Ok, lots to get through. Hasbro gave Londoners a huge treat by giving them a first look at the first wave of 2024 Studio Series toys and Legacy Commander Magmatron. We have compiled all the latest images of these toys, which includes the reveals, Legacy United toys on display, StudionSeries tous on display, along with more photos of WFC Starscream. A list of what you'll see is below and a list of links to the sources is at the end of the article.

Hasbro has just revealed a large portion of the first wave of 2024's Studio Series figures at the current London show. These include:
Core Rumble from the opening of the Bumblebee movie, even though he was never seen.
Core Mohawk from The Last Knight
Deluxe Wheeljack from Rise of the Beasts
Voyager SS86 Scrapheap
Voyager Gamerverse Starscream from War for Cybertron
Leader Megatron from the opening of the Bumblebee movie, even though he was never seen. He is a triple changer, as was rumoured, with both a ground and air mode.
With Studio Series Nightbird out now, fans can compare it to the previously released mainline Rise of the Beasts Nightbird toy. And we have images for you below. The Studio Series version is the smaller of the two, and the one with the larger backpack. However, it has a more accurate car mode, colours, headsculpt and chest. So it's give and take here, depending on your taste. But at least we have options, so let us know which of these two options you prefer for your collection.

We knew the Transformers One film was an origin story to the eventual conflict between Optimus and Megatron but we didn't know it would be an origin story to them actually being Transformers. Someone who attended the China Licensing Expo reported on seeing the teaser for Transformers One and posted it on Baidu. The translation is below and it may not be 100% accurate (for instance, the word 'dream' seems inacurate). And remember, this is just the words of one person who claims they were there.
“On the afternoon of the 16th, I attended the [China Licensing Expo]. I was fortunate to see some news about next year’s animated blockbuster movie, 'Transformers One'. The key highlight was the release of a teaser, which couldn’t be recorded on the spot. From memory, I sketched the appearances of the two main characters. However, please note that these sketches are based solely on my recollection, and the actual appearance might differ, so I recommend waiting for the teaser.
It seems that the details of the movie are still being kept under wraps. According to the people from [the expo], they only received the teaser yesterday. The plot is expected to revolve around the love, hate, and rivalry between Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Elita, as well as their journey to obtaining the Transformation Cog. Initially, they have a hollow space in their chests, as depicted in my drawings. After acquiring the Transformation Cog, their chest designs will change. In the middle to later stages, they gain the ability to transform, and their initial incomplete forms appear in various humorous and bizarre shapes. They can transform into vehicles like trucks, tanks, sports cars, and motorcycles.
Characters such as Shockwave, Soundwave, and Starscream are also introduced, but at that time, they are not yet enemies. Everything appears to be reminiscent of the beginning of a dream. The movie is produced by Industrial Light & Magic, the studio responsible for Transformers 1-5, so the quality should be good.
The overall character designs are more rounded compared to the previous posters, and it might take some getting used to for everyone. I’ve never seen character designs quite like these, so they are somewhat unique. For example, Alpha Trion (translation not clear) appears to be more elemental, like a mix of stone and vegetation, which is very different from the usual Cybertronian designs. Sentinel (translation not clear) is blue, and I don’t have a clear impression of other characters.”
Hasbro will soon be unveiling the first wave of 2024's Studio Series figures. There was a big question mark as to what the MV 6 Leader Megatron listing referred to. Was this a mistake for a SS 86 listing or was it referring to what Megatron would have looked like in the Bumblebee movie (MV 6). Well turns out it's the latter with our first image at this Megstron which looks like the CG model we saw used in some ROTB box art. This will be a leader class figure and leaders on the web have said this toy should be a triple changer of sorts with two cybertronian vehicle modes. The alt modes have not been leaked yet and the triple changing aspect is still just a rumour.
We know distribution can be unpredictable, but at least we now see that the US is getting the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line at brick and mortar retail, as well as online. We've had reports that the following have been found in Target stores across the US:
- Deluxe wave including SS-104 ROTB Nightbird and SS-105 ROTB Mirage
- Leader class Studio Series SS-106 ROTB Optimus Primal
- Voyager class Studio Series SS 86-23 Ratchet (who is packed with WFC Optimus Prime)
We have news that the Transformers Studio Series core class wave 7 has been found at US retail. Fellow Seibertronian kurthy found this at a Target in Coralville, Iowa. The wave consists of:
2x Bumblebee (Dark of the Moon)
2x Terrorcon Novokane
2x Frenzy (1986)
2x Noah Diaz Exo-suit
We got potentially bad news for fans. TF fan Jared contacted us to let us know that his order for Studio Series 102 voyager ROTB Optimus Prime has been cancelled. His friend's order was cancelled too. We don't know if this is an isolated incident or not, but we wanted to share it with you. Has this been happening to you? Let us know!
Thought it might be interesting to know that in addition to Hasbro Pulse cancelling orders recently for Legacy Nacelle, a friend and I both had our orders for Studio Series 102 Buzzworthy Optimus Prime cancelled by Target last night. We had placed preorders in June and had the orders delayed multiple times before getting cancelled outright. When I contacted Target support about it I was told it was due to limited inventory. If you hear from anyone else about it and can determine that it's a widespread issue, could be an interesting article.
During the course of Pulsecon, it was noted that Studio Series was once more absent from reveals. Thankfully, we will not have to wait long for more from the toyline. Thanks to Hasbro’s Ben MacCrae over on Instagram, we have news that the Studio Series line will be seeing some reveals next month.
He notes that they did want to do some reveals, but given the limited time, the Legacy reveals, and the Hall of Fame announcements left no time for those reveals. This is good news, as the first of the new wave just leaked out around the same time, so hopefully Hasbro gets to do some reveals before the leaks come out.
He also hints at other reveals to come in October as well, so stay tuned for additional reveals in addition to the next Studio Series wave.
We thank EvasionModeBumblebee for letting us know of the new images of MPM Dark of the Moon Ratchet. It has been officially revealed by Takara (even though these MPMs are Hasbro initiatives) and is available for preorder on Amazon Japan. Listings for Hasbro's release will be made available in time. This item is scheduled for release March 2024.
