The Transformers Studio Series is expanding with four new figures announced across two waves, with the MTMTE Collection figures shipping in late December 2026 and the movie-inspired Scourge and Blitzwing shipping in late January 2027.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 11h ago

Takara Tomy has been steadily growing the Transformers Studio Series with two separate announcements in mid-2026. The first wave, revealed in July, added TS-37 Starscream and TS-38 Prowl under the MTMTE Collection banner. Both are fully transformable figures based on the 1986 animated film, and pre-orders opened on July 8, 2026, with a release set for late December 2026.

The second wave, announced in August, introduced TS-39 Scourge and TS-40 Blitzwing. Scourge, from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, transforms into a lumber truck and includes a weapon. Blitzwing is a triple-changer with tank and jet modes, plus gun, sword, and big-hand weapon parts. Both figures are priced at 9,900 yen and ship in late January 2027.

Across the two announcements, the Studio Series continues to draw from both the live-action films and the animated movie, offering collectors a mix of updated designs and movie-specific characters. The pricing and release windows for the two waves are distinct, with the MTMTE Collection figures shipping about a month before the Rise of the Beasts and triple-changer figures.
