ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro release, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan.
TRANSFORMERS LOCKDOWN MOVIE
This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and TakaraTomy, much like the Masterpiece Movie Series line. Similar to Power of the Primes, in Takara's Transformers Studio Series (トランスフォーマー スタジオシリーズ Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu) line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was also available at GameStop stores in the United States, and both sets were also listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' Previews catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from Walmart or Target. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 and was later also made available via Hasbro Toy Shop and the Bumblebee Vol. The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to Target and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia the Bumblebee Vol. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, and TFSource.

Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. The earliest exclusives in Studio Series were hit hard by the bankruptcy of Toys"R"Us in several countries. Hasbro Studio Series toyline 2018 Deluxe Class Wave 1 Studio Series also explores toys for characters who had none before, or were left to a smaller size class. The toyline boasts a greater accuracy than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from the films (or games) for reference (though this does fall short for early Bumblebee toys). With rough robot mode scale as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class 18 Deluxe Bumblebee is shorter than Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than Ratchet and Lockdown. If those figures are released as part of different size classes, the backdrops are rescaled accordingly. In some instances, backdrops are repeated between separate figures representing the same scene. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio" –depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. The same also applies to store exclusive figures and multi-packs. It has to date also coincided with Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, the sixth and seventh films in the live-action film series.Įach figure from the Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class assortments is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin.

First revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, Transformers Generations: Studio Series (aka Transformers: Studio Series), acts as a celebration under the Generations banner of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented.
