New Mold SS86 Astrotrain Revealed along with Kranix, Soundwave, Repainted Shockwave and More

It's Toy Fair weekend and right away, before the show even opens, Hasbro comes out the gate with some huge Studio Series 86 reveals for 2026 wave 2! Starting right off we now know that the design team lied when they said SS86 Astrotrain would likely be a Siege Astrotrain repaint. They knew. The new Leader Astrotrain features a more cartoon accurate train mode, a more complete (too put it nicely) shuttle mode and a very mistransformed bot mode.

Then we have Studio Series Kranix just waiting to be eaten by your Sharkticons! Can you believe this is technically his fourth figure? He got two releases included with Unicron repaints and the previous Quintesson Pit of Judgement. This time we get one that's the closest we've gotten to cartoon accurate with the ability to transform. The alt mode is based directly on the Marvel Comics character profile and would probably look decent in a vintage G1 collection as blocky as it is. Should we call this Missing Link Kranix instead?

The rest of the reveals are repaints and repacks. We're getting Skywarp from the Thundercracker mold looking exactly as expected, Voyager Shockwave from the Leader Siege Shockwave mold who appears to be slightly retooled to tab onto Age of the Primes Bruticus' shoulder for some brand synergy, and Sunsteaker and Wheeljack carrying over from the Autobot five pack like Hound will be. Plus, Dinobot Snarl is getting a straight package refresh.

Images come via TFW2005. Are you excited about Astrotrain, Kranix and the others in this wave? Let us know what you're thinking in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!

Will this be the Astrotrain that finally gets it right? AFAIC his toys rival Ironhide's for number of botched attempts.

And transforming Kranix based on a comic-only design might just be the pointy foot in the door that leads to SS figures based on unused concepts! Well, Missing Link Arcee certainly budged it a bit too.

And if this gets retooled over and over to the point of producing female Lithonians, that would mean Nancy and other female Junkions down the road!

Glad to see we got a brand new Astrotrain instead of a reissue of the Siege POS. Will that mean a brand new Blitzwing as well? I was going to pass on Kranix, but the more I see him the more I like him. Hopefully we get a new Rodimus as well, instead of a repainted and repacked Kingdom figure.

I dig these but I'm surprised Sunstreaker doesn't come with a blaster. Here's the thing, in some episodes of the toon he had a gun that looks like the one Devastation Wheeljack comes with. Synergy?
