You probabably noticed that yesterday's reveals did not seem numerous enough to fill a whole wave of Studio Series toys. Well that's because the wave will be made up mostly of repacks, and we now know their contents thanks to listings on Entertainment Earth. You'll notice that 86 Bumblebee and TF One Prime are not there and that's because they are in their own specific case that retailers can order all year round.

Really good news for the Transformers brand. While the upcoming animated film is trying different things with the Transformers lore (like the characters discovering Transformation), it is testing very well, better than even TMNT Mutant Mayhem, as it is said to be the best tested animated feature in the studio's history.
Word is that Paramount’s upcoming summer animated tentpole Transformers One is the best tested feature toon movie in the studio’s history and will surprise many.
In other fun news, Chris Hemsworth was at the panel and gave a shout out to Peter Cullen who he claims helped him figure out what best approach to use for voicing the character of Orion Pax. This news comes to us from John Campea, who was in attendance. His breakdown of the Transformers One content begins at the 13 minute mark though some fans may be triggered by his comments since he does use very vulgar language towards fans who refuse to accept anything but G1 in their Transformers media.
And here is a quick interview with Brian Tyler Henry and Chris Hemsworth:
JTPrime17 gave a wave breakdown of the non exclusive generations lines coming out next year. The year will start with a 5th wave of Legacy United, which includes rereleases of Cosmos and toys we thought were cancelled, like Sureshot. Which means the 13 Primes line will start exactly one year from now, in April, as part of the Q2 offerings.
Here is the wave breakdown for deluxes, voyagers and leaders. Please note that this is never final, as we saw this year.
Primes wave 1: April 2025
Deluxe Animated Wasp
Deluxe Slingshot
Deluxe Air Raid
Deluxe Solus Prime
Voyager Prima
Voyager Armada Red Alert
Leader G2 Grimlock
Leader The Fallen
Primes Wave 2: July 2025
Deluxe Crasher PR
Deluxe Alchemist Prime
Deluxe Swindle
Voyager RID Skybyte
Voyager Rescue Bots Heatwave
Leader Onyx Prime
We thank EvasionModeBumblebee for letting us know that JTPrime17 has jotted down the wave breakdown of the 2025 Studio Series line.
We knew these were coming, but now we see around when they should be coming out and what the wavemates are. For instance, we see that Hatchet will be in wave 1, and we see when we are getting rereleases of 86 Grimlock, TF7 Prime, 86 Perceptor and 86 Jazz.
With the images for Cybertron Starscream we now have images for all wave 2 figures of the 2024 Legacy line. You can see the breakdown below with images for each new figure.
These should be revealed soon as Hasbro has announced a live stream for every Thursday of March.
New Transformers Legacy toys were revealed today. Like what we've had for years now, Amazon has multipacks made up of redecos and retools. One of these, however, is a pretty big deal. Unlike Amazon's usual way of mixing different types of characters forcing people to buy multiple packs to complete sets (like the Kingdom two packs) the two hotly anticipated G1 Bandai insecticons, Chop Shop & Barrage, are in the same pack. It also comes with a redeco of Siege Smashdown.
The other multipack has Prime Breakdown using the Legacy Prime Bulkhead mold and the "previously thought to be cancelled" Windsweeper as a redeco of the Needlenose mold.
Here are the preorder links below from Amazon.com, which is the only place you can currently get these.
Thanks to JTPrime, we now know of new listings within the Legacy United line. While G2 Breakdown and Armada Wheeljack are new, all others are reteleases of sought after toys and figures which were moved, like Sureshot and core class BW Dinobot. Fans should be very happy about this.

Its Transformers Tuesday and Hasbro is giving us our first look at 3 releases. We have Legacy United leader Sandstorm, with a head based on the toy, and two prestige style releases. Those are Grimlock and Shockwave, using their most recent toys, in a comic accurate deco. Shockwave comes with a new Optimus head accessory.
Here are the photos followed by the description from comicbook.com
Hasbro has unveiled new Transformers figures inspired by the original comic book series, and you're seeing them first here at ComicBook.com! The first Transformers comic was produced by Marvel between 1984 and 1991, and these new Shockwave and Grimlock figures come straight out of its pages. The year 1984 was certainly special for Transformers fans, which is why you'll see 40th anniversary branding on the box along with iconic cover art from Transformers #5 Shockwave "Are All Dead" and Transformers #8 "And Now The Dinobots!" issues.
Inside the boxes you'll find figures with comic book-style deco and plenty of accessories. A full breakdown of both figures can be found below. Pre-order details have not been revealed at the time of writing, but they will hit store shelves in the Summer of 2024. This article will be updated with direct pre-order links when they become available. Stay tuned.
TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMIC EDITION SHOCKWAVE ($39.99): "Ruled by logic, if it is more logical for Shockwave to override Megatron and seize command of the Decepticons, he will take that chance. Inspired by the original The TRANSFORMERS comic book series, this 7-inch Shockwave action figure converts from robot to Cybertronian spaceship mode in 15 steps. With comic-accurate deco and black line hatching details, Shockwave looks like it came out of a comic book, celebrating 40 years since TRANSFORMERS robots made their comic debut in 1984. Features articulated heads, arms, and legs for action poses and comes with the head of Optimus Prime piece that can be placed on the included display stand (display stand assembly required)."
TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COMIC EDITION GRIMLOCK ($59.99) "Grimlock leads a team of powerful Dinobots and fights on impulse, making him one of the strongest – and most unpredictable – Autobots. Inspired by the original The TRANSFORMERS comic book series, this 8.5-inch Grimlock action figure converts from robot to T.rex mode in 22 steps. With comic-accurate deco and black line hatching details, Grimlock looks like it came out of a comic book, celebrating 40 years since TRANSFORMERS robots made their comic debut in 1984. Feature articulated heads, arms, and legs for action poses and comes with 3 swords, double-barreled blaster and a crown accessory that can sit on the figure's head."
We had shared images previously of the upcoming warrior class figures from Transformers Earthspark and in there we could see that both Twitch and Bumblebee had these black prongs that hinted at a combining gimmick. Well there are more images now on Amazon and they show us exactly what we get out of that. It's, well, you'll see. Below you will see all the images of these two upcoming toys along with the combining description from Hasbro. They are in the 5th wave of warrior class figures. If you are wondering, the 2nd wave was the one with Thrash, the 3rd wave had Jawbreaker and the 4th wave had the Cyberverse shockwave redeco. It's being found in target stores now. A full breakdown of waves 4 and 5 can also be found below.
