suggesting it couldn't or shouldn't be a character from one of the live-action movies. Since Titans aren't going to be repainted or retooled into other characters, they have to bring-in profit with the initial release. Seems to me that the Titans that were re-leased have in-fact been backed by demand.

But who knows... It will be very interesting to see what happens.

I hope that it is Stratosphere, it'll save me Money by skipping it.

I might actually consider that Leader Fort Max, image posted looked pretty cool. After all with only two known actual buys for next year I should have the extra funds to purchase an outlier or two. Of course that depends on what other unknowns exist that aren't rumored. And unless there's a new Octane, Astrotrain or Powerglide it doesn't look like I'll be getting much more than a handful of about 2-4 figures.

I guess I could have crystalized my comment with the word Who. #-o

But it was just simply me not knowing but hell you Sabrblade have given me a brief educating on Fortress Maximus outside of being city size or his IDW counterpart. I got zero knowlege of the books from the 80s sooooo the title Marvel Fortress Maximus seemed like something new to me. My TF knowlege runs very thin over the majority under this roof without a doubt but I ain't gonna lose sleep over that...thanks again! ;)^

I take it you are familiar with the Marvel Transformers comics from the 1980s, yes? Fortress Maximus was a character in those, but unlike his cartoon depictions, he wasn't a giant city-sized dude. He was just a big dude more sized to around the height of Powermaster Optimus Prime's super robot mode.

I guess I could have crystalized my comment with the word Who.

But it was just simply me not knowing but hell you Sabrblade have given me a brief educating on Fortress Maximus outside of being city size or his IDW counterpart. I got zero knowlege of the books from the 80s sooooo the title Marvel Fortress Maximus seemed like something new to me. My TF knowlege runs very thin over the majority under this roof without a doubt but I ain't gonna lose sleep over that...thanks again!

Fortress Maximus (G1)

Considering the disappointment of the haslab, I would welcome a regular release titan.

Outside of the Driller though, titan Stratosphere is a nice fit to me.

I have to say, I don't find anything disappointing about Haslab Unicron. The people I know who got him are certainly glad they did so.

AS a proud owner of that bad boy, I second this. Great figure
Likewise:

I know there are people who are glad they did, i know you guys love it.

I was just referring to how it is so huge as it is almost unmanageable, transformation is actual torture, and realistically he can't really do much; in my opinion. I don't regret passing.

I hope they try again on a simpler scale. get rid of some/simplify some panels, actually have some of the planet show up in robot mode, and preferably give him longer toes and bigger hands.

I see you haven't experienced Studio 01 Cell. I have both and while HasLab Unicron's transformation is still a workout, compared to Cell's nightmarish transformation, it's a walk in the park.

I got the Studio 01 Primus and it's the only figure I 100% regret purchasing. The transformation is shamefully fiddly.

Oof, I haven't gotten that figure due to how much I dislike transforming Cell, but if the two are comparable, I feel for ya, man.

Having thought about accessories a little bit for our upcoming SS Leaders, I think we could totally get Sqweeks packed in with Hound and Quintessa with TLK Megatron!

That's part of why it's amazing. It is brazenly impractical and I love it for that.

I was thinking that with Soundwave getting a new SS"86" toy next year, he will probably be packed with Laserbeak, then that leaves only Ravage & Eject. Since they are not doing individual Core Class releases anymore, I could see them maybe bundling these 2 together as a "deluxe" release (To re enact these scene where Eject rolls up on poor Ravage and shoots the kitty). Normally I'd say they would be packaged with another toy (i.e Percepter with Ramhorn and Ratbat) but Blaster already came with Rewind, and there's not any other bots in the scenes with them. I thought gang molding might be an issue as well, but as we've seen, we already got a SS Ratbat without Ravage from the previous Siege mold (unless they DID Manufacture Ravage at the same time and are just holding him back for another release) :-?

I haven't had any interest in the studio primus or unicron, I've heard those complaints myself, no interest.

live action bots being complex is one thing, I expect and enjoy that part of them. More cartoon-esque figures, it doesn't hit the same.

Either way, someday, I would not mind another chance at Unicron. Like one of you said earlier in the thread, the MTO $200 Sentinel packs compared to the $350 Haslab would be a nice comparison.

From today's live stream, we're getting a Revenge of the Fallen Decepticon 3 pack of The Fallen, Megatron and Soundwave. Megatron is particularly interesting, he has purple highlights reminiscent of Megatron: Dark Energon Edition or Nightmare Megatron.

Preorders open today.

Those big boxes of reissues are not a big deal for those who already have everything, but they are great for any new fans, or those who missed out on the original releases. :APPLAUSE:

The Megatron doesn’t have purple markings, it’s a reissue of ROTF Battle Damaged Megatron. Only change appears to be that it’s missing the gunmetal smears on the head sculpt.

EDIT: Oh, I see what it was! The purple on Mark's shirt in that pic does make it look like he has some purple deco. Renders of the set do show it's just a slightly altered battle damaged Megs though

I don’t have that Battle Damaged Megatron yet, I think I’d pick the set up for him if it goes on sale since I already have Fallen and Soundwave.
