Hasbro has revealed lots of new toys today, below you will see the ones released in the Studio Series lin along with a quote from Hasbro detailing what will happen tomorrow in a video.

The Transformers Studio Series is leveling up! Six incredible figures are launching for pre-order tomorrow at 1:00pm ET on HasbroPulse, each bringing unique energy from Transformers’ epic lore to your collection. Here's the lineup:
- Leader Class Optimus Prime (Transformers: Age of Extinction)
- Leader Class Shockwave (Transformers: Dark of the Moon)
- Voyager Class Ironhide (Transformers: War for Cybertron)
- Deluxe Class Wheeljack (Que) (Transformers: Dark of the Moon)
- Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz (Transformers: The Transformers: The Movie, 1986)
- Deluxe Class Optimus Prime (Transformers: Devastation)
This wave combines nostalgia and modern innovation, from the gamer-inspired detailing of Ironhide to the cinematic accuracy of Shockwave and Wheeljack. Each figure boasts incredible articulation, accessories, and iconic transformations.
Don't miss the Transformers Product Showcase video dropping tomorrow on Hasbro Pulse's YouTube channel at 1:00pm ET! Nate and Evan dive deep into what makes these figures must-haves for any collector.

For those wondering, there is nothing new about the rereleased figures aside from the box. They are simply a chance for new collectors/fans to get older releases.

Que is long overdue! :DANCE:

It will be great to finally complete the DOTM Autobots.

Ironhide is also a must for the WFC roster. 2025 is off to a nice start!

This might be the first time I say this, they are all passes to me. Aoe Prime looks like he lacking paint. Devestation prime truck mode looks bad. Que looks like a kibble monster. I don't want another Shockwave. I didn't like gamer ratchet so I for sure won't like his repaint. Idk. Maybe I've hit the age where I'm done.

We’ll have to see, but I think AOE Prime’s shield can open up like it does in the movie! Note the seam running down the middle:

Man what is happening to the Studio Series? When I read the title initial reaction was yes all of them please....then the pics. Easy pass on all of these and DOTM Q definitely still needs a little more cooking yeesh.

I'm underwhelmed by the new releases. If Devastation Prime was a Voyager, I might get him. But I guess that would have been too close competition with the 86 Commander.

I might pick up Jazz and even Shockwave. He was severely mistreated as a character in the movie, but I love how he looks in robot mode.

Jazz I don't understand at all, the original release is still available on BBTS and I don't recall ever hearing anyone say they couldn't find him.

I'd rather they reissues Thrust that was a Target Exclusive, granted that's Voyager slot not Deluxe..
But whatever, a total pass on everything they revealed today for me.

Preordered Que and AOE Prime!

They released some videos and AOE Prime looks even better than the pics yesterday! You can fold down the kibble flap behind his head in robot mode. The shield does open, but not quite in the way I thought it did - it opens to reveal the gun barrel, which is super cool!

The listings also say he includes an unmasked head, which we haven’t seen yet.

Nice! I wish more movie Primes had the unmasked head, I think this is the first instance so far in Studio Series. There supposedly was a variant of SS-05 without the mask, but it was only reported once, so it was probably a missasembly like that one Kingdom Megatron with the snarling face.

The listings for him say he includes an additional unmasked head sculpt. I’m a little skeptical since we didn’t see it in the video, but at the very least it would seem they have the sculpt to use on a Nemesis Prime version or something!

So many interesting things here

Kind of want the Last Knight Prime. never got any of the Primes from Last Knight and AOE so this fills that void. Also means a new Last Knight Megs Jet may not be far behind. Not gonna lie, the original voyager is fantastic , but I would like to see what they do with the design. Maybe hide the toes better.
Ironhide calls to me.
Que is a pass.
Shockwave.... always around when I can't get you, we'll need to see how much budget we have left after everything else I want is pre-ordered.
Still not feeling devastation Prime, maybe if he goes on Sale at point.
So glad Jazz gets a PR. I'm definitely picking him up.

Worth noting that the description only explicitly mentions one sword, this may be a case of something that was planned but cut making it to the description like Earthrise Sky Lynx's Micromaster and the alt head was scrapped in favor of the second sword.

The alleged alt head is also conspicuously absent from all the pics in his Pulse listing, including the back of the box.

So it's probably the listing that's wrong. Bummer. The wait for a faceplate-less Prime continues.

It was also pointed out in the video that this AOE Optimus is specifically AOE Optimus pre-forearms-upgrade, as he appears in most of that movie from the time he first scans his new altmode to right before he pulls out the sword and his arms change. But despite that, they still wanted to include the sword as an accessory anyway.

Theoretically, this would give them a reason to do a retool of this mold with his arms altered to match the upgrade he gets in the movie, which could be sold as a TLK Optimus since I think he still had that same arm upgrade in that movie.

I didn't get to watch the video when it premiered so after seeing this I had to go back and rewatch it - they DO talk about the Pre and Post-Knight forearms! That has me super excited because after the TLK Voyager I just assumed they didn't know the difference. That gives me so much more faith in the team and we are DEFINITELY getting a new version - My money's on Nemesis Prime, gives them an opportunity to use an unmasked head sculpt and swap the Energon blade for either the Quadbarrel Shotgun or wrist blade he uses in TLK.

