September 17 is an important day for Transformers fans, as it marks the latest Transformers Day event. Unsurprisingly, Hasbro has some new figures to unveil as part of the event, including a very cool Soundwave figure inspired by 1985’s Transformers: The Movie.
Head to the slideshow gallery below to check out the new Leader Class Soundwave and Hasbro’s latest Transformers x Beyblade collaboration. You can also find new images of previously revealed Transformers figures that go up for preorder today, including figures inspired by Transformers One and Transformers: The Last Knight.
The new Leader Class Soundwave is easily the showpiece of this lineup. As mentioned, this figure is specifically based on the character’s appearance in Transformers: The Movie. This 6.5-inch figure transforms from robot to audio player in 28 steps, and it includes the obligatory cassette tape mini-figures.
Leader Class Soundwave is priced at $59.99 and will be released in early 2026. Preorders will open on the Hasbro Pulse website and other retailers beginning at 10am PT today.
Also revealed today is the Beyblade X and Transformers Collab: Bumblebee 3-60GP vs. Shockwave 5-80O. This set includes two TakaraTomy-designed tops with diecast metal parts and two launchers (Beyblade stadium sold separately).
The Beyblade X and Transformers Collab: Bumblebee 3-60GP vs. Shockwave 5-80O set is priced at $24.99 and is exclusive to Amazon.
As for the new items going up for preorder, fans can look forward to two Transformers: The Last Knight figures (Deluxe Class Barricade and Leader Class Nemesis Prime) and two Transformers One figures (Deluxe Class Airachnid and Voyager Class Alpha Trion). All four figures will be available for preorder on the Hasbro Pulse site and other retailers beginning at 10am PT today.
In other recent Hasbro reveals, the company showed off its upcoming Marvel Legends Maximum Series Deadpool figure and brought a host of Marvel, Star Wars, and G.I. Joe toys to SDCC.
