So you can only watch the Facebook livestream if you're a Hasbro Pulse member? How does that work?

Notes on Transformers Panel at 2020 Toyfair #HasbroToyFair

PostPosted: Sat Feb 22, 2020 1:44 pm
by william-james88
The Hasbro brand panel has just ended.

Firstly, while not directly Transformers related, Hasbro is bringing GI Joe back. There will be some new 6 inch figures coming out soon with Roadblock, Scarlet, Duke and Snake Eyes.

Now Transformers!

The panel is introduced by Gregg Berger as Grimlock (and as himself).

Netflix Series

We see a sneak peek at the Netflix War for Cybertron trilogy from Rooster Teeth.

It is three parts and Siege takes place in the final hours of the Cybertronian civil war. This will be a military story, with incredible stakes and the bonds that form on the battlefield.

We see stills from the show where we can see Elita One and Bumblebee.
The character designs are taken from the CAD data of the toys, including their transformation.

The trailer is shown. We see Ultra Magnus, Optimus, basically everyone from the Siege line. They look the same as the Siege toys, as told. The animation does not seem as slow as the previous web series but still not smooth either.

We see the Siege rereleases in new decos that we saw earlier today. All will be sold at Walmart.

The Mirage we saw is a Deception disguise

Each figure comes with a piece of Teletran One and you have to collect all 10 figures to build it.

IDW

The new series will get to number 25 and Orion will finally be called Optimus Prime

Earthrise

This is about the journey to earth. A "story" never told before.

Most of the toys we saw in the leaks of the past 2 days are shown now.

Runumuk is shown first and Runabout will be revealed later this year.

Snapderagon and Double Dealer are part of the mercenaries fraction.

We do see Snapgradon's Kaiju mode. Doubledealer turns into a modular base as well.

3 Quintessons revealed.

The Judge which can switch faces with a switch in the back. Comes with a throne which becomes a battle station. The whole figure becomes a playset. A micromaster can go inside the little cage.

Alicon is there and we see Slither Fang who is a cobra that turns into a shield and modular ramp.

Sky Lynx is shown. Has all his 4 modes plus a 5th mode as a bade and the NASA logo is on the shuttle mode. The shuttle is called "the magnificence"

Scorponok is shown, he will be in scale with Fort Max. Great poseability and double headmaster. G1 base will connect to Omega Supreme and all the other modulars from Earthrise.

Generations Selects

This niche ecomm line was a success. There is a 4 pack cassette pack which will complete your cassettes and also give you Doubledealer's aprtners. Warden confirms the blue cassette is Frenzy.

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/gen ... nit-4-pack

Cyberverse

We see deluxe Grimlock, Hot Rod, Arcee and Thunderhowl.

Studio Series

ROTF Soundwave with satelite mode

Topspin

Cliffjumper with a nice cybertronian mode

Scrapper

Sentinel Prime

Blitzwing (Bumblebee)

Skipkack for a movie accurate Devastator

Overload

All these toys are available to preorder for Pulse premium members now and they will be available for non pulse premium members at 4 pm EST. Here is the link: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new ... enerations

No worries, you had me scared there for a moment. Comic book fans would no doubt be elated, but I'd be pretty disappointed. 8-)

10 wfc netflix figures or should it be 8? Guessing optimus and some one else autobot voyager? will be in the Netflix releases but it's strange they haven't shown up in the listings. Thd white packaging is kind of neat but nothing that shows the BAF pieces on the front of them.

Was really hoping for confirmation that Spy Patrol Unit 2 would get rereleased being possibly the rarest release in Siege. I've never seen one in stores and you can't buy them online outside of eBay.

I have really high hopes for Cyberverse Thunderhowl and Iaconus. Probably the only Cyberverse guys that I’m going to get. As for Studio Series, only Sentinel and ROTF Soundwave appeal to me. Earthrise looks to be interesting, but man, am I looking forward to that Siege show.

If ever I see it, want me to get it for you? Would end up being about $20-25 USD shipped since it's international shipping.

We have images from the Hasbro Brand panel that was held at Toy Fair earlier today. After those images you can also see what was being discussed during the Transformers panel.

But before that, we also have some extra nuggets from Toy Fair. Below is an image of the upcoming retro handhelds from Hasbro as well as the trading cards on site. You can see more images of such here.

Sold out. Was the cassette set a Pulse Exclusive or just a Pulse first? How mad should I be that I had to work?

Below are the videos Seibertron took of the show floor at the 2020 Toy Fair. They do show some things we did not see before. For instance, we see that Doubledealer has a chest compartment, similar to Soundwave. It is demonstrated in the Earthrise video on Seibertron.com's Youtube channel, toward the end of the video.

All the videos can be found below and you can see all the galleries for the event here.

So Doubledealer has panels that flip up on his shoulders to change factions but the con symbol underneath looks like it spins like on Jetfire so I wonder if it shows the Mercenary symbol too??

Only if all thevmercs were part of the same merc group then they might have one. The mercs are all lone operators out for themselves for the most part so there is no need for a unified symbol on them.

But there is a symbol for them, Warden said in the live stream that he is in the Mercenary faction as is Snapdragon apparently

That doesn't mean they need the symbol on them. No point in them having a generic symbol on them if they are or are not in same X company. Just like gangs, they may be in a gang but they would fly their own gangs colors rather than a generic symbol. Hasbro may dumb it down (like decepticon Unicron or autobot stickers on junkticons) to show alliances/play structure.

Official Images for all Toyfair 2020 Transformers Reveals

PostPosted: Mon Feb 24, 2020 10:37 am
by william-james88
Hasbro has provided vibrant versions of their renders for all the toys revealed at Toyfair over the week-end on their Facebook page.

These regroup the robot mode and alt mode(s) in one picture. This serves as a reminder of all the new toys revealed. I myself cannot remember so many reveals all at once. We can see reveals for four lines, those being Cyberverse, Netflix Transformers series, Earthrise and Studio Series. Looking at all this, I can't think back to a better Toy Fair. The ones that stand out to me are Studio Series Blitzwing, Netflix Series Megatron box (with Pinpointer and an orange Lioniser), Thunderhowl and Scorponok, just to name one from each line. How about you?

So, I guess Smokescreen's new number is 80. Did anyone at the toyfair inquire as to why they changed it from 38? The toy still looks awesome. I'm just curious.
