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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Who?

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!

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

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.
