by It has been announced that the new original Japanese short animation ” Transformers Wild King ” of Takara Tomy’s transforming robot character “Transformers” will be distributed on the official Takara Tomy YouTube channel ” Takara Tomy Channel ” from March 26, 2025. This is the first new original Japanese Transformers animation in 10 years, and the first in the toy series will be released on April 26.
The long-loved “Transformers” will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024. Takara Tomy created this “Japanese toy-based” content. With the release of the seventh live-action film, “Transformers: Beast Awakens,” in 2023 and the new dimension real-CG movie, “Transformers: ONE,” in 2024, the number of children’s fans is increasing.
In response, Transformers: Wild King will be released as a new Japanese animation and toy series for the first time in 10 years, with the desire to let children enjoy the world of Transformers even more. Each episode will be distributed in a short animation format of about 6 minutes, including the toy introduction part, on YouTube so that children can watch it as often as they like.
The new short animation “Transformers: Wild King” features the popular Optimus Prime and Megatron as the main characters. The latest animal and dinosaur transformers, “Energy Beasts,” appear and battle on the mysterious Elements.
The highlight is the ” Wild King,” where the “Energy Beasts” transform and combine with “Optimus Prime” and “Megatron.” This work is filled with elements that fascinate children, such as “a large gathering of animals, dinosaurs, cars, and robots” and “powerful transformation and combination scenes.”
In addition, the “Transformers: Wild King” toy series will be launched in conjunction with this new short animation. Eight types, including the first in the series, “WKS-01 Optimus Prime & Light Long Wild Docking Set,” will be released from April 26 at toy specialty stores, toy sections of department stores and mass retailers, online shops, Takara Tomy Mall, and other locations nationwide.
