From L'Oreal
First revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, Studio Series, underneath the Generations banner, acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It also coincided with Bumblebee, the sixth film in the live-action film series.

Each toy is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side-by-side.
With rough robot mode scale as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class; 18 Deluxe Bumblebee is shorter than Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than Ratchet and Lockdown.
Waves Protocol to release major update. And in July 2019, Ride 4 dApps was released, enabling the creation of fully-fledged decentralized apps. Which facilitates complete deletion of key.
The toyline boosts a greater accuracy than lines previous, due to using relative scale, as mentioned above, and using models in the films for reference as opposed to concept art, though this does fall short for early Bumblebee toys. Studio Series also explores toys for characters who had none before, or were left to a smaller size class.
A subline called Studio Series 86 was introduced in 2021, featuring characters from The Transformers: The Movie, in celebration of that film's 35th anniversary. The toys are in the style and scale of those from the concurrently-ran War for Cybertron Trilogy. Additionally, all Voyager Class toys in this subline feature blast effects compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System.

Multi-packs and exclusives
68 Deluxe Class Leadfoot (w/ Steeljaw)
These are even more complicated than usual, and that's before international releases come into play. Thundercracker was originally released as a worldwide Toys'R'Us exclusive, but due to the bankruptcy of Toys'R'Us in several countries, he only had a very short availability window in those markets. and was never added to the Toys'R'Us online store before the latter ceased operations. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was originally intended as a Toys'R'Us exclusive but ultimately was only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys'R'Us by the time it came out. In the United States, both Thundercracker and the 2-pack were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, and TFSource, although the 2-pack was also inexplicably found at a single Target store several months earlier.
The Bumblebee Then & Now 2-pack was exclusive to Target in the United States and to Kmart in Australia; the Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 and was later also made available via Hasbro Toy Shop (and additionally was also available at general retail in Taiwan and was offered at Comic-Con Paris 2018); and both the Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set and the Drift/Baby Dinobots set appear to be 'online exclusives' shared between the same online retailers that also offered Thundercracker and the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack, although both were initially claimed to be exclusive to Entertainment Earth. We say 'appear' because the Retro Pop Highway set was also available at GameStop stores in the United States, and both sets were also listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' Previews catalog, so really the only 'exclusivity' for these appears to be that neither of them is available from Walmart or Target. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, and much later, was put up for pre-order on Toys'R'Us' Canadian website, and then on Target's US website before being found in stores. 'As Seen In Parks' Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a year after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the toy was only released exclusively to online retailers in the US. Leadfoot was released as a Target exclusive in the US.

Studio Series (TakaraTomy)
Movist 2 0 0 beta 19. Similar to Power of the Primes, in Takara's Studio Series (スタジオシリーズ) line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and TakaraTomy, much like the Masterpiece Movie Series line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro release, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Starting with wave 4, the packages feature the franchise's 35th anniversary logo.

Notes
- Studio Series can be considered a 'sister series' to Hasbro's Star Wars: The Black Series and Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years, which are based around a similar concept and feature a similar overall packaging design.
- In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very existence of the Studio Series general retail line-up, though not the actual title 'Studio Series' yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for '2017' instead of 2018 (which included dates predating the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro finally acknowledged the existence of the Studio Series line, and revealed the first few waves during New York Toy Fair 2018, even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the Hasbro Toy Shop website. Simultaneously, TakaraTomy revealed their version of the line at Wonder Festival Winter 2018.
- Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were not officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in Revenge of the Fallen), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their 'Hasbro Pulse' Instagram account a few days before San Diego Comic-Con, even though they still hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
- Like with previous movie-based lines, Studio Series also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. This time, the 'theme' for those code names was 'Australian race horses':
- Bumblebee: 'Stryker'
- Dropkick: 'Blue Lightning' or 'Blue Light'
- Megatron: 'Fox'
- Optimus Prime: 'Radar'
- KSI Sentry: 'Sentry'
- Shadow Raider: 'Mercenary'
- Shatter: 'Red Lightning' or 'Red Light'

