It looks like Starscream got afflicted with the some "warm coloring" that hit TFOne Optimus Prime. I still think Hasbro was provided the Pantone color FROM A SCENE, not the "foundation" color.

Jtprime17 is really sucking at retirement and god bless him for it!


Notes:
-No AOTP Titan in 2026. That's because Studio Series is getting its first Titan instead. AOTP will have 2 Commanders instead.
-Comics is being introduced to Studio Series in 2027.
-Leader Hound, Swoop, Slp Prime, Fort Max and Soundwave are super early 2027 listings.

Well, now I'm compelled to wait before getting the normal SS86 Megatron until after we see what the exclusive Anniversary version looks like.

Looks like Marvel fans are getting their purple Soundwave after all :p

I'm eager to see Fort Max. My Headmaster crew feels incomplete without him, but I just couldn't swing the full Titan price. I suppose it remains how many of those "repeats" are actually new, or just package refreshes. That said, Scourge was a bit hard to get so I think I'm okay with a rerun. I place even odds on SLP Prime being a "cost reduced" Commander to compliment the 86 Megatron or its repaint.

I'm hoping TF4 Bumblebee is a new take on the High Octane/Retro 67 Camaro mode and not, yet another, modern Camero version. Given how good the prior TLK Leader Megatron was, I have high expectations for this new one. Though, it was so good, I'd argue a reissue probably wouldn't be a horrible idea.

I'm betting Comic Fort Max will actually be IDW1 tank-treaded Fort Max instead of the Marvel version who was just the classic Citybot design but scaled to roughly Optimus Prime height.

Hoping for a good TF4 Bee. They already just reissued the High Octane mold in Buzzworthy, but the other AOE designs (Op, Sideways, Sideswipe, Galvatron) have gotten new molds.

I REALLY wish they'd get around to the offscreen characters and stuff.

SS86 Cyclonus, please be the lighter blue-violet. Points if it's slightly metallic like the Unite Warriors one.

SLP Optimus is probably a dead gray Optimus. Or maybe in color but retooled with the battle damaged parts.

Yeah, this is probably another name for Dead OP, like Earthrise's "Alternate Universe Optimus Prime". This is what the MDLX figure and MP-4S were called.

At the very least, maybe has alternate battle-damaged parts and the gun he blasted Prime with.

Funny enough, you might see that color on Op in foundation (makeup)...

My wish would be for Anniversary Megatron to be a translucent purple reformatting Megatron.
You're not the first person I've seen speculate that exact possibility.

Some Studio Series talk drifted over into the Age of the Primes discussion, but…

One point of speculation I posted (and others) was that the 2026 Titan for Studio Series will be a new Unicron to tie in to the film’s Anniversary. As is, the last Unicron we got (besides the HasLab) was limited release during the LAST anniversary of the 86 film.

That could be interesting. Now that the designers know Unicron doesn't have to have a turtle shell, I bet Takara could work some magic.

Leader-sized comics Fort Max!! Purple Soundwave!! Can't wait to complain they didn't get the shade right ;)

(Also, I hope they're just 'normal' colors, didn't care much for the faux "comics shading" on the comics Grimlock and Shockwave we got.)
