Hasbro is marking a major Transformers anniversary with a new wave of Target-exclusive figures. Confirmed via TFW2005's June 5, 2026 pre-order announcement and cross-referenced with Comics Beat's Target Summer Geek-Out coverage, the Studio Series More Than Meets The Eye Collection brings three new releases celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie.
TFW2005 and Comics Beat's coverage confirms the following:
Prowl, the Autobot military strategist known for his loyalty and patience, converts from robot to police car mode in 15 steps at 5-inch scale. The figure includes movie-inspired details and comes with attachable siren bar and blaster accessories.
Starscream, the ambitious Decepticon looking to unseat Megatron, converts from robot to jet mode in 27 steps at 6.75-inch scale. The figure includes movie-inspired detailing and attachable null ray accessories.
The Insecticons set includes three 5.5-inch figures: Bombshell (bot to beetle mode in 13 steps), Shrapnel (bot to stag beetle in 11 steps), and Kickback (bot to grasshopper mode in 14 steps). The set includes 6 glow-in-the-dark Energon cube accessories shared across the three figures.
Rather than a single anniversary figure, Hasbro built out a genuine multi-character wave spanning both factions, giving MTMTE collectors a Decepticon leader-tier figure, an Autobot strategist, and an entire trio of Insecticons in one Target-exclusive release. The shared glow-in-the-dark Energon cube accessories across the Insecticons 3-pack also give that set a display feature the individually sold Prowl and Starscream figures don't have.
With three separate releases and a mix of Deluxe, Voyager, and multi-pack scales, this wave has more individual pieces to keep organized than a typical single-figure release.
For Prowl and the individual Insecticons once converted and posed, EVORETRO's action figure display case keeps smaller-scale figures dust-free on a shelf.
For the larger Voyager Class Starscream, EVORETRO's acrylic action figure case gives a taller figure enclosed protection sized for 6-inch-plus scale.
Target, as a confirmed exclusive.
Prowl is $27.99, Starscream is $42.99, and the Insecticons 3-pack is $79.99.
The 40th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie.
Three: Bombshell, Shrapnel, and Kickback, plus 6 glow-in-the-dark Energon cube accessories.
Hasbro's Studio Series MTMTE Collection gives The Transformers: The Movie a genuine 40th anniversary showcase, spanning a Decepticon leader-tier Starscream, an Autobot strategist in Prowl, and a full glow-in-the-dark Insecticons trio, all as a Target exclusive. With pre-orders already live, this is a wave worth tracking as a complete three-item set rather than picking up individually.
Getting display and protection ready across all three scales makes it easier to keep this anniversary wave looking sharp as each figure arrives.
