Transformers Studio Series Kranix Brings a 40-Year-Old Movie Survivor to Deluxe Class

A long-overlooked character from The Transformers: The Movie is finally getting a modern figure. Confirmed via Hasbro's official product listing and reported by CBR and tformers.com, Transformers Studio Series Kranix is a 5.5-inch Deluxe Class figure scheduled for release in September 2026 at a retail price of $27.99.

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

What's Confirmed About Kranix

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

  • Release date: September 2026
  • Price: $27.99 USD
  • 5.5-inch Deluxe Class figure
  • Converts between robot and spaceship modes in 20 steps
  • Includes a blaster accessory that attaches in both modes
  • Kranix is a Lithone character, not a Cybertronian, and was never shown transforming in the original 1986 film
  • The spaceship alt mode is based on a design that first appeared in Marvel's Transformers comic books

Why This Figure Fills a Real Gap

Since Kranix's species was never actually depicted transforming in The Transformers: The Movie, Hasbro sourced an alternate mode from Marvel's comic adaptation, giving longtime fans of the 1986 film a genuinely new piece of established lore brought to life in toy form for the first time.

The Comic-Sourced Alt Mode

Basing the spaceship transformation on Marvel's comic book depiction, rather than inventing an entirely new mode, ties this figure directly to existing Transformers continuity rather than treating it as a pure novelty.

Planning Around the September Release

With a confirmed price and month, collectors have a clear runway to plan a pre-order ahead of the September 2026 arrival.

For a completed Deluxe Class build in either mode, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case offers a clean, dust-free display option.

For a posed robot-mode display with the blaster attached, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming Kranix was shown transforming in the original 1986 film
  • Missing that the spaceship mode is sourced from Marvel's comic continuity rather than the movie
  • Confusing this Deluxe Class figure with the larger Leader Class Studio Series releases
  • Leaving the blaster accessory loose rather than attached in either mode