Waves Audio Ltd. is a developer and supplier of professional digital audio signal processing technologies and audio effects, used in recording, mixing, mastering, post production, broadcast, and live sound. The company's corporate headquarters and main development facilities are located in Tel Aviv, with additional offices in the United States, China, and Taiwan, and development centers in India and Ukraine.
In 2011, Waves won a Technical Grammy Award.[1][2]
History[edit]
Waves Audio was founded in 1992 by Gilad Keren and Meir Sha'ashua in Tel Aviv, Israel.[3] Later that year, Waves released its first product, the Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer. The Q10 was the audio industry's first commercially available audio plugin.[4][5]
Waves' L1 Ultramaximizer, released in 1994, became a prominent plugin, with some publications pointing to it as contributing to the 'loudness war' behind modern music mastering.[6] Record producer Tony Maserati said of early Waves software, '[they] were the only plugins [that were] quality and they were creative.'[7] Waves later launched a signature line of Maserati inspired plugins.
Waves launched the Waves Signature Series working with music producers and engineers to explore their unique sounds. In 2009, as part of the Signature Series, Waves released the Eddie Kramer Signature Series of five plug-ins focusing on classic rock.[8] The Chris Lord-Alge Signature Series followed in 2010.[9]
In 2011, the company was honored with a Technical Grammy Award for 'contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field.'[1][2]
Waves 10 Complete V24 4 2019 Release 2020
The Waves Signature Series continued in 2013 with the Manny Marroquin Signature Series.[10] In 2015, Waves worked with music producer Butch Vig to release the Butch Vig Vocals plug-in as part of the Waves Signature Series.[11]
In 2018, Waves released the Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain as part of their Abbey Road collection.[12] The chain is modeled after the consoles used in the Abbey Road Studios mastering suites.[12]

Waves Audio sells over 200 software products dedicated to music production, engineering, mixing, and mastering, in addition to a variety of virtual instruments and effects.[13] Notable software includes:

Technology[edit]
In 2010, Waves announced the release of its SoundGrid technology at the Winter NAMM show. SoundGrid was created to make Waves audio processors available on a low-latency platform.[20] The SoundGrid system consists of a Linux-based server that runs the SoundGrid environment, compatible plug-ins, a Mac or Windows control computer, and a digital-analog interface for input/output (I/O). It is used for live sound, broadcast, and post production—and provides a low latency environment for audio processing on certain hardware audio mixing consoles, e.g., DiGiCo, Allen & Heath, and Yamaha.
Under its Maxx brand, Waves offers its technologies as licensable algorithms for consumer electronics. Technologies from the Maxx brand have been used in products including computers, laptops, smartphones, VoIP and portable loudspeaker systems from companies such as Dell,[21]Toshiba,[22]Sony, Oppo, OnePlus,[23]Sanyo, JVC, and Altec Lansing.
Waves 10 Complete V24 4 2019 Release Dates
Waves launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2016 to help fund the production of Waves Nx, a technology that transmits 3D audio on headphones in stereo or 5.1/7.1 surround sound.[24][25] The technology generates a three-dimensional virtual audioscape that allows users to 'detect which direction sounds are coming from.'[26]
Along with the Waves Nx, Waves has also developed the Waves B360 Ambisonics Encoder to assist engineers mixing 360-degree and VR audio projects.[27] Audeze Mobius headphones are operated with Waves' Nx technology.[28]
Currently, Waves Maxx technology is available on IoT, mobile, smart assistance, and communication devices. Waves Maxx partnerships include Google, LG, Acer, Fitbit, Qualcomm, and Intel. Additionally, Waves Nx technology for 3D audio is available in gaming headphones and other devices by Acer, and Audeze. Film score mixer Alan Meyerson said of Waves' technology, '[it has] changed the sound of film scores.'[29]
Copyright and trademark lawsuits[edit]
In 2010, Waves Audio was involved in two lawsuits regarding intellectual property infringements and illegal use of its software. In one lawsuit, with the defendant Skyline Recording Studios NYC, Waves won, and in the other, with the defendant Quad Recording Studios, the defendant admitted liability.[30][31]
In 2013, Waves Audio sued Motorola Mobility for allegedly infringing on its Maxx trademark with the Droid Razr Maxx and Droid Razr Maxx HD phones.[32]
