In the lead up to the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie launch, Hasbro has introduced a movie-inspired line of Transformers toys. A highlight of the range is the new Smash Changers figures, which are based on characters from the new movie. The figures convert from alt mode to robot mode in three steps, with each smashing motion activating a conversion step. Hero characters include Optimus Primal, the strong Maximal leader and Optimus Prime, the noble Autobot leader. Smash Changers figures can quickly convert to robot mode and charge onto the battlefield, then can be manually converted back to alt mode.

Transformers fans can gear up for battle with the new Transformers Bumblebee 2-in-1 Mask and Transformers Optimus Primal 2-in-1 Mask. The masks inspire users to imagine being a part of the action, then convert to robot mode to take on smaller scale battles. The 9-inch Transformers masks can convert from robot to mask in 12 steps. Featuring an electric strap and nose padding for an adjustable fit, the masks are inspired by characters from the upcoming movie.

Hasbro is also launching its Star Wars range, inspired by the actionpacked Young Jedi Adventures animated series on Disney+. Fans can collect 4-inch-scale Star Wars figures featuring multiple points of articulation for fun, poseable play. Each pack includes a figure and two series-inspired accessories including a removable cape and Lightsaber. Characters available to collect include Kai BrightStar, Lys Solay, Nubs and Yoda.

Also available in the collection are vehicle and figure sets. Favourite Star Wars characters in the assortment include Nash Durango Figure and Speeder Bike, Kai Brightstar Figure and Speeder Bike, Lys Solay Figure and Speeder Bike and Nubs Figure and Speeder Bike. These four-inch-scale figures feature a moulded-on helmet, Lightsaber accessory and multiple points of articulation for poseable play. The figures fit right into their included Speeder Bike and their hands can even attach to the handles. The bikes features wheels on the bottom, so the characters are ready to roll right out of the pack.

The Star Wars: Tenoo Jedi Temple Playset is also inspired by the action-packed Young Jedi Adventures. Kids ages three and up will love exploring all the features this playset has to offer, like a swinging vine, a classroom area, a vine slide, sleeping quarters, "floating" rocks and Force push panels where Jedi in training can practise their skills. The set features lights and sounds, plus two four-inch-scale figures (Kai Brightstar and a training droid), a Lightsaber, a hologram Yoda and three stone accessories. The temple playset comes with two figures and five entertainment-inspired accessories.
