Takara Tomy Teases Upcoming Studio Series Figures Including 86 Megatron

Kinda bummed there’s no Widowmaker since that’s the only one I’m interested in, but hopefully we see her soon! The leaks so far look great, I think it’s super cool they went with the orange McLaren from AOE as the alt mode!

Trukk not tanky


I'd be more happy with a megatron that turns into a monkey. But ever since monkeys have been mishandled by human kind and the king of pop, children can no longer enjoy the pleasures that 80s kids once knew. You can't just put an orange safety cap on a monkey and call it socially acceptable.

I'm definitely happy with how Megatron looks, at least from what can be seen in that image. Does anyone think images of the whole figure will get leaked before June 10th?

And since there's not a really thread for it, I'm also pretty excited for the new Dramatic Capture set! With having the Triple Takevoer set and seeing how good Starscream is, I'll probably end up keeping Thundercracker, but the highlight for me is Reflector... And knowing it will be the most show-accurate decos makes this an instant buy for me. Also nice that it shouldn't be over $100.

We have pictures of Studio Series Concept Art Widowmaker! (Reportedly going by KSI Widow on the packaging due to copyright)

For those unfamiliar, Widowmaker is a concept character from Age of Extinction who eventually became Stinger by the time of the final film. She has an extensive amount of concept art, some of which varies pretty significantly. There is one key difference with this figure compared to the concept art and that is the alt mode: rather than use the Pagani Huayra, Widowmaker turns into a licensed orange McLaren. This vehicle actually appears with some of the other KSI vehicles in AOE, though its robot mode is not seen on-screen.

Despite the alt mode change, Widowmaker still sports similar kibble management to one of her concept art designs, with the headlights on the shoulders and the alt mode doors trailing behind them.




The figure is largely based off this piece of concept art, particularly with the headlight shoulders, blades on the forearms, and leg detailing:



While the head sculpt is more reminiscent of this artwork:

The toy of Widow is passable. However, that concept art requires some Blokee, Yolopark, or 3-0 models to be made of her.

Widow is a beauty, I am thrilled with how she turned out!

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.
-Leader Hound, Swoop, Slp Prime, Fort Max and Soundwave are super early 2027 listings.

Well, now I'm compelled to wait before getting the normal SS86 Megatron until after we see what the exclusive Anniversary version looks like.

Additional reply here to take count of things, our 2026 Bayverse lineup is now:

- Deluxe AOE Bumblebee

AoE Hound will be a leader.
F YEAH!

That old oversized K.O will finally be irrelevant.

Well son of a b!tch, Hastak really may have me reeled-in to 2027…
First and mainly, for SS86 Soundwave…. Why in the world he isn’t part of the line-up for 2026 is baffling.
But also, if one of the CC figures for AotP is Hot Spot, assuming there would be 1-2 Protectobots in ‘27, that would also keep me in the game. I’m ready to ditch the CW set. I’m hoping for a new set of Predacons and a Predaking, but after getting Menasor, Devastator, and Bruticus, I’m assuming they want to get another Autobot combiner released.

SS86 Blitzwing seems really pointless. I’ll be almost shocked if somehow that’s better than the Triple Takeover version.
I love that Cyclonus mold so much, if the SS86 figure has a more movie accurate deco, I’ll get it and still keep my Kingdom version.
I’m also most likely in for a Comics version of Soundwave, although it’s going to bug me that it’s probably the one last use of the Netflix mold…. Which helps explain why the new SS86 figure isn’t being released until ‘27. I guess the comics version is going to be a ‘maybe’.

Lastly, I’m betting that the Selects Anniversary Megatron is a reformatting version. And yes, I will get that for sure.

Definitely some additional figures to look forward to, but I’m really not happy about putting off my collecting retirement.

Thanks for sharing this news, EMBee.

You're welcome! These are just the new listings too, we are getting a leader 86 Soundwave in 2026 that was part of the first batch of listings.

Edit: also had to make this xD

Okay see these additional listings make a way more sensical-looking 2026, going by product numbers:The double Thundercracker wave persists
Still nothing to personally interest me in 2025...but if COMIC FORT MAX is the IDW design he's MINE.

EDIT: Wait, no, Leaders are only 2 to a case, either TLK Megs is also supposed to be 2027 or that's too many Leaders!

What?

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
You can check out all the images below

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX 86 WHEELJACK
Product Number: G2198

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!

Till-all-R1 wrote:How does Fort Max work out as a Leader Class?

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 touch this Megatron soon or not? Cuz if not I'll pick Megatron up but if does do something I'll become most having picked up this release.

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

D-Maximal_Primal wrote: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.

Whoa guys pardon my ignorance....Marvel Fort Max???

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.

Nemesis Destron wrote:Whoa guys pardon my ignorance....Marvel Fort Max???

You'll have to be more specific about what you're asking about for us to answer.

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.

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.

No coyness here but I don't get it making me confused but no matter!

Nemesis Destron wrote:No coyness here but I don't get it making me confused but no matter!

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.

If Hasbro ever makes a planet style Unicron at retail again they better double security at HQ, people will riot.

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 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 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
