Scooby-Doo is getting an entire October takeover, and somehow the Mystery Machine has also become a Transformer. That feels like a very specific gift for the person whose childhood interests never moved out.
Scoobtober 2026 starts October 1. Warner Bros. Discovery’s September 30 announcement lays out the TV marathons, streaming collections and collaborations, including Hasbro’s Mysterious Prime and Automutt set.
The Mystery Machine turns into a robot
Hasbro Pulse’s U.S. listing shows the set at $57.99 and in stock at the time of writing. Mysterious Prime converts between a robot and a Mystery Machine-inspired van; Automutt converts between a Scooby-inspired robot and a Scooby Snacks box. Four interchangeable heads let the bigger robot resemble different Mystery Inc. members.
A dog turning into the snacks he wants to eat is a wonderfully ridiculous design decision.
The toy was announced earlier this year. The fresh news is its inclusion in the October celebration, so this is not an October 1 preorder drop. Price and stock can change.
The marathons begin October 1
Cartoon Network’s North American lineup begins with What’s New, Scooby-Doo? on October 1, then daily Scooby programming through Halloween. SCOOB! is listed for October 10 and 31.
Boomerang’s North American marathon runs October 1–2, followed by daily blocks. HBO Max will feature Scooby content in its Kids & Family Halloween collections.
MeTV Toons has Sunday favorites beginning October 4, including Ghoul School, The Reluctant Werewolf and Meets the Boo Brothers. Check your provider’s guide or MeTV Toons for local listings.
An easy excuse for a Halloween movie night
You do not need a new collectible to participate. Pick a channel you already have, check the schedule, and let a very hungry Great Dane handle the mysteries for a while.
