This exclusive unveiling by thescreescore.com showcases a thrilling expansion across two beloved lines: the lore-rich Age of the Primes and the film-accurate Studio Series. The announcement, perfectly timed with the buzz surrounding potential new cinematic ventures for the franchise, promises a blend of deep-cut mythology and nostalgic callbacks to the original live-action blockbuster.
Hasbro’s ambitious 2027 lineup will see four new figures joining the Transformers: Age of the Primes collection in Spring, alongside three meticulously re-engineered Studio Series releases inspired by the iconic 2007 Transformers film.

Each promises notable improvements over their nearly two-decade-old predecessors.

The Age of the Primes collection, known for delving into the expansive mythology of the Thirteen Primes and beyond, is set to welcome four new additions in Spring 2027. These figures span both Voyager and Leader Class tiers, bringing a diverse array of characters to life with intricate detail and transformation sequences.
Leading the charge in the Voyager Class is Guzzle, the battle-hardened Autobot, transforming into a formidable tank in 23 steps. This 6.5-inch figure comes equipped with a versatile double cannon and blaster, attachable in both robot and vehicle modes. Joining him is the Maximal Cybershark, a 7-inch figure that masterfully converts between robot and its namesake shark mode in 28 steps, complete with fin accessories and a double missile blaster for aquatic and terrestrial combat.
Elevating to the Leader Class, fans will encounter the enigmatic The Thirteen Onyx Prime The Deceiver. This unique figure, inspired by the narrative of Shockwave’s usurpation of Onyx Prime’s identity, boasts an impressive triple-changing capability: from robot to a creature mode in 12 steps, then further to a centaur mode in an additional 19 steps. Three distinct weapon accessories accompany this shapeshifter, usable across all configurations. Finally, the iconic Decepticon second-in-command, Starscream, rounds out the Age of the Primes reveals. This 7.5-inch Leader Class figure, seemingly drawing inspiration from his Machine Wars iteration, transforms from robot to jet in 26 steps, armed with a sword and blaster that can be integrated into either form.
Original Movie Autobots Return to Studio Series with Major Upgrades
For enthusiasts of the live-action films, the Studio Series line revisits the seminal 2007 Transformers movie with three meticulously updated Autobot figures. These highly anticipated releases, featuring Autobot Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet, boast vehicle modes faithfully recreated from their big-screen counterparts: Jazz’s sleek Pontiac Solstice, Ironhide’s robust GMC TopKick, and Ratchet’s distinctive Hummer H2.
The Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz stands at 4.7 inches, converting into his iconic Pontiac Solstice in 19 steps. This iteration features an all-new, more practical Crescent Cannon, a significant upgrade from the original toy’s oversized attachment. Next, the Voyager Class Autobot Ironhide, a personal favorite for many, commands attention at 6.5 inches. His transformation into the GMC TopKick pickup truck involves 27 steps, and this must-have figure includes two detailed weapon accessories, a notable enhancement over its predecessor. Completing this formidable trio is the Voyager Class Autobot Ratchet, the team’s field medic. At 6.5 inches, Ratchet’s conversion into his Hummer H2 is the most intricate of the three, requiring 31 steps. Crucially, this new figure finally includes a blaster – a perplexing omission from the original – and a buzzsaw, both attachable in either robot or vehicle mode, with the blaster ingeniously designed to attach like a gauntlet.
These exciting revelations coincide with New York Comic Con, where Hasbro is expected to showcase the breadth and innovation of its upcoming Transformers lineup. Whether you’re a veteran collector or a newcomer to the Cybertronian saga, the 2027 releases promise to expand the universe in thrilling new ways, offering both nostalgic joy and fresh interpretations of beloved characters.
