Are Transformers
still made?
Confirmed through Hasbro’s 2026 Toy Fair announcement and product lookbook, including new Studio Series figures honoring the animated movie’s 40th anniversary.
The short history
Transformers reached U.S. toy aisles in 1984, pairing transforming robot figures with an animated conflict between Autobots and Decepticons. The toys, television series and 1986 movie made the transformation itself part puzzle, part character reveal.
What survived
Robots that convert into vehicles or creatures remain the defining play pattern, with Optimus Prime, Megatron and other familiar characters still recurring.
What changed
The brand has moved through many continuities and scales; modern figures often add far more articulation, detail and transformation steps than 1980s toys.
Current versions
Hasbro’s current assortment spans multiple scales and audiences. Studio Series revisits screen designs—including the 1986 animated movie—while other lines offer simpler play patterns or different eras of the franchise.
