Hasbro debuted several new collectibles at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, including figures from the Transformers: Age of the Primes line. The reveals spanned across the Transformers and G.I. Joe brands, alongside a new LEGO Star Trek set.
Alpha Bravo's 19-step conversion and the Age of the Primes
The standout reveal for Transformers fans is the 5.5-inch Alpha Bravo figure, which is part of the new Age of the Primes collection.. According to the reprot, this figure features a classic white , blue, and orange color scheme and requires 19 steps to convert from robot mode into its iconic helicopter form. Hasbro has equipped the figure with blaster accessories that can be attached in both modes.
Alpha Bravo represents a deep dive into franchise history, as the character originates from the Combiner Wars era. in that specific lore, Alpha Bravo served as the Aerialbot who replaced Slingshot on the team that forms the combiner known as Superion. By bringing this character to the Age of the Primes line, Hasbro is targeting collectors who value the expanded universe over basic G1 nostalgia.
Cobra Valkyrie's $27.99 price point and the G.I.. Joe Retro Cardbacks
Hasbro is leaning heavily into the "retro" aesthetic with its G .I. Joe Classified Series. The company announced a Retro Cardback Cobra Valkyrie single release, which is currently available for pre-order via Hasbro Pulse for $27.99. As reported, this specific figure is scheduled for release in October 2026.
Alongside the Valkyrie, Hasbro unveiled a 6-inch Green Beret figure: Vincent R. Falcon Falcone. This release also utilizes the Retro Cardback packaging and features updated deco and accessories. The move toward retro packaging suggests that Hasbro views the physical presentation of the product as a primary value driver for the adult collector market.
The Studio Series Allicon and the legacy of the Thirteen Primes
Beyond the Aerialbots, Hasbro revealed a 5.5-inch Deluxe Class Studio Series Allicon figure, which is slated to arrive in Spring 2027. This release compleemnts the broader Age of the Primes initiative, a line that celebrates the legacy of the Thirteen Primes—the original beings from whom every bot and power in the Transformers universe is said to descend.
This strategy of "lore-mining" is mirrored by other industry giants at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. for instance, LEGO showcased a new set featuring the Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge. Both Hasbro and LEGO are focusing on high-fidelity recreations of iconic settings and obscure characters to maintain engagement with aging fanbases who have grown up with these franchises.
The missing pre-order details for the Spring 2027 Alpha Bravo
Despite the excitement surrounding the Transformers reveals, several key pieces of information remain unavailable. while the Cobra Valkyrie has a clear price and pre-order path, the report notes that pre-order information for the Alpha Bravo figure is currently unknown. Furthermore, Hasbro has not yet disclosed the retail price for the Studio Series Allicon.
Because the source focuses primarily on Hasbro's announcements, it remains unclear if these figures will have exclusive variants for specific retailers or if they will be available globally through Hasbro Pulse. Collectors will have to wait for further official updates before they can secure the Alpha Bravo or Allicon figures for their Spring 2027 arrival.
