As Hasbro‘s Transformers near the end of their 35th-anniversary celebration, the design team behind the legendary robots is already looking ahead.

At the Dortmund Comic Con in Germany this weekend, the Transformers team dropped the curtain on a trio of new figures that will join the Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Class lineup. The Studio Series invites fans to “reach past the big screen” with figures that are inspired by scenes from the Transformers movie universe. New, scene-specific versions of Bumblebee, Shatter, and Roadbuster will be available beginning April 1.
