Ozformers site owner Griffin took these images and brought some G1 toys as well for comparisons, which you can see below amongst the many pictures. The toys from Transformers The Last Knight were also present, like the newly revealed Armour Grimlock toy. There were also many Robots in Disguise toys such as legion Heatseeker in package and warrior Twinferno.

I will say though I EXPECT NEW MOVIE LEGIONS for either the Bumblebee Movie of the next main movie's toyline. as they won't have the excuse of RID then.
Optimus' legion looks rather like one of the exclusives too.
Bee will have some small excuse if he's a paler yellow - otherwise i'll just look at the complete lack of vehicle mode paint and despair.
I really wish they'd sell Hunggrr as Twinferno or something so I can at least get a bit closer to making a frankenstein combiner out of all the stray Predacon repaints - just need some torsos.
I think they need to bring back Cyberverse commander class make the main dinobots in that size as new moulds and make the tiny cute versions from superbowl in one of the other lines.
I hope some of those items on display are indications of reissues as I never did find a Patrol Strongarm so a reissue of her would be useful.
The Negative colour Strongarm is interesting - might have worked better in black or white instead of blue though as the Transforming parts would have been better in white. I'm surprised to see he made with that Transformation though - I wonder if they can get a Ratchet out of that too.
Looking forward to 3-step and one-step Soundwave. I might even open 3-step Soundwave and I usually don't bother opening 3-steps.
Trypticon next to Gigastorm really does show how similar they are and really would hammer down how naff it would be if they didn't offer that minor remould/repaint as one of the exclusives .
P.s. Nice to see RID Bludgeon is there too.
I wonder if they have considered making a purple RID Blurr at all ?

About that... only Wave 1 Legions are all redecos. The rest will be new molds, including Dragonstorm.

These days I wouldn't dare to hope.
Have any of them been shown then ?

Which brings me to an interesting question: Rodimus and Thunderwing from the box sets are shown off... but where's the rest?

They only had the heads as part of the trypticon playset to have as much titan master variety as possible. Griffin thinks it was an oversight.

So lets talk about movie Drift:
He was a Bugatti Veyron in AOE and turned into a blue robot.
He is now a Mercedes SLS, and turns into a red robot. Is he the movie's version of Frenzy and Rumble?
Drift is blue, no Drift is red, Drift was blue...
Octane looks pretty close to his G1 design, not sure why people are complaining about it.
and I'm loving Blitzwing. definitely a much better use of the mold over Megs.
Will definitely track him down, and add him to my Blitzwing display which consists of 2 Blitzwings at this time.

Who knows? What we do know is that the Titan Master is called Necro, and is designed after a rather obscure partner of Trypticon: Wipe-Out.