Bizarrely, it wasn't a livestream event. Yesterday's Instagram announcements said it would go live today at 1pm, and I was waiting and looking around Hasbro Pulse's YouTube channel both right before and right at 1pm, and the video wasn't anywhere to be found until a few minutes after 1pm, where it was uploaded as a normal pre-recording instead.

On a similar note, I've gotten my third email like that for Armada Wheeljack today. All 3 emails said expected ship date of Jan 3rd, and I received one in December, one on Jan 3rd and one today.

Something definitely screwy with their automated emails.

I'm passing on all the reveals in this lot. There's nothing that I wanted among the whole selection. The new items are all Bayverse stuff that I don't like, or re-issues of figures I already have and don't need to re-buy.

Looks like I'll be saving money and shelf space for a while

After more than 2 years since our last non-core Bayverse additions to the line, we're making progress on our remaining Bay characters and designs for SS!

Hopefully in 2026 and beyond we keep this momentum up!

Man, I want to see those last three 2007 bots once and for all. But with them releasing less and less bayverse and there clearly having been another budget cut, I just don't see it happening anymore. Specially for poor Dispensor, given his "unmarketable" altmode and the cancellation of core class. A commander class Demolishor would be nice too, but I doubt they'll do it when Scavenger is right there to repaint.

I'm surprised by how much I am liking the look of Wheeljack and Optimus Prime, two designs I never had much interest in. Specially Prime, despite his subpar paint.

There's probably a bunch of people who want him, mundane alt modes can be very appealing and unique, plus there aren't many soda dispenser transformers. And the can shooting gag from the movie was pretty funny. There was also that flash game with a protagonist identical to him...

First off, I am so very happy to see Que and Prime. Prime looks really good! I cannot wait to handle that one. and Que at long last my beloved!

My heart is very happy.

In other news, I received and have been enjoying the RotB Nemesis Prime. I like this mold a lot more in black.

He and Bee movie nemesis stand nicely together on the shelf too

also, I still think they did a good job with Sunstreaker, the only concept series SS I really like so far

We have an in-hand pic of Transformers SS AOE Prime! This give us an idea of the unpainted plastic in more natural light. Also, you'll notice that his silhouette is not encumbered by kibble in his back. That's because the truck cab kibble has the possibility of folding back even further, as you can see in the images below. While it looks bad from the sides, it makes it look much cleaner in the front, which is something none of the previous renditions of this character could accomplish. The phot has been shared on various social media platforms, like Instagram and Facebook.

"While it looks bad from the sides, it makes it look much cleaner in the front, which is something none of the previous renditions of this character could accomplish."

So the figure will look bad from most sides? This makes it an easy pass then.

He's talking about if you intentionally transform it wrong to clean up the silhouette from the front by folding down the kibble behind his head.

A ton of in-hand images are in for SS AOE Prime! Here’s some of the highlights:

- He’s scaled to SS AOE Galvatron, so a little shorter than him and just barely taller than SS-32/44 Optimus

- The truck bed actually looks really good! Probably the best truck bed for a Studio Series truck mode, , (though that’s not exactly a high bar to clear)

- the back kibble is removable! Honestly I don’t think I’ll display him like that since I think they handled the kibble really well, but it’s cool that it’s an option!

So, in order to look accurate to the movie needs to partsform, like the Takara leader remold.
If the TLK one didn't had a pin or a screw I don't remember right now, would be the same.
Well, time to wait for the reviews before I truly decide but knowing me, I probably will get it anyway

He is smaller to keep with Studio Series scale, but the engineering, articulation, and accessories are all massive improvements over the TLK Voyager IMO. I think it earned the leader class scale!

Found Shadow Raider not too long ago, it's a pretty fun figure! The right forearm snapped on the first transformation, though. I'm generally not one for redos in Studio Series, but the fragility issues with Lockdown do make me want to see a new one. Either way, I painted Shadow Raider up!

Honestly I am impressed at how AoE Prime's backpack has been handled. A lot less "cheaty" than I expected, and I think it's quite worth the engineering budget since I really enjoy the robot mode proportions compared to other AoE Prime figures.

He is smaller to keep with Studio Series scale, but the engineering, articulation, and accessories are all massive improvements over the TLK Voyager IMO. I think it earned the leader class scale!

And this is why hasbro is able to get away with this.

To charge a leader class price for this is INSANE. There is not a full deluxe figures worth of extra “engineering” in this, a figure that has a “we gave up, so we just made the backpack removable”. And even the paint is terribly disappointing. I mean.. it’s crazy that not only is this acceptable, but that there are people who are justifying and defending it.

This is exactly how hasbro’s ceo is able to rake in $15 MILLION in total compensation for one year. And people will gladly justify it. This is why I can’t bring myself to collect transformers anymore. Stuff like this, to me, is just blatant greed. I can’t justify paying $20 more for something to aid in someone making more money in one year than the average person would in 200+ YEARS. And I know you can say that about most CEO’s. But to me, this is just so blatant it’s indefensible. It screams that they’re just trying to specifically take advantage of the die hard fans.

Hasbro will continue their level A offerings in 2025, where retailers can order a bunch more Optimus Primes or Bumblebees if need be. The Optimus Prime figure available to them in 2025 will be Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Optimus Prime from the Devastation game. Fans had a lukewarm reception to this reveal but now we have a video review which can further help you see if this is a figure you'd add to your collection or not. You can check it out below.

This figure has been popping up in Asia (specifically Indonesia) so it is already in the process of being distributed worldwide.
