Transformers 40th Anniversary Brings Back Cliffjumper, Cyclonus, and Blitzwing This Fall

Three classic characters from The Transformers: The Movie are returning to mark the film's 40th anniversary. Confirmed via Hasbro's official reveal and reported by CBR and Gamerant, the Studio Series (86) trio of Cliffjumper, Cyclonus, and Blitzwing is targeting a Fall 2026 launch with locked pricing across three different figure classes.

This is a confirmed upcoming release with locked class pricing, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About the 40th Anniversary Trio

Hasbro's official reveal, as reported by CBR, confirms the following:

  • Deluxe Class Cliffjumper: $27.99, approximately 4 inches tall
  • Voyager Class Cyclonus: $42.99, approximately 6.5 inches tall
  • Leader Class Blitzwing: $59.99, approximately 8.5 inches tall, a triple changer
  • All three characters appeared in The Transformers: The Movie, with Cyclonus notably introduced as one of the film's new Decepticons
  • Targeting a Fall 2026 launch, with Hasbro expected to confirm a firm release date by late summer
  • Coincides with the film's 40th anniversary theatrical re-release, screening in 4K in US theaters September 17-21, 2026

A Genuine Movie-Era Tribute

Rather than reissuing existing tooling, this trio represents a coordinated 40th anniversary release spanning three different figure classes and price points, giving collectors a way to build out a movie-accurate lineup that spans both classic Autobots and Decepticons from the film's most memorable additions.

Why Blitzwing's Triple Changer Status Matters

As a Leader Class triple changer, Blitzwing carries the most complex engineering of the trio, converting between three distinct forms rather than the standard robot-and-vehicle two-mode format, which justifies both its larger scale and higher $59.99 price point.

Planning Around a Fall 2026 Launch

With a firm release date still pending as of this reveal, it's worth watching for Hasbro's late-summer confirmation while budgeting across three different price tiers.

For Cliffjumper at Deluxe Class's compact scale, EVORETRO's articulated action figure stands fit comfortably.

For displaying all three classes together at their varying heights, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add tiered depth that accommodates a mixed-scale lineup.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming a firm release date is already set, when Hasbro has only targeted Fall 2026 pending late-summer confirmation
  • Underestimating the price gap between Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures when budgeting for all three
  • Confusing this movie-accurate trio with unrelated Transformers: The Movie merchandise
  • Missing the connection to the film's September 17-21 theatrical re-release when timing a purchase
