Does Hasbro/Takara ever show any newer TF toys (test shots/proto types) that they didn't show at botcon's convention in the same year?

I ask because it would be kinda cool/awesome to see never before seen TF toys test )shots/proto types) at both TFCON & SDCC this year.

Thanks to the fine folks at The Perth Mint TFcon 2011 will be giving away Transformers Collectible Coins as first prizes in our costume, 2D art and 3D customs contests this year. Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place customs contest winners will also go home with custom trophies to commemorate their victories. The other categories will go home with original Transformers comic book art thanks to comic book artist Alex Milne.

The 2nd TFcon 2011 exclusive is Toxin!

When Lord Zarak needed someone to help copy the Headmaster and Transtector technology that Stronghold pioneered, he turned to Toxin. Toxin biggest claim to fame back on Cybertron was the mass cloning process of Reflector which bulked out Megatron‘s army during the early days of the war. He made 3 special clones for himself Edge, Shield and Bullet (Dubbed the NIGHT OPS SFX) as his hired goons to help get him needed “materials” for future experiments.
All was going well for Toxin till he along with Lord Zarak got captured by the Autobots. His personal Transtector body was destroyed in the scuffle and now he hopes to break free and commandeer a new one.

Produced by Head Robots, you can now give your headless G1 figures a much needed upgrade. This figure is limited to only 100 pieces and limited to one per attendee.

I suppose it's like the Junkion Blacksmith Headmasters. No REAL purpose or place, just cool. I don't think there is any official canon about a headmaster that turns into a cobra tank thing....but it's neat.
