There is a certain stage in life where you tell yourself you are done buying Transformers figures. You already have several Optimus Prime figures. Possibly an infinite number, considering how the benevolent leader has been a camera, a hat, and more. But then Hasbro drops another Studio Series wave, and suddenly you find yourself rolling back on your life decisions and calculating shelf space like it is a logistics exercise.
This time around, the new reveals pull from Age of Extinction, Rise of the Beasts, Transformers One, and even Armada. In other words, Hasbro is not targeting one era of fans. It is targeting all of them at once, which is kind of nice, until… well, more on that in the details below.
Transformers Studio Series Age of Extinction Deluxe Class Autobot Bumblebee
Yes, another Bumblebee. No, this is not a complaint.
I cannot remember how many Camaro Bumblebees there have been, but rest assured, this one isn’t a remold, retool, or redeco. This one appears to be a new design, but that does not mean it looks great. But I digress. Anyways, so yes, this version turns into the Age of Extinction Camaro in 34 steps. This means the transformation is pretty involved.
At 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) tall, it comes with movie-inspired detailing and a blaster accessory that completes the look of Bee in full “still carrying the franchise” mode. TBH, I am not loving the bot look. I mean, look at him. Bee hasn’t been skipping calf days!
The Transformers Studio Series Age of Extinction Deluxe Class Autobot Bumblebee is available for pre-order now for US$27.99, with shipping slated to begin on October 01, 2026.
Transformers Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Leader Class Decepticon Scourge
If the wave needed a menace entry, Scourge is clearly it. But no, you are not having déjà vu. There is indeed another Studio Series Scourge. This one is definitely not a new mold. It is considered, at best, a reissue or repackaging. It is supposed to be based on the villain’s onscreen appearance, but it is not. The shoulder pads and the head and neck region are the obvious signs that he is the same as Studio Series 101 Scourge from 2023.
Anyhoo, standing about 8.5 inches (21.6 cm) tall, this Leader Class version converts into his semi-truck alt mode in 31 steps and includes a blaster accessory. Yes, even the number of steps remains the same. It is good for collectors who missed this three years ago. Also, do not confuse this late-era Scourge with the G1 Scourge, which I like more.
The Transformers Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Leader Class Decepticon Scourge is available for pre-order now for US$59.99, with shipping expected around October 01, 2026.
Transformers Studio Series Transformers One Deluxe Class Thundercracker
Thundercracker arrives, representing the High Guard from Transformers One, with a jet mode conversion that takes 29 steps. Finally, something new, right?
At 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) tall and equipped with blaster accessories, this version finally gives the character a proper Studio Series treatment, as he was seen in Transformers One. Not surprisingly, he is essentially a recolor of Starscream with a different facial expression.
The Transformers Studio Series Transformers One Deluxe Class Thundercracker is available for pre-order now for US$27.99. Shipping is approximately July 01, 2026.
Transformers Studio Series Transformers One Deluxe Class Soundwave
And then there’s, of course, Soundwave. Standing 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) tall, the soon-to-be Megatron’s most trusted lieutenant appears as he was seen in Transformers One.
This Studio Series figure converts into hovercraft mode in 27 steps and includes a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher accessory. The so-called hovercraft mode is more like a Cybertronian spacecraft. It flies. Not hovers. Also, in alt mode, it looks like the concept art of Soundwave’s alt mode from the Bumblebee movie.
The Transformers Studio Series Transformers One Deluxe Class Soundwave is available for pre-order now for US$27.99, with shipping to happen around October 01, 2026.
Transformers Studio Series Age of Extinction Voyager Class Optimus Prime
There is always an Optimus Prime, ’cos there is always room for another Optimus Prime. This appears to be a slight retool of 2014’s Evasion Prime, now wearing a more screen-accurate color scheme, completed with the worn, faded flame deco.
This Voyager Class version stands approximately 6.75 inches (17.1 cm) tall and converts into truck mode in 27 steps. It includes a blaster accessory.
The Transformers Studio Series Age of Extinction Voyager Class Optimus Prime is available for pre-order now for US$42.99, with shipping expected around October 01, 2026.
Transformers Age of the Primes Commander Class Armada Jetfire
And then there is Jetfire, straight out of the Armada cartoon series (2002–2003).
This Commander Class figure stands around 8 inches (20.3 cm) tall, converts into space shuttle mode in 41 steps, and includes Mini-Con Astroscope, Skyblast, and Payload. Combine those three, and you get the Requiem Blaster.
Dear old space shuttle Jetfire here can be combined with Armada Optimus Prime (sold separately, of course) to form Jet Optimus.
The Transformers Age of the Primes Commander Class Armada Jetfire is available for pre-order for US$99.99, with shipping expected around November 01, 2026.
[UPDATE April 24, 2026, 11 PM PT]:
Pre-orders on Hasbropulse.com for Armada Jetfire are sold out, but it is still available to order on Amazon.com for the same price, with delivery starting October 01, 2026.
