Hasbro unveils three new Transformers figures for the 40th anniversary

Hasbro has announced that three new Transformers figures will be released to mark the 40th anniversary of the original Transformers film, which will celebrate its milestone on August 8, 2026. Pre-orders for these collectibles will begin on April 28, 2026, with a retail release planned for the fall of that same year.

New figures and their features

Of the three announced figures, Blitzwing is the most technically impressive: a Leader Class figure standing 8.5 inches tall that can transform from robot to jet and tank in 41 steps. Blitzwing is priced at $59.99, making him accessible to fans, and he was chosen because of his prominent role in the 1986 film. The figure comes with a range of accessories, including blasters, a sword, and Energon gauntlets, giving collectors plenty of posing options.

There is also Voyager Class Cyclonus, which stands 6.5 inches tall and transforms from robot to a Cybertronian jet. This figure costs $42.99 and includes a single attachable blaster. Cyclonus is designed to emphasize the character’s menace and presence.

The third figure is Deluxe Class Cliffjumper, depicting one of the most beloved members of the original Transformers crew. This 4-inch model transforms from robot to car in 23 steps and is priced at an accessible $27.99.

Sales information

The new figures will be available for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse and at select retailers starting April 28, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET. The figures are also not marked as exclusive to any specific retailer, meaning they will be available through multiple channels.

40th anniversary of the original film

The upcoming release of these figures is a tribute to the rich history of the Transformers franchise, which began in the early 1980s. Hasbro has confirmed that more announcements tied to the 40th anniversary celebration will follow in the coming months, although there is currently no indication that new video games are in the pipeline as part of the festivities.

Conclusion

With the launch of these new figures, Hasbro is adding a new chapter to Transformers history. Fans can look forward to adding these iconic characters to their collections, while also keeping an eye out for future Hasbro announcements tied to the anniversary celebration.
