"Participate in Capitalism, kids! It works!"

Star Eagle is a Maximal who celebrates the United States of America.

Toys

Transformers

  • Star Eagle (Deluxe Class, 2026)
Releasing to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States signing their Declaration of Independence, "Star Eagle" is a redeco of Deluxe Class Airazor from the Kingdom line, transforming into a realistic peregrine falcon colored as a red, white and blue bald eagle in 22 steps. The beast mode has multiple joints in their wings, legs, and head, and an opening beak. Star Eagle includes two red rocket accessories that can be held in their hands or attach to their arms, and can store on their beast mode rear.
Being designed to celebrate the USA, Star Eagle's packaging is decked with several starts and stripes on the box's outside and the cardboard inserts. Unlike the Nerf blasters that Hasbro is also releasing under the 250th anniversary branding, Star Eagle lacks any tacky stars or stripes on the figure itself.
It is currently unknown if the wings' stress mark issue from the original Airazor release is still present.
Per the press release, pre-orders for Star Eagle will begin in March 2026 on Walmart and Hasbro Pulse, and will ship in Spring 2026. Star Eagle's package does not appear to mention any toyline, but the design closely adheres to the new layout followed by the 2025 Age of the Primes and Studio Series toylines.

Notes

  • Star Eagle is part of a Walmart-exclusive initiative across multiple Hasbro brands to, uh, celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. Other toylines getting the USA treatment include Nerf—so children can patriotically shoot at each other soda cans with star-spangled sidearms bearing fanciful names such as "Dunk-Fill Freedom", "Freedom Frenzy", and the van mural-style "Stars & Stripes Eagle Blaster"—and G.I. Joe, via Super7's ReAction+ line, which features the Real American Heroes Duke, Lady Jaye, Snake-Eyes, and Falcon in red, white, and blue fatigues. Yuck.
